Director's Commentary

Max: It was really easy because we just copied everything from Pete and Brian.

Brett: Max, don't kid!  We copied everything from TheAttackComedy.

Max:  Well combined really.  I wasn't even conscious when we were filming. Nor did I shave. Not even one time.

Dan: I haven't shaved since then.  I look like a bear now.

Max: I actually am a bear.  But like a highly evolved new kind of bear that's the same as a human but is still a bear.  That's why I like to play lots of different instruments.

Dan: let's get back on track. Brett and Max, when you were writing this, tell me what was going on in your minds -- was it just, "Man, I really like Pete and Brian.  How can we be more like Pete and Brian," or "Pete and Brian are the best, THE BEST," or the more explicit, "Let's copy this Pete and Brian sketch word for word."?

Be honest.  it was that last one, wasn't it?

Max: In all seriousness, Brett approached me and was like "Hey Max, I really want to enter this YouTube contest, only thing is the deadline is like an hour from now ... think we can get together in time?"

I cocked my head to the side as if he had just told me the cure for cancer was more cancer and told him flat out. "You're crazy Brett. It'll never work! Never!"

Then he was all like "well I was being sarcastic. The deadline is more like 2 days from now. And stop looking at me like the cure for cancer is more cancer. That doesn't make sense at all because the cure would just keep perpetuating the disease. Wait, unless each successive cancer that cures the previous cancer starts at the beginning -- so the person never dies, just gets sick over and over. Now THAT would be something!"

And I was all like "Ok, I'll help. As long as you stop talking! And I better not have to shower. Or talk."

And I didn't.

Dan: this is similar to the way Brett approached me.

"Hey idiot, we're gonna do this thing and it's due right away and I can't get anyone else to do it so you're gonna have to drag your fat face out to Max's on Saturday and do everything I say, which should be easy for you since you've never had an original thought in your life and all you do is follow orders, you greasy moron."

I said, "sure!"

Man, Brett is a good guy.

Brett:  I haven't been reading what the other guys have been writing because I'm too busy, but basically I wish I could've got some better people to help me with this.

Dan: "I'm Brett, I'm so important, I'm the busiest bee in the west, look at me, I'm wearing pants today, la dee da."

Dick.

Max: There are many reasons I continue making these videos.  For example.....there's....uh.....

Max's Therapist:  My professional opinion is that you should keep making videos.

Dan: did someone not reply all somewhere?  or does Max's "reason why" e-mail just come out of nowhere.  I am lost.

Speaking of "Lost," remember when I came to your house to discuss this sketch and all we did was talk about "Lost," Brett?  'member?  did you guys watch last night?  Man, that was a good one.  I don't think Jin is actually dead.

Brett: Ok, l finally had time to read all of this and it looks like we've all devolved into irrelevance.  THIS COMMENTARY IS OVER.*
