“Hey dude catch this ming vas!”.
September 21st, 2006 at 7:17 am
Heh. I love Raizin as a mommy.
“Here’s your precious Ming vase back.” *crash*
Awesome.
September 21st, 2006 at 7:33 am

Too funny, keep up the good work!

adam was always the gullible one
September 21st, 2006 at 7:41 am
Wow…is that really Raizin?
Nice hair.
You know, I’ve always been curious…where did the name “Raizin” come from?
September 21st, 2006 at 8:04 am
They should do a sketch about the origins of the name Raizin.
September 21st, 2006 at 8:27 am
I thought it was comman knowledge that the name Raizin came from the lost south affrican tribes who raised him in a vineyard? or is that just me?
great sketch though :)

Hahaha “You’re so close, you’re SO close! C’mon!”
September 21st, 2006 at 10:17 am
Just how many precious Ming vases were destroyed in filming this skit? Very cute! Really liked the illusion with the beer, so close yet so far away!
September 21st, 2006 at 10:55 am
Earthworm Jim aint nothin to fuck with.
September 21st, 2006 at 11:28 am
woooo i love you guys, thanks for making me laugh on a daily basis, except tuesdays…
September 21st, 2006 at 11:31 am
The giant beer can seems like it would be the basis of this entire sketch, a comedy catalyst if you would.
How does David feel about being Mario?
September 21st, 2006 at 12:46 pm
I think Adam should just quit and play music all the time :D
September 21st, 2006 at 1:01 pm
I love how the car isn’t moving.
September 21st, 2006 at 1:11 pm
Way to rock the ukulele. Sweet.
September 21st, 2006 at 2:08 pm
is that Virt’s FX2 I hear in the background?
September 21st, 2006 at 3:08 pm
Yes indeed, Miles — you win King Geek for this sketch!
September 21st, 2006 at 3:55 pm
I wanna see Adam rocking out on his ukulele.
September 21st, 2006 at 3:56 pm
Also, where’d you guys get that giant beer?
September 21st, 2006 at 5:51 pm
i like the music
September 21st, 2006 at 6:02 pm
“there totol dicks about it” dude sweet tunes!
September 21st, 2006 at 7:04 pm
Oh no mr. Sinister is attacking Brooklyn
Oh no where am i gonna buy my groceries
September 21st, 2006 at 7:06 pm
I KNEW Adam was the kind of guy to play ukelele!
We all play those depth perception games. hehe
September 21st, 2006 at 7:17 pm
Woo! Second Post!
September 21st, 2006 at 7:21 pm
King Geek?! Sweet!
I can’t wait to tell my Warcraft guild.
September 21st, 2006 at 8:03 pm
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. I love the Mario thing. I was a Mario freak for a while.
Yeah.
September 21st, 2006 at 8:14 pm
Wow, I’m scared to go near babies now. I don’t want to ruin their future.
My friends loved this. Awesome. Ukelele. Sorry, have to do homework…
September 21st, 2006 at 8:54 pm
*worships*
I couldn’t tell it was Raizin in a wig the first time I watched this. Good for you, Raizin!
September 21st, 2006 at 9:01 pm
What I learned from this sketch… Adam drives with his door open, Raizen is a MILF, and clean shaven Dave is mean. That is all.
September 21st, 2006 at 9:23 pm
Sweet! EARTH WORM JIM, MARIO, MR.SINISTER, and MOMMY RAIZIN!!!! WOW raizen can sure pull off for an average 35-40 year old women…lol
September 21st, 2006 at 9:27 pm
Why do I get the feeling that there is a very strange story behind that large can? Why, also, do I feel it has something to do with a transient man and a shovel?
September 21st, 2006 at 10:53 pm
You’re all wrong — we bought the can at a costume store.
September 21st, 2006 at 10:57 pm
FYI, Adam really doesn’t have any depth perception. But it’s not my fault. And when are you going to put the real ME in a sketch?
September 21st, 2006 at 11:41 pm
Good work! HA!
September 21st, 2006 at 11:54 pm
haha niiccee
September 22nd, 2006 at 1:01 am
Lovin the giant beer can gag and the ukulele.
September 22nd, 2006 at 4:02 am
When we fans stop being crazy stalker freaks, and he no longer would fear for your life. That’s when, Adam’s Mom. THAT’S when…
September 22nd, 2006 at 10:02 am
I just sort of realized… my dad only has one eye but he is pretty good at catching things. Plays catch with a football and whatnot. Also decent at driving. But he’s also a bum, and bums are crafty.
September 22nd, 2006 at 1:50 pm
Somethings wrong with this video, the catching section was missing, all i saw was adam keep playing the ukelele.
September 22nd, 2006 at 2:26 pm
Holla, do I know you from somewhere?
September 22nd, 2006 at 3:54 pm
Is it just me or this a different version of the video? When Adam says “I was always pretty bad at catching” it doesn’t cut to him not being able to catch. Weird…
September 22nd, 2006 at 4:31 pm
LOL, Can you really only see out of one eye? I liked the car part.
September 22nd, 2006 at 6:03 pm
I agree with Shirley! I thought when this video first came out, there was a cut after Adam says he’s bad at catching. When I watched it again today, it seemed that part had been removed. So either Shirley and I are both crazy, or there’s been a change to the video since it was first released.
September 22nd, 2006 at 7:05 pm
Yeah, its a different ending. Either way is good. I’m leaning towards the first way, but probably just because that’s the way I remember it. And if they change it back, the rest of the people(who probably hold the majority) would want it back to their original. Either way, hilarious and unique sketch.
September 22nd, 2006 at 8:13 pm
Adam, I know exactly how you feel. I’m color blind and my friends act like total dicks about it.
“Mike, why don’t you go? That traffic light is green!” *SMASH*
September 22nd, 2006 at 8:36 pm
I keep coming back to this one. I love it.
September 23rd, 2006 at 7:54 am
No Akira, but i did see your website, and the pic with the “holla holla holla” quote on it…i must say im flattered.
September 23rd, 2006 at 12:25 pm
haha more eukulele in songs. :D
September 24th, 2006 at 4:21 pm
To those who asked — yes, for a few hours a day or so ago there was a version up that didn’t have the catching shot. I had compressed a new version of the video to fix another error (with the titles at the very end), and forgot to reenable that shot. Everything is as it should be now.
September 25th, 2006 at 10:09 pm
“hey you want another beer?”
“yeah sure”
“aw dude you’re so close, so close”
“adam look it’s mr. sinister, he’s attacking brooklyn”
“oh now where am i going to buy my groceries”
haa haa

