You guys are awesome…I wish Hana would come back, though.
October 17th, 2006 at 10:39 am
well THAT was thoroughly wierd…and everyone knows that queens sucks.
October 17th, 2006 at 10:48 am
Adam, you are a god.
October 17th, 2006 at 11:20 am
It’s no Brooklyn, but still better than Statten Island.
October 17th, 2006 at 11:27 am
Thank you for including Eddie Murphy in both the icon and in the sketch. What a strapping man. Also what liquid was Adam pouring out? Apple Juice?
October 17th, 2006 at 12:10 pm
Is there anything Adam won’t do?
keep it up guys.
October 17th, 2006 at 12:30 pm
Hahaha that was awesome guys!
Please tell me you guys are going to do one of these for each of the NYC boroughs.
October 17th, 2006 at 12:51 pm
Hey guys. I’d appreciate it if you stopped saying “HAHA I LOVED THE END! Especially when they said [insert punchline here]“.
It isn’t necessary.
Thanks!
October 17th, 2006 at 1:25 pm
queens is great! except for all the queens :(
October 17th, 2006 at 1:54 pm
Isit wrong that adam was dressed up as a queen, or isit wrong that im aroused….
October 17th, 2006 at 2:41 pm
If my life included more people dancing while dressed like royalty it would be happier.
October 17th, 2006 at 2:48 pm
tru dat, Charles.
October 17th, 2006 at 2:58 pm
Yeah but is queens getting a true-life????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
October 17th, 2006 at 3:06 pm
that was very brave of adam.
Why is Queens called Queens anyway???
did queens used to live there or something?
October 17th, 2006 at 4:01 pm
Adam makes a good queen…
October 17th, 2006 at 4:42 pm
NO! Since when has a queen* lived in the US???
Brooklyn is Kings County, I think Queens was named to go with it.
*as in a ruler
October 17th, 2006 at 4:46 pm
ha. EXCEPT FOR NOTHING!!
haha.
October 17th, 2006 at 4:50 pm
My favorite part was totally the end and the punchline. “Queens is great!”
October 17th, 2006 at 4:52 pm
Very intresting… I LOVED it and I love Queens too!
October 17th, 2006 at 5:03 pm
not to sound like a lush, but i’m pretty sure that was a bottle of oe.
w00t for malt liquor!
October 17th, 2006 at 5:25 pm
Haha, I still like one picture, one day best
October 17th, 2006 at 5:25 pm
That was awesome!
Did you put this video up on a Tuesday?
GASP!
October 17th, 2006 at 6:06 pm
Let hana do the girl parts. Making Adam doing the woman parts just makes him look more of a girl in his regular skits.
Your slipping guys, Sorry.
October 17th, 2006 at 6:32 pm
So, seriously, when is Adam going to do an Alton Brown sketch?
October 17th, 2006 at 6:33 pm
monty python would be proud of you, adam
October 17th, 2006 at 6:43 pm
lol Awesome.
“The ripe age of 14.”
xD I actually showed that to one of my friends and when I started laughing hysterically, he asked why it was funny. o_O
October 17th, 2006 at 6:43 pm
That looked like a 40 of OE. Well spent.
October 17th, 2006 at 6:49 pm
for some reason all of you guys’s hair looks real nice in this sketch. i dont know why.
October 17th, 2006 at 8:08 pm
it’s good, but i liked the brooklyn one better.
Two boroughs down, three to go….
are you doing all five?
October 17th, 2006 at 8:32 pm
We’re like Sufjan Stevens on a much smaller scale!
October 17th, 2006 at 9:30 pm
Haha! A sufjan stevens reference! :O oh happy day…… he’ll never make it if he keeps making CD’s that aren’t about new states. You guys, i think, can do it. Look forward to the series of 5?
