I'm afraid I was bought up in a school of thought that thinks 'Never Apologise for your art'. It just is.
That said this site possess a conundrum, Show case or Critique? And I have nothing against criticising something or differing opinions chewing a crud.
I have some sympathy for your suggestion nothing is funnier than the original, but that's often why they deliver so many avenues and paths for fun.(Theres a new show on: 'Jerry Springer'esq' where they get the guest to fight it out on a springy floor.. You can't make it up?)
I think Teddy gets the beef when he says a 'Dubbing exercise' a Mash-Up is the musical equivalent of 'Jam'
Digi some stuff in, play around with it, and shoot it out. Some times working fast can throw up some interesting Seendipity. Its just great to spend some time playing in edit sometimes, otherwise you get stale and end up like poor old 'Sootyj' who still thinks comedy has boundaries he can figure out and write into his Filo Fax.
Anyway thanks for feedback
AP Scene
Now that is an improvement. Neater shorter and most of the jokes coming from character as well as a ridiculous situation. e.g. defending about one of the most half arsed sketches I've seen a while. And then holding that dreary Hillsborough mashup (A Few Good Men, Filofax are you emailing from the 20th century?).
Nb 60 views I'm impressed no really.

Not sure where to place things like "Nice", where it was videos of people reading scripts - perhaps in the recycle bin.
With scripts, I allow quite a lot of lee-way for the author to later explaining 'why' it will be funny, and of course a lot of the piece still exists in his mind (actors, timing, atmosphere, music etc.).
However, this is the finished filmed piece, and thus shouldn't require a long essay on 'why' it is funny/good/satirical. At this point, the audience should be on his/her own to decide.*
* On occasions, maybe subsequently filling in a gap in the viewer's knowledge is OK (such as the 'white bicycle' thread below). However, if enough people don't know this knowledge, the creator has made a joke on 7% of the population will understand.
Showcase is supposedly for perfected works where you're trying to distribute them and publicise them.
Critique when you want feedback.
But well it's a comedy site so any sacred cows one step from a quarter pounder.
