I don't understand what the complaining is about about.
Was this video supposed to be something else, presented in another way, with a different dialog? Was it supposed to make you laugh? Is that who it was made for?
- mhd 15y agoI'm definitely more in that target demographic than one for an Adam Sandler movie. It has a certain blandness about it, a comedy "uncanny valley". The general direction would've worked for me, but it lacks any kind of style. This looks like a corporate training video version of fun, something approved by the type of manager who likes to "liven up" his presentations by the occasional quip. This is like a joke told via Powerpoint. It actually wouldn't need all that much to make it work. Make gmail-man a bit more creepy. Or aim for a certain style of musical (or era). And again, 'burning sensation' has to go. (Can't believe I'm actually writing that much about what basically amounts to "meh".)

- mhd 15y agoThose are just two examples I could come up with on the spot, I'm sure there are cleaner and more mainstream ways to spice things up. I thought that if you're taking the pi out of Google, you might as well commit to it. I think that quite a few people already consider this slightly bitter and/or envious.
