Sigh. That.....should be funnier than it is....

Sarcasm is an allergic reaction to stupid people.

Was that supposed to be funny?

Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!

I though it had it's moments, I loved the end and the cocaine bits. I don't think BwayAbridged has had a truly hilarious script in a long time.

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

oh yeah, well that was funny, but still not as hilarious as their old material

You're right. I mean, the old ones had me peeing myself. I wish he came into our lives sooner.

I love the Little Mermaid one. I think it may have almost made my $30 student rush ticket worth it.

Yeah, so not funny.

It wasn't funny because Road Show was actually...good.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious, however I haven't seen Road Show. I hope it isn't that accurate because I can't see how Road show can be *that* bad.

The comment about "Bounce" at the beginning of the Assassins abridged was also hilarious.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

I'm dissapointed there was NO reference made to the sharing of the sleeping bag bit.

This site has failed to make me laugh every time they publish a new one.

Fair enough. I wrote this one in 15-20 minutes the night of the show, right before going to sleep. I didn't even edit.

Everybody on this thread is right about everything they said.

Except jv92, you're wrong.

Oh am I wrong? Really? Prove it.

I can't prove your opinion wrong. It's an opinion. That's just absurd. Why are you provoking me?

not particularly funny, and I thought Road Show was great, you can't just say jv92 was wrong about having an opinion on a show

Just read Little Mermaid and I thought it was funny, and I actually like the show.

Nah, I was kidding. I don't think he's wrong about liking Road Show, that's an opinion.

I don't think people find it unfunny *because* Road Show is good, however. That would be akin to saying that anything that makes fun of something Good won't ever be funny.

Seriously...look at the other shows he's written about on his website. Most are amazing. Something doesn't have to be bad to be made fun of.
