I'm sorry you don't find our sketches funny, but without having actually seen any of our work, how can you judge the calibur of humor it really is. I mean, almost nothing sounds very funny when you're reading an outline of it. The real humor is in the delivery of the concept, which we do a pretty good job of, considering we have no money and we are all under the age of 18.

I mean, take the outline of the movie "The Waterboy". Which seems to be a comedy favorite of yours, judging by how you named yourself after a character and quoted it:

A man who serves water to a college football team discovers he has a talent for tackling people, due to the rage he keeps inside himself.

See, it hardly sounds even mildly amusing. But when you see Adam Sandler screech and charge at the opponent you just can't help from bursting out into laughter. So, like I said, wait till you see the final product until you judge how funny the basic outline is. Then, if you still don't find it humorous, just leave us the hell alone. I enjoy the comedy I write, however bizarre and unfunny you may think it to be, and that's all that really matters. If our style of comedy doesn't appeal to you then so be it, find something else to watch.
