Hannah (not to be confused with Hana) says:
I-R-O-N-Y.
is it possible that i’m the first post? liek no wai!
anyway, this is like a choir of castrated angels singing. ^.^
Jack says:
First comment!
I loved it… I loved it so much that I forgot how to type English!
Adam says:
Remember guys, since new commentors have to be moderated, it’s difficult to be sure whether or not you have the first post (unless, of course, you’re a regular commentator, in which case your comment should be posted immediately.)
Fimion says:
ZOMG! THE MAYOR!
Steve says:
I think the music really makes this sketch. It gives it a tone and direction that most sketch groups would not have gone with. It adds an eerie quality to the (required) over the top performances. The choice of an old black and white film at the end adds to that as well.
Victoria says:
Deus Ibi Est… nice choice.
Might I say, top notch line: “It’s like Shakespeare gave Walt Whitman a punch in the gut.” Loved it!
Oh, and BTW, FYI; Best Mayor Ever. I’d vote for him… even though I’m unsure of his political experience.
Ritcheyz says:
Heh. I liked the lack of props. Like that play whose name I can’t remember! Um…
Our Town!! That’s it. Don’t read it though, it sucks. CURSE YOU, SUMMER READING!!
Neal says:
Wonderful!!!
“Let’s make him the mayor!!11″
or something to that extent.
Katherine says:
Wow, in that first shot while it’s loading Adam really really looks like my 10th grade Chemistry teacher! Neat!
And Ritcheyz, I’m totally sick of people dissing “Our Town.” I love “Our Town!”
Weiss says:
Woo!!! my name got used in a sketch (surely coincidence but i can live in my own dream world that you used it cuz i post every so often). this one was worth the week’s wait
Ben says:
HA! Awesome!
What the rest of you don’t know is that there was a tape error, and the first five or so minutes of footage we shot was lost. Raizin made it work anyway, because he’s amazing.
Hooray for Raizin. He’s super. Just fantastic. Doesn’t suck at all.
Nicole says:
Aw, Jesse.
Spearljam says:
Digital orgasm.
stew says:
Tim says:
TWAS BITCH’N!!!
Craig says:
You guys have really grown into your craft. You used to be hit or miss for me but since I rediscovered you pretty much all of your more recent sketches have been great! You guys seem ready for prime time. BTW, let’s see more Hana- she’s freekin’ hilarious!
Shirley says:
you know OE has hit celebrity status when people are running around commenting “FIRST COMMENT!!!! OMG!!!”
Also, loved Jesse as Mayor, I’d defintely vote for him even though I don’t live in New York!
Paul says:
The music! What was it? Who did it? I need it.
Beautiful sketch by the way.
David's Mom says:
OE, how I missed you last week! So how many times did other people check this web site just in case OE decided to surprise us, last week, with a sketch? This film was definitely worth the wait!In this sketch all of you were the Father of All Assholes! Bravo! Great acting (even in the background David) as we’ve come to expect, you really do spoil us!
Jess says:
BTW FYI ASAP ROFL.
Ali says:
oh man it was sooo good to see Jesse again
and Adam got a haircut, looks good:)
not bad at first i thought they were being serious, not sarcastic
ha ha
cant wait to see more videos
Max says:
I played Mayor Shinn in our school’s production of The Music Man. Jesse’s a copycat.
Ria says:
Doesn’t make much sense w/o the sarcasm
Best part: When the paper blew off Mr. Weiss’ desk
Rocktzar says:
wooo new sketch :) That was realy awsome guys.
angela says:
hahaha love it.
Phsyco*Hush says:
hahah “i love you so much i forgot to speak english: jfhdltgjchfiguoretiuret” u guys so rock! it was worth waiting a week!
Zarkov Atreas says:
Yeah, great scketch. Didn’t mind having to mop myself out of the room, it was that good. Not at all. great. Best Sketch since Astronauts. Supertastic
Brandon says:
Woo, I love the hyperminimilism architecture.
mousee says:
that was the most sarcastic thing i have ever seen.
i think i love you.
Ashley says:
Definately worth the week’s wait. :D Jesse should make more special guest appearances; it makes a good sketch so much more whole.
And I especially loved David in this one.
