A new series on Youtube: People who can’t tell stories right (they’re actors, but perfectly simulate different types of bad storytellers)

[The best, by which I mean worst, example](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIFy0rM3bvA)

From a Cafe Society perspective, I find these hilarious.

From a general perspective, I find them hilarious because we all know people who just CANNOT tell a story. My ex father-in-law, who is a kind and wonderful man, couldn’t tell a story to save his life. He never seemed to know how to emphasize the parts of the story that mattered.
