Loved the video. Was best one in a while.

i really liked the ad at the start.. look at it this way guys (the people complaining about it) it could of been generic and boring..

[Master Gunner]

Who's complaining about it? (Other than those complaining about retinal damage, but that's a different matter entirely). The ads seem to be fairly well received, and people are simply wondering whether or not they'll be a regular feature.

[dark_realm]

i admit i did just scan the few posts.. but i did not label anyone or blame anyone.. so its for the people who ever DID complain about not not ask if they were going to stay.

[Nomadic]

I'm just curious as to how they're applied to the said video. As long as the ads stay in the LRR style, I'm more than happy to endure them.

LRR ads are what would result from the combination of comedy and marketing working together in a flawless dance.

...though perhaps I'm exaggerating...

If this is the result of throwing Kathleen into the writing mix though... I say we need more Kathleen writing!

Kathleen writes a lot for the site, and there are a lot of videos to prove it.

Nice video guys and kathleen. Interesting seeing matt and graham in the all together but...burns the eyes!!!!!!.

Oh and kudo's to morgan for the dress. Looks good and has nice curves to him.

[Motoken]

first off, the ad was very well done, good use of irony.
visually overall performance was good, the pose done by el poyo felt very natural. in the step performance Morgan did an excellent job in body acting, Graham did well with facial expression as well as Morgan, though around 3:00 Morgan could have had more emotion, it seemed that he had little care for the results of the testing.
greatly appreciate the variety of camera angles done at 3:45, :40, but the prelude to Morgan's interview could have had more variety in angle.
audibly the music went well with the story, but got annoying after hearing the background so much towards the end. dialog flowed and was natural.

92% about an -A
(lol, this time Matt had no pockets to put his hands in)

It also amuses me that he seems to be most opposed to the drug test. Mr. Thrimbletrimmer, are you hiding something?

Maybe that, also maybe he was confused that that the employer wanted the sample in a coffee cup instead of a specimen cup. Perhaps its really for the employer's collection or something? XP

Loved the video I started laughing when Graham said "That's unfortunate" (in regards to Morgan's name) and didn't stop laughing untill 3 minutes after the video finished!!

Well done.

D!

BTW: Ads at the front are fine by me!!

[Cake]

Ok, I give up, I can't see it well enough. What does the fail motivator say in the background?

[LS]

It's debatable, but I think an argument could certainly be made for calling the ad the funniest part of the video. I fully support its future inclusion, doubly so if it gets changed up semi-frequently.

Bravo on this one, guys. I was consumed by a great fit of giggles.

[tak197]

I think I would spell it Intechiminco.

As for the ad being the funneist part of the video, it's totally unfair to do so. The ad and the short are completely different entities. If they put the ad before "Format War", people would have said, "LOL at the ad". If they put the short before "Format War", people would have said, "HOLY JEEBUS IN A PEANUT! A DOUBLE FEATURE!". Completely different reactions.

[Melendwyr]

The ad does get us in the right, punchy mood to really appreciate the video after it.

Sort of an opening act.

[Cake]

You gotta admit. It was a fun joke. I would have liked the video, with or without it.

[Daniel]

INSTANT CLASSIC! And not because of any gimmick in the premise (which is old hat) or technical aspect, but sheer skill. What was so great about it was the swift and frequent shifts from one *kind* of joke to another, a cornucopia of them in fact, so that each one both got its own separate detonation, and contributed to a chain reaction of funny (the x ways to y have a similar density of jokes, but aren't usually cumulative like this). So whenever I thought I had a handle on it, it would mutate into some direction I had not forseen (El Puyo being one of them, or even just the quick cut to the obstacle course) It's a masterpiece of pacing.

As for the jokes themselves, you face monty python and Fry & laurie on their own turf, and give a great showing - an actually pretty funny name gag at the beginning (probably because it's so fast), and many "nutty job interview" gags that were terrific, from the riddle to the name spelling to the drug test. All anchored by Graham's flawless deadpan and Morgan's gameness and likeability (the Michael Palin of the group?). Finally I congratulate you on the capper gag - sketches are hard to end, and this ending was perfect. Not your most ambitious vid, but one of your best.

Amusing: most of the ads that popped up for me were about bipolar disorder. Are they trying to tell me something? (that would be funny if they were for Schizophrenia: "Is this ad banner reading your mind?")

[Daniel]

This is about to be annoying, but I can't help myself.

--

Should have been:

"Ah, could I get that in a sentence?"

"We need to aggregate holistic scalable systems to better synergize backward overflower. 'Better.'"

"B-E-T..."

And Morgan's face should have gone right down into the pie at the end.

[I, Nameless Slug]

I loved the ad. It took me a while to realize it was an ad.

[kimmeekimkim]

You know, I've gotta say, it's wierd... the more I think about the ad, the more I think i WILL buy one of the shirts... or one of each... Curse my susceptibility to advertising!

[tak197]

I don't want to start begging for the podcast, but I REALLY want to hear about this video from the crew. It was a great video, but some things you just want to listen to the crew discuss.

[Lavos]

Nothing can beat the underpantaloons montage.

Nothing.
