Im probably not the first comment regaurdless of if theres no comments showing, but since i am at the top im going to put a whole bunch of quotes from the sketch so that the people who are waiting for it to load can hear how funny it is without seeing it and experiencing it for themselves!
September 14th, 2006 at 9:51 am
hmm, you guys should to tourism promotion videos.

“No i meant Bush!”
“Bush sucks, you like Bush? That’s so gay!”
“Brooklyn’s great! Except for the giant boulders that fall from the sky…”
haha good work guys. Simple yet fantastic.
September 14th, 2006 at 10:27 am
Fucking awesome! Wish I coulda been there!
September 14th, 2006 at 10:45 am
You guys are right about that. I have to say my favorite part was when Raizin started cracking. Adorable.

CSS is always a good choice for music.

Also, why does it always seem like Adam wants to topless, or wear a shirt that makes him appear topless to the untrained eye?

i love that there are new episodes almost every day!! its so nice to come back from my rediculously early 8 oclock class and have something funny to watch. it keeps be from going back to bed and being unproductive. :D
September 14th, 2006 at 1:32 pm
fabtastic sketch, i went to brooklyn once, i think…
September 14th, 2006 at 1:38 pm
Also, theres a DRO piece in that back. In no thanks to me.
September 14th, 2006 at 2:27 pm
DRO piece?
September 14th, 2006 at 3:39 pm
As a Staten Islander I find that sketch…Amazing.
September 14th, 2006 at 4:15 pm
“It’s still better than Staten Island!”
Heh. Short, but oh so sweet.
September 14th, 2006 at 5:07 pm
OMG LEETSAUCE
September 14th, 2006 at 5:27 pm
As soon as I saw Ben, I was all set to leave a “Bose Triports?? Ewww!” comment, but then I watched the rest of it.
Subtle, very subtle…
…or am I giving you guys too much credit?
September 14th, 2006 at 5:36 pm
What the fuck’s wrong with my Bose Triports? They’re great!
September 14th, 2006 at 5:52 pm
Yeah… those are awesome headphones, besides bring too fragile. Great sketch… go Brooklyn! Go PUSA! Go CSS! Go Boulders!
September 14th, 2006 at 6:14 pm
The camera movement for the boulder falling was really cool. =]
September 14th, 2006 at 6:48 pm
I’m from Staten Island, and I take offense to that…but reguardless, that was fraggin’ great.
She’s Lump…

Poke-kay-mon.

Hey, great sketches, they’re getting better and better! I love how you slipped the Lincoln Monument in with all the flashes of Brooklyn, very subtle…

September 14th, 2006 at 9:48 pm
yea SI really does suck…and yes this is a very biased review, given that im from Brooklyn (Midwood rep oh snap)
but the falling boulders problem is serious people. They arent joking. A falling boulder claimed the life of a friend of mine….sometimes when the phone rings i yell out “Andy is that you?!” but the caller replies “No ari, andy got smashed by a boulder”…and then i cry.
awesome sketch!!!
September 14th, 2006 at 10:08 pm
ummm im not sure if im the first one. i didnt realy have the effert to go back through all the sketches and forums trying to find my answer but, this sketch and plenty of others that are newer the audio doesnt skip but the video does, and moves slower the then the audio at times. is it just my computer? is anyone else having this issue? or is it becuase of the new editing program? i have no idea.
btw, brilliant sketch.
September 14th, 2006 at 10:46 pm
Wow it was pretty funny
I wonder how you guys put out so many sketches though, I am in a media class at school and we have to do a sketch everyone week, and thats pretty tough.
September 14th, 2006 at 11:33 pm
1. Ben singing “LUMP” made it CLASSIC!
September 15th, 2006 at 12:31 pm
Trevor, to answer your question–we’re a lot more hardworking than you and your lazy media class comrades. Get to work, fuckwads!
September 15th, 2006 at 3:41 pm
yeah that one was pretty funny,
do you guys do one video a day or in advance or something?
either way, personally i thought it was the best of the new videos since the Door Store.
keep’em coming
September 15th, 2006 at 8:53 pm
I live on staten and it does suck…we’re the only part of the city that relys on PIRATE TRANSPORTATION(damn ferry) to get to manhattan…and i have to commute 3 days a week… I hate the commute…
September 15th, 2006 at 10:36 pm
Kids these days and their gentrification.
Great sketch!!!
September 16th, 2006 at 1:15 pm
it’s kinda funny…
but kinda stupid.
lol.
i like the ‘it’d be ironic..” bit…
September 16th, 2006 at 5:42 pm
Aww, nothing about briton beach??
September 16th, 2006 at 6:45 pm
I must say that i was really impressed by the boulder thing!
September 16th, 2006 at 8:49 pm
What’s with that sign with the naked fat guy crawling towards the fruit with the word “diet” behind him at the end of the video?
September 16th, 2006 at 9:06 pm
you did it in this one, too! is it niels or neils? im so confused.
September 17th, 2006 at 11:54 pm
eep!
September 19th, 2006 at 10:10 am
That was so funny, especially i loved the part with falling boulders and “You like Bush? Thats gay!”.
September 19th, 2006 at 8:05 pm
Hopefully love, love, love is all the Olde English cast needs is love, because that’s what I’m here to give them. Love you guys, love your hard work, love how Ben is insulting the fanbase. Keep up the good stuff, like this’n.
September 21st, 2006 at 12:35 am
I LOVE the bush joke. I didn’t get it the first time, but the second time I realised why you played “come down” and laughed. Good times.
September 23rd, 2006 at 9:38 pm
you didnt like machine head?
September 26th, 2006 at 2:54 pm
Definitely one to put in my big collection of favorites
October 23rd, 2006 at 12:17 am
You can tell Raizin has a hard time not smiling.
November 17th, 2006 at 7:58 pm
I figured I should mention that Ben tracked me down on myspace to threaten me about dishonoring his Bose Triports in the comments for “the stakeout”

Come on Raizin, keep it toegether.
December 8th, 2006 at 6:17 am
Now, unlike the Queens painfully annoying one-note one, that was airtight. Comic gold all the way through.
I live in Jersey City so I won’t be holding my breath for our tribute.
P.S. I have absolutely no idea who “CSS” are. Apparently some Brooklyn based techno act or something.
December 15th, 2006 at 10:07 am
Y’know, I never did find out where them boulders came from… I think thats why I stay in Queens more often
December 29th, 2006 at 2:51 am
OMG that was funny! It’s cool, the last scene was filmed literally one block from my house! Lol, good job.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
I love the scene where adam screams in the background because he got crushed by a boulder
April 30th, 2007 at 8:32 am
except for the boulders that fall from the sky HAHAHA
September 12th, 2007 at 4:53 pm
Awesome! Three subtle things that really made me laugh about it:
The picture of the Lincoln Memorial.
Adam saying “fucking fuckwads!” as he leaves the scene (you have to turn up the volume to catch it).
The way Raizin’s eyes anxiously dart to the left at the very end.
September 12th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
Actually, I meant to say “fucking fuckwits!” THAT’S what Adam said.
October 14th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
Lump by presidents of the united states of america, what an amazing reference.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:20 pm
boulders falling out of the sky, funny, but what the hell?!
December 23rd, 2007 at 2:17 am
I want you with my mad love.
