A Very White Trash Xmas


Twas the night before Christmas, for poor old white trash.
Our heroes gathered together and got stoned off their ass.
The screen was pulled out and cleaned with a wire,
Then they repacked the bowl and set it to fire.

The buds were dark green with hairs blonde and red,
So they inhaled it deep, took it straight to the head.
Prick dressed like Santa with red suit and hat.
"Where the fuck are you going all dressed up like that?"

"I told you last week, you ought to recall,
I'm working as Santa down at the mall."
So he exclaimed as he headed to work
"See you guys later" They said, "Fuck off, you jerk"

The heroes went out to sing Christmas songs,
But they fucked up the words and had the melodies wrong
So instead of songs of frosty, Rudolph, or Santa and his sled,
They found less appropriate songs to sing instead.

Then they went to a church for the Christmas sermon,
Passionately preached in broken English and German
He preached about God, and he preached about sin.
Then wouldn't you know it, Prick just walked in.

"Those damn whiney bastards and arrogant shits.
I just couldn't take it, I flipped out and quit!
All I could think of as I looked at each punk
Was smoking a bong and getting blind drunk."


So they went back and partied, played cards and beer pong.
For awhile things were good, everyone got along.
But soon things turned bad on this cold Xmas night
As everyone started to argue and fight.

Because when these friends drink alcohol everyone knows
Before the night's over they'll be coming to blows.
They smashed Xmas presents and knocked down the tree.
And one of them filled the egg nog with pee.

And on Xmas morning the house was a mess.
And the unhappy couple said to their hungover guests.
They screamed at the heroes, "Wake the fuck up and leave!"
And they never spoke again...
.... til the next Xmas Eve.

The White Trash Bible

Hello everybody !!!
I wanted to make an entry that covers the basic overall concept and recurring themes of White Trash Heroes.

The Heroes are a group of mostly single guys that like to party and do dumb shit.
Although sometimes people get hurt, it's all just friendly violent fun.
During many episodes at some point a huge fight will break out. 
These always occur when people are drunk.
The important thing to come away with here is that after the fights everybody gets along again.
Sometimes they'll share a ride to the Emergency Room.

There will be at least one character that is someone's imaginary friend.
(There will eventually be an episode called "imaginary friends" that is a parody of the friends tv series.)

And there is one character that is a ventriliquist dummy.

There will be one character that does weird stuff to get high, like drinking paint thinner and huffing elmers glue.
(note to self- be sure to put a disclaimer in each episode that says don't drink paint thinner or huff glue.)

All episodes feature characters in a "confessional"-style scene. 
In these scenes the characters talk directly to the camera just like on all those stupid reality shows.
There is a set look for this scene  and the camera work should look really crappy.

During scenes featuring drug use, no one is ever shown actually taking drugs. Although we can show people exhaling smoke.

If people respond well to season 1, we plan on a kickstarter (or some such) campaign to help use improve for season 2.

Top Banana

Had a great idea today.
Thanks to Mister Jonathon Hammel aka Scott Johnson.
He brought over a banana costume.
We're going to do something with this.
Pics coming soon.

Scriptwriting 101


I just completed the very first rough draft outline of an episode of White Trash Heroes.
It's not the first episode of the series, I started with the Xmas episode, because it's the episode I had the most ideas for. I don't know how much of an actual script I'm going to be writing for this because I have a game plan in mind that doesn't call for writing a standard script. My scripts will map out what happens during the scene and any bullet points that need to be touched on as far as dialogue, but much of the scene will be improv. If you want to check out what I've done, you can look at the post for the "Merry Fucking Xmas" episode. It's not a completed work even by my "bullet-point" script standards, but it is a start point. I'm going to get together with other writers in the coming weeks to flesh this out and work on other episodes. The most important thing is to make sure that the narrative is done very well. And we will definately have our work cut out for us with the sets. We will need a church hall with a pulpit and pews, a Santa's North Pole at the Mall, and a home decorated for xmas, in addition to our normal set. And I get to dress up as Santa Prick !!

New Character



I came up with a great idea for a new character.
I've been thinking about it for a few days and I really like the idea.
Jonathon Hammel was talking about playing more than 1 character and I thought that he, or someone else, could put on some kind of disguise and do this.
The character is a preacher on the rare occasions that we have a scene in a church.
The conversation or whatever is going on in the seats always is more focused on than what the preacher is doing, but if you pay attention, the sermons will be old tv theme songs spoken like Sam Kinson ( or Steve Martin) talking like a televangelist.
Would definitely be used in the Xmas episode.
Not sure when else the WTH would be in a church.
