I almost hate doing this because its pretty clear that you put a lot of effort into it.

But first of all, I agree with the above, the blah blah stuff, was actually really annoying and it took way to long to get to any kind of payoff, I watched it all the way through, but to be honest, it took almost a minute of being eventually annoyed by the blah blah stuff to get to any kind of payoff.

(to me having actually dialogue leading up to the events would have really strengthened things and kept the viewer engaged and maybe been a help in building up the later events)

The rest was ok, I didn't have that laugh out loud moment as everything was really predictable in terms of where the jokes were going, as soon as the ghost showed up and the bear showed up you knew where it was going

A big part of humor for me if you're going to use shock humor which a bear rape is, should be that the thing that you predict happens doesn't happen or something even worse or unexpected happens.

I watched the other video's the trump song didn't seem to really go anywhere , and honestly it just seemed to be doing what everyone else is doing, but humor like that can't be safe or repetitive. Using songs in parodies are tough because you have to be either really good musically or outright horrible and proud of it.

the soldier boy parody commercial was probably the best work so far, but I felt that besides the repeated use of the word "F%%%" it didn't really go anywhere or into dangerous ground, there's so much possibility in terms of commercial parody, but this one just didn't hit the mark, the ending part with the escaped POW kit was a nice touch, but again, it wasn't a stretch.

I don't mean to be brutal, but when you post something like this here and you ask for thoughts, you're going to get the good or the bad, keep at it, sometimes its tough finding a message or consistency or even an audience but I admire the effort.