1) Adam played a ukulele in this sketch (and quite well!).
2) Last night for Quiz Nite at Erin’s Pub, the deciding question was “how many strings does a ukulele have?”
3) Because of Adam, I remembered it has four strings.
4) My team won.
Thanks, Olde English, for the free alcohol!
P.S. Please make an MP3 of those chords you played so we can listen to your ukulele awesomeness anytime.
September 27th, 2006 at 9:35 pm
umm, is that a henrys circus diabolo?
ww.diabolo.ca, sharpes
October 1st, 2006 at 10:21 pm
I too don’t have depth perception. Is it strabismus with you too?
October 6th, 2006 at 12:26 pm
damn, this one was good.
Hooray for earthworm Jim!
and awesome eukalele work. I have one too, but I’m too lazy to tune it.
October 6th, 2006 at 5:09 pm
No, I have ambyoplia due to extreme nearsightedness in one eye. Good guess though!
October 8th, 2006 at 5:18 pm
I didn’t know Adam had musical talent! But no it seems so obvious! ^o^
October 16th, 2006 at 2:19 pm
Did anyone else notice that Adam is in fact wearing his glasses during all the example shots except the catching one?
It’s seems then Adam should have at least realized that Mr. Sinister was not really attacking Brooklyn and that Dave was just being a dick.
October 18th, 2006 at 11:06 am
Lolz…. Mr. Sinister FTW.
October 19th, 2006 at 6:45 pm
lol this is one of your best sketches for sure. The fact that Adam doesnt even move his fingers while hes supposed to be playin the music is pretty good too. didnt anyone else notice that?
October 21st, 2006 at 4:00 am
Actually, I wasn’t wearing my glasses during that scene because I didn’t want to destroy them when I threw myself to the ground.
October 22nd, 2006 at 12:07 am
I pass by that place in Brooklyn on the F train on my way to school everyday! It’s above ground, so I know exactly where that is! Yay Brooklyn!
October 25th, 2006 at 8:44 pm
one of my favoirtes by far. superb editing! you maximized the comic effect!
October 30th, 2006 at 1:14 am
Hey, what’s up adam? I don’t know if you remember me, but i used to live in tallahassee when you still lived there! the weird thing is, i actually remember you coming to my house and showing me your glasses with only one corrective lens, and i think you were the first person that i ever played star fox with… ahh, what a great game. anyways, i’ve been watching your sketches for a few years now and you guys are genious! Keep up the good work!
Oh yeah, i love your intro in the one of the theme song sketches where you’re totally rockin out to the tallahassee-grown band creed… thank jesus someone else hates them as much as i do!
November 12th, 2006 at 8:05 pm
THIS ONE WAS GREEEEEEAAAAT! LOL THIS VIDEO AND POKEMON DAY ARE MY FAVS SO FAR. LOL. LOL. LOL.
December 21st, 2006 at 8:31 pm
In Drivers Ed, my teacher was talking about depth perception and everytime I read it in the book or hear him talking about it, I can’t help but think of Adam playing the ukulele and smile. :) Thanks for making my boring class somewhat enjoyable!
January 17th, 2007 at 3:11 am
There are more monocular cues than binocular cues, to depth perception.
Absence of stereoscopic vision does NOT exclude Adam from having depth perception.
But a cute sketch, nonetheless.
What were those chords you played, BTW?
January 19th, 2007 at 7:22 pm
HAHAHA! LOVE THE INTRO, laughed through the whole sketch because of it, ah goe goe goe!
January 26th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
Why is adam screaming even though his car isnt moving? LOL moron
April 28th, 2007 at 11:32 pm
wow you guys have quite a few musicians, Jesse with the piano, and Adam with the ukelele,
very talented, very talented
April 12th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
wtf with the ukelele
April 19th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
I really hope all of you guys know that adam isn’t really playing the Ukelele. Although that doesnt mean he cant play it.
If you thought that he was really playing than you guys really arent the brightest BOX of lightbulbs.
