Olympics- Going the Extra Mile- RESULTS

  • Going the Extra Mile - Submissions must be received by Monday, 7/16 at NOON.

    Rather than explaining what we want, we’re just going to have the Xtranormal Master, EAM, show you:

    http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/13523319/dems-da-rulez

    1. Set up an account on the following website: http://www.xtranormal.com/
    2. Your country must be your user name. (If you have problems with this, please pm QT.)
    3. Create a Suque inspired video using no more than the 300 free XP credits you receive for signing up.
    4. Email a link to your video to suqueolympics @ gmail.com.

    Entries will be ranked 1-10 based on the funniness, I am sure. Or whatever the judges want. The only rule is "Suque Inspired." Scores will be averaged and Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will be awarded accordingly.

  • When you email me your video please include your username and password so I can (temporarily) rename the videos so they are anonymous for the judges.

  • South Sudan is having some technical issues - submitted the video but cannot give judges access to account at the moment. If there are delays this is all on me, so feel free to direct all related hate towards this guy (good ol' fashioned hate for judges can still be directed to judges as normal).

    multiple awards

  • I had full intentions of creating a video this morning but the site is blocked, hope my team pulled through. Probably not though.

    RaiseHigh said... No. This is jtp's doing. He's kept me around for his bizarre HOF resume.

    nvm, I'll cut down the comments until judging is revealed since that seems to have been the procedure

    Judge 1- The only thing worse than beating a dead horse is beating a dead horse that wasn't overly funny to begin with. The preceeding comment makes about as much sense as your story.
    Judge 3- ccterp/nola Some good slams but -1 for vietnamese
    Judge 4- Ugh, obvious CCterp and Nolaeer jokes. The instructions clearly stated to avoid the hack board stories and you straight up ignored that. But there were a few shots across the bows at a number of posters so I give you credit for quantity. Still, it doesn't even make sense that CC wants Nola. And Vietnamese boy? Not only did you choose tired stories, you got them wrong. Honestly, you could shuffle 6th, 7th and 8th place movies into one big blah.

    Judge 1- Not much of a story at all but has some decent lines.
    Judge 3- Coltsfan/R&W fair
    Judge 4- Like the other one, the use of the Southern accent was a gutsy move, but it paid off. There were a lot of great lines in it, but they just didn't flow. It seemed like Daniel Tosh, "Let's see how many jokes about coltsfan we can make. GO!" No pacing.

    Judge 1- Longest video ever. I'm still not sure what I just watched. But I liked it.
    Judge 3- Hotsauce lol, the voice, s pan yawl s pan yawl
    Judge 4- 5 minutes? WTF? We gave parameters as suggestions. We didn't want to be strict about it and sour creativity but you flat-out spit on our suggestion. Some of us have jobs. And it's not like the extra time led to something developing. Aside from that, none of this made sense. This is a talk show that takes place in what appears to be a doctor's office? There are backgrounds that actually are a studio set. Why not use them? And what's with the odd pauses? Was that a play on the "comedy timing" joke, or do you just suck at this? For Christ Sake, there's even a jump cut in it. I chuckled literally once, the Yo Soy Espanol thing.

    6 3 9 4
    Judge 1- Not a huge fan of Sandusky humor but this awkward combination worked fairly well. LOLed at Michael breaking windows.
    Judge 3- Jerry and Annette spoilt milk was a good line
    Judge 4- I was initially intrigued at the Sandusky/Annette combination. Absurdity and juxtaposition is a key component to humor and you got me from the outset. But what really made this one fly was exceptional use of the Annette run ons. That was a good LOL moment. That said, I deducted points because I am not sure why Sandusky was there. There really was only two Sandusky jokes and they were funny-ish. Big point deduction for a lack of ending. Stories have endings.

    Judge 1- Unique selection of material. The gunshots were definitely my favorite part.
    Judge 3- 5th Okay
    Judge 4- Very meh. Poorly delivered and conceived lines. Maybe I haven't been paying attention but is 5thandLehigh pro-cancer? Did I miss that thread? The only clever aspect was the ancillary audio. Good use of gun shots and helicopters

    Judge 1- Timing is everything!
    Judge 3- WTF is this?
    Judge 4- Solid performance. Again, had she said, "Hello Jeff Ermann" I would have groaned. But it was subtly brought in and once the first joke it, it hit hard. Maybe it went on one joke too long but by and large, they were strong, especially the few misdirection ones. I very well could have given it the gold but Movie I had a few more nuances. Nice work.

    Judge 1- LOfrickingL.
    Judge 3- Nola Spot on
    Judge 4- Great, a long Nolaeer joke. I heard this one before. No crafting, little movement, uninspired camera angles. No thanks. A few good lines bumped it above the other Nolaeer snooze fest. You had a great opportunity with a good hand motion during the jeffhoops joke, but the tight shots didn't let it play.

    In 2nd place, with an average ranking of 3.25, Russia.

    5 1 4 3
    Judge 1- I enjoyed some of the digs at random people a bit more than I did the I'm Allenbaba and I run an ad firm.
    Judge 3- baba pretty funny
    Judge 4- The repetition of the joke was very funny, though you disregarded the rule of threes in humor. The fourth rendition wasn't bad, but leaving it out would have helped. Though I get the ad agency joke and it played well, I'm not aware he talks about having a lot of money so that reference kind of came out of nowhere. More jokes done more subtly would have bumped you up but still pretty good work.

    http://s1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii626/SuqueOlympics/ExtraMile/?action=view¤t=Kazakhstan.mp4

    In 1st place, with an average ranking of 3, Kazakhstan.

    2 8 1 1
    Judge 1- Sold story telling.
    Judge 3- twins dream perfect
    Judge 4- I sometimes think people add extraneous elements without reason. Music is one of them. But in this case, the music really added to it. The music/southern accent really meshed well. Gave it a Pulp Fiction vibe. Plus, I appreciate my hand wasn't held saying, "This is R&W and this is Justerp." The brother + long face slipped the thought in. While there weren't very many LOL moments (the Irish Jew in a shower cap got me), the jokes were solid and paced exceedingly well. But what really set it off was a surprise ending. A story with a beginning, middle and an end.

  • I tried to sit down and do this Sunday night, but my result was terribly unfunny and I scrapped it with the intentions of trying again Monday morning at work. It was blocked at work and I guess nobody else was around to salvage anything.

    Oh well.

    It is the weak artists whose best defense is "you just don't get it."

    Even had I known the story, the cartoon was pretty beige.

  • Didn't realize timing was an issue. My bad.

    Awkward pauses - definitely were not there in the preview, but showed up in the finished product.