Potato says:
MUSIC MAN!! MAX!!! I love music man. except when our school did it…it was…just a load of crap and I know because I was backstage…of course this was a middle school production way long time ago…okay I shut up now FANTABULASTIC WORK GUYS!
Geddy says:
Simply amazing.
Sergeant Nate says:
no real jokes persay but all the sarcasm was pretty good. Was it real i couldn’t tell…and is this potatoes guy above me gay? Gees fantabulastic? Man. I award u no points for that word.
feee says:
haha there were 2000 schoolbuses that passed.
oh yeah, and wherever you filmed this looks very familiar. I think that I have been there. hmmm…
Max says:
The correct response is:
What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Kevin says:
well worth the few days i spent longing for a new sketch!
Potato says:
such a brutal comment seargeant, but I shall look past it
Moochie says:
I’ve always wanted to know what Brad Pitt would look like wrapped in a Colin Farrell buritto and now that I know that it looks like Adam, I’m sated.
Great sketch as always! My days are happy again.
Ellie says:
Probably a bad sign that the part that made me laugh the most was “lousy assholes.” Yay Bard.
bethany says:
and i award you no points for saying i award you no points thats like the loseryest thing you can say besides fantabulastic
David says:
how ’bout that sketch huh? you bet!
Mr. Noodles says:
Ben. Is. Awesome.
So. Is. Caleb.
Even. Though. He. Wasn’t. In. This. Sketch.
Ben. And. Caleb. Are. Awesome.
YAY PUNCTUATION!
Holla says:
Wheres Caleb been?
Brian says:
Needs more Tugboat. A looooot more tugboat. Squeely nintendo music is great for my headaches. Really.
J-Man says:
1. That was fantastic!!! I loved it. Especially Dave’s lime green tie.
2. Another cameo from Jesse!? FREAKING SWEEEETTTTTTTT
3. Can’t think of anything else… so four/four!!!
4. Stars… in case you were wondering.
Kev says:
Adam, your face expression in the first frame… is priceless.
Kev says:
I, like Paul, am lost wondering where that music came from…
becky says:
i knew he would be the special guest! hooray hooray!
i liked this one quite a bit, though i was sad rairai disappeared so quickly.
Nate says:
Hey im totally the first comment!
oh wait…. no. :(
But nice skit!
Paul says:
The song is Deus Ibi Est from the album Ballad of the Broken Seas by Isobel Campbelle and Mark Lanegan.
Victoria actually recognized the song before I even asked the question. I just didn’t realize what she was referring to untill now.
h3lix says:
The writing is brilliant.
However, the audio isn’t very level. The voices are too quiet and the music too loud.
Aleksey says:
It’s great! Just what I needed to make today worth it. No, really!
And great Mayor!!! Ours is slightly balding and has a pedo-smile.
Kim says:
you guys are always so hilarious, and amazing.
Hipster Scum says:
-watches-
-still watching, the mayor’s long since on screen-
-…-
-0-0!!- JESSE NOVAK!!
Glad to see you, Jesse. And Ben, I love your comments, they always make me laugh.
Zoowart says:
Jesse, Oh wonderful person with the same last name as me… I saw that script in your back pocket.
Suki says:
Hahahahaha. Oh, Jesse. How we missed you. I miss Janos a lot too. =[
But anyway, this was amazing and great and probably the best thing in the world. I flew from Newark to Denver a couple days ago and when I saw the New York skyline the only thing I could think about was “HOLY SHIT THAT’S WHERE OLDE ENGLISH IS!!” You know you’re loved.
feee says:
hey, ya know what?! I know where that place is because I go there like 24/7! I know that is it!
Julia says:
Ah, I always imagined the Parks Department would be situated in a park. Great sketch- I lost it at the “parade,” which was all kinds of wonderful with the sarcasm.
Nice seeing Jesse! And now I’m going to hunt down the music, as it is amazing as well.
davids dad says:
just a happy proud dad did not know you knew jibberish just thought you were latin geman and pig latin

dad
Kyle says:
kickass sketch guys.
I loved it.
And hooray for the re-return of Jesse!
Rin says:
Why do you all continuously make my life?!
