There is a difference in intention between the old film pieces and the digital shorts. The legacy short films were intended to give the live performers a break and to give young filmmakers like Albert Brooks and Tom Schiller a showcase for their type of humor. The Digital Shorts came with the rise of YouTube and they were intended to become viral and drive viewers to the live broadcast. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
