DOUG SCROOGE - (original comedy - "A Christmas Carol" parody)

[Pluckje]

This is So genius in every way. I came back this time because I missed Cowboy guy and his rude comments. He should have his own show. Dougs reaction to "humbug" is so funny that it makes me forget that there's just one actor in that scene. Brilliant piece of art, this whole movie.

[ThePianoShack]

@Pluckje Fair Maiden!!! I couldn't be more pleased & encouraged with a comment than this one. Thank you so much for noticing the little things & pointing them out. Keeps me encouraged, no doubt! :) Thank you so much for the kind words.....

[damonkey48]

[wingman115]

Good Job I loved it!

[ThePianoShack]

@wingman115 Thanks so much!!!!

[Pluckje]

Really...this is too funny! I can't pick just one favorite scene. Grumpy grampee made me laugh and I must say, Cowboy Guy must be my favorite character: he is so rude I wouldn't want him near me but his comments just crack me up and I mean totally, even though it's inappropriate. Amazing staircase scene. The girl's make up & lighting on it is just gorgeous. Another funny scene was the one where the light went on and all four of you were in bed HAA Great job, this professional video.

[ThePianoShack]

@Pluckje Ahhh, I LOVE all your greet feedback maiden!!! So glad you liked Cowboy Guy & the gang! :) Really appreciate it. Happy holidays!!!!!

[ThePianoShack]

@GordonIatiMusic Gordon, thanks so much & merry Christmas to you too!!!!

[TalentkeyMedia]

[ThePianoShack]

@TalentkeyMedia ha....thanks so much my friend, that's GREAT to hear!!!! I love making people laugh so your comment makes me happy. :)

[starsareshining14]

This was actually so amazing :) You're a great actor! so creative !

[ThePianoShack]

@starsareshining14 You TRULY just made my day!!! Thank you so much for the kind words! Especially the part about my acting. :) I work really hard at it, so it's so nice to get such encouraging feedback. Have a wonderful Christmas!

[djc728]

Great job. . .I'm sure that's a tree you'd like to plant. LMAO

[ThePianoShack]

@djc728 ha....we had Santa say several different things when we shot this but that line came out the funniest. I'm glad you liked & thnxs for the awesome feedback!!! :)

[djc728]

@ThePianoShack That line was classic. I'm curious as I'm a software developer - what software package did you use to make the final file -- FINAL CUT for the Mac or some other audio/video software.

[ThePianoShack]

@djc728 I'm a mac owner but have bootcamp & actually edit on the windows side. The program I use is Sony Vegas 10. I tried to work with Final Cut last year, but found it very frustrating. I know a lot of editors swear by it & I have no doubts it's a powerful program, but I'm far more proficient in & prefer Vegas. Thnxs for asking!

[lynage1]

Chris, you and your cast did a stellar performance...we loved your " cowboy"...um-m-m-m look's like you have lots of charecters in you(lol) and I really like "Doug" ....not last, but your original music was great also!

[ThePianoShack]

@lynage1 This makes me SO very happy to hear!!!! :) Thanks for all the kind words. We worked really hard on this so it's nice to hear specific things you appreciated. Take care & have a great Christmas!

[cheekychickenhead]

Nice Flash Gordan T-shirt. Love the cowboy character, hilarious but also like Doug Scrooge kind of nerdy and cute : ) You did an amazing job on putting this all together mate. These kind of videos are the reason I watch a lot less TV and more YT these days. Merry Christmas.

[ThePianoShack]

@cheekychickenhead Tam, TOO cool!!!!! :) Thanks so much. Coming from you.....I'm honored!

[MDMesser001]

A very entertaining and funny bit! My personal favorite is always "Cowboy Guy" - "You know you're spitting on the floor, right?" A real LOL moment. But look below my comment! YOU GOT VANCE PERRY to comment! I'm VERY impressed!

[ThePianoShack]

@MDMesser001 Thanks so much Mike!!!! Glad you liked cowboy guy & my "spitting on the floor" line! ha. :) And yeah, Vance Perry....very cool indeed! Have a great holiday my friend!

[vanceperry]

@jeetdg2012 Jeet my buddy! Thanks SO much for all the kind words!!! Really encouraging to hear (especially the part about me being a good actor). I work really hard to improve in all areas, so feedback like that really makes my day!!!!

[xXmellmellXx]

lmao waking up with three extra people in your bed isn't all it's cracked up to me...i know cuz my friends thought it would be fun to do that to me on my birthday...ANYWAYS, made me giggle like always, can't wait for the next one :)

[ThePianoShack]

@xXmellmellXx ha....yeah the 3 people in bed thing is truly not all it's cracked up to be! :) Thanks for all the kind words & so glad you liked!!!

[Monker4444]

2:14 made me laugh out loud. And I loved the "I am Doug" song, pretty broadway in sound. The bit with the fly swatter at the beginning made me laugh as well. And I also really loved how you delivered the line at 1:26. Same with the "I love Christmas. It's my favorite holiday," line just a few seconds later. For having such an out-there plot line, Doug still remained a very relatable and familiar sort of character and that was demonstrated through the portrayal of him. This was super funny! :o)

[ThePianoShack]

@Monker4444 Monker!  This is a really cool detailed feedback....love it!!! Thanks for pointing out the things that were working for you. You're awesome! :)

[forensicdrew]

It's so bad, it's good. I've shared it as much as I can. Let's see what happens.

[ThePianoShack]

@forensicdrew ha..nice! Thanks for sharing my friend!!!! Helps me out a lot.

[TheCandleBurns]

Hilarious! Haha and I love the "I am Doug Scrooge" song. Very broadway-esque. Or whatever the term is :) Merry Christmas!

