Okay, maybe I don't know shit about what is or isn't funny, but the whole "guiliani really put the mayor back in america" bit was FUCKING GENIUS in my opinion.

It's funny on more than one level which is quite an accomplishment.

Think about it:

1. it's one of those delayed laughs because you think to yourself "there's no mayor in america"... and then a few seconds later you're like OH WAIT, LOLS. Those are always the best laughs because at first you think there is no joke and then it just suddenly hits you.

2. it's funny because it's making fun of shitty american spelling.

3. it's funny because in certain thick american accents they actually pronounce America as "AMAYORICA".


Shit. That's a 3-pronged laugh attack. I've heard your 911 bit 2 times previously, but this time was easily the most solid, and you had some new material added to it that was even funnier than the old stuff! Man... if this is any sort of indication of things to come, I predict your new material will be 24 karat gold.

Alison, my apologies for not knowing the intricacies of your YouTube posting habits.

Given that it was indeed a weak criticism (as though, say, September would have been a better time to make that joke), and that I was no fan of the judges at all that evening, I'm still not convinced that Layne Mitchell was completely behind his own comment. It seemed as much a "I know I didn't think it was great, but I can't think of any concrete criticism other than this" as anything else.

Of course, I could just be standing up for lazy IT dorks.

(In any case, the eagles yelling "FREEDOM!" kill me.)

Well not to play devils advocate but I read what Matt and Alison had to say and then I watched your performance Matt. Don't know I actually did kind of find it boring, I mean you have really good stage presence, you are confident, and you really know how to stand up there and deliver(sic). Hmm... material i don't know even knowing ahead of time what your material was about I found it not really engaging. It could be funny but I don't know for me it didn't come across as funny, maybe a few chuckles. That is just me though I have a weird sense of humor and you can't obviously make everyone laugh. Definitly work on it more and I think you could go far.

re "didn't you post a video before?"

Paras, sometimes, i just straight-out copy something from someone else's blog or whatnot... i don't know how to do it myself... and i still can't watch most of everyone else's videos, so i figured just making a link ought to be okay...

i do know how to do the html for links...



oh, and Matty Moo... sometimes people just aren't smart enough to notice obvious statements... i mean, really... Sonic, smart? i think the closest they come to smart would be that they start with the same letters... they're just another pop-radio outfit, especially since they sold themselves off...

"i don't think they realised that you were slamming 'holidays' in general... and really, what better day to talk about creating another consumerist holiday than on Valentine's day?"

Thanks Alison, I'm glad someone got it. That's why I don't listen to Sonic.
