Facejacker character Brian Badonde launches webisodes
Microsoft search engine Bing is publishing a series of webisodes featuring Facejacker star Kayvan Novak in character as charlatan art critic Brian Badonde.
'The Art Of Technology' web series follows the same format as Novak's Channel 4 sketch show - Novak, in character as his clueless art and history expert with a speech impediment, interviews experts under the guise of filming a documentary series for TV. The experts are not aware they're actually part of a comedy show, and the camera watches their reactions to Novak's eccentric character.
This is Bing's description of the show: "In his quest to find out more about the 'binternet' and today's latest technology, charlatan art critic Briain Badonde travels across the globe to learn more. What will the Facejacker favourite unearth in his voyage into the unknown?"
The first two webisodes are already available to view at www.TheArtOfTechnology.co.uk, with more due to be published later.
Speaking in character, the star says: "Filming the Bart of Bechnology was in many ways a biritual journey for me. Never before have so many people so generously allowed me to binkle with bechnology with such freedom of bexpression. I hope my fans, bart critics and bart lovers from around the world will join together, in one bollective bonsciousness to bembrace the new series and that it helps them see the true beauty that blies at the very beart of bechnology."
Here is a short teaser trailer for the series...
Facejacker is set to return to Channel 4 later in 2011 for a second series.
