Black's website indicates that his stage name "brentalfloss" is always intentionally spelled with lower-case letters.[12] Black also appears as one of the principal actors in the web seriesMy Life as a Video Game in the role of Menu, a supercomputerA.I.[13]
Beyond YouTubeedit
Black has also released studio albums. His first CD, What If This CD... Had Lyrics? was released in the Spring of 2010.[14] It contains re-recorded and re-mastered versions of every song of his "With Lyrics" series that was released at that time, plus additional CD-exclusive songs. It features fellow video game bands The Megas and The Konami Kode, with tracks peaking in the top 100 on iTunes comedy charts worldwide.[15] He has also released a G-Rated and instrumental version of the album. In early 2011, he released The Super-Secret EP under the pseudonym "DJ Super Secret", which was revealed to members of his mailing list first, and was released to public afterwards. Black later set up a fundraising page on his site to try to garner funds for a second CD, which reached its goal of $4000. The CD was completed in March 2012, but was unable to be released until June 2012 due to printing errors. He released digital downloads for Bits of Me on June 8, 2012. In February 2014, Black released his third studio album, Flossophy.
Black formerly produced a brentalfloss webcomic series as well, running from 2012 to 2013 and concluding after its 200th entry.
From 2015 to 2020, Black co-hosted a podcast on Maximum Fun, titled "Trends Like These", in which he, his former college roommate Travis McElroy, and journalist Courtney Enlow discussed topics and issues trending on social media websites. In July 2019, he began a podcast with Kate Sloan called Question Box.
From 2015 to release in 2017, he designed, produced and launched a video game titled Use Your Words alongside veteran game developer Julian Spillane, who pitched the game as "a party game for funny people and their unfunny friends.".[16][17]
In 2019 announced he is producing the soundtrack for a multi-platform cat-themed adventure platform game titled A Purrtato Tail, set to release in 2023.[18]
