A YouTube video called “USI Gangnam Style” bombarded social networking websites earlier this month.

The video features USI’s mascot, Archie, and allows students to see a new Screaming Eagles Television (SETV) production, Mark-N-the Park.

The comedy show, Mark-N-the Park, features USI junior radio television major Mark Grose.

“I don’t even know how to describe it besides saying it’s like ‘Bill Nye the Science Guy,’ ‘Tosh.0’ and ‘Wayne’s World,’” Grose said.

Grose said he decides what he wants to do in the bi-weekly SETV show and then tells student director, Tyler McClure.

Grose said he comes up with each idea for Mark-N-the Park but does not have a favorite episode.

“I don’t have a favorite because each one has a really good part that I really like,” he said.

Grose approached McClure about doing a show during the summer, McClure said.

“I said I would gladly direct it if he wanted to follow through,” McClure said.

McClure said he hopes to pass 20,000 views for Mark-N-the Park on YouTube before the end of the semester.

With three weeks notched in its belt, Mark-N-the Park has passed more than 5,000 views on YouTube. “USI Gangnam Style” tops out almost 2,200.

McClure said he enjoyed the first episode, called “Pick Up Lines @ USI,” where Mark and a few other volunteers would approach strangers at USI and produce “terrible” pick-up lines – according to the YouTube description.

“I ran camera for that, and I was really happy at how we turned out and just the people’s reactions,” he said.

In another episode, titled “USI Interview: UE Attractive,” Grose goes undercover and asks University of Evansville students questions.

McClure said they did receive some negative comments.

“(We) brush it off and laugh about it,” he said. “And use a lot of sarcasm.”

McClure and Grose agreed to continue with Mark-N-the Park until they leave USI.

Access USI News Director, Producer and Head Anchor Kayla McCarthy said Mark-N-the Park is worth a watch.

“It’s something that reflects what students are thinking,” she said. “It’s not … news. It’s poking fun at things.”

She said she helps whenever she can with the show, and she thinks they are getting better as they move along.

“I know they put a lot of work into it every week, and that’s something very stressful,” she said. “There are a couple of nights where (Grose) is editing until 2 a.m.”

Grose does the majority of the editing himself, she said.

“(Mark-N-the Park is) fun, it’s upbeat, it’s a break in the more classic things students experience,” McCarthy said.
