Paper Bag - This was an enjoyable jaunt through the bar scene and its potential perils...most of which, like here, will involve something you said. The line at first from Dave about meeting the woman he loves, divorcing his wife, hugging his kids goodbye...priceless. I don't get why the paper bag guy would request, nay insist, on having a blindfold, though. He's already trying to shy away from this task...why would he want to make it more difficult? Also, him retorting soon after with the well-known phrase "I'm not as think as you drunk I am" really didn't make sense to me. Maybe I'd have to see it and get to know these characters better for that line to be believable at that exact moment, I don't know. The "your hands are in good hands"...this sounds like a line that should come out of Dave's mouth, not Chris'. These awkward moments are well forgiven, however, if you imagine the visual of a guy squirming around w/ a giant paper bag over his head. The ending was fitting...very funny. Nice work.

Man + Dingo - Punctuation and grammar problems hurts this sketch for me at times...it's a wacky idea, and funny to boot, simply because I appreciate the creativity, but the aforementioned snafus seem to make nearly any sketch awkward, especially in terms of the dialogue. The dick jokes were original and creative...even if this type of humor is hardly new...and I found myself chuckling at such terms as "drunk driver" and "Limp Bizkit". The ending is where the sketch gets strange, which is good in some ways, and ungainly in others. First of all, why would he lie about the dingo in his pants? It makes no sense, and just makes the thing longer. Also, one part of this sketch is too long. Whether it be the part where he meets Trump's character, or the part where he meets the girl...one is taking up too much space. I would say you shorten the encounter w/ Trump's character. Overall...very wacky, weird piece that I don't think many people could have written except for you, JP.

It Had to be Snakes - Geez...another weird sketch. I love weird sketches, though, because if I think it's weird, then I think it's damn creative...because I feel like I've seen it all in comedy. The whole situation had me chuckling from the get-go, but when the snake starts eating his master, I don't quite know whether I'd still be laughing or not. The visual may be excellent...but I think the funny (at least on paper) is found in Forte's odd interactions with and reactions to the snake. Nice ending...very fun.
