Funny: ‘Would You Like To Sign Up For Our Rewards Program?’

Matt Wilkas and Daniel Vincent Gordh (screen captures)
The latest episode of the absurdist web series Matt and Dan (written, created and produced by Matt Wilkas and Daniel Vincent Gordh) goes down the rabbit hole of signing up for a ‘rewards card’ at your favorite market. Like, it’s so easy, right? “Only takes a minute, you can earn up to 20 percent off your first purchase!” Or, not. Matt (in a lovely wig) makes the reward program sound SO awesome, including chances to win trips to Maui or Paris, so Dan gives in. Sometimes it’s just easier to say ‘yes,’ you know? But a few complications set in – enter your cell number, get the promo code, read the code to the cashier – and soon Paris isn’t sounding too beguiling. But maybe Dan would like to make a charitable donation? Or get a flu shot? We’ve all been there when the quick stop for some gum takes a turn into the absurd and getting out of the convenience store is like solving world peace. Watch Matt and Dan remind us why shopping online can be so peaceful. For more from the funny duo, click here.

‘Matt & Dan’ Serve Up Deliciously Off-Kilter Encounter

Don’t you hate it when folks come up to you in public, immediately jump into conversation like they know you, but you have NO IDEA who they are? The latest episode from Matt Wilkas and Daniel Vincent Gordh’s self-titled web series, Matt & Dan, takes the ‘where do I know you from?’ scenario and ramps up the socially awkward score to Level 10. In ‘Best Friends For Never,’ Matt (above) is grabbing some java on his way to CrossFit class when Dan spots him from across the coffee shop. Dan: “Oh, my god…Ben!” Matt: (draws total blank) “So fun…”(not) Amid weird hugs and kisses, Matt tries to decipher where he knows Dan from, but…nothing. Every question is met with a dodge even though Dan clearly knows a LOT about Matt’s life – his recent birthday party, his gym workout schedule… When Matt’s friend ‘Sarah’ (guest star Julia Cho) gets dragged into the increasingly weird meet-up, she tries to divine some background (“Are you in Jill’s Pilates class? Northwestern?”), but only finds herself further and further in the Twilight Zone. We won’t give away where it all goes, but props to the duo for the deliciously off-kilter encounter. Plus – bonus points for Matt Wilkas in a tank top 🙂 Check out the new episode below, and you can find past episodes on their YouTube channel here.
