Amazing

September 6th, 2006 at 6:36 am
Esscence of pure awesome.
So many quotes!!
“My last test was a multiple choice test.”
“She weaved me a basket made of tears.”
It goes on. Funniest sketch in a while, guys!
September 6th, 2006 at 9:32 am
another awesome sketch. Keep it up guys.
September 6th, 2006 at 10:04 am
You guys astound me.
If I knew anybody in the TV industry, or was shagging Lorne Michaels’ niece or something, that would be the sketch I would show them. But I don’t, so instead I’ll just sing your praises into the high branches of teh intarweb.
Keep up the incredible work. And also, a reunion sketch with all the OE Vets would be pretty amazing at this stage of the game.
September 6th, 2006 at 10:19 am
That’s the same bobblehead from “Computer Problems”!
Brilliant…
September 6th, 2006 at 10:47 am
Autumn turned to Fall.
sweet lord…
September 6th, 2006 at 11:31 am
Wow! Great job! This sketch is oddly appropriate to my life right now and also made me really proud of you guys. It’s definitely making my top 5 OE sketches. Where in the world did Caleb (if it was him) come up with some of that stuff? especially that hand/quiet old lady bit. Genius!
September 6th, 2006 at 11:37 am
OMG! fifth comment! woo!
September 6th, 2006 at 11:51 am
I’ve watched this five times already and the line “each breast larger than the last” never fails to make me laugh loudly and uncontrollably.
September 6th, 2006 at 12:51 pm
How many cameras did you use here? Was that done with just one? It’s fantastically and frenetically frantic and furious, while a fascinating feature that few would fathom, fearlessly flying from frame to frame, finely fleecing fair viewers of the faculty of firm fixedness.
You’ve also become quite adept at wordplay. I like that.
There are lots of little changes in the background between shots, like, for example, the door closing itself. I’m ordinarily not the type to point out what might be little errors, but I wonder… In “A Clockwork Orange,” it has been said that Kubrick would make little changes each time the camera shot a new angle - cups would contain increasing and decreasing amounts of liquid and such - in order to subconciously throw off perception and create tension and anxiety. Did you put that sort of thought into this quick-moving, whirl-wind of a sketch, or did you just screw some stuff up?
September 6th, 2006 at 1:23 pm
That was truely epic, fab stuff
September 6th, 2006 at 2:21 pm
Oh Caleb, where have you been all my life?!
Apparently training under Coco Sudoku.
September 6th, 2006 at 3:13 pm
Isn’t the hand/quiet old lady thing from ‘Good Night, Moon’?
September 6th, 2006 at 5:38 pm
huh-huh, training under coco sudoku.
September 6th, 2006 at 8:21 pm
each breast bigger than the last
harhar
September 6th, 2006 at 9:02 pm
I freakin love you guys, I’ve been watching your stuff since Gym Class, and never on youtube, it’s a crime to compromise video and audio quality just to watch videos a bit faster…
The new sketches are awesome, this with Father Son Talk are my favorites…
Keep it up motherfuckers !
September 6th, 2006 at 9:17 pm
That was great! The loudest I laughed since Monday.
Heh, today I almost fell off my chair like Caleb.
September 6th, 2006 at 10:05 pm
Sounds like a Tarantino film……….
loved it immensely!
chortled violently at ” Toupee!”
September 6th, 2006 at 10:29 pm
Holy calamity, this has got to be one of my favorites. Completely brilliant! In fact, double brilliant. I love Caleb’s antics and Ben’s reactions. Made my night, my day, damn it, it made my whole week. You light up my life.
September 7th, 2006 at 3:46 am
Pretty damn good guys, better than anything I could create.
But…
I didn’t like how the camera went from bizarre, obtuse angles, bobbling in action to suddenly sitting still for caleb’s One, Two, Three, Four moves of death. It killed the mood and was kind of a letdown towards the end. It didn’t match the feeling of the shots leading up to or after it.
That said, the stuff this summer is the best since Boxcar.
And wheres Hana? :/
September 7th, 2006 at 11:53 am
Well that was certainly an experience. I wasn’t sure what the point was at first, but halfway through I loved it more than my dog. Great work!
September 7th, 2006 at 5:46 pm
Hehehe.. the “Red Light/Green Light” bit was great.
September 7th, 2006 at 6:52 pm
A. - Fucking great. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Best ol’ Caleb’s done in a little bit.
B. - The rhymes were great, and the script was excellent. I love how the phone starts beeping when he kicks it off.
C. - “I was young and full of methamphetamines.” xDDD
D. - Ben’s expression when he ‘killed her four times’ was PRICELESS.
E. - “Down the drain with a bottle of paint.” xD
September 7th, 2006 at 9:04 pm
toupé.
September 7th, 2006 at 10:33 pm
Oh. Caleb closes the door.
September 7th, 2006 at 10:38 pm
Whoa! But then it’s open again! And the chair is upright! And the door’s closed!
Then closed.
September 8th, 2006 at 12:56 am
This stopped me from commiting suicide. This makes my top 5 OE sketches for sure.
