On the rare occasion that Andy isn't busier than the busiest of bees, we like to have him back for a video. And for some reason, he keeps coming.
He seems incapable of playing anyone under the age of 40. Luckily, he's amazing at it. Morgan says he's far too overqualified to be invovled with us.
Of course, Andy's far too modest to agree.

Anyway, I quite enjoy this one. Classic comedy of progression methinks.

I don't know. You?

I am still laughing. That was just... hilarious. Awesome. Amazing. Andy-worthy. I am lost for words. I'll go back to laughing again.

Absotively posolutely brilliant! I loved it

*throws money at Andy*

I'm pretty sure you only need to go through that if your net income is over 10k or so...

but then again he had a digital camera and stuff

And yes, I verify a the laughter of a certain beautiful previous poster (and no, not you Graham)

You guys have truly outdone yourselves yet again!

Brilliant, Hilarious, all the things everyone else has said.

My favorite part however, was Andy's card being rejected for $.27

This is shaping up to be the best season yet.

Amazing, Funny, Clever, Well Made, and all that jazz. But I have a question. Was that a real credit card number? Cuz I hope not.

Wow! That was great guys!! Andy was just FANTASTIC!!

I keep thinking 'oh, this week;s can't possibly be as good as last week's' but in this case I enjoy being consistently wrong!

Hey, I'm old for my age.

Excellent editing, G!
Very sharp.

Funny, I didn't think I did all that grunting and groaning.
I make it sound like looking for my wallet is an extremely labourious task.

I think it turned out very well!
Thanks to everyone for their complements!

Thanks to Morgan and Kathleen for their work as well.

Ah yes the mean streets of Oak Bay. Isn't that building's colour awful?

About the only thing you missed was issuing a tax receipt. But then no money changed hands.

Do you think any one would not look over forty if they went about dressed in a hat and a suite speaking in a British accent? I agree, no insult to anyone at LRR, that Andrew is on another level.

Armand · Postby **Armand** » 31 Dec 2005, 00:52

One of my favorites so far this season, very smart. And it's always great to see Andy make it in for an appearance.

Sounds more..Scotish to me? (Scottish*?)..

ANyways, great video, I laughed at a couple parts, the credit card being rejected for .27 cents was great...plus the whole fact that he was with a company...and he was a beggar...

Discomonkey · Postby **Discomonkey** » 31 Dec 2005, 04:28

Awesome work guys, kept me laughing the entire time.

Rhynome · Postby **Rhynome** » 31 Dec 2005, 04:45

Ya, 'tis Scottish. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say Edinburgh, where they think they're English. Well that Scottish spoken by old eccentric Edinburgh men somewhere around their 70's... they scare me.

Yup, there seemed to be little mishaps with the editing on the clip board section, but that's only minor and I'm not going to hold it against you. Yeah, right I'm not.

Just how much was the processing fee? That question got me tingling since I heard the words 'processing fee'. Great work with the telephone, nice little gag there. And altogether great work.
Ah each Friday night or Saturday morning, depending on when you stick it out and/ or when I go to sleep there's a nice little snippet of comedy waiting for me. w00t.

You guys are getting better every time, very funny, and good editing and acting!

"I've been thinking about getting one, only... I'm a bit tall" great line due to his asking for change, and all that.

I loved this one. I smelled a touch of Monty Python influence too.

I'm a fan of the face Graham makes after he says "I'm sorry to say I don't make the rules"...

As for the accent, I'd say it sounds most like the accent of the old(er...*ahem*) people in Victoria who originally came from the UK half a century ago and have developed a strange and unique amalgamation of their old accent and the west coast Canadian one.

Excellent acting, lads. Well done.[/quote]

Ha! Fooled you all!

I don't have an accent; I just talk funny.
That is, I speak strangely as opposed to humoursly.

I'm taking speech courses designed to help me speak with my quote unquote "real voice".
However, the moments when I have acheived my real voice are sadly few and far between.
Too much tention in the face and throat, you see.

Anyway, that's probably too much information about myself.
Please pretend I never said anything.

dang....I thought you had a Scottish one.

. What is your "Real voice" anyways? What kinda accent is it? Canadian?

Rhynome · Postby **Rhynome** » 31 Dec 2005, 19:34

He was speaking with a generic old man voice, it be hard to place. It definately wasn't the same as I'd imagine Graham or Morgan, so on speaking when they're older. So he may not have been intending to do so but he still sounds like an eccentric Eginburgh old dude to me.

Andy · Postby **Andy** » 31 Dec 2005, 21:09

That's the whole tragic mess of it.
I wasn't trying to sound old.
I talk strangely.
Bordering on psychological speech impediment.

I go to a performing arts college where they teach you diction and breathing and things. They tell me I'm Canadian and so I'm supposed to a speak in a "mid - atlantic dialect", which means generic North American.

There are around 12 Canadian dialects, such as a Newfoundland dialect or one of those stereotypical Bob and Doug Mackenzie "How's it goin', eh?" dialects that are found in parts of the prairies.

At any rate, it's been a problem for me, and I'm working on it.
I try to force it, and then they say, "You're forcing it!" and I say, "Yes, I am" and they say, "Don't do that! You sound like an American that way. You're Canadian!" And then I try again and again and so on and so on.

It's all very strange.

Rhynome · Postby **Rhynome** » 01 Jan 2006, 04:35

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

As long as you don't sound Yank I suppose it's okay.

In the UK the range of regional dialects is ridiculous, you travel five minutes and you could well have to adjust your hearing. I was watching a US tv program, and they were intervewing this guy from what must have been Yorkshire and they gave him subtitles. Most of us can understand each other but we accept that everyone talks silly.

When North Americans say 'British Accent' what they really mean is fairly well off/ okay parts of London and another accent that I just can't place at the moment, but the one with Billy Piper as Rose in Dr. Who if that means anything to you. Could well be London but not sure which part.

Hehehe... Andy makes a triumphant return.

Though the 'true Andy voice' seems to still be MIA.

I don't particularly care. In fact, I think that the 'strange-talk' gives a nice distinctive ring to his characters' dialogues.

Very well done. Kudos all 'round.
