Well, dear blog peeps. I think it’s clear we love you. We post here and you read and enjoy and share in the love. That’s a much more fulfilling experience than dealing with trolls on youtube.
That said, here’s our new youtube video. Posting here to give YOU, the diehard friend and fan some inside scoop on the video and such.
So, here’s the video followed by a little self-Q&A:
WHY IS THERE A TITLE OVER THE TITLE LIKE IN A FOREIGN MOVIE?
Because I want people to think it’s been censored or that it is foreign or, basically, to mess with people.
WHERE DID YOU FILM IT?
Los Angeles, the former estate of Eric Curtis and the back alley of my girlfriend’s crib.
HOW DID YOU DO THOSE SPECIAL EFFECTS?
Just like the MC Outdoorz stuff, photoshop and final cut. In one instance, a water bottle was utilized.
DOES PONCE REALLY LOOK AT PORN?
Does the Pope shit in the woods when his mom isn’t there to hear his log fall?
HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEA?
End of the world approaching, my friend had a, apocalypse themed film festival at his place, I like puns. Ponce can take a simple idea and make it hilarious. Add those things together and viola! Or whatever favorite stringed instrument you want to say at the end of that sentence.
END LIL’ Q&A
Feel free to ask your own questions. Or if someone knows how to set up on of those REDDIT Q&A’s we’d do that too. Add us on Google plus and we might do a hangout too. All links on out youtube page.
Ponceman starred in the dramatic short film Wunderkammer and it went to Sundance in 2009. Ponce and SAP went to the festival and made a multi-part-mini-doc out of the experience called Ponceman Goes to Sundance.
Ponce is very proud of this film and his performance. You can watch Wunderkammer online now. Enjoy, and please leave a comment.
SAP here…. We’ve kinda taken to doing something special for Xmas. For those of you who are unaware of this little Perry brother nugget o’ coolness, you can check out some of our past Xmas music videos with a simple click on the title of your viewing choice….Have a Sexy Ponceman Xmas or Funky Xmas Song Ho Ho Ho
So, this year a lil’ pun landed in my brain and mulled around, crawlin’, creepin’ and doing things to me in my sleep until I cranked it out and made it a living groove that everyone can enjoy.
Recorded it Friday, Dirty Jenny through her guitar madness on in, shot the music video Saturday, edited and mixed it on Sunday…. that’s right, Christmas day. And now it’s on the YouTubes for you to enjoy and pass on to your friends and family. Ponce wiggles his groove thang n it and our niece Mya makes her 2nd appearance in a video. Other niece, Kaylyn the old one, boogies too. And of course our Mother and father (a.k.a. Mexicans from Retarded Policeman 10) are movin’ and shakin’ it as well.
Enjoy, pass it on, we hope it brightens your world.
I just wanna say I love Father’s Day because I love my father. He is the sweetest man just like I said in my song about him. He used to be an old crank but he’s nice now and he really makes me laugh. My favorite thing about Father’s Day is to call him and say Happy Father’s Day. And I sing to him and torture him a little and he loves it because he loves his Ponce. I love having a good family and getting along and I hate to fight but sometimes we all drive each other crazy. But that’s okay. We get past it all.
Bro wanted to do a new Father’s Day song and I wanted to do one too so he wrote one and I wrote mine and then we did them and sent them to Dirty Jenny and she played the guitar on them. She rocks ass.
So here they are and I hope you love them. Love my father.
SAP here…
It is odd that I find myself posting a 3rd video we made for our father. 4th if you count the remix we did last year. Odd because I never would have believed our family would be this close if you asked me 20 years ago. In short, my father and I did not get along my entire childhood. Most people who go through what we went through growing up would probably hit the road at 18 and never speak to each other again.
This was not the case with my family. Why? Not really sure. I think the one thing I can point too that changed things was not keeping things buried inside. When I realized I had no real reason to ever speak to my father again I decided to let him know, and to let him know why. Shockingly, he apologized and told me why he was the way he was when I was growing up. It all slowly trickled down from there. Apologies, conversations, getting to know each other… never would have happened had I not spoken up. I think facing things head on is the one of the hardest things to do for many people in this life. Sadly, I know that a lot of the time, honesty is met with deaf ears. However, that doesn’t change the face that if you never speak out then the person you have an issue with would never have a chance to step up and deal with the situation. They might not even have a clue that they have done something that has affected you. sometimes people are truly oblivious to the affect they have on others.
So, my Father’s Day message is simply to talk to each other. I know too many friends who haven’t spoken to their parents since they left home. They never talked to them about why they decided to end relations with them. And so much time has passed at this point that I totally understand why it is just too daunting of an issue to dig up and try to resolve.
