YouTube Sketchies: Round 2 Is Icky Poo
What Makes Poke Laugh? June 23rd, 2007So the second round of the YouTube Sketchies contest is underway. The top 10 vote getters from round 1 were asked to submit a second sketch.
Sadly, this round pails in comparison to the first round, IMHBACO.
Worthy of Poke’s Praise
Jeremy — a funny premise and well executed — from Very Angry Neighbors, makers of Home Time
Groundhog Day — at first I was like, ehhh…then I was like, okay…then I was like LOL — from Secret Circus Comedy, makers of Global Awesome
FriendBuddies — a funny premise, a little long for my taste, they should check out Jeremy to see how it’s done — from Awkward Pictures, makers of Waffle
Worthy of a Giggle From Poke
Mad-Lib Answering Machine — a good idea, but the payoff doesn’t have the punch that it should — from jackbenny, maker of News Team
Hammer Time! — it’s absurd, and I like that, but the real reason it’s not down below is the balls it took for them to mock the other entries — from horseheadbusinessman, makers of Brainstormers!
Worthy of Poke’s Disdain
Affirmation Girl - My Body is a Temple — She’s a cute girl, but this is an old idea, not to mention, she shouldn’t be in this contest because she has a job on MadTV — from Lisa Nova, maker of Keira and Johnny! Behind the Scenes - Pirates of the Caribbean
The Next One — I don’t get what is funny about this — from Shake State, makers of Borats Anonymous
Google Earth — it wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t enjoy their own acting so much — from Chocolate Cake City, makers of Ketchup
MERMAN-King MAH DOO! Episode 2 — lack of creativity — from Phonz (is he related to Dreamz from Survivor: Fiji?), maker of , SURPRISE, MERMAN-King MAH DOO!
Stop Saying Bro — this joke has never been sketched before — from Faction Film, makers of Most annoying cell phone ever
It annoys me that Lisa Nova is part of this competition. No, the rules don’t state that you can not be affiliated with network shows to be eligible, but it’s a bit unfair as she’s been featured in news stories and has gained a large fan base, that is obviously voting for her.
I was hoping this contest would give us a new GREAT sketch comedy group, but right now it ain’t lookin’ so good.
Right now, I’m cheering for Very Angry Neighbors, Awkward Pictures, and jackbenny.
