Round 3 Rank in Sketch: 1st
This was great - bizarre, fast-paced, laugh-out-loud funny. Excellent use of hand-held camera to heighten the energy.
Round 3 Rank in Sketch: 2nd
There were a lot of funny jokes in this. And I liked how stylized it was. But there didn't seem to be a clear thrust behind it. I wasn't sure where it was going, which made me hope for a payoff in the end that would tie everything up. And although there was a kind of twist at the end, it wasn't a big enough pay off; it kind of felt tacked on and, unfortunately, a little predictable. The scene felt more like a series of jokes than a sketch.
Round 3 Rank in Sketch: 1st
I really enjoyed this. You might try and get a bit more light on the situation, it's a bit tough to look at. You do a great job of balancing the tone… the shifts between loud and quiet are great work. "God bless." That's a wonderful capper.
You guys should have won. Sorry other people were more devoted to making up fake email addresses to vote the you...
Well if Bob Dylan likes it...here's my 15. Send 'em, judges!
haha, gotta agree with livia on this one - nickondick is obviously a rookie. but um, nice "verbiage," dude.
Oh gosh, poor Nick! You probably don't get the jokes in Dr. Strangelove, either, right? Frownie face! But don't despair, there's plenty of stuff out there for you to enjoy, like try maybe chipmunks + farts on YouTube.
Vote vote vote I vote for you I vote for you. Vote vote vote.
YOu crazy Nick. TROOP! owns it.
Aren't sketches supposed to have jokes in them? The main thing I noticed about all three of the sketches you've posted on this site is that they are all action-driven sketches that are not cleverly written at all. There's about 1-3 jokes per sketch (and I don't count smashing things that have a giant bug on them as jokes)... If I lived in LA I'd go to your show... I'd really like to see a sketch where you guys prove you can write, because right now you're riding on fancy website making and camera skills, and actors running around in stressful situations.
Hahahaha! Brilliant! A friend just sent me this. You've got my vote.
It's theatrical, the photography kicks fucking ass. It mentions zombie hitler. I don't know what more you could want. Go Troop go!
Regardless of what else anyone says about Troop, you are a group of classy, classy gentlemen (and lady). It's been fun being in the contest with you guys, and I'll do my best to make it out to your show on the 11th.
Thanks much for all the votes, tigers! If you're in the LA area, TROOP! will be up at The Laugh Factory on the 11th! Check out troopdotcom.com for all the info. Huzzah!
you guys rock i love it go troop yippee
Dice Clay, lgobs? What are you talking about? And why are you being such a dick?
Hit it, TROOP! This is the best.
I don't know where all this love for this hunk of crap comes from. This sketch sucked badly. The jokes weren't funny. Back in the mid 1980's it was funny, like Eddie Murphy and Dice Clay. Well I think that proves my point. This sketch was horrible and all these people tugging at your balls doesn't mean shit. There's no wonder you are in 4th place. It should be 5th.
I heart NYC and I heart TROOP! Puttem together, judges!
Another awesome post full of wit and irony. Thank you for your patronage.
