Another assortment of Benjamins Schwartz doing what Benjamins Schwartz do:
- My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #1002
This one is a barrel of laughs, worth a click! - Fireball’s New Whisky Flavor Tastes Like Toasted Marshmallows and Vanilla
That Ben Schwartz is lending his comedic talents to marketing Fireball’s new Torch’d Vanilla flavor. One assumes Jean-Ralphio would approve of this career trajectory, though The Council has declined to comment.The Weezer Movie Just Got a Major Update
Back to that Ben, naturally. The Weezer biopic—which also features Keanu Reeves as a fictional version of himself, because of course—has assembled a cast that reads like a comedy festival lineup card. Weird Al will reportedly make an appearance, completing the circle of early-2000s internet nostalgia.
- LAPD killing of Trader Joe’s manager leads to murder conviction
“In his closing statements Monday, Los Angeles Deputy Distt. Atty. Ben Schwartz argued that if wasn’t for Atkins’ actions, Corado would still be alive…”
In a follow-up from the previous update, LA Deputy District Attorney Ben Schwartz secured a second-degree murder conviction in the retrial of a man whose actions led to a fatal police shooting at a Silver Lake Trader Joe’s in 2018. Less glamorous than voice acting or cartooning, considerably more consequential. - David Ellison’s Delusional Stab at Self-Justification
Criticism of media giants is a time-honored pastime of Bens Schwartz.