September 10th, 2006 at 12:38 am
By my count, we’ve stopped 3 suicides via videos in the past week. You guys are making it really scary to disappoint.
September 11th, 2006 at 11:59 pm
1. Alright, so you guys are getting EXTREMELY perfect. As if you guys hadn’t amazed me beyond belief already, YOU GUYS HAVE ONE UPPED (is that a phrase?)!!! This was PERFECTION. Caleb Bark was amazing, Ben was perfect in his supporting role. Masterful direction and a beautiful score. I shall not forget this film, and neither will the… what am I talking about now?
2. The four times Caleb killed the enemy was… PHENOMAL!
3. As someone already mentioned… “TOUPE!”
4. Caleb’s face as he said, “Special… changes.” was perfect.
5. I CANNOT STOP LOVING YOU GUYS!!!
6. If you were a plant, what would you all consider yourself to be?
A. Suki, you copied me.
B. I love you though!
October 5th, 2006 at 1:05 am
Caleb at his finest
October 8th, 2006 at 10:46 pm
This one is probably my favorite.
October 10th, 2006 at 12:13 am
i threw it all away to hang with the rifraff in the robust rustabouts on skid avenue
October 16th, 2006 at 4:40 pm
“Have you ever been in love?”
“I think so”
“Thinking is for mathematicians, I pay you to know”
“I’m a mathematician”
“Toupé”
I almost fell out of MY chair with that. And then:
“Eventually I was taken in by a (didn’t catch this word) band of violent feminists. Their leader’s name was AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
And after the whole thing he doesn’t even get that promotion after having to sit through that whole thing
It’s causing joyful pain… :D
October 16th, 2006 at 6:26 pm
I bust out laughing when Caleb fell of his Chair THEN APPEARED ON THE OTHERSIDE.damn i didn’t see that comming it was perfect,
October 22nd, 2006 at 6:04 pm
FAAAAN-TASTIC. Just fantastic. I laughed so hard…and then watched it again, and again.
Why do you guys not have a TV show yet?
“I was in love once with a beautiful woman, each breast larger than the last. Her name was Koko Sedoko, she was a riddle wrapped in an egg salad sandwhich…”
Brilliant.
October 26th, 2006 at 12:31 am
That was like a dream I had, a dream of kitten proportions and marker lengths.
Simply Amazing.
October 27th, 2006 at 12:47 pm
Does the “Windmill” attack come from Home Movies? At least, that’s what I thought of when I saw it…
November 2nd, 2006 at 2:59 am
The Riff-raff and robust rust - abouts on skid avenue. The greatest line in the history of the world.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:30 am
Nah…best line ever is definitely:
“Kschevsky. I don’t like you, and you don’t like me, so let’s not mince words. *closes door* I like you. You’ve done a lot of great work for this company, like…c’mon, help me out here.”
“The Carlton report?”
“Oooh….forget about it.”
November 12th, 2006 at 5:17 pm
i love the long-uns.
November 14th, 2006 at 8:35 pm
haha
It’s not just suicides you’ve stopped.
Your sketches have gone a long way to help in the recovery from this illness I have…four days with nothing but bed rest and OE…good times.
November 15th, 2006 at 9:22 pm
This is still funny, and i watched it the day it came out! But you need some new sketches, guys.
November 26th, 2006 at 3:21 am
wow i love you Caleb. you were so crazy in that.awww. Ben looked so innocent.lol good skit.
December 11th, 2006 at 7:43 am
Love the Grease reference. Summer dreams with Coco Sudoku…?
Keep up the great work you guys!
I love mathematicians!
January 25th, 2007 at 6:37 pm
Why are you guys so amazing? WHY are you guys so amazing?Who came up with those words? Those fabulous words of an awesome power so few others will ever be exposed to? I am rendered incapable of expressing my feelings of awe. So I’m leaving it up to my little brother to tell you his thoughts: aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggggggggggggg! I LOVE YOU GUYS! ………………………….YOU ARE WEARD. IF YOU COULD DO THAT THEN I WANT YOU TO DO ONE OF HATCHET.
(Um, I think he’s talking about the book, Hatchet. His teacher is reading it to the class. Gotta love the youth group.)
March 9th, 2007 at 8:39 pm

April 26th, 2007 at 12:16 am

“when i graduated simultaneously form oxford, cornell, and itt tech, i was young, dumb, and full of methamphetamines.”
“how long have you worked here? hour, hour and a half?”
“three years.”
“three?! three hours?? where does the time go??”

June 14th, 2007 at 8:49 pm

December 6th, 2007 at 4:16 am

April 18th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
You guys R amazingly awesome! I haven’t seen this one in forever, and this really is Caleb at his best! I love your new ones too, but they can’t beat the older classics.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:33 am
“I inherited three magic beans. A great job; a beautiful wife; and three magic beans”
Excellent!
May 10th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Yet again (like I wish for all of your movies, they’re so great!) I wish I could portray this skit on a stage…oh well, this movie was excellent!! ;D
