Nah, it sounds like a typical american/canadian tradition with students that don't live in dorms or on their own.

As opposed to what other option??

Clever vid. Nice suit. Nice understated acting from Matt.

And I do suppose that Andy no doubt knows every single note that guy Cole Porter wrote, right?

This one? Beautiful.

I love Graham's acting. The came is great!

This hits a little close to home for me, as I have a couple of friends from high school for whom I am the figment. I drop by every once in a while to make sure that they've stopped playing WoW long enough to shower and buy food. It's hard to tell if anyone's alive in there sometimes, since they've nailed blankets over all the windows in their apartment.

Edited to add: The timing on the lights coming off and on was awesome. It's not a huge thing, but making the "snap" and the total darkness so perfectly synchronized, and making sure you can't see Graham before the lights come on or after they go off, really helps reinforce a lot of the humour. It's awesome. Thanks, guys 'n' gals.

How big and of what is that tattoo on Ash's leg, pray? It looks pretty mean.

Nearly. He's one of my favorites.

I'm so glad people are enjoying the video! I wish I could watch it, but I'm sitting in a motel hallway in the middle of the night and I can't use sound.

It certainly isn't Optimus Prime.

Good video, guys. I liked your rhyme, Graham. "My name is Xavier. I am your saviour." also the breaking out in song, because you could see the pain on your face.

You guys have really been on a musical kick lately...

not your best video, but it was funny for sure. And now you can say you have a video starting with every letter in the alphabet. Hooray.

Graham · Postby **Graham** » 30 Mar 2007, 23:25

I got to say, I don't think this video "zomg rofl laugh out loud" funny. But I like it, a lot.
It's a way, waaaaay more subdued, funny. Almost a little sad actually. Pathos everybody. What.

Misty · Postby **Misty** » 31 Mar 2007, 00:18

I thought it was plenty 'laugh out loud' funny, but that's only cause you sang. It was good, but extremely funny because, as Emma said, we could see how much it pained you to do it (even though it probably wasn't all that big of a thing, in reality)

darkduck · Postby **darkduck** » 31 Mar 2007, 02:42

Love it, but that was a sucky british accent. Plus I resent the term "british accent". Within Britain we have various Scottish accents, some welsh ones, and scores of regional english accents. English accent is a better term, because Scottish and Welsh, nothing like it! Almost incomprehensible!

Sorry about ranting, but I have to protect my dear darling PATHETIC country. And of course, my own form of speech.

I prefer drunken slurring myself.

By the way, nice singing there Graham!

Melendwyr · Postby **Melendwyr** » 31 Mar 2007, 08:01

It was an interesting and intriguing video, but not funny. Although a few laughs were derived from Xavier's forced singing.

This would be a weird and awesome recurring character. Especially if he appears to people other than Matt's character.

darkduck · Postby **darkduck** » 31 Mar 2007, 08:05

oi melendwyr(?), is your signature thingy from dr who? (edit: omg thats back TONIGHT!!!) i think i recognise it, but can't be sure.
And AmazingPjotrMan: drunken slurring, definitely good. Do a lot of that myself. Hang on, are you the guy who was on the IRC channel, asking the 8 ball whether you would get a call that night? And it said look for the answer... in England. Which is where I be. Wooot. So you asked me, and I said yes, but from a telemarketer... damn my memory.
If it is you, I would very much like to know whether a telemarketer called you. :?:

I agree.
Plus, I hope you don't take this as an insult but i was waiting for the 'Posh British Accent' to start all the through watching that. Apparently us posh brits sound like a canadian with a lower pitch and greatly slowed down tempo.

I'll have to remember that.

edit: Oh before i forget. That snapping the fingers and going from dark to light/light to dark with you appearing/dissapearing Graham was great! A simple yet fantastic effect. I tip my hat to you. Good sir. What what. Pip pip.

Now that I've gotten to see the whole thing, great one, guys. Graham, you make a very good womanizer (save for the cheesey lines).

darkduck · Postby **darkduck** » 31 Mar 2007, 08:54

Woohoo! I just noticed that the day Graham (my lord and master, all hail the bringer of laffs) joined his own forum was / is my birthday!
I feel special now

Dr Frankenjam · Postby **Dr Frankenjam** » 31 Mar 2007, 09:01

Graham, you'd best put a johnny over darkduck's head. You don't know where it's been.

and a big fat =P to you.

I received no call... I'm so lonely!

Why does Xavier's "scotch" look like Coke and Egg Yolk?