October 17th, 2006 at 9:45 pm
I wish Hana played the queen. Adam was just freaky as the queen…I of course mean the good freaky
October 17th, 2006 at 10:28 pm
That kind of sucked…
October 17th, 2006 at 11:18 pm
wow, just wow lol
October 18th, 2006 at 12:15 am
Hana rules but it wouldn’t be nearly as funny if she played a queen. I don’t know about anywhere else but crossdressers have always been called queens from where I live. and the accent was awesome
October 18th, 2006 at 12:30 am
hahaha thats is not what i expected at all! thanx for suprising me all the time u guys
October 18th, 2006 at 1:06 am
Where has Hana been, anyway? We should see more of her in sketches.
October 18th, 2006 at 3:52 am
You hate Staten Island because of us, don’t you?
Just kidding! This was an awesome! Queens isn’t as bad as people say it is though.
October 18th, 2006 at 8:17 am
Poor Raizin getting harrassed like that. I like how you used that picture of eddie murphy from that one movie where they go to Queens to find a Queen..yeah.
October 18th, 2006 at 11:04 am
ok…soo……..
Seriously…. where is Hana? What have you done with her? and Caleb, for that matter…. Have they run off together?
October 18th, 2006 at 2:46 pm
I like Adam’s dancing.
October 18th, 2006 at 3:03 pm
yeah what happened to Hana and Caleb?
this one was, interesting
c’mooonnn, you guys are now lowering it to like twice a week
i knooowww you can do better than something like this.
and you guys dont even say”its still better than staten island”,
you did in the other
October 18th, 2006 at 3:16 pm
A 53 second spinoff of a different sketch… I’m honestly disappointed. :/
October 18th, 2006 at 7:12 pm
lol yellow ass teeth.
October 18th, 2006 at 7:26 pm
Man, saw you guys on the featured on Youtube!
Happy since you got some good advertisement
Sad since this site is gonna get more crowded, we’ll need more bathroms…
Oh here comes the alcoholism that ensues!
October 18th, 2006 at 9:07 pm
Spend more time writing your shit. Terrible.
October 18th, 2006 at 9:08 pm
Im guessing the 40 was an olde english bottle, obvious if it was, inspiring if it wasnt.
And whens “Staten Island Sucks” or something similar coming out?
October 18th, 2006 at 9:09 pm
Loved the zoom in.
October 18th, 2006 at 9:18 pm
That is an awesome queen costume… You guys have been using some pretty nice costumes like the penguin and the beer can.
I wonder what I should be for halloween…
October 18th, 2006 at 9:24 pm
That was amazing. These past three sketches have been amazing. Looks like 2 a week was a blessing in disguise! :)
October 18th, 2006 at 9:34 pm
well at least it wasnt boxer vs. raptor.
October 19th, 2006 at 1:22 am
haha very monty python-ish. but not as good as the brooklyn one. :/
October 19th, 2006 at 7:38 am
It would be cool if, when you post the videos, you could put who is in the video right beneath it….people who are new to you guys (like me) can have a hard time figuring out who’s who.
October 19th, 2006 at 10:59 am
I wonder Adam, did you gain a sore throat from this sketch?
October 19th, 2006 at 2:27 pm
Love! Love love love!
And silly people…using Hana as a queen would defeat the purpose!! A queen is a crossdressing man! Hana would just be a girl in a silly wig and an accent.
Which would still be funny. Cause it’s Hana.
October 19th, 2006 at 4:19 pm
its good…but its no paganini…
October 19th, 2006 at 5:35 pm
yeah, notta to good
October 19th, 2006 at 6:10 pm
its not bad… but ya the brooklyn one is better:P also i think adam makes an awesome queen, hes the prefect guy for the job. (thats supposed to be a good thing.) Liz boxer vs rapter rox and gretchen just to let you know there is a bio page on the left and a photo gallery.
October 19th, 2006 at 6:12 pm
but i agree it prob wouldnt be a bad idea if you put there names in under it. GO ADAM YOU FOXY QUEEN
October 19th, 2006 at 7:23 pm
Oh man, i feel some adam feaver coming on
October 19th, 2006 at 9:44 pm
Ben do you actually have a brother? cause i was watching a show and there was a guy that looked like you and kinda talked like you
just wonderingg
October 20th, 2006 at 2:25 pm
My computer cant play the quicktime pieces :(
You should load this onto youtube. . . just to make me happy
October 21st, 2006 at 10:07 am
Hahaha raped by a prince (and we liked it that way) thats a good one.
