Daily Show Spoofs MTV’s Street Team

During Street Team orientation in January, my colleagues and I had full reign of Viacom’s downtown Manhattan building. On our way to seminars and meals, I’m sure we shared elevators with writers, producers and execs who all thought the same thing. “Who are these kids?” and “WTF are they doing here?”

This week The Daily Show correspondent, Demetri Martin, aired a segment called Trendspotting. In it, he talked about the young vote. Around the 3:30 mark, he busts into a music video with Las Vegas lights flashing “Street Team ‘08″ and breaks into new territory, spoofing MTV’s Street Team with his cast of colleagues.

Here is a link to the Daily Show clip.  

 

One of my Street Team colleagues made an observation on a about the segment on our internal gchat group thread.”Dude, that writer probably rode with us in the elevator during our orientation.”Dude,” I thought, he’s totally right.

    What up, dude? See, drop the S, it’s a little more cazh.

    I don’t know why I let that video get under my skin; I had just pulled a most-nighter working on a big research presentation so was probably still a little brainfried. And maybe if I wasn’t feeling so much angst about the real Street Team, I’d be more able to laugh about it.
