LoadingReadyRun: Snake Oil

[Denamic]

How do I give you my money?
I'm pressing my wallet unto my screen, but the internets seem to incompatible with physical objects.

 

[BrotherRool]

His reminds me a bit of the Invention of Lying... before it became half an hour of Ricky Gervais telling everyone that he doesn't believe in religions...and forgetting to be funny whilst saying so.

... so in that respect you came up with a much much funnier sketch than a guy who gets films deals. I particularly loved the Kathleen bit, it just capped the whole thing (Also love the outfits, how come people looked so much cooler back in time?)

 

[AngryMongoose]

Awesome costumes today. You should wear those in the next commodoreHUSTLE. If fact, you should wear those all the time. From now on, you're not allowed to wear anything else.

Oh, unless you don't want to look, y'know, AWESOME.

 

[JSW]

He should've diluted the snake oil more. The more you dilute it, the stronger it gets.

 

[Callate]

And don't forget the ever popular "if there was something shady about this, someone would have put a stop to it by now."

Brilliant vid, LRR.

 

[Darth_Payn]

This video was one of the funniest I ever saw! I love the old-timey talk with "Bugger the snake oil!" Well done, sirs.

 

[Imp_Emissary]

I always heard about snake oil, but never what it actually was. Thanks for teaching me. Now I can just make my own instead of buying it!

 

[flaviok79]

I can't believe the production values you guys put on these videos! You are raising the internet video standards, for sure! Plus, I love it!

 

[Ohlookit'sMatty]

This is some damn fine writing here Graham! The end was a bit weak but the stinger more than made up for it

I love the costumes/clothes on this one

 

[Blackout62]

Clearly Graham's character was a man ahead of his time. Just wait till those poor rubes have to deal with the singing, dancing, performing, snake oil salesmen, it'll a be a Harold Hill Hell.

Steve Jobs ancestor!

Well, it was a shiny bottle of gutter water.

Oh sure, you can get ANY snake oil for free, but will it have the same health benefits as Snake Oil brand tinctures?

For free it's half as good at twice the price.

I adore your costumes for this episode. The setting was awesome!

The business ethics of the olden times were not different, they just didn't know how to market.

 

[scw55]

I can't help but find the sketch familiar? Was it inspired by a Mitchell and Webb sketch?

 

[Scud422]

And thus, homeopathy was born.

 

[The Random One]

A genius so far ahead of his time. I weep for the invetor of marketing, Ron Marketing.

And thus, homeopathy was born.

One million parts water to one part dirty water?

 

[Waaghpowa]

There was an amusing Dilbert strip that reminded me of this.

I think it's an obvious dig at Apple and Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs ancestor!

I was also thinking this.

 

[Dooly95]

Well, hey, they sell bottled water now, so we may not be smarter than those poor chums...
