The 404 371: Where we get viral with DJ The Fro

From the creators of “Drawn Together” comes “DJ & The Fro,” a new daily, animated show on MTV. The 404 speaks to the creators, Matt Silverstein and Dave Jeser, about the show and talk about how Michael Jackson’s death almost ruined the shows’ first few episodes.

The show creators call it a rip-off of “Beavis and Butthead” for the viral video generation. DJ and the Fro are two twenty-somethings, who spend most of their day watching viral videos and commenting on them. Sounds eerily similar to what The 404 guys do all day long. Anyway, the guys tell us about how the show came into being and let us know that a “Drawn Together” straight-to-DVD movie is coming out as well!

“DJ & The Fro” reminds us a bit of “Tosh.0” on Comedy Central, which premiered just a few weeks ago. The 404 guys think we should have jumped on to this bandwagon a long time. This is what we do already for the show every day!

Anyway, hope you all enjoy the abbreviated show along with our Michael Jackson commentary. He will be missed. Spend your weekend listening to your favorite MJ jam and reminisce about the fond memories you had while karaoking to “Billie Jean.”
