This one will really help you understand who he is. I went into his classroom, dressed as him and took over his classroom. http://www.personal.psu.edu/students...ge7/page7.html Watch IV Also, as ridiculous as it may be, Boris actually likes these videos. He has seen every single one and he enjoys them and says that I "do a hell of a job with the impression." Go figure>>>>>He is crazy. "We are reviewing some 9,000 recent UNHCR referrals from Syria.

Makes slightly more sense now, but it still seems like your video is an exageration about a personal thing almost. I'm assuming that is where you went to high school and you had him as a teacher?
He didn't seem extremely amused with you interrupting his class for one thing, but the main thing is he was YOUR teacher *I guess*. It's like me making a character about Mr. Hess (my high school physics teacher). Does that mean anything to you? You can't laugh at a character based on someone you don't know because you don't know the intricacies about them. I'd imagine this is really funny to you and your friends, but for everyone else it's just an inside joke that leaves us with our heads askew and brows furrowed. |

If you and your friends think it's funny, I'd say congradulations, but as always your premiere at AN wasn't met with warm reviews. All in all, I understand what you were trying to do, but don't feel it went across well because, well like I said, made no sense, and nwo I definitely think it was because we didn't have the background on this character. At least if it was an exaggeration of one of our beloved teachers (honestly many of my high school teachers wouldn't need exaggerating ) it would be funny. Heh, I had photoshop open, and I'm up before 6am because I went to bed early. I guess I have time on my hands, what can I say? Edit: yes I spelled comedy wrong…before someone points it out Last edited by ast3r3x : 2006-05-10 at 08:32. |

Well, you're modest about it all at least.
However, when you have to go and point it out (and "hard-sell it" to such a degree), it does lose some of its natural, "like it on its own merits" charm... On a related note: are we stuck in some sort of freaky AN repeater loop? I know this has to be at least the twentieth version of this particular scenario: 1. Chris makes something he finds funny (video, audio, etc.) 2. Many here simply don't see the humor, for better or worse 3. Chris goes into hype/selling overdrive to convince everyone it's great, and that by "not getting it" the problem lies with us. Chris, if we went to your school and attended your same classes and knew this fella and saw all his quirks with our own eyes, if might ring a bit funnier. It's a bit distant and "in-jokey", that's all. Doesn't mean you're a bad person. Just quit beating people over the head - again - because you're not hailed as the second coming of [insert favorite comedic genius here]. What do you want?!?
