    This style of comedy was awesome when Chris Morris did it for Brasseye.

    This sort of parody has been done before, to better effect IMO.

    Why the need to point out the obvious and ruin the illusions for some ? Do you go around telling kiddies santa isn't real also ?

    The actor's name is Kevin McGahern. He's a comedian. He played Sim Card in Hardy Bucks. He'll also be in a feature film I'm co-producing that will be out next year called No Party For Billy Burns. Nice plug there, huh!?

    Wow, the passive aggression is strong with this one.

    What I suggest is go to your local video emporium find and purchase this.

    You do realise that comedy is split in to genres and doesn't have to be all about the same thing all the time? That would be boring. Imagine that! A comedy show...........with.............one.................joke (flicks passed Comedy Central).

    See the humour is self-aware, slapstick and self-deprecating. It's been done a million times before. The formula is there, but I feel that it (ahem) fell flat in this case. (Can't believe I used that term........ah well).

    Oh so THIS topic hasn't been done before then. I mean thats what the thread is about - not humour in general. You are aware that this particular video clip was an internet meme for the last year, huh ??


    oooo.....dilemma .....to signpost my sarcasm with a smiley face or not for the sarcastically challenged.....oooo what to do what to do....
