“Awww, maybe I will get laid tonight. …Or fall in love, whatever.”
xDD
If that whole scrabbleboard thing happened with me on my date I’d laugh my ass off.
August 4th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background?
August 4th, 2006 at 1:42 pm
beautiful!
hahaha. made me bleed just a little bit. x]
August 4th, 2006 at 2:02 pm
hey the video won’t work for me for some reason…it stops quarter way.
August 4th, 2006 at 2:04 pm
S-man, try reloading — it might work better now.
August 4th, 2006 at 2:08 pm
ah nevermind…thats a very “awkward” game of scrabble.
August 4th, 2006 at 2:24 pm
Wow…as a geek who enjoys scrabble, I have to say, this is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen on the sight.
August 4th, 2006 at 3:09 pm
wow that was positively fantastic. That was so funny. I think this is one of my new favourites
August 4th, 2006 at 3:39 pm
The song in the background is “The Owls Go” by Architecture In Helsinki off their album “Fingers Crossed”. There is also a sweet remix of this song by the excellent Max Tundra that James Bonds it up a bit (actually, a bunch). It might not soudn like it would work, but it totally does. For those who keep track, this is from the same album from which we got the music for Like Children… (”One Heavy February”). It’s a great album and like all music we use in our sketches, if you like it, you should pick up the album or go catch a live show!!! (Architecture’s more recent album “In Case We Die” is also extremely good, so check that out too!!)
August 4th, 2006 at 9:21 pm
“P-O-O…oh.” One of my favorite lines here.
August 5th, 2006 at 12:42 am
You nailed scrabble and dates, just like how you nailed privacy in public restrooms in “Bathroom.”
August 5th, 2006 at 1:15 am
Tssght, oh man. That was intensely awkward.
August 5th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
That dude totally scored.
HA!
August 5th, 2006 at 2:28 pm
Ahhhhhhh! I love OE!
August 5th, 2006 at 3:16 pm
LOL NOSE SEX!
August 5th, 2006 at 4:30 pm
Ahhh, Nose sex… we all know how that goes.
August 6th, 2006 at 12:07 am
XDXDXD
triple-XD score!
OE Wins!
August 6th, 2006 at 1:19 am
wow
August 6th, 2006 at 1:49 am
That Was pretty dang awesome, i wish i could connect that many words at once
August 6th, 2006 at 9:04 pm
“I don’t think nose sex is a thing.”
“It is.”
LOVED IT.
August 8th, 2006 at 11:28 am
I loooove that song I’m so happy to see it in one of OE’s sketches!
August 8th, 2006 at 2:03 pm
I’ve totally been hooked on Architecture in Helsinki ever since “Like Children.”
Pure. Awesome. Ness.
August 9th, 2006 at 10:43 pm
If he only used pain instead of poo…
August 10th, 2006 at 12:55 am
omg i haven’t laughed that hard in a long time
August 10th, 2006 at 8:53 pm
haha oh man I couldn’t stop laughing at that. And Ming, if he’d used pain then there would have been vaginas, or poontang, or nosesex.
August 13th, 2006 at 1:17 am
“Thats longer than on”
ahahhaha.
August 14th, 2006 at 3:18 pm
If you guys ever make it huge (which I’m banking on, so that my copy of Gorilla Warefare is worth BAJILLIONS), you’re going to have to pay huge royalties.
But fortunately, not for “Why Don’t We Do it In the Road?”
August 14th, 2006 at 7:37 pm
Awesome!
gspot and nosesex aren’t accepted in the official Scrabble dictionary, but poontang is.
I noticed the word qua on there too, nice.
August 19th, 2006 at 10:41 am
The song in the bg is “The Owls Go” by Architechture in Helsinki. Check ‘em out. They rule.
August 23rd, 2006 at 12:34 am
HAHAHAHAHAH
u guys should make a tv show
i swear
“OldeEnglish… on Comedy Central”
has a ring to it eh?
August 24th, 2006 at 12:31 pm
That song is by Architecture in Helsinki from the cd called Finger’s Crossed.
August 26th, 2006 at 1:10 pm
that was awesome.
August 27th, 2006 at 10:00 pm
Woah I loaded the cds of AiH, they are pretty awesome!
That means that when I’ll stubmle across one of their cd, I’ll buy it for sure!
They sounds like nothing I have ever heard!
Thank you guys for making me discover this band!
September 2nd, 2006 at 6:46 pm
ha nose sex, that video was kinda stupid, but it was mucho funny I LOVE YOU GUYS!
September 15th, 2006 at 6:25 pm
Really, really, REALLY brilliant. Oh my word.
September 16th, 2006 at 6:45 pm
genious
September 19th, 2006 at 5:05 pm
he put down vaginas completly with letters he already had,not using ones on the board. isn’t that illegal?
September 22nd, 2006 at 3:00 am
Good stuff, i get high too.
September 23rd, 2006 at 7:18 pm
Jesus that was painful to watch. Especially at the end.
September 25th, 2006 at 9:40 pm
So why isn’t this on youtube? It would make it a lot easier to share with people.
October 16th, 2006 at 5:44 pm
“it is….”
October 25th, 2006 at 12:17 am

