Rebecca Black's 'Friday' - An Acting Masterclass.

[snaffus]

For some reason, you remind me of Orson Welles

[oooomphiziert]

Great how it stresses the senselessness of those lyrics. :D

[misterfatal]

Okay acting. but seriously: What did you record with? A broomstick?

[rookieAUT]

Everytime funny, like the first time^^

[xxmetioqurexx]

YOU LOOK LIKE RICKY GERVAIS!!! hahah

[Jaeger2011]

DÖD ÅT SVERIGE; VI BLATTAR TAR ÖVER!! LOL

[dizze1986]

vad tråkigt

[UPIGUMPEN]

hej hej!

[niklassonen93]

hejsan :)

[MrNojaNoja]

lmfao

[fuskaren]

Sverige tar över youtube! Skriv på svenska i alla videor du kollar på! Tumme upp så alla kan se!

[allergic2kryptonite]

still need the cliff notes for this if i'm gonna pass my English Lit final exam

[roninkode]

This is perfect.

[ChopStickSoSushi]

Great acting skills there man if only the microphone had have picked up the intensity in your voice better... without the distortion. :) none the less aside from the sound quality Great work.

[CyM8384]

Apache Friday!!! (Rebecca Black - Friday) Army Aviation Version <----IS MUCH FUNNIER!!!!

[indigokiller]

just when i thought the parodies were over i find this. my side hurts.

[Cruize91]

Very creative, but I'd wish you had better mic quality :) still laughed though ;D

[averyellis]

@Cruize91 I thought the same thing the first time I heard it. But then; the old school-ness of it overtook me. It reeks of Christopher Lee over-performing and the audio is like an Orson Wells satire. I don't know why this isn't as popular as the other parodies, but it deserves it.

[arkadios27]

hahahahaha!!! amazing!!!! congrats from greece!!!!!!!!! you are a great talent!!!!!

[toptenfan]

Great :)

[flyingwurststulle]

hahhaha "my friends....my friends...haa.." :D

youre a bloody genius :D

[tcsoft]

hilarious!

[Guitarstring187]

epic you really made me think there was more to this "friday" thing than there is. Good job. Its all about context huh. You could see this in any harry potter film or lord fo the ring or hobbit dialogue.

[averyellis]

Oh man, this is funny. I've watched it more than any other parody. I honestly think it will outlast them all.

I just watched the original "Wicker Man" and somehow ... I think this could have been an excerpt .

[handsomemike1]

@averyellis That's really kind of you, thanks!

[Linzipinz]

Brilliant.

[IbrahimIsmail95]

OMG HAHAHAHAHAHA.........AWESOME!!­!!!!!! xD

[cherrybelly999]

BRAVO!

[CProductions27]

Simply amazing

[adamprescott01]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I LOL'd

[Jingleheartart]

Hahahaha! this is amazing!

[ZorboDelaTorre]

Hilarious.

[Honeydew7396]

I LOVE THIS. LMAO

[xK12RESx]

Is this romborama?

[jpgrdnr]

this is like that crazy Hamlet version of "Friday"

[HugeMonkeyNipples]

you deserve to be on oprah's new series masterclass.

[knightsintodreams]

what comes after saturday?

[DFIE]

excellent job!



[rookieAUT]

Wow!

That was GREAT! I loved watching it! :D

[surabetrayal]

a perfect exploration of the polygonal depth [spiritual, emotional,psychologically] of any collection of words.

[LeTempleDuSoleil]

This is beautiful. Thank you for uploading this.

[bosshog7169]

HAHA Excellent work. These lyrics were actually written by Bob Dylan originally though. Also, your name is an oxymoron.

[AsIanSk8tEr15243]

partyin' partyin'..... yeah

[bigbad1000do7a]

I love the opening.

[MisterAshTre]

I made a rap with her lyrics LOL

it's a joke btw.

[fieryphoenixe]

YOU WIN!!!

[Dacarts]

English Teacher: "Alright everyone turn to page 1273, do questions 1-6. Also answer the questions on the board. Make sure you give details on number 2, What day comes after thursday? and Why couldn't mike make a decision on what seat to take? Turn them in before the end of class."

[newagepun]

so maniacal yet so sharp. Simply awe inspiring.

[jashle7]

Wow, you're crazy good. I mean considering how little you had to work with, you actually made Rebecca's Black's god-awful song seem like a piece of internal conflict poetry written by Poe thats how good it was

[zachi033]

God, that was amazing.

[TheLaughFactory]

#LOL

[nebutron]

Brilliant! (just need a better mic...)

[sweetbandofmine]

pure genius

[MrNolupita3000]

Very well done. It's hard to do a decent spoof of this, but you did an original take on it that was hilarious. More, please?

[Anthrax711]

Mike Nelson sent me

[dano247365]

I'm thinking a Fellini work up for this. Odd backgrounds, black and white, profiles in closeup, Existential angst... what seat shall I take?