I count myself lucky to have the relationship I do with my father. And I love you, Father. For reals.
Here are you two new Father’s Day songs from your two boys. And the original one we made for you too… the one with the special cameo at the end by Sistah.
I just wanna say the hand-face guy was a real asshole and he kinda freaked me out a little. I didn’t understand what was going on and he kept asking me “Is that your brother? Is that your brother?” and he was really weird. I’m okay and he didn’t ruin my birthday but it was really weird while he was there. I don’t understand sometimes when people act like that but bro takes care of me and he’s got my back and I got his back. Bros before Hos and we take care of each other so to the people out there, rock on and peace out.

SAP here…
For those who don’t know, some guy injected himself into our lives on Ponce’s birthday and it was one of the more annoying interactions we’ve had with a stranger stepping in to… well, that’s just it. None of us who were there actually know what he was really trying to do.
I’ll just go bounce a few thoughts off of this comment DontEatTheFish73 made on the video.
DontEatTheFish73 i hate to defend this guy, but i can kind of see his concern. down syndrome is a disability which has a different severity for each individual, so not knowing who ponce is and how it affects him, i think this guy was just expressing concern because he didn’t want to see ponce harassed for it. granted this guy probably took it too far, and wasn’t very intelligent about it, i think his intentions were good. he definitely could have handled it better and minded his own business though.
I gotta say, with all the conviction in my heart, that I wish I could understand where Hand-Face was coming from. I tried to edit it so you could see the build up, but there was no buildup. It was me and Ponce being filmed by Windsock looking at all his birthday gifts and reflecting on his surprise party. Then the guy jumps into our world with a very nasty “STOP IT!” directed at me. I CAN understand TRYING to understand this guys motivation here. But when I go over the night and the way he was, the way he kept asking Ponce if I was his brother, the only answer I have is this was a sad, pathetic person who wants to feel good about himself. The comment above states “down syndrome is a disability which has a different severity for each individual…” and this is true. Just like there are different levels of assholes in the world. I think Hand-face is not one of the extreme asshole types, but rather that secret asshole… the one that would fuck your girlfriend if she was passed out drunk and then blame it on the booze if someone found out about it. Like, “We were both drunk… it just happened,” when the full reality of the situation is that the secret asshole may have been drunk but he still had sex with someone who was passed out.” That’s the kinda guy I think the real face behind the hand-face is.
That said, I move on to this part of the above comment, “not knowing who ponce is and how it (Down Syndrome) affects him, i think this guy was just expressing concern because he didn’t want to see ponce harassed for it…” Again, I gotta go with a sad, pathetic person angle here. If he paid attention to anything that Ponce and I were talking about, if he had bothered to LISTEN to what we were discussing, any concern he had would have been quelled. We were talking about how cool his gifts were. Talking about his signed autograph from his favorite actor John Travolta. We were hugging, pounding fists, showing affection when HF decided to step in and shout “STOP IT!” to a total stranger. Explain to me how someone who is concerned for a person who has Down Syndrome, someone who mentors people with Downs as he claimed, deals with his concern by yelling this way, totally freaking out the guy he is supposedly concerned about. He had NO REASON to be concerned. When I confronted him face to hand-face he couldn’t give me one reason why he was concerned. He couldn’t explain what the “it” was in his “Stop it!” demand. And honestly, his later saying his reason was because I was “making fun of him… (awkward pause)… or SOMETHING” kinda says it all. The guy was just throwing shit out there to see what stuck.
He was talking to two girls and most likely trying to look like a hero to them by stepping in to save the poor defenseless guy with Downs from the terrible guy standing next to him. You know, the guy who was just hugging the poor little Downs guy, the guy that was exchanging phrases like “How cool is that gift,” and “Love my bro” back and forth with him. Notice that hand-face had NO friends with him and he left alone.
I am not in any way upset about the above comment from DontEatTheFish73. In fact, It helps make the point I want to make. Discussion is the way we learn, the way we discover new ideas and understand things in this life better. This guy had ZERO interest in discussing anything. He didn’t even have a point. Not one single point. And when the word “RETARDED” came up he used it as an excuse to get out of there as fast as he could. He came back because I called him out on this. He immediately fled again when he realized he had nothing to add, nothing to defend his non existent point with other than falling back on the base “You People” angle… his offense at a word that wasn’t even used in the context he chose to react to.
