Inside This Video

While this is a stock college student video joke, this Harvard student does a pretty good job with the MTV cribs mock video. He shows us around his room, and many of his roommates are not pleased with his decision to do so.

What we like about this Video

-A dorm in Harvard? Now I know how all the smart kids live!

-Simpsons boxers. Funny.

-The guy asleep when they came in made me laugh...

Maybe Next time.

-...although I don't know why he was speaking a foreign language when he woke up. It also would have been funnier if he wasn't even referrerd to, but just showed. Same with the Simpsons boxers. It's funnier to do the whole tour in them and not say a word about them.

-It's too long. You could accomplish all of the funny/worthwhile moments in this video in about two minutes.

Inside This Video

Here is a type of video you will see quite a bit of on the internet:  a college student's own version of MTV's Cribs.  In this particular one from ECU, this student shows us his apartment, but mainly his fridge.

What we like about this Video

-They do a good job of following the cribs style.  I especially like the slow motion replays of simple actions, like displaying pudding.

-The joke is in the fact that in cribs the rich people are showing off their amazing houses, and in this it's just a college student showing his average apartment, and they do a pretty nice job executing that joke.

Maybe Next time.

-I often repeat that people should be careful with using licensed music.  These guys also have to be careful about the fact that they used MTV's actual cribs logo.  That's a no-no.  If they wanted, MTV could have this taken off the internet, so be careful.

-They could have done a better job writing funny dialogue and situations.  They spend a whole lot of time in front of the fridge, and it just got boring.
