Featuring the wonderful, multitalented Julia Segal.
A huge thanks to the Stone Park Cafe in Park Slope for letting us film in their gorgeous dining room. Incidentally, their food is amazing.

I Love.

Did anyone besides me giggle uncontrollably at “run you foolish fool, run!”?
September 20th, 2006 at 11:58 am
I can’t decide if I liked this better live or not. This was awesome. I LOVE YOU GUYS!
September 20th, 2006 at 12:03 pm
This is really impressive. A really funny one. Goes into my favs with Urinal Change :)

what is that climactic music from?
September 20th, 2006 at 12:39 pm
that was great, is that Davids sister? Shes very very pretty, she did well in the sketch, anywho, nice one guys
September 20th, 2006 at 12:45 pm
Great job, guys. This is a new favorite.

“And the knife, its smells…SHARP”
September 20th, 2006 at 2:23 pm
Glad to see this replace “No Sketch Today.” Liked the camera work and music/sound effects. Nice additions to the live version, although I also enjoyed watching the glass break the (first?) time the sketch was done.
September 20th, 2006 at 2:51 pm
Yes, Julia is indeed Dave’s sister.
September 20th, 2006 at 3:49 pm
LOL, great twist ending…
September 20th, 2006 at 4:09 pm
Good sketch. Better than some, lately. It’s nice to see Ben some more (loved “Dearest Isabella”)
Hey Dave, is your sister available? >.>
September 20th, 2006 at 4:13 pm
genius!
September 20th, 2006 at 4:14 pm
Unlike wine, the newer sketches continue to be better.
September 20th, 2006 at 4:22 pm
fabulous actress inventive dialogue cool place to eat how do I hire the actress
remember to fast

This sketch conveyed extremely well from theater to film (the setting in the film was much more romantic). Now I can watch this brilliantly written sketch over and over! Ben spilling the wine on his shirt (mimicking blood) really added to the tension of the story! Adam and Julia responded perfectly both verbally and non-verbally. Julia you are talented and beautiful, I hope to see you in another video real soon!
September 20th, 2006 at 4:33 pm
I think I missed half of it because I was laughing so hard.
“A knife! It smells…SHARP!”
September 20th, 2006 at 5:58 pm
He was just reading the back of the bottle…psshhh.
It was great to see more of Ben’s pathetic crying [ such as in "No Dwelling" ].
September 20th, 2006 at 6:18 pm
Heh. Knife odor.
Awesome sketch guys!
September 20th, 2006 at 6:40 pm
My sister, my mom, and my girlfriend, you guys know way too much about me all of a sudden. Blunderbuss, your comments offend my honor, prepare for a duel.
September 20th, 2006 at 6:44 pm
“i can smell the hot sun beating down on her, its giving her sunburn” “ahhhhhhh”
i like how he can smell a whole story from that glass of wine haaa
this one is one of the best of the new ones lately.
nice job guys
as i always say keep’em coming
September 20th, 2006 at 6:58 pm
I love how Ben pronounced “bruschetta” correctly.
And that stain is /not/ coming out.
September 20th, 2006 at 6:59 pm
Great sketch! The only good point in what is otherwise a dreary, miserable day for me…

