I heard him drop it ALL THE BLOODY TIME, so maybe we differ on whether something is in accent or not.
I can put my hands in my head, and I can laugh it in the face.

The first time I noticed the accent was during the first video. Assumed he underwent a really terrible British upbringing that he wanted deleted.

I can see where you're talking about. I watched it again and sometimes couldn't hear it. Maybe it's all in my head.

I'm afraid it didn't, mainly because most of your character's lines are fragmentary & not really long enough to establish he has an accent. For me as a fan it was distracting the first time once I figure out what you were doing. But for anyone else it should be fine.

This video strongly reminded me of that Jim Carey movie, Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or something, which I presume may have been an inspiration. I can really relate to it. There are things I'd like to forget but knowing I had that memory erased would drive me nuts.

I dunno, don't you think thats kind of the cowards way out? Just to forget about stuff? Also the video kind of demonstrates that to forget about our mistakes makes us doomed to repeat them. Especially if they're spyglass based!

Not that I'm calling you a coward or anything like, I'm just saying.
Nothing to see here.

I'm gonna go ahead and reiterate that I haven't seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and it wasn't an inspiration.

Though you should, because it's brilliant, and intentional or not, this is pretty much a direct parody of it.

In my experience there is not much difference.

I loved the way you said "tobogganing," Graham. Pure British gold... in England.

I can't believe I didn't notice this before, but I just realized that the "Memory Eraser" is made by RadioShack, and I actually used to work at RadioShack.
