With ominous background music and foreboding distant thunderstorm, two old men reconstruct a silly internet slap-fight - making it fancier and therefore even sillier. It’s called [Youtube Comment Reconstruction #1](http://youtu.be/MxrWuE5qC5c), which I hope means we’ll be hearing a lot more from this Statler and Waldorf duo. ---

HA! That is awesome! You forgot to mention they have British accents, which makes it even more dramatic. ---

Huh, I thought from the title that this was about those James Earle Jones/Malcolm MacDowell SPRINT ads that I can’t stand. (I suspect **aruvqan** did, too, and didn’t click on the link) ---

(I suspect **aruvqan** did, too, and didn’t click on the link) I have seen 3 or 4 different ones - the one about the tickets, a couple about friending [that one is the first one I saw, it is really cute] and this one which is the he’s gay one.

Awesome. Reminds me of the [dialogue from Jersey Shore, done in the style of Oscar Wilde](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhk5Rjz7xk0), that was making the rounds a while back. ---

Everything about that video is just top-notch – the lighting, the direction, the cinematography and especially the acting. But they really should fire the scriptwriter. ---

It’s just a video someone made and does not have Malcolm McDowell and James Earl Jones in it. ---

What part of 3 or 4 different ones is incomprehensible? It doesn’t matter, they are all ‘cultured actor reads facebook postings’ format youtube postings. I saw one where they were arguing about some guy being gay [musician?], an argument about asking for tickets in a facebook posting instead of personal message, and one with James Earl Jones and someone else X wants to be a friend, friend. Y wants to be friend, friend, Z wants to be friend … silence. So, I have seen them, OK. Sheesh. :rolleyes: ---

Sheesh. :rolleyes: The point being made above is that they _aren’t_ ads, which you stuck to in your post about “3 or 4 different ones”. Look, nobody likes to admit they were wrong about something before watching it, but lighten up.
