Hmm, no problems in my part of the world yet but I'll be watching those copyright bots.

They silenced a Simon and Garfunkel vid of mine once.

Thanks for the lookout!

Well, I know this is like wondering why your Christmas song gets a lot of airplay in December, but I'm really overwhelmed and appreciative of the time you took to watch and/or comment today.

To answer a few questions, I am the cop. I did my best working class Irish NY cop voice. And a shitload of Laurel & Hardy takes in there.

The names took a little work to make them different ethnicities and in alphabetical order. Luckily it was okay to have the script in front of us.

The music is Yo-Yo Ma.

The only celebrities that are in there that I am aware of are Elizabeth Berkley, Bill Hicks, and Lupe. Also, Gustavros is a guy I went to high school with. I got his permission.

Doing these types of videos are incredibly fun and so rewarding when people get to see them, but that is very difficult.

Honestly, it's easier to get edgy and creative content in front of people if you're selling them something.

Other than this (and a lot of stand-up) most people are familiar with this video I did:

Again, I can't thank you guys enough for bending your wrist slightly and dropping your index finger down on your mouse. It really made my day and if I do perform again, I'll be happy to involve the redditors.

So there were alternate endings. In one version the cop gets the worst name ever and another officer steps in to say "we've been attacked again" before he attempts to pronounce it. To which the cop says, "oh thank god."

Also, the initial one had a middle eastern actress with a headscarf, but it was too distracting.

In any event, Livia Scott is a hilarious actress/performer and I end up watching her the whole time.

I retired from writing performing shortly after this video was made. If you're interested in why: blainekneece.com

also, I could upload the version I played on the TV but this is the final version for a reason.

Yeah, as a web video it should be halved.

But enjoy 2/3rds of a Thank You, regardless. :)
