Well now it's in the right place.
Ok the good; you're engaging enough performers, you're confident, you don't mumble and you engage with the camera. Seriously that puts you ahead of most of the people doing podcasts.
Your filming is pretty damned good, clear sound looks good etc.
The problem is you've got no real jokes or scripts at all. So it's just you well being you. And comedy is all about subversion or surprise.
And you can only do that by preparing material better. You being teenagers doing funny accents is well something you could see in any school playground (granted these days that'll most likely get you arrested).
So if you're looking for advice here's my two pence worth.
1 Start doing just daffy voices Texan etc.
2 Then on the third impersonation twist it. Maybe one of them does a teacher "I'm Mr Jones and if you don't tell anyone I killed my wife you're all getting As"
something funnier than that.
3 or use some editing stuff to over dub one of you with a really good voice.
Basic stuff really. But its the twist and the surprise where the joke lies.
