A Meeting with Bob - This sketch has two interrelated problems...one, the premise has been done over and over, and two, because this is the case, it comes across as adding nothing to the premise. In sum, the sketch is very "plain jane"...I'm expecting something radical to happen within such a common premise. There is an amount of originality in the boss sexually harrassing the sexually harrassed, though, when in real life you'd expect the normal, lawsuit-fearing manager to quickly try to appease the woman making such accusations. Also, there are some funny moments. I like the general manner in which the boss interacts with the woman, and the fan on the crotch, as if he has to cool himself down. That's great! Another great line came when he immediately expects the "three-some"...just excellent. Also, the McDonald's one is great. The ending is appropriate...and funny. Good job, overall...but I'd get more dangerous/unpredictable with a premise so ubiquitous.

Dracula Brand Tampons - This is an excellent commercial parody...much better than some bull crap about Count Chocula having health problems or whatever. I loved the visuals/actions, and the writing was superb. The only part where I saw improvement as being needed may have been in the catch-phrase...or slogan, if you will. Yours is a little too common..."Tampons from a name you can trust"...nah, you can come up with something more clever/original than that.

Road to the White House - This sketch was mostly random things thrown to paper, with few of them being particularly clever or funny. I liked how you depicted Bush talking to Latino voters...but I didn't find any humor in Kerry quoting song lyrics. I liked how Bush differentiated between the Dakotas and the Koreas, but the whole approach to this segment of the sketch was random and mundane. I'd stay off the political stuff for a little bit...widen your horizons.

The Casino - This is, like, a seven or eight minute piece with no discernable premise, sense of building or heightening, or overall direction. It's just Trump and a guy in an ape suit running around a casino. Maybe the visuals would be funny...but overall, I think an audience would find it so pointless, random, and long that they'd quickly lose interest.
