WGA Strike: A Love Story

[mhaze210]

They had my support...until they started threatening writers who weren't even part of the Union...and started getting a bit too greedy. Hate on me if you will but I honestly dont care.

A lot of them (especially TV writers) make several thousand dollars A WEEK... I don't even make that in a month these days...I guess I chose the wrong profession :(

Lets strike about real human rights for a change.

[iomba]

Fans support the writers!

[periwynkle17]

yah! hah hah i kno this one. yesh freakin funny at the end.......

[dottyjay]

OMG! how freakin funny is this...shades of the "unknown comic" ??? anyone remember?? proves how old i am..hahahahahahah

[jenz1011]

lmao! brilliant!

[hahahayouareonline]

You should make a PART II now that the strike is over. Show the reunion. I'm sure it'll be a tearjerker.

[victimized15]

OMFG that...was....wow!!

[eftarn]

lol, the beach and the park are both in Manhattan Beach

[nessie700]

that was awsome. writers rules

suport the writers

save your show

[escritoragaviota]

want solution for writers wga...

[debravs]

This is hysterical. What fun! Thanks for sharing!

[Piaffepony0412]

That was awesome. :D

[r4ttl3]

Carn the writers!! Don't fuck with the union!

[Lizi99]

The "Power Moguls" only have to own internet search engines to gain control of the "World Wide Web". Then people will be directed or allowed access to what they want you to view. It is a reality we must address. Pay-per-view is already here.

[kag19]

Go writers. Never give up. Fight for your rights, you have my full support.

[Spc01]

haha.

I fully support writers in this.

[jerrica76]

this was fab. Got the point across without taking yourself for D__M serisouly

Props to you

[pastrami4]

I'm the 100th comment.

[Antishadow13]

F-ing brilliant!

[gllafc]

Excellent!

[vealjerky]

All these great videos prove that it is the studios that need the writers and not the other way around. I have yet to see a video produced by one of the moguls!

[JaiCat]

Please go back to the table please please please

[oddball392]

If you want to work, don't go on strike!

[ImBigBoned99]

This video says it all... these writers want to work! Please get back to the settlement table. Give these writers what they deserve! Great video! Very creative!

[therealbmcgee]

Okay, I'm ready to play hardball with these moguls. I'm ready to boycott any and all products produced by the conglomerates. I'm ready to boycott their advertisers. The writers and other workers are feeling the pinch, but the companies aren't. Let's make them feel it.

[therealbmcgee]

That was really, really cute. I mean it.

Please be sure to have lots of great script ideas ready to roll after the strike. We are dying out here with no work and need to work non-stop for a good while after your strike is settled. It's going to take a long time to recover from the wages that we BTL have lost. Thank you for your consideration...brother.

[ThePrimeSpotcom]

That was SO cute and the tongue action at the end shows you're really committed!

[BlackRoth]

Just amazing this video. It shows how important is either for producers and writers working together having no differences and giving each other what they deserve.

[Flurgleson]

Way to go, Tikell! Even better than Cabo Football!

[rooneytune]

That was hilarious!  Way to roll!

[grouchomi]

LMAO! that was awesome!

it just goes to show that the writers don't need the production company's zillions of dollars to produce something funny and entertaining. it's the writers with the real talent, after all.

[ImBigBoned99]

got my daily dose of humor! this video is great! Such talent!

[elivermo]

has there ever been a strike that was this entertaining. its ok that my shows are no longer on, i get to watch their hilariousness on youtube!

[fultwst]

OH MY GWAAAD! worst lighting I ever saw. Save a buck, fuck it up. spend a little money and see what a union set lighting electrician can do for you. You could have something worth looking at. Don't even get me started about the sound quality. Did all the petty cash go to the craft service table? Must have been quite the spread!

[garbles46151]

Haha! Are you serious? Is something only funny if it is done professionally? Apparently content has nothing to do with humor. If you don't think the video is funny, fine. But bitching about the quality is fucking stupid! This isn't the new release at the IMAX. It's on youTube. Or did you not realize where you were when you typed this inane comment?

[nolajam]

I believe it's called wit and/or humor. Can you take a joke?

[garbles46151]

Hmm. You may be right, but nonetheless I felt like giving someone a hard time and I did, so I'm satisfied. So how are you doing?

[ricklickme]

wow! this lame video has totally convinced me!! now I really don't give a fvck about this rich b@stards!

[lightupmyroom]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHA

[disneychannelsource]

thats is just really funny

[Aerynvala]

hahahah, that's freaking brilliant!

[StudioEsq]

My hat is off to you both.  I hope you are back to work soon. In the meantime, thanks for the entertaining diversion.

[Danzuker]

That being said, if we were ever to make even one dollar from this video, we'd be happy to share it with England Dan. Whether or not he shares it with John Ford Coley is entirely up to him.

[StudioEsq]

Did you pay to reuse that song?

[dominictemple]

that was hilarious

[medleystudios72]

what the... who's he calling? doh! *snort* [spit take] no they didn't! [falls out of chair laughing] aw, heck.~~~~~~~~ Proof that a striking writer isn't a lazy writer...

[Savemeimdtba]

This is possibly... the best thing EVER!

[dadoodaidy]

This cracks me up! LOL!

[neuralcluster]

Awesome, that cracked me up!

[yellowdahlia]

Fantastic video!

[qball00]

That was great! You gotta be twisted to get your buddies to french kiss on the beach. Keep it up.

[eternallybeatdown]

what network gives the best oral?

[carolinecrane]

This is the best thing to come out of the strike so far.

(Let's hope with negotiations resuming that something even better will come out of the strike, like a fair deal for the writers.)

