Drumroll, please… It was the film and TV writing team of Michael Colton and John Aboud who organized the AMPTP.com parody. The two can be seen as panelists every week on VH1′s Best Week Ever and I Love the [insert decade]. In 2000, they co-founded Modern Humorist, a comedy collective that produced content for the Web, books, magazines, radio, stage, and screen. Together, they recruited one writer from The Office and one from The Daily Show to help do the site. The parody was not an official Guild production. It was a member action, the work of individuals with too much free time on their hands. Aboud’s and Colton’s joint website is ColtonAboud.com so the lawyers know where to send the nasty letters.

Which writer from The Office?
Also, that site is the most amazing thing. No surprise it’s the work of Colton and Aboud. I love the FAQ footnotes.
No surprise I love that site considering i love who is behind it!
Those two guys crack me up, it figures they would be behind that site.
Rock on guys!
TV Fan!
Not to be a downer, but there have been new eps of Best Week Ever since the strike started and these guys have appeared in them. They’re damn funny, I’m just saying…
I KNEW there was someone from either The Daily Show or The Colbert Report who had a hand in this. Well done, writers. Brilliant…
Wow, all Harvard guys. Even as a Yalie, I’ve got to tip my hat to them.
Anyone wish they’d devoted their time to something that will actually end this strike instead of just giving us a distraction?
