Best to remove this before you get complaints.

Yup the first one is definintely too close to the bone. It might work if it was shorter, but currently it feels sadistic more than funny.

2nd one I liked the quick chat about AIDS followed by a lethal punchup. But the gunfifght dragged on and the discussion with the Dr dragged on.

Overall I'd say you've got some great ideas, but make your sketches shorter, your acting isn't so great and above all don't go for the offensive stuff automatically.

I didn't particularly like the sketch (incredibly long for a punch you can guess in ten seconds) but I wouldn't ask the poster to censor themselves and remove it.

Well I'm not asking them to self-censor, I'm suggesting it is the wisest course of action, given that at best it won't win any prizes IMO, and at worst it will bring them vitriol, at which point they might well choose to remove it anyway. So it's best to remove it right away.

I think the vitriol will do them good. A bunch of guys in their early twenties should know what happens when they gang together to present a series of rape jokes. Let the audience do the talking I say.

Not so much the Accused as THE AMUSED.

Ah, I was wondering what the fuss was about.

They are not rape jokes, they are jokes on the axe and coca cola zero commercials and we use rape to prove our point.

And thanks to everybody for taking the time to watch and comment

Sorry, but if it's got rape in it it's a rape joke. Ask yourself who the victim of that first joke is. Sure, you take a stab at Axe commercials but you still end on a battered and raped woman lying unconscious/dead in a subway tunnel.

I thought the first one wasn't funny. Good production values video wise.

It could have been funny if you just had the men all chasing the girl but then something funny happens. As it is, no. Crap. In fact I can't imagine what the f**k you think you're doing with the ending on that one?

I'll try the next one.

Better. I think you have the potential to be funny. Maybe it's a cultural thing. These vids may be the funniest thing since sliced *insert whatever Norwegians use for bread here* in Norway but they need work. It might be funnier if you spoke in Norwegian and used subtitles? The sound was horrendous btw compared to the video production. If you are going to make a big effort with the video then don't forget that the audio is just as important.

I'll try the third one.

F**k me, rape again. No boys, try and look elsewhere for your gags. I like the idea of spoofing commercials and you produced this one well, but not with rape, not funny. Unless you're dorks?

Can't end on a downer, I'll try the fourth one.

Much better this one. It made me laugh. I'd cut a bit more in the edit to shorten it though, but not by much. I quite liked the acting in this one. The girl was good, and for once, wasn't assaulted or insulted! Well done! Remember boys, be respectful to girls, even in comedy videos!

Btw mock France in your sketches, not England! Or Aaron will have you!

:)

P.S. Given the quality of Nowegian TV (which just has to dire, right?) you probably have a good chance of getting your own show in due course!

I've only watched the first one, drawn by the fuss. :)

It's not funny, it's just depressing and makes me feel sad. And whether you mean it to or not, suggests rather worrying undertones of what you think of women. Is that what you were going for?

Quite well shot though.

God I'll have to watch it now :(
Actually no, I repect my peers judgements.

Good call Frankie 4 is excelent and such a nice flat.

It really benefits from losing the shock factor and going for wit. Not to mention the subtitles some how make if funnier, they're kind of an unusual twist.

Yes watched Four - laughed out loud. :)
