Working Out With Ben Crane & How It All Came Together

Yesterday afternoon, I saw a couple of allusions to the existence of a video featuring reforming slowbie Ben Crane in a workout video. This morning, I finally got a chance to watch it. Take a look.

It's a hilarious video - well put together, almost in the spirit of a Tosh.0 sketch. Crane with a helmet on could be a dead ringer for the comedian.

Honestly, I pegged Crane for a speed walker, or someone really into yoga. I had no clue he was so angry. (Serenity now!) But I suppose he was exposed to working out like the rest of us were: in the ball pit of a Chuckie Cheese.

UPDATE 2:01pm ET 10/15 - Steve Elling caught up with Ben Crane and his representation to get the backstory to the video. It was filmed in May and just kind of lingered for a few months before Crane's representation asked his sponsors if it was ok to release the video. He got two thumbs up, and the video is going viral.