October 21st, 2006 at 6:08 pm
As a resident of Woodside, Queens, I can definitely verify that everything stated by Queen Adam is 125% true. Sometimes.
October 22nd, 2006 at 1:58 pm
Disturbing….
But Funny. Staten Island is going to be pissed soon…
October 22nd, 2006 at 6:33 pm
hey post #22 is right, i think this came out on a tuesday. Is that a sin?
October 22nd, 2006 at 10:08 pm
I am physically attracted to Adam now. meooow.
October 22nd, 2006 at 10:23 pm
what’s with all the bitching about hana? adam was perfect. poo heads.
October 23rd, 2006 at 12:15 am
“EXCEPT FOR NOTHING”
Pretty fuckin’ funny.
October 23rd, 2006 at 2:43 pm
more videos please!!! it’s been too long
October 29th, 2006 at 3:40 am
Let it be known that this is officially the last video of the summer-video-almost-every-day spree!
We will miss you… summer-video-almost-every-day spree.
October 29th, 2006 at 6:18 pm
This is the best skit so far. “The queen is great! Except? Except for nothing!” I like when Adam raises the roof. Fuckin’ hilarious.
November 12th, 2006 at 1:36 am
Funny, but I’ll have to disagree with cooper. OE’s funniest moments are in Pokemon Day, I think. Or First Date… Hell, there are tons of ‘em.
November 16th, 2006 at 8:42 pm
Damn it! My computer won’t let me see this sketch for some random reason and you didn’t put it on youtube…I’m going to cry…
November 28th, 2006 at 3:12 am
hey sadholes! put up some new videos… please.
December 8th, 2006 at 6:02 am
The only part I liked in this one was the tippin’ the 40 to her dead homey. Should’ve ended it right there. Someone mentioned Monty Python but their cross-dressing characters were never this shrill. More annoying than funny especially since the queen bit begs to be a one shot gag. Can’t blame you for wanting to get your costume rental bucks’ worth. Much too repetitious though. Desperately needed variety. Ah, well you can’t win ‘em all. Everything else I’ve seen here was pretty hilarious.
December 14th, 2006 at 3:32 am
this one’s like 2 months old!!!!!! where’s the new one?!?!!?
December 15th, 2006 at 10:04 am
Yay, Great, Now I godda look for Queens here. -.- Awesome, First Zombie hunting, now Queen torching! I love New York
December 18th, 2006 at 4:02 pm
aw I miss Queens! All of them! See you guys at SketchFestSF, yay!
December 21st, 2006 at 10:29 pm
hey not to be mean or anything… but you said you’d be back to updating in november or so and you still havent… i just miss you all! your stuff is so cool!!!
January 4th, 2007 at 1:41 am
the only one that made me laugh……
January 17th, 2007 at 2:17 am
Is this it? is it the end of olde english? why did u guys stop making videos… DON’T QUIT ON ME NOW!!! DON’T QUIT!!! >
January 20th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
It actually helps me.. the whole “that was hilarious! especially when…” thing. Since english is not my native language it helps me understand :P
January 25th, 2007 at 8:13 am
Did you shoot this in Sunyside, Queens? i used to live in LIC/Queens Plaza, the next stop on the 7 train going to Manhattan.
January 26th, 2007 at 2:24 am
i like the historical fact of middle to lower-class women being raped by princes.
reminds me of chaucer. :’)
February 4th, 2007 at 7:48 am
I finally managed to see on youtube. Good very good
February 4th, 2007 at 7:50 am
According to the 2006 archive this was the last one of that year. Please olde english do some more for 2007. And bring everyone back!
February 11th, 2007 at 11:44 pm
hahahaha the queen
March 9th, 2007 at 10:51 am
Hilarious, as about all other you do. xD