Timmahh says:
didn’t suck at all
Ron Newman says:
Hey Guys – I’ve been checking out your work for quite some time now – this sketch is outrageous! Some of your best work – the music, the comedic timing – surreal combination of shirt/tie/greatdoors – love the empty coffee carafe – what a hoot!
Side note to Dave from your old high school drama teacher – let me know when you might be back in town – we now have over 100 students in film studies – and I’m always pointing them to your site…….. it would be great to have you back to share your work – stay well – keep creating….. Ron
Greg says:
Jesse!
Jawsh says:
The birth of the glove?
Chaz says:
“hey, i’m so in love with u i 4got how 2 speak english hdhsgbgjdsbjhbgsj” is a great lin
This was an awesome clip.
seargeant nate says:
god post #38 my arch enemy potatoe spelled my first name wrong. Can u believe it?!
seargeant nate says:
oh wait no i did sorry
scott says:
Luckily I’m not so starved for entertaiment that I would call this anything but crappy. Pointless drivel with a mildly humorous side (and I’m being very generous) would be an appropriate way to describe this waste of Immature high school psuedo-film freaks might call this good-but it really isn’t worth watching. I have gotten more enjoyment watching my toenails grow.
Jimi says:
the music is Deus Ibi Est for those who are lost
Rock Rox my sox off!!!!!
Holla says:
scott youse a bitch
Luke says:
scott you fucking loser shut up. These are the coolest people ever, and this is the coolest website ever. Olde english rocks. I come one here everyday. Also this sketch is sweet guys you all kicked ass specially dave
Jones says:
it’s good, but your eyelines are all completely off and it makes it confusing. great stuff as always, but you’ve definitely made better
Pierre says:
“And your voice, its like a chorus of castrated angels…”
Man I love you guys. This skit was friggin’ genius, I have no idea
how you come up with this stuff….ridiculously awesome…that’s all I got
Valerie says:
Ahahvajodhf! Jesse!
Tyson F. says:
Even if they were ass holes I would still totally take all that money Dave was throwing.
sergeant nate says:
poor adam
Spamlet says:
Colin Farrell Burrito, Shakespeare and Whitman and the stock footage ending were all priceless. Great outdoors office premise, too
Katie says:
I love Dave. He’s so awesome, and funny. he perfected his role as the asshole co-worker. well done!
Zeriose says:
OMG AHAHHA I WOULD PICK UP THE $20 BILLS!!
GlenGlingo9 says:
That guy who plays the mayor reminds of some1 i know at school
GlenGlingo9 says:
U guys R great will U B my friend?
christmas says:
This may be my most favoritest sketch ever in all of history.

Jubul says:
What a classic, I honestly think this is my favorite OE sketch ever created. it’s perfect! and Jesse is in it! YAY!
James says:
I think an interesting way to look at it is that they’re not being sarcastic at all, but they’re acting like they are. I mean, the mayor did come to the park, Dave did throw a $20 bill at Adam, and apparantly he did get a parade. If not for the cards that tell you right off that the Parks Dept. is full of assholes, one might think they were being serious. That’s my two cents.
davana says:
oh WOW that was SUCH a GOOD video!
(no seriously)
B Lane says:
one of the funniest shorts I’ve seen recently…wait…wait for it…no…yeah…yeah, no it’s one of the funniest shorts I’ve seen EVER. You guys are hilarious. Keep up the good work. Don’t let me down.
B Lane says:
Oh yeah and scott (#70) needs to loosen up a bit. Sure it’s mindless but it’s hilarious acting and pretty good writing. So stop taking comedy so seriously.
Lilly says:
i found it hilarious and the music was really cool.
Aaron says:
How come Jesse lowered his voice and said “You bet” a second time?
Mr. Tom says:
zOMG FIRST POST!

Emily says:
“I really love all the typos it really gives it flavor.” Hahahaha…..
Sam Bass says:
98 (now 99) comments and all of them are positive, everybody loves this – you should put it with the other videos (not in the vault/supervault), it definitely has stood the test of time and always will. Isn’t it obvious? Its about as close to perfection as anything can get. :) Nicely done, guys! Seriously read all the comments, all the positive comments, all 99, and consider…
