Stephen Fung’s Directorial Return to Dot Com Pho
Posted by Stephen on
May 17, 2008
This week’s episode features the real truth behind John Chow’s disappearance, the Secret behind the Pho at Pho Lan, and Leo Chiang’s longest speaking part…ever! Other highlights include Greg Morgan and Ed Lau’s discussion on Midgets and Motorcycles. Sound good? Then check out Dot Com Pho: The John Chow Free Edition!
If you have any ideas for next week’s episode, please let me know. We can only be so retarded under our own power. Believe me, it is actually hard to be stupid 
haha…wicked video, love the editing and transitions/effects–way better than CHOW!
Best part…the Lab with Leo…CHIANG! At least with pho you’re not gonna get food poisoning like John will with lobster sashimi in Shanghai, hehe.
Don’t forget the lead in the dishes and the cardboard in the dumplings!
PS: What happened to you today?

Oh yes, the classic lead and cardboard…traditional flavors of Mainland China.
My fiancee’s brother and GF are in town for the weekend. I spent the afternoon at home…sick as a dog. Antibiotics are awesome to say the least…hey, at least I got to BBQ today!
But yeah, it woulda been cool if I had made it today to add to the dot com video!

Why do you guys pretend to have sponsors all the time?
I thought it’d be more obvious, but for the benefit of all, it’s really simple Marketing. Advertisers and sponsors want to know what they are getting. Sometimes it takes showing them exactly what they are missing out on. We do this to show advertisers the potential benefit of sponsoring one of our episodes. What they get is lots of views, a good chuckle and pages of comments about their products from potential buyers which is valuable for any company. We also do a great selling job by making people want to have these products too.
Now, technically, the sponsors that we’ve chosen haven’t actually sponsored the episode, but we didn’t pretend. They sponsored us individually. For example, I really did get that Western Digital MyBook II, I really did get that Corsair 32GB Survivor plus a whole lot of other stuff from them. Ed’s Macbook Pro fell out of the back of a truck etc. This adds value to our individual relationships with those companies as well because we’ve automatically added value to that relationship. One day, when we do want our Pho covered, it’s not a huge stretch to make it happen. Make sense?

Someone should really fix those trucks.
I dunno, looks like you’re just taking review hardware and making it look like you’re “getting free gifts” when really, you’re supposed to be reviewing it. But if you think this adds value to the eventual review, I guess that makes sense. You guys sure have a lot of JC readers fooled though, although that isn’t exactly hard to do
After just seeing the Seinfeld episode where he takes a lie detector test about watching Melrose Place, you guys need to hook Ed up to a lie detector as he is secretly loving the fact that 90210 is coming back on.
Oh we know he is

Sounds like I missed out. Don’t worry. I’ll be back in full force next week.
Next week, I think we’ll do some Tarantino action and put the end first and the middle in the beginning
Did anyone see my clip at the end of Ed talking about “Gang Bangs”? I’m surprised no one commented about it yet (end of the credits).
yes I saw that–I assumed it was just usuall dot com pho banter by Ed.
very sneaky of you!

I was trying to use it as insurance so that people would watch till the end like they did in The Simpsons and Iron Man.
I just noticed that Ed and Greg are wearing the exact same thing as they wore in the pilot episode
haha…you need to edit the video and add a side by side comparision…that would be EPIC

You guys went from a “Super sized” edition of Dot Com Pho last week to a “slimmed down” edition this week. So what was the official headcounts?
Love this week’s video, very well shot, directed, acted, edited, and produced! It was an epic directorial return!
Leo Chiang’s review of the Gadget of the week was superbly done!
