TBS is teaming up with DumbDumb, the digital advertising production company founded by Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, along with Electus on an “industry-exclusive agreement” that kicks off with six short-form comedy videos for TBS.com. The videos will each feature a sponsor’s brand and include “the DumbDumb stable of comedic stars.” DumbDumb was created two years ago and has already made comedy videos for Orbit, Old Navy, and Denny’s.
“We are looking to innovate creatively together with our advertising partners and develop meaningful opportunities with multi-screen content that is smart, fresh and, in the case of TBS, extremely funny,” stated Donna Speciale, president of Turner Entertainment and Young Adults Ad Sales. “Our exclusive partnership with DumbDumb offers select advertisers that sought-after environment through a strategic, portable distribution plan across television, digital and social media outlets.”
“Will and I feel very lucky to be in business with such a supportive group,” said Jason Bateman. “We’re equally excited about the proximity to multiple post season ticket opportunities.”
“Jason Bateman and Will Arnett are two of the funniest and most creative guys in the industry,” said Laura Dames, Senior Vice President, Business Operations, Turner Entertainment Networks. “We are thrilled to pair their very funny, sponsor-driven videos with TBS’s reach and distribution to bring this content to our young, comedy-loving audience on TBS.com, as well as across TBS’s social network footprint.”

18 more chefs are prepared to be called donkeys by Chef Gordon Ramsey on season 10 of Hell’s Kitchen. Hell’s Kitchen premieres on Monday, June 4th on Fox, with 18 chefs going head-to-head for a chance to become the head chef at Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris Las Vegas. Ramsay’s asking this season’s chefs to shuck scallops, herd sheep, and create an All-American meal, among other tasks. As for what’s in store for the losing teams this year…well…two of the punishments involve chopping trees in the heat and drinking a liquefied version of their failed dishes. Gross.
