New Youk, NY (PRWEB) November 2, 2008 -- The wild, zany world of ManicAttack.com is finally upon us. Manic Attack is a brand new website that started with a bunch of crazy artists who got together and decided to create a vast, manic universe of comedy. Through improvisation and crafting of story lines, we've thrown together a character-driven site where the audience decides where these misguided humans travel on their journey.

Manic Attack offers streaming HD Video commercial spoofs, music videos, Manic Attack's 'Own World' of Sports and also a category that is so far out of this world that we even have to say "What the F?"

In addition, Manic Attack has a whole channel of webisodes, that is to say multiple video web serials with new episodes every week. These are characters that have gone on a journey that is documented on Manic Attack.com. Some characters include The Speed Creeper a.k.a. Alan Benderhoven who sells life insurance, has an alcoholic wife, and whose only friend is his mother. Sound depressing? Well it's not! It's hilarious. With Olympic dreams and a pair of track shoes, he's Speed Walking his way to the promised land: Helsinki for the Speed Walking World Championships. There's the Greensteens! This couple is trying to reduce the carbon footprint of the entire human race through various, drastic measures of conservation. And, Mommy Menthol, which follows the antics of a suburban housewife and her two children as she tries to get them ready for school, handle the morning chores. Good thing Mommy has an endless supply of menthols. Now all she needs is a nice man.

On Manic Attack's Pilots Page there's a collection of characters that have started a journey, but their fate is up to the viewer/user. So if you want to see Katie the Coked Up Waitress wait tables at an insanely fast pace… Or, If you want to see more episodes of The Adventures of Super Man-Thong (log on for an explanation) … Or, maybe you'd like to see what kind of trouble the over-privileged Cody Splendor, Brandon Mavis and London Marriott can get into with their endless trust funds and wild streaks. Then all you have to do is: Long on to Manic Attack, Become a Manic Attack member. Then leave a comment after watching and rating the video.

Tommy Walsh and Christopher Burke founded Manic Attack Pictures, both born and raised in New Jersey. Manic Attack Pictures was formed in 2007, a phoenix rising from Walsh and Burke's former production company Seven Bridges Productions which brought the highly critically acclaimed feature length film Shooting Johnson Roebling which premiered at the 2007 Hoboken Film Festival. But, unlike Seven Bridges, Manic Attack focuses on short sketch comedies between three and six minutes long. Drawing from a pool of untapped talent from the New York comedy troupes and method acting schools. This mixture of realism and improvisation make for a dynamic in entertainment and social criticism that has the feel of a cross between the Group Theater and early Saturday Night Live. The grassroots effort means on any day a member could go from being the star of that days shoot to being the truck driver for the equipment for the next days shoot.
