''the show with zefrank'' was a web video show by Ze Frank produced each weekday from March 17, 2006 until March 17, 2007. The format of the program combined commentary on media and current events with viewer contributions and activities. It is considered one of the most influential series in the history of vlogging because of its pioneering nature and for inspiring many of the elements which now define the genre. It also inspired many of today's most popular vloggers, including the Vlogbrothers, Philip DeFranco and Wheezy Waiter. It was the subject of articles in ''Slate'',〔 ("How Ze Frank became a Web video star" ) by Michael Agger, 'Slate'', March 23, 2007〕 The New York Times,〔("And You're So Funny?

Topics ranged from serious socio-political commentary to absurdist comedy and running gags. One such gag was to open episodes with outlandish skits, followed by the question "Are the new viewers gone yet?" He also performed original songs to emphasize a point or concept. Thousands of photos, videos and music files were contributed by the audience, including over 1,000 photos in one 20-hour period.〔("First Ze Take Hollywood" ) by Spencer Morgan, ''New York Observer'', January 21, 2007〕 Viewer feedback from a previous show, a segment he called "S-s-s-somethin' from the comments," often served as a launching point to a new topic. One episode was scripted by thousands of viewers using a wiki.〔("And You're So Funny?
