I just want to know how, in this day and age, he got a gun up into the Empire State Building. Even a fake one.

That post office he uses in the second video is (I’m almost positive) my old local post office in Park Slope, Brooklyn on 7th Avenue. Which makes his “tourist in NY” skit even funnier. Anyone else able to verify this from visuals? (The book store next door, store layout, etc.?)

Oh, wow – I just wrapped up some end-of-the-day stuff and stopped back by here to watch some of these again. Go to the website referenced at the end of his videos (marksinfinitesolutions.com) and check out the Guestbook. My favorite one so far is:

“none of the guides you posted work! i did the microwave one and i actually burned my mouth from a banana.”

Ha!!!

The Guestbook entries are as entertaining as the tutorials, if not more so. This guy is my new hero!

That NYC post was classic. Pause the video and read what the “original Shakespeare manuscript reads,” it’s pretty funny.

Hey, c’mon guys! I saw that post on the tail end of a 36-hour sleepless stretch and you’re busting my chops?!

Actually, it is pretty funny that he reeled me in like that. I’ll have to forward it to my boss and see if he gets taken in too.

Oh my, I have a new favorite word now. “Bibliotainment”

This is pretty hilarious.

This is hilarious! How have I never heard of this guy??? I’m now off to avenge all of the useless e-mail forwards my coworkers are constantly sending me. I just wish one of them happened to planning a trip to NYC!

OK, so the first one, I gave him the benefit of a doubt. The second one, I said “How can THAT work? Seems unlikely” and it was downhill after that.

Hahahaha! I loved Andy Kauffman.

Fatal Farm, eh? (It’s included in the credits.) I’ve only heard of them recently, for the exceptional Lasagna Cat series, which you can also check out on YouTube. Live-action re-enactments of Garfield cartoons, immediately followed by music-video reinterpretations? What’s not to love?

Michael, do you happen to be one of the aforementioned “youtube commenters”?
