Mr Deity Fan Bloggerz

Thank you commentors for a great deal of the "meat" of this fanblog.
It does seem Sony Pictures' Crackle has been out to test our "faith", eh?

The comment thread has been replete with: opinion, visits from from both "Mr Deity" and "Larry", a snark or two, and even poetry. Resourceful fans have been trading tips and ferreting out snippets of info. Commenter Tom L drolly informs us that the last episode from "Season 1" is planned to be introduced to new fans October 6, with Season 2's Episode 11 being released October 17.

Snark away!
(For reference... quick-link for the thread so far)

Hey, who are these dudes? Season 2 (Pre) Promo

Taking a peek around the "fourth wall" of the Mr. Deity set.

Great Drinkers Present "Proof" of Mr Deity's Existence

Establishing shot... Earth time: 2007
Mr. Deity, Lucy, Larry and Jesse grab their favorite table in the corner of the bar.
They are meeting to brainstorm about how to mess with physics researchers who are on the verge of finding the "God Particle" at CERN labs in Switzerland.

While they wait for the fifth member of their party, (young Ms. Fate, who's arrival is proving rather unpredictable), Jesse asks Mr. Deity: "Sir", "Tell us again why exactly you don't let people know you exist for sure or not?"

"Listen, I have refused to prove that I exist," says Mr. Deity, "...because as I've said before, and will say again: PROOF DENIES FAITH, AND WITHOUT FAITH I AM NOTHING!"

"Yes but... Sir?..." Larry worries out-loud, "As we three sit here looking at you, we have no "faith" per se that you exist, so by your own argument, you don't... I mean, you wouldn't, ...would you?... Sir?"

"Oh shoot!," says Mr Deity, (accidentally spilling his drink in the tortilla chips,) "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly disappears in a puff of irreconcilable logic.

(Thanks to the late great Douglas Adams, commenter Nalene and Mr. D.)

"I hear great rumblings...", mumbled the eccentric oracle "Wingo" upon arriving back from the top of the volcano.

...and just into the concession stand!

(...along with a re-supply of Goobers you demanded,) the long promised Mr. Deity goodies have finally arrived! Yippee!

(We may just have to keep the stand open longer so everyone can browse the shop before we start the show.)

See the Mr Deity line via MrDeity.com or go directly to the Mr.Deity store at CafePress.

I think I'm gonna enjoy confusing my friends and the faithful alike with my "What Would Jesse Do?" T-shirt! hahaha

Time to visit our concession stand!

Ah, such a lovely late-summer evening. What's that sound? Never mind, the MrDeityFan Star-Lite Drive-In refreshment booth has many scrumptious snacks & tasty treats and is open all night!

I'm constantly impressed with the MrDeityFan crowd. This is your venue. "Blogging is easy, commenting is hard." If you visit this blog, you gotta visit the comment threads. (Including the previous one[s].)

Just be sure also to pick up some bug repellent before heading back to your car for the show. ...Looks like there'll be time.

Mr. Deity Snags #1 Top Billing on Sony's Crackle

[composite artwork by moi, your faithful blog host]

On the first day of operation for Sony's Crackle new streaming-media venture, "Mr. Deity" episode #2; "The Really Big Favor" was the very first video any visitor saw! Score!
Normally "Mr. Deity" is brought to you via Crackle's "Funny" channel. (Where "Mr Deity" episode #1 now has the top spot.) All the Mr. Deity shorts, (including the soon? to be available #11), can be found on the Mr. Deity profile page.

Congrats Mr Deity Crew - A Major Feat!

Holy Sony Pictures! Do you hear that Crackle? See LA Times article. (more later...)
...OK, I'm back. Ew sorry, I forgot one has to register with the LA Times to read the article. (Hey, It's Monday.) I recommend taking a moment to register at the LA Times, a great paper, but here's the scoop: You know how we first saw Mr Deity on YouTube, and then also on Grouper? Well, Sony bought Grouper and is totally revamping the service. It will be exclusively handling quality new talent in the video realm and is now known as "Crackle". New episodes of Mr Deity are being produced exclusively for Sony Pictures / Crackle. If you read the entire, interesting article, you will also note that Brian ("Mr. Deity") Dalton has also been in discussion with some "big name company" about... wait for it... (and note how this blogs' trend-surfing readers keep scooping me), ... a possible future Mr. Deity feature film. In the meantime look for the next Mr. Deity episode on Crackle.com !

Mr. Deity Will Be Back In A Moment !

[artwork, as usual, unless otherwise noted, by moi, your faithful blog host]

Grab your popcorn kids, because there WILL be more Mr. Deity episodes!
Not that I have a special audience with the Almighty or anything, but a little angel, (balding), just sat on my shoulder and gave me, (most of), the scoop. (Oh, and a phone call was made between the coasts.)

The bonus for us fans is that we won't see a huge difference from our regular, anticipated fixes of online Mr. Deity fun. The major difference is that the Mr. Deity crew won't be funding their project with bottle returns from their kids school lunches.

As has been mentioned, Brian ("Mr. Deity") has written five great new episodes. But there will be more! Jimbo ("Larry") has asked me to still not mention the name(s) of the production partner(s), but you definitely would recognize said name(s).

So you know how many great episodes we've enjoyed so far?
You can expect that number to double.
Go ahead, get the tub size popcorn.

Mr. D drops "news bells" in our last comment thread.

I was about to thank faithful reader João from Spain with the scoop and then the Big D himself drops in to further tantalize we devotees.
V. cool,... more later. Right now on the East Coast it's nightime for yours truly...

Dog in Heaven Feels Our Pain

Hey, are we bored, depressed? Experiencing separation anxiety? We the faithful, in our patient awaiting for Mr. Deity's return, must try not to become pugnacious. If you have read the comments threads here you'll get the sense from "Larry", (Jimbo Marshall), that these guys, besides keeping their day jobs ARE making progress with a business deal. Lettuce pray. (PS Apologies for the delayed posting, I was out-of-commission for a while.)
In the meantime, those of the less faithful and questioning variety might be interesting in reading the Wikipedia entry on Meslier, a historic and startling philosopher on religion of sorts, who I recently learned about... inspired a particular cutting Voltaire quip. Cheers from Maine....and thanks for the great response to this blog's first poll!. Verrry interesting.
