Living with Lenny was originally the sequel to Chronic Hallucinations. The original was also created in college by Dan. Originally, Lenny was an animated character but for the revisioning of the story, it seemed more appropriate to have Lenny as an actual person. Storywise, let's just say Lenny is literally a roommate from hell.

Note: The original Life with Lenny can be viewed at our website by scrolling down to the very bottom of our homepage. Dan hid it down there just for giggles.

btw....since this is an ongoing series, there are jokes delivered that probably wouldn't be understood without havign watched the previous ones. So, if something seems confusing (i.e. the airsoft joke at the end) you may want to start with hal part 1. Part 1 is all improv and dialogue driven; some liked it, some don't. Part two is where things start picking up, so don't get discouraged if you didn't like the first one. Thanks for watching!

alright, im oficially a fan of this series. I think the dialogue and chemistry between the two main characters is great. This episode started out great, but around half way through it felt a bit much. brushing your teeth with crap, as well as taking craps on the carpet were a bit over the top. I did love the shooting of the cat, and many other gags as well. If some material was cut from this episode, I would have probably given it a 5, but some stuff that was in it just told me to give it a 4. still excellent, as this is the 3rd 4 ive given in the series, and I haven't even seen epsiode 4 yet, and I am excited to get on that. keep up the 4 work.

Funny stuff. Having people that can act a little really makes an FXHome experience more enjoyable. I enjoyed the writing. The audio screams "Recorded with an onboard mic" but that's a tough nut to crack what with needing decent, expensive, mics and a reliable boom man. How did you do the devil makeup?

Well, the horns and bald cap were just your standard latex accessories picked up at a local costume shop. The blue paint was actually a blue hair spray that we used and seemed to work great and wash right off. And yes, the audio was on-boad camera mics. We do have a shotgun mic now with a minidisc recorder. Future projects should sound much better. Thanks!
