Thanks Alice

I just want to say that we had a lot of fun making this video.  I dont' know what was more hilarious; watching each other act out these scenes or watching the people that walked by the window in Hicks wondering what the hell we were doing with sock puppets.  Thanks Alice for throwing out a paper and a final so we could make an obscene sexual video with puppets, we really appreciate it.

This movie was absolutely

This movie was absolutely hilarious! There were some parts...I am sure everyone knows which ones...that were really over the top. But through the, um, sexual parts, there was a clear message and relationship between all of the books

Sock Puppets

This is my group. I thought we created a fairly accurate representation of the books we used. We wanted to make it humorous, which I think we accomplished based on the comments and reactions in class. The best part about this was the filming in Hicks and watching the faces of people walking past the room we were using to do the filming.

Quite the shocker

I thought this movie was really funny. It covered the majority of the books and it kept my attention. It was of course a shocker when it got to "those" parts, but I couldn't stop laughing.

Sock puppets rule

I want to shake the hand of the person (or persons) who thought of using sock puppets to depict the most awkward sexual moments in the books that we've been reading, word for word.  I thought it was a brilliant idea, and hilarious to watch.  Also, the chalkboard backgrounds were funny.

Could not have laughed any

Could not have laughed any harder. Even though it was a bit erotic it still had a good amount of content. Thanks for the laugh whatever group that was!

funniest video ever

This was a hilarious video.  I was mad that it was first because we do not go until the end of the week.  I thought it was over the top, but in a good way; assuming that the viewer has read the book.

group project

i thought they did a good job of sticking w/ themes throughout their presentation. i thought it was really funny. my interpretation of the books was similar to theirs. racial issues and lots of sex

Surprisingly this exotic

Surprisingly this exotic video did have a related theme to the books that we read in class. I would have to agree with others who have mentioned that people that have not read these books would not quite understand why this video actually makes sense. Very funny video.

Very funny movie and yet it

Very funny movie and yet it still had a central theme from our books. Good choice to use the sock puppets, I found them very entertaining.

hilarious!

This video was like a feel-good representation, let us poke a little fun at the book we've read. You would definitely had to have read the books to find it funny though. i think that if someone else had been watching it would not have known what to think!

i dont think i have laughed

i dont think i have laughed so hard in my life

it was sooooooooooo funny

but i did think it was very couragous of them... they did/said everything that all the groups thought of but were too chicken to do..

??

So I definetly agree that this was an extremely funny video. I was however a little uncomfortable watching sock puppets fornicate and masturbate.

I agree with this group that

I agree with this group that the only way they could have made their theme work was with puppets. It was super creative and I laughed so hard. This video will be hard to compete with!

This was my own group but I

This was my own group but I thought we did a good job at our interpretation of the books. We also had a lot of fun making this video.

This made me laugh so hard

This made me laugh so hard that I was crying. I do think it is important to note that every scene depicted was tied to something in the book. Had the viewers not read the text, they wouldnt get it. So I guess that is one good quality of the way this group tied the texts in.