Subtle jokes for the win:
“…and if I may say so, it has aged, *mwah*, super.”
I want Frankenberry wine, right now.
September 20th, 2006 at 9:11 pm
What’s with the CW ad at the end of the sketch?
September 20th, 2006 at 9:53 pm
There are really no word to how hilarious I think this is, so I’ll make one up. GASPERALISCIOUS!
September 20th, 2006 at 10:01 pm
It probably woulda been funnier if Dave was the wine guy, but it was a great sketch nonetheless!
September 20th, 2006 at 10:17 pm
Girls a cutie.. funny sketch
September 21st, 2006 at 12:32 am
Crazy eightss by tapes ‘n tapes, if I’m not mistaken.
You guys have great taste in music.
September 21st, 2006 at 12:42 am
I love how it’s not wine, but cornsyrup blood that goes on Ben’s Shirt. Fabtastic. Keep it bouncing.
September 21st, 2006 at 1:51 am
superb work julia. well played. great job on the editing as well fellas
September 21st, 2006 at 8:02 am
Wait…David has a girlfriend? Buahahahaha. :-P
September 21st, 2006 at 3:50 pm
Loved it, and yes, your sister did well, David.
September 22nd, 2006 at 12:47 am
To be fair, she didn’t really have alot to do. She did do that much quite well, though, so… congrats to Ms. Segal.
“Is she available”… hah! The audacity sometimes!
Were the bottle labels actually so well-written, I might be convinced to ignore the taste and start drinking wine :)
September 22nd, 2006 at 1:34 am
dumb ending
September 22nd, 2006 at 10:33 am
Worth the wait. Well done.
I could have used less text and less rushing in the beginning, but the end made things worth while.
Unlike John G, I liked the final twist.
Ever thought of putting on a fake label, one that either folds out or unrolls (to accomodate the amount of talking)?
Again, good job.
September 22nd, 2006 at 6:30 pm
Love it! I think it’s even better than it was live… the dramatic music is SWEET.
pretty awesome. lovin’ it, as usual
September 25th, 2006 at 5:27 pm
That was too good.
As a matter in fact so good I will drop a boingle on the movie itself and proclaim my love to it in binary!

This is so python.
September 30th, 2006 at 8:04 pm
It smells like cranberries, raspberries, boisonberries, pimentos arugala with just a hint of sawdust.
I TOOK NOTES CUZ IM AMAZING
October 8th, 2006 at 8:51 pm
Huzzah! You guys finally made this into a sketch!
October 16th, 2006 at 10:24 am
Hah, all that was on the back of the bottle?
I bet the girl put it there in hope that someone would see it and come to her rescue, but the old man in the hat saw it first and knew he had to silence her faster.
October 25th, 2006 at 6:22 pm
Wow…that was hilarious! I love all Adam’s reactions! I had to stifle my laughter with my sweater! good times…
November 2nd, 2006 at 6:30 pm
it smells sharp.
November 3rd, 2006 at 1:01 pm
..and he has a knife! and it smells…SHARP!!!!

November 11th, 2006 at 7:20 pm
Amusing the whole way through, but the last line pops this sketch up into a class of its own. Nice job.
November 12th, 2006 at 11:50 am
hmm, well i haven’t posted,and that’s a problem, and i’m 15 and already drinking wine now, which is also a problem. btw my wine smells of strawberries cantaloupe and slightly of a freshly printed report about segregated sports (it was fricken 1600+ words)
P.S. I realize im really not going anywhere with this.
November 14th, 2006 at 1:11 pm
ha… this is very funny.I love it.
I am live in Taiwan (Asia)
my friends all love it.
November 17th, 2006 at 2:27 am
I love how she’s totally fighting not to crack up as she hides behind the newspaper.

December 11th, 2006 at 5:54 pm
I was so enthralled in the story… so did the old man in the hat ever get caught?
As a wine country resident I demand an answer! This man cannot be allowed to run free through the hills of the Napa Valley!
December 20th, 2006 at 3:10 am
Just discovered you guys last night. I’m really loving everything so far. Keep it up, I will spread the word.
December 21st, 2006 at 7:07 pm
as a former wine store employee, one who got a kick out of walking around and laughing at the descriptions on the bottles (who wants to buy a wine described as tasting like asphalt?) I truly, truly appreciated this one.
January 11th, 2007 at 2:03 am
I followed you guys over here after finding some sketches on youtube. I am so glad I found you! My sister is a wine snob so I had to send this one to her. Anyways, you are all brilliant, and I’ve watched so many of these sketches now that I think my eyes are going to bleed.
Just…one…more…
January 23rd, 2007 at 7:14 am
It smells.. SHARP! Hehe.
April 3rd, 2007 at 9:03 am
hahahaha it was amazing!! absolutely one of the best!
April 27th, 2007 at 11:40 am
thefuckisupwiththatambient?!?!
(or, said nicer: was the room noise always that loud?)
April 18th, 2008 at 11:40 am
What a great sketch! Reminds me of a Sommelier I once had.

lol.
