I'm torn

This sketch is cute, but it contains all of the awful, low-hanging-fruit puns that don't require any cleverness or deep thinking to arrive at. That said, I want to like this video because, even though these are some truly lame puns, they come at the viewer in a barrage, which gives them some comic momentum. What do you think? Watch the video and tell me whether you found the sketch clever or just facile.

Honestly, I don't want to shit on this. The young lady made an effort to put together a fun little skit. But maybe because I traffic in language all the time, I'm just not as blown away by this as I should be. Am I just being an asshole?

  1. I liked it, even though a lot of it went over my empty head.
