In the young life of the TrueNuff TV! (http://tv.truenuff.com) project, we have had many friends and allies. Those who have assisted us temporarily, and those who have come to be like addition members of our family. We recently lost one of these extended family members. You will be missed, Cranston's Beard.
Cranston's Beard (or "CB" for short) came to us early this year, at first only lurking around in the shadows of the evenings of hangover days, finally making his presence known - if only slightly - in the early spring. A late bloomer, he took some time to establish himself as not simply bad lighting or dirt or food of some kind.
An only child never joined by a mustache sibling, CB formed a strong relationship with Cranston, refusing even to be joined by a soul patch. CB would often come to Cranston's aid in arguments of various sorts by proving Cranston had "big boy hair too" and thus affirming his status as a kind of man.
In later months he would even appear in TrueNuff sketches, like C-Bomb (http://tv.truenuff.com/cbomb.php), Smash Co. (http://tv.truenuff.com/smashco.php), and the wildly popular Mac Spoofs (http://tv.truenuff.com/mac/). Can CB be given credit for the viral success of the advertisement parodies? Hard to say, but one thing is for sure - he contributed to the character of that annoying slacker hippie douche bag (the Mac character, not Cranston!)
This past weekend, while filming a series of new sketches, CB made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of TrueNuff TV! by taking his own life to clean up Cranston's character as "The Boss." While CB's contribution may only be recorded in history as an asterisk in the margin of an appendix of a limited edition supplemental (or perhaps a DVD commentary track) - we are surely all better off having lost him. Good riddance, you fucker! HAHAHAHA! I hope you're reincarnated as the short and curlies on a Vegas showgirl, being ripped out by the roots every month! HAHAHAHAHAAA!
He is survived by some nose hairs and a slight unibrow.
