Given how emotionally exhausted I was when I came to this Farce Side show, I was relieved to see such a solid offering of originality and overall creative humor, with just a hint of nostalgia.
"Role-playing librarian"
There are many who love to role-play, but it's not a great idea when the woman playing a librarian just happens to sniff paint.
Sadly, this one was brought down by a somewhat slow pace. I felt that it simply didn't move fast enough.
"Good idea, Bad idea"
For those who are not aware, this sketch was based on a recurring segment from the popular animated series "Animaniacs" that ran from 1993 to 1998. If you saw that series, this sketch provided a nice touch of nostalgia, but this one was hilarious even if you didn't see Animaniacs.
In a nutshell, we are given a "Good idea" followed by a "Bad Idea" relating to what came before.
If this does not end up in the "Best of" show, I will be very disappointed.
"I voted"
So, Fisch plays someone who's so rigid that he won't even free up an I Voted sticker to save someone's life.
In my head, I was saying, "Oh come on!" several times, not because I didn't like it, but you think the guy's just plain stupid. The humor was ridiculous, but I ain't mad at it.
"Bob Dylan's phases"
Another top contender for the "Best of" show. Mike Skarsten plays the titular character, while Richie is Scott Stapp. I'm not the biggest fan of Creed, but I'll overlook that here.
Loved it!! Both Skarsten and Richie accomplished a great one. Skarsten managed to switch between Bob Dylan's phases well enough.
My final score is 9.25 out of 10.