November 4th, 2006 at 9:52 pm

cause when he leaned in when she said she didn’t think it was i thought they were like..gonna have nosesex..so i was dissapointed when he didn’t.
November 4th, 2006 at 11:39 pm
penis
November 5th, 2006 at 10:34 pm
aparently, nose sex is a thing…

November 5th, 2006 at 11:29 pm
I love his reaction when she says “we probably would have just fooled around” if they had gone to a bar or movie. Priceless expression.
November 7th, 2006 at 9:44 am
Hey! I met Julia during last week’s Philadelphia Improv Festival! She was fantastic and super funny. It was great to meet her. She’s even more talented IN person.
November 11th, 2006 at 9:02 pm
omg haha hilarious
XD
November 12th, 2006 at 7:53 pm
LOL. That video was hilarious. I laughed unbelievably hard whe nhe first saw the spot where he could put “vaginas” and all those words were hi-lighted. I almost wet my jeans over here. I recently discovered this site and now I’m hooked. Keep it up :)
November 15th, 2006 at 7:10 pm
Oh my god…Thats almost as good as the one where the guy and the girl are in the woods and it ends with “child molester”
top notch
November 15th, 2006 at 9:34 pm
hahah
i may get laid tonight
………….or fall in love, whatever.
November 27th, 2006 at 10:20 pm
DUDE! THAT GUY IS A KICK BUTT SCRABBLE PLAYER!
December 3rd, 2006 at 2:04 am
Architecture In Helsinki!!!!
December 18th, 2006 at 4:28 am
Nice…what about it?
December 18th, 2006 at 8:34 pm
Loved it.
December 18th, 2006 at 9:31 pm
Tied for first with food rap. Those two are what I use to hook my friends to this site- along with gym class if they are weird. Always works.
December 26th, 2006 at 8:35 pm
#1- It is legal to do what he did, because there’s no clear way to define making those other words having seniority over VAGINAS as the attempted word. if that makes sense ;)
#2- “Oh my God, that’s a big - - - - word”
#3- Do I hear the distinct sound of someone gagging directly after the last of the 3 “extra” words is highlighted and he says “Oh my God”?
January 1st, 2007 at 11:45 pm
^You think too much…
January 2nd, 2007 at 3:20 pm
xDDDD
January 2nd, 2007 at 7:10 pm
you guys are my heroes…if it weren’t for you me and my friends would never have started a sketch comedy thing…we saw you live, this would have kicked ass live…*wonders about nose sex* well, anyway…WOOHOO OE>YOUR PARENTS
January 3rd, 2007 at 11:25 pm
Haha, he could’ve used pain instead of poo
January 9th, 2007 at 11:27 am
not to be repetative of others comments, but yeah this movie rocked. many a laugh. the song was so very perfect for the occasion. slash the awkwardness.
thank you for sharing. this made my life.
scrabble playing-AiH listening-awkwardnessing- ppl unite…
save the koalas. kelly from AIH likes wombats.
January 18th, 2007 at 12:59 am
greatest thing ever: his face when he says poontang, you can he hes fighting laughter
March 19th, 2007 at 11:49 am
Hey … I just noticed:
Ben couldn’t have played “poo” using both his O’s, because it intersects with “roots” (at the second O). Now, I’m pretty sure neither “ro” nor “ts” are legal Scrabble words, but, even were they, he’d have gotten the 5 additional points for completing “roots,” which would be a total of 12, as opposed to the 7 Julia puts him down for.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:22 am
wtf this is soo funny. lol
May 5th, 2007 at 6:47 pm
O! M! G!
This clip CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I watched it every day for three months!!!!!!!! I memorized every line and my friends and I made a committee all about it!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL FOR MAKING THIS MOVIE AND MY LIFE!!!! WTF WHERE DO YOU GET SUCH AMAAAAAAAZING IDEAS????????? IM JEALOUS!!!!!!!
May 30th, 2007 at 12:53 am
It just seemed appropriate that this video would have 69 comments.
May 30th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
Know of anywhere in Brooklyn (or elsewhere) where you can go out and play scrabble? Actually sounds like a nice idea for a first date.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:07 am
“…it is.”
Four letters… one classic.

that is sexy
July 15th, 2007 at 10:13 pm
this is so funny!
October 4th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
What I want to know is how he knows “Nose sex” is a thing.
Not so I can duplicate it. It’s just that it doesn’t seem like the kind of thing you make up or hear about.
In any case, this video is totally awesome. Great production, I liked the stereo effects, the camerawork, the special effects and finding a good set-up for the Scrabble board must’ve been pretty hard. It’s not like this would ever happen in real life, right?
October 5th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
HA! I love this one… This time, it froze right after she said “If we had gone to a bar, we would’ve just ended up fooling around or something.”
lol… it froze on the look on Ben’s face!
November 14th, 2007 at 3:01 am
Were I the person on that date, managing to get down “Vaginas” “Gspot” “Poontang” and… and… “Nosesex” ALL AT ONCE would have substantially increased his chances of getting laid.
4.3.2.1.
January 5th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
i aparently wrote about this one before
but i find it so much funnier now
oh and nice job with “to” as a word in the game
and i cant belive nose sex is a thing
i dont think anyone would want to attempt it though
“it leaves and unpleasant smell”
