It's rare that I see something that takes me past admiration and into jealousy.
But oh good grief, does this ever do it.
the last time was in SNL's Chronicles of Narnia rap. I was so angry at myself for not having thought of the "dropping Hamiltons" line..
But this is just genius.

I know this is gonna make me a killjoy, but while I did like this, I would have liked a tighter, shorter version of it a whole lot better. The first thing that would have gone was the whole Kill Bill music montage, which isn't very funny and is really, really dated. You could have shaved a minute and a half off the thing right there, and it would have been much improved for it. I fear that bloated, never-ending SNL skits may have seriously fucked with a whole generation's comic timing forever.

AHA! I thought something about it seemed familiar.
Obviously this is this generation's Lonely Island.

They need to make this into a feature film. See also Sexual Roleplay.

I feel I am about to have a sudden revelation about the nature of Horse Ebooks. Eagles. Ebooks. Horses. Peobooks Eaglahorsoboopeeps.
Just me? Oh well.

kittens for breakfast, if this is indeed an NYU thesis film, they were required to make the running time over 15 minutes. I thought they actually succeeded in sustaining the comedy and did a much more brilliant job than the usual SNL skit where they beat a joke to death.

Coincidence? I think not...
Okay, hawks ain't eagles, and it's pink spray paint, but hey...

Also, never saw "Lonny" before and they just scored major points with me for the subtle nod to The Jerk

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Well, then, yeah. I too had to write the occasional 5000-word paper that would have been a great 1500-word paper. I'd still like to see an edit! Or, barring that, a feature. This could really go either way, I think.

In the vast world of funny internet videos this is a 5 or 6 out of 10. But if you've ever suffered through a film school screening, this is the most amazing video ever.
