Everybody can take a part of a film in a language the users aren't supposed to understand (but obviously do sometimes) and then add subtitles which don't have anything to do with what the speaker actually says. That's crap. Neither a good idea nor good comedy IMO. |
eh...I wouldn't go that far. There is definitely humor to be had in taking (and I'll borrow a phrase from Eddie Izzard here) a "mass murdering fuckhead" and putting completely out of character comments in his mouth, especially when you do it to recognizeable movies (recognizeable for some anyways). But there is a point when the shtick is overused and abused and just isn't funny anymore...thats not entirely what happened here as I think there was some juice left in the shtick...they just executed poorly...
I mean given the previous "Hitler is banned from Xbox Live" video I think they were smart to paint him as the Xbot/bad guy in this video and I think they had the basis for something funny..they just didn't follow through with any truly clever writing...they basically leaned entirely on the gig to be funny and it couldn't support the weight anymore.
