Wow, I’ve never seen anything quite like this before. IT…….WAS……really stupid and I don’t know why I sat there for five minutes. I didn’t even chuckle at the last line… :P Oh well. I’ve seen your better sketches, so it’s okay.

-I did not think this was funny (and yes, I sat there for the whole 5 minutes, not skipping ahead)
-I noticed that Boxer did not have his hat like 10 seconds in.

Am I the ONLY person to realize that Raptor was hiding in (as) the Chairs? I saw that on my first (only) view! Oi!

Oh my gosh, I remember when I first watched this…I didn’t get mad, I wrote a few poems, checked my email, and made up a dance (and had the silence maybe lasted another thirty seconds I could have learned the cure for the common cold =}) and I’m one of those people who likes to repeat such experiences, which is weird because I am not a very patient person. I loved it. It was very soothing, despite the fact that a fair amount of people didn’t like it.

I could not stop laughing in this one. Something was just amazing about the long drawn out silence that hit me perfectly. Good job!

I’ll level with you. I wasn’t that much of an Olde English fan at first (when I went to school with you guys), but going back and watching some of that stuff…’salright.

This, however…oh geeze, i dunno. I watched the first one and I laughed because I was all like “oh man I remember ‘lobster sticks to magnet’.” Absurd is the new black, right? fyi everyone, this is “funny” because a) what does a boxer have to do with a raptor? and b) it’s boxer vs. raptor, but it’s a debate [despite the fact that both of these things are culturally violent identities, and we would expect them to physically fight rather than have a battle of wits]…classic comedic non sequitur.

As I said, I watched the first one and I laughed because I remembered ‘lobster sticks to magnet’. I watched this one and…basically, I do not find the boxer and raptor combination to be as inherently humorous as the lobster and magnet, coupled with your ‘absurdly long lull’ comedy technique that operates on the thought of “hey, it’s funny because it’s a comic pause that lasts longer than the audience anticipates” . I think lulls work better for you guys when it’s live footage…there are more little moments to milk. Maybe you wanted brutally dull…I dunno…I didn’t…I wanted him to say “oh shoot, i forgot my hat” at about the 1:30-2:00 mark, because after the intro I was pretty sure that was going to happen…and then it did and I was like “oh…ok”. Then I decided to write you guys this little long-winded comment, and then I’m gonna gonna go get a bowl of cereal and maybe watch cartoons.

oh, also I am stupid and i don’t think this is funny because i am stupid.
