Q: What the @!$% is "Trouser Shock?"
A: Why, Trouser Shock is a comedy group that produces shorts and the occasional live show.

Q: Any particular reason for that dumb-ass name?
A: Well... my mother gave it to me, but I’ve been thinking of changing it...

Q: Who is who? You dummies all look the same.
A: Here's a handy guide...
Jim is the obsessive-compulsive religious nutjob.
John is the ill-tempered vulgarian who says wildly inappropriate things.
Tom is the uber-geek who can dance a mean jig.
Brian is the card sharp born without a soul.
Paul, of course, is the King of TV.

Q: What’s so "passive-aggressive" about your comedy?
A: We don’t know. What do YOU think is passive-aggressive about our comedy?

Q: Your group is stupid.
A: That’s not a question.

Q: Yeah, no question, your group is stupid.
A: Who are you?

Q: I’ll ask the questions here.
A: Uh... okay.

Q: Fine, so what do you expect me to do to support your little "comedy group?"
A: Watch our videos! Tell everyone you know! Act now, supplies are running out!

Q: Anything you’d like to add?
A: I... I love you.

Q: That’s just wrong.
A: If loving you is wrong, then I don’t ever want to be right.
