Hilarious, Matt's performance was great but Wes Borg's energy was amazing.

How hard was it to keep a straight face for this one Matt?

One thing I've noticed about alot of the season 7 vids (counting season 7 as starting on the escapist) is that it takes until about halfway in for them to get real funny.

Once they get there though, watch out.

Keep it up guys.

I loved this, I thought it was brilliant. XD I know it sounds dumb, but I didn't see Matt's breakdown and reveal coming, I thought he was just playing straight man to the editor's absolutely nuts funny man. :D A most pleasant surprise. ;)

I want more Wes Borg in LRR OR YOU'RE FIRED!

I thoroughly enjoyed that script, mocking stereotypes and very quick pace. Well done as usual.

While this wasn't the funniest video (funny, maybe even funnier, but not funniest), I have to commend the acting. That was a top notch performance.

Got to be one of the funniest LRR videos ever. Knee-jerk reaction? No, Wes Borg is apparently just that awesome. From start to finish he made that video, from the drugs to the sex to the crossword puzzles. Get Wes more; the writing was so much fun but the performance was energetic and full of fantastic flavour.

Haha, after watching this, I caught myself taking great care of my voice as if it were sore. I realized after watching that I was feeling the pain of that voice, lol. I hope you gave Wes a whole bag full of Halls after this vid.

I guess I'm in the minority for once as I didn't care for this video. The script is funny but I couldn't stand the performance. The dialog is great BUT NOT AT 150DB!!! and not for four minutes straight. You should have switched it out a bit by having Borg speak to Matt in a calm, polite voice & only scream into the phone, or vice versa. In fact, Matt may as well have been eliminated entirely as he's only there to be yelled at. All the conversations could have been through several lines of the phone.

Speaking of the phone, the traditional ringer on the modern office phone was a nice touch.

I'll watch the video again later & see how my feelings change, but I need a break first because I know Borg is going to be extremely grating.

But the decibels he's expellin' don't exactly make him a felon! Though I agree with ottoman, the little hellion - use the speaker control, and put some quellin' on this volume rebellion.

Had to get that out of my system.

That was so good. I'm glad to see Wes, if only we could see him more often. Desert Bus perhaps?