I asked him “Have you seen Retarded Policeman?” and his response was to… pause, realize there is something here he can latch onto that is familiar to him like taking the blanket view that a word has only one meaning and then saying “Retarded, you’re calling it retarded!?!” then walking away, flipping me off and telling me to fuck off. Let’s just look at his words for a second…
“Retarded, you’re calling it retarded!?!”
What is “it” exactly? Calling “it” retarded. If he is referring to Ponce here, he’s a dickhead. If he is saying I am saying that Retarded means Down Syndrome he’s way off base. I asked if he had seen “Retarded Policeman.” At this point he either knows or doesn’t know what I am talking about. If he knows the series, then his phrase “calling it retarded” doesn’t stand up because it IS called the Retarded Policeman. If he has not seen the series, he has no idea what I am talking about. Am I talking about an actual policeman? A movie? A book? A painting? He never asked one question about what the Retarded Policeman was in reference to. He just played the take offense card and ran away. It was the only thing he had left.
And that’s all I have left on this issue. For now.
I want to thank DontEatTheFish73 for trying to understand where the hand-face was coming from and voicing his thoughts. It helped me to voice mine. I wish more people would talk about things, especially things that make them uncomfortable, so we could all figure out a way to move past them… If we did that, I think we would all get along better with everyone we meet.
There’s a thing that Ponce and I refer to as H.U.T.A.S. or Head Up The Ass Syndrome. Billions of humans are affected by this syndrome. Ponce and I occasionally suffer through little bouts with it ourselves. Why do I bring this affliction up now?
I gots the RATINGS system on my mind. Our Hey Bro Am I a Documentary Filmmaker video got flagged on YouTube. Now you have to be 18 years old to watch it. Which makes me think of one thing AMERICA has to do if we ever want to be… in the words of Ponceman… really cool. Pull the 2 mile prude-stick out of it’s ass and burn it to cinders. Sing it with me to the Elvis Presley tune Return to Sender… BURN IT TO CINDERS — BURN IT TO CINDERS.
I’ll try to make my point as simple and honest as possible. There is a problem with the Ratings system. G, PG, R, NC-17, X, XXX, TVMA, TVPG and so on and so forth are all stupid fucking wastes of time.
There needs to be ONE and only ONE rating for everything in this life. Are you ready for it?
PG
It stands for Parental Guidance. It’s a simple concept that got bastardized and convoluted because somebody decided we needed an organization to decide what people can watch at a certain age in their lives. CHRONOLOGICAL AGE. This system is moronic and only exists to aid in the dumbing down and making lazy of the American People.
Having a brother with Down Syndrome has definitely given me some insight on issues like these. Ponce is an amazing human. Ponce has a great sense of humor, he’s pretty swift in picking up on people’s bullshit, and he has an amazing encyclopedic knowledge of movies, actors, and film in general. The thing to always remember with Ponce is… he has Down Syndrome. This is easy to forget because of all the things I just mentioned. His CHRONOLOGICAL AGE is 31. However his actual age, mentally, is all over the place depending on the time of day and how much coffee he’s had. Sometimes he’s 13, sometimes he’s 5, sometimes he’s 86. And this will always be the case with him. He has down Syndrome, it’s something that will stay with him forever because it is genetic.
There are a ton of ADULTS in the world that do NOT have Down Syndrome, but are mentally 2. The ones who suffer from H.U.T.A.S., and unlike Down Syndrome, H.U.T.A.S is learned behavior. It’s reinforced by a devotion to not asking questions, swallowing whatever people feed you, and just plain laziness. You know the H.U.T.A.S. sufferers. You see them in bars, on the streets, giving you customer support for your internet service from some idiot pit where they all hang out and eat Twinkies. The world is full of these people. I saw one of them a few weeks ago stumble out of a bar, fall to the ground, crawl across the sidewalk. and then roll around on the ground for over 30 minutes as he tried to unlock his bicycle. I shit you not, over 30 minutes to unlock his fucking bike. Then he hopped on it, drove 20 feet, and slammed into the back of a pickup truck. Then he hopped back on the bike and rode out into traffic. I tried to stop him but apparently the booze or the ramming headfirst into the truck also made him deaf. I think it’s safe to say that if he did not make it home safe it was just natural selection taking care of some loose ends.
PG Parental Guidance is the only rating there should be… for everything! Want to control what your kids are watching? Watch it first. Ask a friend. Do some research. Then decide. PARENT the kids. Same goes for music, food, sex… okay. I am not saying have sex with someone your kid wants to bang so you can approve the activity. It’s the GUIDANCE part. Talk to them about it. You’ve had sex. You know about the assholes and twat-rockets that exist out there, so pass on the info to Junior. Meet who the kids hang out with. If Parents talk to their kids enough about this life crap the kids will be able to pick up on other people’s bullshit on their own.
