I once heard that you had doors.
Genius!
September 4th, 2006 at 8:20 am
yeah…
doors are pretty sweet…
September 4th, 2006 at 8:43 am
Heh. Doors.
Sound was a little off for me though.
September 4th, 2006 at 9:01 am
Why does Dave always get the really cheesy sketches?
September 4th, 2006 at 9:21 am
Wow, if I were Dave, I would’ve totally messed up my lines. Talk about tongue-twisters….
Kudos! :-D
September 4th, 2006 at 9:39 am
“Pizza for breakfast?”
September 4th, 2006 at 10:07 am
That was ridiculous. You guys are ridiculous.
In other words, keep up the ridiculously good work.
September 4th, 2006 at 10:08 am
“You want windows!? Well we got doors!”
definently the funniest sketch in awhile
September 4th, 2006 at 10:41 am
I need a door!
September 4th, 2006 at 10:43 am
simply awsome
September 4th, 2006 at 11:32 am
AHHAHA my dad sells doors
September 4th, 2006 at 12:07 pm
Trust me, Sarah — Dave messed up a LOT of lines.
September 4th, 2006 at 12:45 pm
That script is damn awesome. I can’t imagine being able to write something that freaking perfect.
And of course Dave brings it to life like no other can.
Awesome work guys!
September 4th, 2006 at 12:57 pm
Deff. a good pick-me up during the day.
September 4th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
Wow. Simply wow. For a guy who doesn’t remember lines Dave sure did a good job with the rhymes. (oh snap, i rhymed too!)
September 4th, 2006 at 2:06 pm
Did you even show any of the doors that you sell?
That was confusing, but still made me laugh a bit, pretty cooky.
September 4th, 2006 at 2:55 pm
I thought he was going to say whore but you kept it kid friendly and went with horse. This one is one of the funnier ones I have to say.
September 4th, 2006 at 4:02 pm
yes, Id like to order a door. Do you deliver?
September 4th, 2006 at 4:22 pm
Yeah, thats a lot of lines for someone who cant remember lines…
On a completely different topic, I wonder why he is always looking to the left of the camera…
September 4th, 2006 at 4:39 pm
Lemme guess, you guys saw a store called the “Door Store” and decided to write a sketch on the way back from your vacation. am I close?
September 4th, 2006 at 4:50 pm
That ending when all the daves slowly sink down screaming DOOORRRRS is really, really fucking creepy.
September 4th, 2006 at 6:06 pm
how many door’s you say?
September 4th, 2006 at 6:07 pm
Dr. Seuss would have been proud of you! I especially liked your mustache and seeing Maya! I’m now thinking of buying a new door although I really needed a window.
September 4th, 2006 at 8:16 pm
Didn’t you guys do that in a show once? It was awesome then, and it’s awesome now. I love the dancing Daves in the background.
September 4th, 2006 at 8:17 pm
Yeah…our “vacation”…
(we didn’t actually go anywhere)
September 4th, 2006 at 8:38 pm
Great! Dave’s hand gestures amuse me. I love it.
September 4th, 2006 at 9:06 pm
I’m surprised the word “whore” didn’t make an appearance.
September 4th, 2006 at 10:13 pm
a little bit satanic, but I enjoyed it immensely.
September 4th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
“Pizza for breakfast?” “You bet’cha, Doors!”
I really liked this one, keep’um coming
September 4th, 2006 at 10:58 pm
Wow, well written. You guys never disappoint. I’ll have to come to a show soon as a fellow NYC guy =D
September 5th, 2006 at 12:14 am
1. GREAT COMEBACK AFTER YOUR VACATION!!!
2. David’s so fantastic here. Kind of reminds me of his character for the Video iPod … video.
3. The Shyest Cowboy, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
4. I have a question… complete this quote, “Big doors, little doors, dog doors, _____ doors.” WHAT THE HECK’S HE SAYING?! He makes whiskers like when Adam made whiskers in the Ransom video… I think I’ll go watch the Ransom video NOW!
5. THANKS ONCE AGAIN! YOU GUYS ARE THE EPITOME OF GREATNESS!
September 5th, 2006 at 12:52 am
bob
September 5th, 2006 at 1:46 am
J-Man — the line in question is “Kitty doors!”
And by the way, everyone, despite our good-natured ribbing, I don’t want anyone to think that Dave is physically incapable of remembering phrases spoken in the English language. He’ll give you a lot of aborted takes, sure, but it’s not like shooting this was actually a big deal.
September 5th, 2006 at 2:02 am
Wow. That was the single most beautiful rhyme anything I’ve ever heard.
September 5th, 2006 at 2:37 am
The Door Store is Steven & Sons Grocery Store.
What does this mean. Tofu doors?
If you kids like pausing videos and scouring the screen, the Door Store is the sketch for you. That doctor is wearing an Oxford University T-shirt. That Door Man is being eaten by some variety of gigantic tarantula. Maybe.
September 5th, 2006 at 5:01 am
Needs a music track!
other than that:
