Yeah, again, I got nothing funny. But hey, it was great to see Jason send in some sketches again.

Chevy Trucks: Prateek told me about the basis for this sketch a while back, and I enjoyed seeing it. It did a nice job of skewering Chevy's attempts to pander to the heartland, with some nice jabs at how they secretly hold blue-collar middle Americans in low regard. I like sketches that deflate or expose pompous, arrogant individuals or corporations.

The Threshold: I would have loved to have seen this acted out. The way the problems just kept compounding and Jim's refusal to put his wife down in spite of it all were great. The best parts were his attempts to get the robber to unlock their room, his inadvertently calling Kathy heavy, and the fire alarm at the end was a nice way to wrap it up while screwing him over even more. Welcome back, Jason.

Press Your Luck: Another good one. The tragic circumstances that each of the contestants suffered were quite amusing, and Peter Tomarken's reactions to the Whammys taking their money were great.

Good Psychiatrist: Didn't really appeal to me that much. I didn't really find the patient's admissions to be that funny, and the revelation that the guy at the desk wasn't a psychiatrist was a little predictable. Sorry.

Pepsi, Pizza and Landscaping: A good "idiots miss the point" sketch. The monkey ending was great.

Wizard of Oz auditions: A little hard to follow since you didn't mention who in the cast played which part. The dialogue wasn't really that funny, the director was hostile and rude without being humorous. Plus, a Michael Jackson reference is kind of dated. Sorry.
