Cash Cab, UNCUT

I'm going with DisgracedCop on this one. The writing was actually pretty funny... "Third question: Do you find me attractive?" I really enjoyed the skit's basis, that a Cash Cab host (or a fake one, at that) who is suicidal switches between being incredibly generous to incredibly intoxicated on the flip of a coin.

I'm going with DisgracedCop on this one. The writing was actually pretty funny... "Third question: Do you find me attractive?" I really enjoyed the skit's basis, that a Cash Cab host (or a fake one, at that) who is suicidal switches between being incredibly generous to incredibly intoxicated on the flip of a coin. Interesting concept indeed, and the driver (played by Sean Hunt) was a mixture of loneliness and self-loathing. I particularly liked the mini-gun.

I do agree with Disgraced in that the skit was just a tad over-stretched, and could have had a few seconds cut here and there to make it much tighter. The cutting from the driver to the passenger was also a bit sloppy; though cinematographer Dave Betten might not be to blame for that, the editor certainy is.

My opinion: Funny skit, with a humorous concept. The actors never tried to overplay the punchlines, and the writing never took the subject matter 'too far,' as they say. With a decent camera, and better editing software, I think that VGP might really start producing some FOD Exclusive-level material.

Favorite line: "What wou- *sips beer* What would you do if I hit this woman right here?"