I'm holding up my fingers like a camera viewfinder frame in front of me right now.

[TheBlackBloodNinja]

That like me when I meet someone on drugs... On "Fridays".

[BestTVvideo]

awesome

[sjenky]

Oh man! That's brilliant.. can we get a sequel, please? I can't possibly imagine how you'd interpret the second part of the song..

[Frogsterking]

I think the crappy audio enhanced the effect. Good work!

[babablacksheep232]

Hahaha, I love your interpretation!

[mattkaeck]

by far, the best video on Friday....genius...this should go viral

[MegaTommy129]

hahahaha

[millimunki]

soooooo good! is so much better than the video

[Simoontjuhh]

Dude!! OMG this is genius. I dunno if there's a download link, but I SO want it on my phone xD This is EPIC!

[InsertDeepLyrics]

I would ask you to do it again with better audio but... that... cannot be recreated.

[mrgavindb]

This is truly amazing.

[JaimieKrycho]

Oh my gosh, I got a great belly laugh out of this. You are a mad acting genius.

[waldgeist8]

So cool

[leimeroth]

hahaha! brilliant.

[Siopus]

You made my day! Thanks! Great!

[Flupmeister1]

that made me lol man.. good job

[ZeeBET65]

Omg. If you were my teacher, I'll do my homework / classwork as much as you want on time or earlier coz you surely would make my day! Bravo..(claps)

[xtheshadowprincessx]

haha i just linked this to adult swim uk and they really liked it :P

[hamster3467]

BRILLIANT.

The line "I see my friends" elicits a deep powerful catharsis in the most common of men, and the direct address to the audience right afterwards, connects us with your situation of seeing your friends and what joy it evokes from such a profound experience.

[Vargre]

Seriously...Brilliant. Bravo.

[MontyMongoose]

This is actually genius!!!!

[yaavie1]

:))))))))))))))

[efneho]

Great performance, but you left out my personal favourite part of the script, in which Rebecca contemplates the days that follow and precede Friday.

[handsomemike1]

@efneho I just wasnt up to the task of performing those lines.  They were beyond my skill. I bottled it.

[rameydavida]

To be (in this seat), or not to be (in this seat)... that is the question.

[handsomemike1]

@rameydavida Haha... good work.

[IntroMakerFTW]

Like Gollam talking to himself...XD

[handsomemike1]

@IntroMakerFTW Physically or vocally? I'm not that skinny...

[jamesshape]

genius

[handsomemike1]

@jamesshape Thankyou!

[snoopt0dd]

this is the worst acting job ive ever seen

[handsomemike1]

@snoopt0dd yeah... that's rather the point though.

[Dacarts]

9 people dont know which seat they can take

[handsomemike1]

@Dacarts Chortle.

[Dacarts]

ROFL. I FREAKIN APPLAUD TO THIS!!! I love the audio too, it is like an old clip from english class, lmaoo, 10/10

[handsomemike1]

@Dacarts Thanks!

[misugrrl]

I demand a remake with you holding a skull, and speaking to it.

[handsomemike1]

@misugrrl I'm currently murdering a close relative to get their skull... thanks for the suggestion!

[SoCalAirs0ft]

LOL WTF.

[Random1a2b3c4d5e6f7g]

Your over-exxagerated faces and and manner of speaking made it real funny :)

[handsomemike1]

@Random1a2b3c4d5e6f7g thankyou!

[serenade251]

Hahahaha this is awesome. Nice job!

[handsomemike1]

@serenade251 Cheers!

[stepcool8]

you should totally re-do this and make a more dramatic version. to the style of "Drinking Outta Cups"

[stepcool8]

It's like Tripping balls! I can't make my mind up???? what to do???

yess. no wait no....yes... ahhhhhhh no. YES. : D

[TheMrMysteriouso]

Hahaha. Fantastic!

[handsomemike1]

@TheMrMysteriouso thankyou!

[20surfingdolphins]

"Which seat can I take?"

is now equivalent to,

if not better than,

"Soft! What light through yonder window breaks?"

no joke. -.-"

[handsomemike1]

@20surfingdolphins You clearly recognise true lyrical genius when you see it.

[BlueCrystalGem]

Brilliant man! Brilliant! This gives insight to the character's psyche and reveals her inner maniac side.

It feels that she's alone and wants to do something just so that she can avoid whatever that is driving her deeper into insanity.

[handsomemike1]

@BlueCrystalGem This is truly a piece which deserves a deep psychoanalysis.

[AlterBridgeJericho]

Shit myself laughing :)

[handsomemike1]

@AlterBridgeJericho Nice image! thanks!

[marshmallowthreat1]

Everyone's looking forward to the weekend......[whisper] weekend.

[handsomemike1]

@marshmallowthreat1 re-perform the whole monologue in front of a mirror. It feels good.

