Here is the latest Mode After Hours (the Ugly Betty webisode starring Michael Urie and Becki Newton).  This one is entitled “Behind The Scenes #3. (Unfortunately, it’s most likely restricted outside the US

Michael and Becki celebrate making it to 20 webisodes (not too humbly, either.  )
Director Richard Heus sings their praises.
Also, Mark Worthington, who says that 80% of what the final product is comes from Michael and Becki’s ideas.
Michael and Becki recount the Wedding Episode, where MIchael had to catch a garter on his tongue (hilarious!)
Heus says that they need to use Becki and Michael’s …read more

Here is the latest Mode After Hours, the webisodes of Marc and Amanda from Ugly Betty.  This one is entitled Stress-Orcism.

 
This one is mostly Marc and Mandy physical humor, but gives great clues where Amanda’s storyline is headed.
It starts with Amanda putting the final touches on an outfit on Marc (complete with butt grab).  Marc thinks the outfit is too plain, but Amanda says he looks good.  Amanda says he’s stressed.
She then starts to show him the relaxation program she’s designed to increase productivity at Mode.  Then she proceeds to almost kill Marc.
She first has both of them put on …read more

Here is the 3rd installment of this season’s Ugly Betty webisode, Mode After Hours.

This one is entitles “A Vlog To Remember”.  It looks like the “war” with Meade security is going to be a theme for a while – this one takes the conflict head on.  They even give the person behind the camera a name: Zander.
It looks like the security guard has been posting the most embarrassing antics of  Marc and Amanda on the internet.  (We then see some of last season’s greatest hits in black and white).
Marc and Mandy decide to post a rebuttal.  They introduce themselves, then …read more

Here is the latest Ugly Betty’s Mode After Hours (Harassment of a Sexual nature).  We have seen a preview of the webisode, but this is the whole thing.
IMO, this one could be the best ever.  Both Michael Urie and Becki Newton are on top of their game here, camping it up in the most ridiculous situations.
Here’s the setup: someone has anonymously filed a sexual harassment claim against Mode, so the staff is having to stay late and fill out a sensitivity questionnaire.  Marc and Amanda are both bored with the whole thing, so they spice things up by …read more

Our friend Ausiello at EW.com has a sneak peek of the second episode of the Ugly Betty webisode Mode After Hours.  Go here to check it out.
(Of course, since Ausiello has an exclusive on this, it’s not embeddable.  Dang, first Ausiello turns me down on a bro-date, then he won’t return my calls, then he won’t let me embed his exclusive Ugly Betty video – life is tough.  Just kidding.  I made the bro-date part up.  Although I’m sure it would be fun. )
Anyway, this video kind of shows you what they mean when the actors and …read more

The latest Mode After Hours (the wonderful short-form webisodes starring Michael Urie and Becki Newton that are tiding us over until Ugly Betty comes back from hiatus May 7) is out, and it’s entitled “Breaking the Band”.

 
This one is probably the best one yet.  Urie and Newton use a Karaoke contest to do what they do best: over-the-top vamping.  On Twitter, Michael Urie says he’s doing his best Adam Lambert impression, but to me he looks like the lead singer from The Call back in the 80’s.  Or maybe that too-pretty-to-be-true guy from Aha.
Anyway, the Marc and Amanda are …read more

Here’s the latest installment of the Ugly Betty time-passer, Mode After Hours.  This week’s episode is entitled Roller Girlz.
 

Amanda is worried, because she gained two pounds, and men “don’t even notice her” anymore.  As Marc says, unlike Betty, she’s mean (and fat) which is a bad combination. 
Marc suggests she get some exercise by roller skating.  Apparently, skating is one of Marc’s obsessions.  Not only that, but Mode Magazine had recently declared that roller skating is the new pilates.
Then, things get slapstick.  Amanda cannot stand on Marc’s skates.  Then, Marc dangles a chocolate bunny – hanging from a sting attached …read more

Here is the latest installment of the Ugly Betty webisodes, Mode After Hours (starring Michael Urie and Becki Newton).  This week’s episode is entitled “April Fools”.

This one starts out with Amanda’s hunger (which seems to be a theme with Marc and Amanda lately). Marc decides to help morale around Mode by playing April Fool’s pranks on Betty!
Amanda presents her idea first. She will put on a mask and pretend to be a Chupacabra, and jump out at Betty from under her desk. When demonstrating this, Amanda hits her head on the desk pretty hard.
Marc then reveals that …read more

With Ugly Betty taking a rest till May, ABC is being nice enough to keep us fans busy with extra content, such as Mode After Hours, the “webisodes” at ABC.com featuring Michael Urie and Becki Newton as Marc and Amanda.  Here is the latest installment:
 

This one is not only entertaining, it actually builds on current storylines.  It starts with Marc bringing in a “big package” for Wilhelmina, which turns out to be boxing gloves, a gift from Connor to his fellow “fighter”. 
In the course of talking about this, Amanda reveals that she randomly keeps delivered packages for herself, no …read more

Here is the latest installment of Mode After Hours, ABC’s web supplement to Ugly Betty. It’s titled “The Seance”, and it may be be best one yet.

Amanda and Marc hold a seance to contact Fey Sommers, in hopes of finding out the identity of Amanda’s birth father (and to eat pizza).
This one has all kinds of sight gags (the genie hats, the wigs, the handcuffs), along with that hilarious thing the pair do when Newton sings soprano and Urie sings baritone, creating “spooky” music.
Marc still has a wandering eye, it would seem, so Cliff had better …read more
