Street Value
Street Value
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?

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)

Whoopsie! Logic and sanity are back there throwing banannas at each other!

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.

We are all made of star dust. However we are also made of nuclear waste.
Remember to think before you post.

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...

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'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?
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.

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.
