  • Bravo, this is very well done.

  • brilliant !

  • watched this after it came out a few months. damn, this video needs more views. everyone, share in twitter, spread the news of.... oedipus complex :D... :o.... :/ .....;). lol

  • nearly gave up in first 20 secs, but laughed my little clogs off

  • Simply fabulous!! 

  • Brilliant...that's all I've got..

    Brilliant!

  • beast accent. it kind of kept me hooked

  • yes. dear god yes.

    this is how poetry should be taught!

    also, i cant believe this has been up nearly 3 years and only has 49,000 views. :(

  • By far the funniest video i have seen on youtube. That was just incredible.

  • Great story, very funny, well played and nicely told.. not so sure about the lightning but I enjoyed it a lot!!

  • This. Needs. More. Views. NOW.

  • This is the best thing ive watched in ages...

  • looooooooooooooooooooool that's fucking HILARIOUS :-DDD

  • Best clip I've seen in ages!

  • need this BADLY in russian (translated by 2x2)

  • This skit is brilliantly done

    It's full of pure amazing fun

    The witty humor was a smack

    Just fairly wack

    It's clever to the bone

    My mind is blown

    This kind of humor is exactly what too many jokers lack

    -

    Really, it was simply brilliant.

  • THAT. WAS. FUCKING. AWESOME.

  • hahahahhahaah x/d good ;D

    BRAWO!

  • I wonder how hes gonna break the news to his mom

  • All of this could have been avoided if only Oedipus had been from the North. A Geographical error snowballed into a spinoff sitcom, with Duelin' Banjos on the soundtrack Jim Morrison knows.

  • or the north pole.

  • so is that what that means. oh

  • hahahahaaa, LOVE it.

  • @slipknotphan I beg to differ lol

  • how does this work?

    a guy writes a comment in Dutch from 3 weeks ago, then another guy responds...which came first? because 1 is below the other so I'm confused as to which one came 1st...confusion sets in...

  • Youtube is a mess ain't it ?

  • oh!I don't speak Dutch!I'm sorry....A friend of mine is from Germany and I know some words!so could you translate it?please?:D

  • sorry! i thought you were dutch because "niemand" is dutch (it means "nobody"). I said that you forgot the L, because you spelled "sofokes". i can read a bit of greek because i had that at school!

  • THANKS so much I hadn't noticed!you don't have to apologise it has happend to me again only that the person that told me that was Greek and he had just moved to Greece from Netherlands!I think it's really cool that you can read even a bit!thanks again :D
