Cheap and trying too hard. Needs less satire and more comedy
[QUOTE=rndgenerator;50930011]Cheap [/QUOTE] ahahha - I fucking wish! No probs if you don't like it, most the script is just exactly what Trump says.
Normally I love all of your content, but this doesn't really stick out from all the other "mash currently popular things together" type skit videos that don't go as far as making anything new from the mix.
[QUOTE=SneakyZebra;50930024]ahahha - I fucking wish! [/QUOTE] Pretty sure he means cheap as in using obvious and uninteresting jokes, not cheap as in literally didn't cost much money.

is this supposed to be a shot towards that jonathan holmes fellow whom made this garbage [IMG]https://66.media.tumblr.com/82603f894682f1be01621a3cb816869c/tumblr_inline_oca14635dz1qhg9qr_540.png[/IMG] Otherwise, don't see a connection if there is any at all.
The main issue is that you seem to spend 3:23 minutes making the same joke over and over again (I say "seem to" because I only watched to 1:46). A joke needs to have a setup and pay off or a punchline. This either doesn't have one or it takes too long to get to it. Also, like another user mentioned, this just seems like a mashup of trending topics at the moment, there's nothing inherently relatable between Donald Trump and Pokemon Go that would make the juxtaposition between them have a humorous or ironic twist to it. A joke doesn't necessarily have to be logical to be funny, but it needs to either have some ironic truth to it or else be so crazy and unexpected that it causes the viewer to laugh, anything inbetween just comes off as repetitive, predictable and boring. I think that is unfortunately the case here.