And yes, no matter what you do you’re gonna get burned sometimes. Maybe the kid will see a movie with the F-word in it. News flash, people say the F-word every fucking day. They get fucked over by people everyday. They eat food that is slowly killing them every day. Just let the kids know what the hell is going on out their so if they do get a McDonald’s induced heart failure from the genetic mutation known as the McRib they at least knew it was coming.
Give them the info and one day, when the kid finally sees the original Karate Kid movie, they can look up at you and say, “You were right mom/dad. That new Karate Kid movie is just a big pile of shit compared to the one with then teen darling Ralph Macchio and the OG Mr. MiYagi Pat Morita. Thanks for warning me about the bullshit that exists in this world and encouraging me to question the things people feed me as facts and to learn to research things on my own. Your PARENTAL GUIDANCE is the best gift you could have ever given me. Now if you’ll excuse me, there’s a double bacon cheeseburger from Micky D’s and a dirty slut from Math class waiting to bang me on the playground where the older school kids sell drugs to 4th graders.”
It’s true! YOU, if you are the right fit for Ponce, can win a date with him, he, the one, the man, the Ponceman.
So why are we doing this online, win a date, with a guy that is totally awesome? The simple answer is… Ponce has Down Syndrome and meeting chicks who are down with the Downs is not an easy task.
Sure, we could get a professional, a prostitute, a hooker if you will. But I’m an old fashioned guy in the opposite sense of most old fashioned guys. I would rather pimp my bro out to try and find a needle in a haystack female that might be out there who is really into Ponce than find a pimp and have him lose his sweet virgin cherry to someone who you could park a Tonka truck in.
Ponce really does want romance, love, a girlfriend. He also wants to lose his virginity and those two sides don’t always get along. Sometimes he’s like, “Let’s go to Vegas. This virginity’s killin’ me, bro!” Other times are more, “I wanna go on a real date and hold hands and makeout.” Another angle to the dilemma here is… if we go the professional route there will be no making out. No other “specialized” activities Ponce is dying to try. Because it’s not a smart decision health-wise, and otherwise it’s just plain gross.So, the real date route would actually give him what he really wants more than just sex… makeout embrace romance.
Honestly, I think Ponce would be happy to just roll around naked with a girl and laugh and kiss and just giggle about the fact that they were naked. He has the sweetest heart on the planet. I haven’t run into ALL of them, but I would bet the existence of mankind that in a face-off with all the hearts on the planet Ponce would definitely be in the top 3 sweetest.
So, of course, big brother wants his little bro to be happy, to get everything his heart desires, and to always be happy. When sex enters a humans life path, all those things get screwed up. Yes, I have had a lot of sour experiences with the opposite sex. Yes, I am very jaded and lean towards the non-optimistic side of things when it comes to romantic entanglements. You’d think that would make biting the hooker bullet a lot easier. It actually has the opposite effect on me. Maybe it’s my own way of keeping the hopeless romantic that used to live inside me alive. The standard living vicariously through someone else ploy. Whatever the reason, Ponce still has innocence, romance, and love coursing through his veins. So, That’s why I want to do everything I can to help him find someone outside the “lady of the night” realm and more like the “cute girl you meet in a library” realm.
YouTube, is NOT a library. There are a ton of nasty little pricks and just plain mean people out there who hide behind anonymous comments filled with the sour devil-pus feelings they have for themselves. But there are also an overwhelming amount of cool, everyday, girl you do meet in a library kind of people on YouTube as well. And they do outnumber the nasties 10 to 1.
So, if you know someone you think would like a nice dinner and a movie with the Ponceman, or you just want to show your support, please make us a video, leave us a comment, let us know you’re out there and you got our backs.
It’s the show they wouldn’t let you see. Who’s they? The man, the devil, the ones that protect their investment by keeping smart, daring, controversial humor off the TV and substitute it with the dumb, safe stuff. Who loses. Everybody.
TV networks have been bitching a lot lately that they just can’t get the ratings they did in the 80s and 90s because there are too many other distractions out there on the internet. Well, we say it’s because they mostly show crap! The Politically Correct world has made things suck ass for our entertainment world.
So, to keep themselves safe, they don’t air anything a consumer might be offended by, like “Hey Bro”. Even though Ponce is always the hero, always in control, and… honestly… if anyone can watch these shows and actually think Ponce is unaware of what he is doing, then the anyone in question is the one with the learning disability.
That said, we give you episode one of “Hey Bro”… Am I a Jew?
Ever feel like the whole internet world is against you... outside the U.S.
