So we've been making sketches for a while now and we're looking for some general comments about what we've done so far.
Thanks.
Retrospective
Hi Mikey Here's my critique in the British Comedy Forum style.
Point One - You can't write for toffee!I'm miles better than you!
Point Two - Call that acting? My cat's a better actor and he doesn't even exist!
Point Three - Your so-called camera person and so-called director should be shot preferably with blunt bullets.
Point Four - What's funny about any of your so-called videos you complete and utter bastard!
Hope my constructive criticism is helpful and obviously I am completely detached and objective and want everybody to do great.
Now , back to reality. Keep doing it . You've got more chance of something substantial from it than 99% of these numpties.
ouch
Not bad, most of your ideas seem to be quite simple and straightforward which is a good thing.
And you definitely seem to know where you're heading.
The only thing is being so simple and straightforward, then most of them could be shorter. Say a minute rather than 2, or you could work on having sub jokes or funnier lines.
I like them, the acting, camera work and editing is great. I would also say that maybe they could be a little shorter.
Eastern Brides and Disneyland North Korea were worth watching, but I found the sketches a bit weak.
Thanks for the comments guys.
Jaicee - cheers for the positive comments. I do think sometimes people are a bit negative on here but it's just the nature of the beast.
Sootyj - We did our first live gig recently and it was good to hear an audience's reaction and I would agree with the length issues on some of them.
Stonked - Could you be a bit more specific?
Carlos Manwelly - Thanks, enjoyed your 'appeal' for acting lessons video!
These are made for no money and by people who all work full time jobs, so I think we're doing ok but there's certainly room for improvement!

I watched all the sketches, but the only one I really liked - and after just one viewing I can still remember it - is the one set in the library. I thought it was nicely paced, had strong visual gags and was well acted.
But I can't remember much about any of the other sketches, which essentially is my point, I suppose. They just didn't grab me.
