So Cracked mainstay Mike Swaim, whose crew did the internet party video that approached 10,000 diggs and helped make Cracked famous (as well as the video game sketch linked below), have entered a YouTube competition called the Sketchies, where they take videos of sketch comedy and the winner gets like $50,000.

So Swaim and his crew (called Those Aren’t Muskets!) entered a video and wound up as one of the ten finalists among all the millions of videos that were entered. So that’s really cool.

But now they’re in the next round, and they need your vote.

The page is below, Youtube randomizes the videos so no one gets an advantage, but next to the video window you’ll see a link for “Next Video” and that will let you scroll through them. The TAM! video is a fake trailer for a movie called CHOPS!

Find it here.

So if you liked it and/or want to help out Swaim and Cracked (as we will almost certainly claim credit for any success he has from here on out) find his video on there and give it a vote.

Another way you can help is by Digging it and sending more traffic its way.

This way, once Swaim becomes famous he’ll owe all of us favors and we’ll be able to crash by his pool when we all move out to LA.

By the way, if you’re wondering what video they made was so awesome as to put them in the top ten among the whole universe of video submissions at YouTube in the first place, behold.
