what attempts at jokes there were, were poorly executed
mega 64 continues to have awful comedic timing
Tedious is a pretty accurate way to describe it.
Many of the jokes are actually pretty funny. It seems like when they're coming up with the idea for the video, it's a pretty good one. The problem arises when they take a two minute scene to tell a ten second joke, then spend the rest of the time either repeating the same joke, or just not really doing anything.

Oh, sorry they can't have the fucking comedic timing of a webcomic.

Well, after the last episode I said I'd give em one more shot. It was tough, but I finished it, by darn it, and now I won't feel bad or be curious about never watching another episode again.
They're right about the list, but a post would have been more effective, and as far as I'm concerned they were using zombies as much as the things they complain about.

Like what was the joke? Zombies are popular? So is making an amateur video and thinking everyone should see it.
I would tighten up the timing - that should have been 4 minutes tops.
Make the main character (I don't even know his name) actually scared of the 'zombies', running from them, hitting with his car.
When he gets home, one friend should have been eating brains, like out of a cereal bowl or something.
Main character freaks out, shoots friend.
Friend B comes into the scene, "So you going to the zombie wa...' Gets bitten by zombie friend a.

Raneadospolice apologistyou shouldn't have been there, obviouslyRegistered Userregular
nobody in this thread has quit their jobs to make silly videos with friends and make money off of it
not saying you have to like these but i find it funny when people come into these threads and try to tell Mega64 how they should make their videos
After making these things for YEARS and still doing the same things wrong over and over again (dragging the joke out for way too goddamned long), you'd think they would eventually learn.
Or maybe the soup itself is fine, but the waiter takes one step, waits 10 seconds, then takes another step, and keeps doing that all the way to your table
I couldn't really make it through all of the video, but if the Mega64 guys are reading this, here are some ideas you guys could work with:
Most importantly, add more jokes! I understand what you guys were trying to do here, but it just didn't work. You were using the same joke over and over and honestly? It became too predictable to hold my attention.
Know your audience. I was actually kinda shocked that you had a whole sketch about zombies and didn't even mention anything like pirates, robots or even friggin' ninjas! Come on, people, this is the interwebs, you guys seem nerdy enough to know what meme is big at the moment, just work with it.
This is more of an addendum to the first point, but you might want to look into the possibility of making more sketches per video. This will give you a lot of room for more jokes since there would be more than just one scenario.
That's about it, if you want more input, just hit me up with a PM!

Zombies.
They sure are popular, amirite?
What's the deal with that?
Or airline food?
try again
Why are you so adamant about this.
even by pop song standards it's pretty awful

you are so, so wrong
god damn
uncultured swine, this forum
Holy shit.
your mom
MichaelLC, he just doesn't get it.
I assume you also find these videos funny...
Hey look you got the joke.

Still kinda funny, though.
Sketch comedies usually have jokes yes
No matter how much you all complain, there's still gonna be a new Mega64 video up here in a few weeks.
Good job internet heroes!
I liked the first one a bit though I just think this is kinda funny.
