British Comedy Guide

Funny short sketch

Hey People,

I've recently come across these two British comedians who host a web show on YouTube. Their videos are really entertaining and so I'd though I'd share them with you.

Here is their channel with all their videos: http://www.youtube.com/bakerbrothertv

Share your thoughts on them below :) x

Here is their newest video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArmBFCAKbGc

How to produce a contemptable video that'll make people hate you.

1 Post in the wrong section of the forum. It's not general comedy; put it in critique or if you're really confident showcase. Until the forum provides "a load of shite" thread.

2 Pretend you accidentally came across this stinking turd and just want to share it. And didn't create it yourself. This is the equivalent of stepping in fresh dog shit and river dancing on someones new white carpet.

3 Make that fresh dieased dog shit, from Cerberus the demon dog from hell. And replace the carpet with a floor made up of babies.

4 Now make sure the video is awful. Careful now you wouldn't wanted the least scintilla of talent to slip through. A collection of bad accents that sound like what would happen if a parrot watched an AdamS Sandler movies remade by chimpanzies is a start. But careful you're not so bad you're good.

5 There you go. Well done you really are contemptible now why not go off and suicide bomb a Justin Bieber concert.

6 Forgot to mention using caps in the title thread for no good reason.

7 By being so youthful you force me to pull my punches which I hate.

8 You are so contemptible you're not contemptible, you're totes contemptible you don't even merit the use of the full world totally.

Don't let my daughter hear you say that about her beloved Justin

I beg your pardon, how dare you bring his mother into this! I sir am scandalised ;)

Just saying sootyk, you really took the time to respond with all that? Wow.

I have a preprepared response for every crappy self indulgent post.

It's like a Bat utility belt of scorn.

Besides you filmed and edited that piece of crap.

So now who's wearing the sticky pants?

I haven't yet watched your video so I'm not in a position to judge its quality but I will say this: there's little worse in terms of forum etiquette than signing up specifically to post a link under the pretense that you just happened to "come across" it. If I've just described you, yet you're looking for a genuine critique of your work that might lead you to you improving, my recommendation would be that you come clean and start over. People tend to appreciate honesty.

Im not sure which one of us put it better Bussell.

You have honesty, but I have colour.

Maybe Justin Bieber should go off and suicide bomb a Baker Brothers sketch shooting? Haven't made my up yet.

Sooty, be nice to newbies.

BakerBrotherTV, what amazing coincidence you share a username with the very same link you stumbled across and are now sharing.

soots and Buss' are right though. No need for the false pretence.

Well, BakerBrotherTV...

FUNNY SHORT SKETCH [Must Watch]

You do know that this is a comedy forum, right? So funny short sketch... Hmm, that's like going to a cookery forum and posting a thread called FOOD RECIPE.

But the real clincher is that old Must Watch bit.

From my experience, that is a guarantee that it will be shit and just makes me not want to watch it. So I won't.

I guess I'm old fashioned like that.

Now what was that old adage about not laughing at your own jokes?

Similarly, it's not wise to proclaim your own work to be funny. It's a real turn off.

Let other people decide for themselves.

Or not as the case may be.

Fair enough.

Out of charity I watched a bit of your vid and I now see that you're youngsters so I'll let you off.

As this thread is now in Critique, here's some constructive criticism.

Stick with it and don't give up, although your accents need working on.

Good luck with your films and comedy.

Apologies for being so blunt in my last post but bear in mind what I said.

Nice to see a couple of very young kids having a go, not the greatest video but given your age its a decent start and if you stick at it then it will get better.

It's plain to see you're only about 14 so as far as the criticism goes I would advise you to take that with a pinch of salt.

If it does bother you then take a leaf out of my book and take the time to read the sketches put up by those giving you the stick so you can evaluate their own work and establish if you're actually worried about what that type of person thinks.

I find that works wonders, some have produced stuff were you think 'That's very good' or even 'I wish I'd done that' they're the ones you act on.

With others you might be left thinking 'Cheeky f**king dickhead' these types put shit up time after time. They then seem to spend the rest of their time giving out over the top wholly unfunny stick in order to big themselves up to other members.

It's just like the fat kid in school who steals sweets off the smaller kids to give them to the bully in order to make their own life easier, they're the ones you completely ignore.

Or if your more proactive like me then you punch the fat kid everywhere and then volley it in the head.
You can then knock f**k out the bully with a leg off of piece of furniture as you shout 'Where's your stool?'

Nb no its in the correct section.

Your film is quite well filmed maybe its just the improved technology but the sound was clear. It was quite well filmed etc. However it suffers from the problem of most podcasts poor scripting and a lack of surprise. You need to write your jokes in advance and you need to twist expectation. Perhaps one of you does impersonations of silent stars or cats whatever.

Nb watch out for people who falsely praise your stuff whilst having. A massive rant at other users. They're invariably trolls and their advice is rarely much use. Being tied up in issues of bitterness' jealousy and lack of talent.