Woo YaY Hollupa
September 5th, 2006 at 6:44 am
Doors, doors, one of us!
We will give you a horse…..shaped door!
September 5th, 2006 at 4:33 pm
wow… so much dave, just plain billowing and bubbling full of dave.
September 5th, 2006 at 6:27 pm
that was freaking itense u guys!
congrats on managing to say all of the ryhming David!
September 5th, 2006 at 7:21 pm
Did you guys change something about the way you do the iTunes videos? The most recent ones are green-tinged and won’t open in the larger iTunes movie player. Any clue why this started happening (beginning with ‘Father-Son Talk’)?
September 5th, 2006 at 8:02 pm
1. Thank you ADAM!
2. That’s all.
September 5th, 2006 at 9:10 pm
Ha ha, Adam always has food spinning behind him. Definitely the best sketch since “don’t you wish”. Also the best use of multiple people in one shot. I love the commercial parodies.
September 5th, 2006 at 9:17 pm
Is it just, I… or does Ben play doctors a lot? And by a lot, I mean twice.
September 5th, 2006 at 11:29 pm
Nice fluid raving, Dave!
“Pizza for breakfast?!
That’s right, doors!”
One of the best lines ever.
September 6th, 2006 at 12:01 am
Come one, let’s get some tacos
September 6th, 2006 at 12:35 am
I came back to say that I really love Dave’s finger-moustaches.
It’s just really brilliant because it contrasts the rest of the film that was put together and edited so well. After making doubles of Dave and using all these nice backgrounds, you let him just stick his fingers on his lip for a moustache.
And I’m not saying this critically, I seriously mean it when I say that that’s BRILLIANT.
(I wish I could be so funny.)
September 6th, 2006 at 12:50 am
Doors - the American dream
September 6th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
Hearing Ben say “What about books?” brought back great memories of Steven the Vegan.
September 6th, 2006 at 12:29 pm
JoeB — sorry, nothing has changed (in the last few weeks anyway — we’ve been using the H264 codec for awhile), and they look fine to me. Must be a problem on your end — make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes!
September 6th, 2006 at 1:58 pm
I agree that the finger moustaches are amazing…
I also really like that you said “five score”
September 6th, 2006 at 5:22 pm
Am I the only on who thinks the term “finger mustache” sounds really sexual?
September 7th, 2006 at 12:04 am
This is definitely one of my favorites ever, guys. Love the wordplay, rhyming, special effects. Shit just keeps getting better and better.
September 7th, 2006 at 12:55 am
Hey! Don’t diss the term “finger-moustache”. I said it with good intentions, not malicious. It’s supposed to be a term referring to a thing of beauty. That is, hilarity. *sigh* The corruption of language…
September 7th, 2006 at 10:18 pm
‘Danny’ and Adam share a hat. Your budget is intense. I’m loving the sketches recently.
September 8th, 2006 at 10:35 am
Very funny sketch, good work.
September 10th, 2006 at 8:37 pm
28? 32! 89? 93! awesome
September 10th, 2006 at 9:55 pm
I like how Dave makes whiskers when he says kitty doors…lol
September 12th, 2006 at 2:32 pm
1. What kind of software do you guys use for the green/blue screening and the juxtaposition onto the corny images in the background?
2. Maya is hot.
September 15th, 2006 at 3:53 pm
Dave does one helluvan Abe Lincoln.
I’m astounded and amazed and flabbergasted.
Doors!
September 17th, 2006 at 9:08 am
Akira-
You’re right, Maya is hot. She’s also my lady (don’t cue crazytown).
September 22nd, 2006 at 6:29 pm
“How do I know you’re telling the truth??”
lol…
September 22nd, 2006 at 7:15 pm
*cues crazytown*
October 9th, 2006 at 5:42 pm

November 19th, 2006 at 9:01 pm

November 29th, 2006 at 6:24 pm

December 4th, 2006 at 10:25 pm
Hmm.. I thought they were superman boxers
..fingermustache
December 8th, 2006 at 4:39 am
I agree with everything everyone has said and would like to add: very nicely acted cameo by Castle Greyskull.
December 15th, 2006 at 3:51 pm
We are doing the door store for a forensics (public speaking) Skit
December 18th, 2006 at 10:11 pm

January 4th, 2007 at 6:21 am
I just want to let you know, that as a fellow film maker, I could never write such quick witted scripts…. yeah. Amazing stuff guys.

March 27th, 2007 at 6:19 pm
I’ve memorized almost this whole thing. I LOVE IT!
I performed this whole thing by myself in Drama class, we had to take our favorite sketch and re-enact it. Also, there were masks.
I got applause after, “If on your tour of stores with doors, if you find one that has five-score, then give a roar, and we’ll be sure, to have for you, one hundred-four!”
Mad laughter after, “You betcha, DOORS!”
April 6th, 2007 at 8:03 pm

April 12th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