[plug789]

That was funny

[ShainaG]

wow...did England dan & john ford Coley get paid too? but this is great makes the point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lladnek5]

Aw, that's cute.

[teshw]

Can't get it to load either.  It's up and running on funnyordie site.

[dgans]

America's Smelliest Family!

[pastrami4]

Anyone else having problems loading this video?

[teshw]

Very funny. In fact before both parties sit down to talk next week they should watch this video first. Thanks.

[baconmmmm]

You're allowed to use music on youtube videos. Also, if these guys didn't make any money from this, there is no royalty to be had. Nice try, studio weasel.

[TMHMM]

What AMPTP is trying to say is that WE can use anything, because digital content is for promotional purposes.

[mediastooge]

Ironic...I wonder if England Dan and John Ford Coley got a royalty or got ripped off...

[Greggmcb]

Of course FOX gets the tongue. Nice!

[ImBigBoned99]

I just love it! Amazing! What a good laugh!

[lenadances]

Oh my God, you guys are awesome. WGA WINS VIA YOUTUBE!

[dre103day]

HILARIOUS!

[wisdom4me1]

Hey, who's the guy at 2:04-2:05? Great expressions! Is he a writer or an actor-he has a certain SOMETHING!

[nehuskerfaninia]

LMBO... This is too cute!!! And yes, who is that handsome gentleman leading the strikers and singing at the end? Have I seen him act before??? HMMMM..... Sure would like to see him in more pictures.

[msjazz1]

This is so great. A good way to get the point across. Who is the african american guy leading the strikers and singing in the end? I don't recognize him? Is he an actor? Does anyone know what his name is?

[florsie]

I think this totally evident for everyone, but since I'm not an english native speaker, its not that evident to me. What's the name of the song, its wonderful.

[gluvox12]

I'd Really Love To See You Tonight - England Dan & John Ford Coley

[inac88]

Great video, but wouldn't it have made more sense had one of them been a woman?

[ewwwwwww1]

your missing the point homphobe.

[mvankamp]

Awesome video!! I was wondering about the black guy leading the strike chant too - if he's not an actor, he should be one!!

[scrubsmusical]

Brilliant!

[calihrgirl]

This is fabulous! Makes me want to walk the line with them!! Yes, the two leads were good, but does anyone know the name of the black guy who leads the strike chant and then sings at the end? Is he a writer or an actor?

[absbug]

Love it, love it! How about the bike helmet on the corporate box head?

[Lonewolfjedi]

This is pretty funny, but what they are fighting for makes sense

[Xemnas677]

WGA forever!

[scottso]

Kelleher and Zuker together again! Not since the heyday of the "Paper Dance News" and Arsenio have these two been better. Definitely UNcrapolicious for sure!

[ImBigBoned99]

I can't start my day without playing this! I love it! I can't remember last time I had such a good belly laugh! The faceless conglomerate is awesome!

[calvinbroadus562]

The writers' parody videos are way better than the studios. I'll have to side with the writers on this one. They've shown me that it takes "writers" to be funny on you tube. Now, if only they'd put a few writers on Quarterlife, we'd be seeing some REAL progress in the world of online content.

[MFBandi]

Can I join the strike? :)

[isanoot]

EXCELLENT!!!!

[NeedaCoolUsername]

hahaha this is a genius video.

excellent job.

[gchaed]

GENIUS!

And I love that song.  England Dan and John Ford Coley I think.

[OliviaKoogler]

See you tomorrow at the march on Hollywood Blvd!

You have my full support!

SAG member

[SilverQueen]

That is EPIC.

[Memphismom]

Thank goodness we have a place to go and watch something the writers are writing! This is GREAT! Keep at it guys/gals! we are behind you! -SAG member.

[chicagohughes]

It's been awhile since I heard myself laugh. Thank you.

[pastrami4]

Great job. Really funny

[kingofqueen100]

So funny!

[LosAngelesSetDancers]

HILARIOUS!!! :-)

[alliewobbles]

I can't stop watching this! It's the funniest thing ever. Awesome acting and directing and production!

[velpnkchick2]

LMAO that's fucking genius....

[celadman]

I laughed out loud! My favorite: 1988, the wig, the contract.

[ImBigBoned99]

The guy who plays the faceless conglomerate is perfect, what timing! The guy singing with the phone is amazing! What a creative video! I love it!

[ImBigBoned99]

This is hilarious! So well done! I can't stop howling!

[JustABadGirl]

sweet..check out my love story

[sobercarol]

Wow, this is so Hilarious, I love the "network" icon, perfect non entity.

[onedaytimedrama]

So funny, I love it.

[Oehtkralc]

Thanks. I needed that.

[strictures]

I love the use of the Lancaster/Kerr scene in "From Here To Eternity"

[terramar]

Love it! Great commentary on the WGA strike. Go writers!

[ImBigBoned99]

haha pretty good, this should be the viral video of the week.

[melindacorazon]

***Wow....****

[Dino1961]

Love it. Hilarious Zach. Also good Danny.

[bethkelleher]

Hilarious....that boxhead is the perfect "face" of the faceless studios. I love the negotiation flashback. Nice olive branch!

[mimi337]

BRILLIANT! love the homo aspect especially. Very radical.

[jrtake2]

This is brilliant. Fabulosa. Keep 'em coming. I want chapter 2 NOW! "Makeup or Breakup?"

[alliewobbles]

This is why I love the WGA. I love this video, it's quite possibly the greatest thing EVER!

[Hammerman8699]

Thanks, we all needed that.

[McRib1]

Massively super-funny!
