I can't decide if this is funny or not but I figured some of you would appreciate it.

I liked the one dude's influences: "Noam Chomsky, Neckface".  Kinda funny.  But longer than a Yes song.  Can't decide what's more irritating, hipsters, hipster-haters, actors, or actors-dressed-like-hipsters.

I did like "They're off!" though.

Oh whoops...  I linked to this here http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,756.msg13743.html#msg13743 (http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,756.msg13743.html#msg13743)
without knowing you guys already saw it.

I liked it because of its ambitious length.  I thought that was one of its strongest suits.  An 8 minute script that was very often funny.  That's hard to do I think.  Although a lot of the best comedy came as ad-lib from the color commentary guy with the deep voice.

And didn't you all think of Tom's story about being the guy being singled out in McCarren Park at the end of this video when they're mocking a guy who "doesn't belong" shot IN MCCARREN PARK?!

i caught this on gothamist and liked the modern twist on the old python twit olympics idea.  it reminded me of the web show 'the burg' where they basically do the same thing under the guise of a sitcom set in williamsburg.

the skit won me over when the announcers mentioned 'only if they knew he was a 9/11 hero'... 'oh they knew'.

Exactly!  That was priceless!