[DaveWhid]

haha its awesome that I know Mr Handsome Mike

[handsomemike1]

@DaveWhid Cheers Dave!

[tc9tc9]

Absolutely Brilliant!

(insert clap)

Thank you kindly for the script as well!

[handsomemike1]

@tc9tc9 Cheers!

[battlecow1]

Really, really good. It works out, for some weird reason.

[handsomemike1]

@battlecow1 Thankyou! And yeah... It just felt... Right! 

[purpledino64]

Haha you made me realise the lyrics sound like the ramblings of a skitzophrenic

[handsomemike1]

@purpledino64 Thankfully, that was the effect I was going for!

[nburn1416]

starting the morning with weed and cereal haha

[handsomemike1]

@nburn1416 It's a lifestyle choice.

[sunnydale22]

HILARIOUS!!

[handsomemike1]

@sunnydale22 :-)

[sonicfox]

LOL! Great job! I don't know if you meant it to be funny, but I teared up with laughter. All I could think about was mad men in vintage horror films...and the words fit wonderfully. The sound added to the effect.

[handsomemike1]

@sonicfox "Mad men in vintage horror" - Haha... I'm definitely taking that as a compliment!

[MrFostercola]

you made my day bravo bravo !!!!!!!

[sarty]

Beautiful!! I love this, thanks so much for uploading it!

[handsomemike1]

@sarty And thanks for watching it! :-)

[djdrock111]

You remind me of John Lithgow, especially in "Ricochet."

[handsomemike1]

@djdrock111 I can utterly guarantee that you're the first person to ever say that to me. That sir, has made my day!

[djdrock111]

@handsomemike1 Actually, you remind me more of John Lithgow in "Raising Cain" than "Ricochet."  Either way, you nailed it. Careers will be because of "Friday"...it just won't be Rebecca Black.

[HarryPotatoSex]

This Is Actually AMAZING, You Beautiful Man!

[handsomemike1]

@HarryPotatoSex And you're lovely.

[woodiebluez60]

Amazing!

[handsomemike1]

@woodiebluez60 Thankyou!

[Xxsnypzal0txX]

lol.....I SEE MY FRIENDS

[handsomemike1]

Respond to this video... 

[celebdiur]

this is so fucking bad. It's actually worse than the original and I'm not trolling.

[handsomemike1]

@celebdiur Guess I'll just go and kill myself...

[realsavage22]

Oh man that was brilliant, you're a master of the craft sir!!

[handsomemike1]

@realsavage22 Indeed. It's my degree in Actingology that does it.

[ringthebellamy]

*standing applause*

[handsomemike1]

@ringthebellamy *bows, with a flourish*

[N3rd133t]

Personally I think the audio quality makes it more funny :)

[handsomemike1]

@N3rd133t GOOD! The poor digital camera I filmed it on was feeling a little suicidal with all the criticism,,,

[cynicalcyclist]

Good job. It's practically a work of Shakespeare now.

[handsomemike1]

@cynicalcyclist Deep down... It always was...

[dovebar27]

@handsomemike1 VERY deep down. Right? :P

[ottawashane]

Bravo to the artist...you have made something that is humourous enough without parody even funnier. I'd love to see more of your master oration. My only regret is that you didn't stick with the script through the explanation of the days of the week.

[handsomemike1]

@ottawashane But HOW would I perform it??  If I'm honest... I just wasnt up to the task. I bailed.

[fifiwozere]

I feel like I too can go on to be a leading UK actor after this masterclass. Thank you Mike, thank you.

[handsomemike1]

@fifiwozere It's time for you to go out in the world now little one. I have faith in you.

[snusansmammut]

Amazing stuff

[handsomemike1]

@snusansmammut Thankyou!

[lqhardy]

Mighty Hi-Five to you sir! x

[handsomemike1]

@lqhardy *returns High Five*

[Morty4444]

@Stefandurr Hmmmm, if "LOL" can become a highest rated comment, what would happen if I say "LMAO"?

[paridisegrowth]

with just a bit more production value this can blow up (audio clipping in particular)

[britannicaboom]

Next stop; West End.

[handsomemike1]

@britannicaboom That's what I'll be saying when my acting career fails and I end up driving a London bus...

[wtfisthatsmell]

AHAHAHA

[BuzZeration1]

its better than the original

[fishandduckify]

LOOOOL.

[TheD415]

wait, youre handsome mike?

you could have fooled me.

[fifiwozere]

@TheD415 harsh man, harsh

[handsomemike1]

@fifiwozere BEAT HIM UP FIFI!!!

[jackjumperfreak]

you can actually see you can act in this video lol

[handsomemike1]

@jackjumperfreak haha... thankyou!

[xxHannahBanana300xx]

i love how angry you get at the word fun!!

So clever!

[handsomemike1]

@xxHannahBanana300xx You're too kind!
