Hey funnies,
It would be good to know what you think of my latest sketch I put out today.
Thanks in advance!

Feedback required for new sketch (video)
I liked the start when you were shouting at the Houses of Parliament with a loudhailer and calling them a bunch of paedos. Some of the other stuff was a bit weaker, imo. But yeah, pretty good in places.
Thanks for the feedback... It would be really helpful to know what part you thought were weaker?!
i felt that the part where you were with the 2 guys was too long. I felt a bit uncomfortable watching that bit, for some reason.
maybe knocking on some tents and interviewing the people inside would have worked. make out like you're all in the same boat and then slowly lace some of your more extreme views into the converstaion.
pretty good though, enjoyable on the whole.
Thanks guys, really appreciate it.
I enjoyed that.
I'm not sure what that guy was criticising. I thought it was pretty hilarious. However, I do agree that it would have been even funnier if you interviewed people in tents. Also, one aspect of his mannerisms is slightly similar to the handicapped character in Facejacker, so I would avoid the stammer (the best word I can find to describe it). Other than that, hilarious! You have the character down to a good level, enabling you to improvise and react to what's happening around you, and it works fantastically well. Like when a protester shouts "stop killing everyone" and you say "if you keep killing everyone, there'd be no one left". You also make the character quite endearing, completely oblivious to the fact that he is ridiculous, but I think you should build on that, as it really works (as opposed to making him a piss take). I.e. he heard that they were killing babies, but got the wrong idea. And playing the sad music afterwards as he walks away. when he airs his views about other things that he thinks the parliament are responsible for, like putting the unmissable scrapheap challenge on More4. And my personal favourite "women should be making sandwiches, not war. What the hell do you think you're playing at?" that was pure genius. The self righteousness works very well. Most people that come to protest don't really have all the facts down, so I am sure that if he probed them deeper, you can get some great material. Great work mate, great channel altogether. The porn comments one was pretty good, although I think you could play a bit more with the accents, so that they are more normal, and unlikely. The Northern Irish one was perfect!
Wow BJ Thank you sooooo much, everything you said I totally agree with.
That sort of feedback is invaluable to us in these early stages, I really can't thank you enough!

I thought it was very very good. In fact, I thought it was brilliant.
I've sent you a PM with a question.