[ThePianoShack]

@TheCandleBurns Too cool! Glad you liked, thanks! And yeah, throwing a little broadway -esqueness in there for ya! :)

[fredfanhomie]

*smacks him in the face* AAAHHHH!!!! *SMACKS AGAIN* WHHHEEEEEEOOUH GRANPY! LMAO

[ThePianoShack]

@fredfanhomie ha....Fred, you & I share the same sense of humor my friend. :) Thanks for watching!!!!

[ClarkJaman]

You are one talented guy! Merry Christmas! :)

[ThePianoShack]

@ClarkJaman Clark....you ROCK buddy! :) Thanks so much!

[Fenyx125Sparks]

Man this is great. I hope you make more, maybe like a series for every holiday or somethin. Have a great christmas chris..^-^.

[ThePianoShack]

@Fenyx125Sparks Thanks so much!!!! I'm absolutely planning more comedy shorts of this nature, so please stay tuned! :)

[petsharon]

[shadesofk3]

Hahaha....this cracks me up! Great job! :)

[ThePianoShack]

@shadesofk3 ha...thanks Kendra!!!!  I'm a goofball, you can say it. :)

[kingdomofchrissmith]

Wow! That was great! When Doug started singing I thought we were venturing into Danny Elfman territory again. Somehow I think you'd create an awesome Nightmare Before Scrooge soundtrack. Too bad it was so short. I had to check how long it was because I was hoping it would become a full-fledged musical. ^___^

[ThePianoShack]

@kingdomofchrissmith Oooooh, goodness... how I DO like to venture into Danny Elfman territory now & then Chris! :) Thanks so much buddy! I really enjoyed putting this together & your great feedback is the icing on the cake! Merry Christmas & happy new year!

[RemyxedMagic]

Too funny!

[ThePianoShack]

@RemyxedMagic Thanks so much!!!!

[ThePianoShack]

@ethancmoody Thanks Clifford!!!! Once again, I'm glad you could be a part of it too! You always come through for me. :)

[DevaXfish]

ahahaah (^_^) excellent!

[ThePianoShack]

@DevaXfish Thanks so much!!!! :)

[jaredcicon]

Yeah, this is awesome. New required annual viewing for the Cicon family. Love the extra (un-necessary) fly-swatter slap. "Go play with your ass-box" - comedy gold.

[ThePianoShack]

@jaredcicon Jared!!! Too cool buddy, coming from one of my favorite directors....I'm honored! Thanks man & merry Christmas to you & the fam! :)

[thatsmisskellytoyou]

My favorite character by FAR is Grampee lol great short, Chris!!!! Amazing job!!!!

[ThePianoShack]

@thatsmisskellytoyou ha....thanks Kelly!!!! Yeah, I like Grampee too. He reminds me of many an old coot I've witnessed propped up in front of the tv smoking a cigar & swatting flies. :) Merry Christmas!!!

[TheBig5Brass]

Awesome short, Chris. It's hilarious!

[ThePianoShack]

@TheBig5Brass Greg! Thanks again buddy & merry Christmas! :)

[Jakathera]

[ThePianoShack]

@Jakathera ha...yeah that guy needs a punch in the face! lol. And yeah, Cliff channels Snape quite well. I've known him since we were kids & he was Snape before Snape was Snape.....if that make any sense. :) Thanks for the awesome feedback!!!

[TheMusicalPoppy]

[Moose1223]

Merry Christmas, Shack! Totally loved this, especially the way you portrayed the grandfather. Good god, those legs.

[ThePianoShack]

@Moose1223 ha....thanks Moose!!!! Actually those scary legs belong to my friend who was grandpas "stand-in." But for the record, my legs are just as frightening! :) Merry Christmas buddy! -Shack

[Moose1223]

@ThePianoShack I'm sure they are, but props for your friend the stand-in, because good god....... frightening is only half of it :p thanks for replying, Shack!

[Ivansvideocollection]

Awesome! Loved the whole thing!

[ThePianoShack]

@Ivansvideocollection Too cool! Thanks Ivan!!!!!

[pabloven64]

My favorite character has to be the tobacco spitting, wreath stealing adulterer who selflessly devotes his time at church! lol

Great job as usual Chris!!

Paul V.

[ThePianoShack]

@pabloven64 Paul, ha....thanks man, that's great to hear!!!! Yeah, I like to throw a tobacco spitting, wreath stealing adulterer who selflessly devotes his time at church into my stories every once in a while. :)

[pabloven64]

@ThePianoShack LOL... well, that's just one of many things I really like about you man! but seriously.. keep doing what you're doing Chris! You're a multi-talented guy.

Hope you have a Great Christmas my friend,

[ThePianoShack]

@hartbeat Hart!!!! Your comment means a LOT to me cause I know you understand how much work it is to put vids together. Thanks for watching & for the great comment! You ROCK! But we already knew that. :)

[htornado]

Great spin on "A Christmas Carol" Chris! Terriffic job, really funny, hope you have an awesome holiday!!

[ThePianoShack]

@htornado Thanks again my friend & happy holidays to you too!!!!! :)

[Doveofserenity]

I liked the young Doug Scrooge as he walked up to front of church, and bowed down; and threw his arms out like "TaDa Ghosts" I am Doug not Ebenezer. Loved the whole video, well put together; and you played most of the characters yourself; just as you play most of the instruments in your other videos, yourself. Great work Chris.

[ThePianoShack]

@Doveofserenity Thanks so much Dove!!! We really put a lot of hard work into this, so your kind feedback is SO greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas! :)

[Thejazffer]

amazing f**k! oops! did i said Fact?

[matthewjordanmusic]

DUDE! Have you ever thought about moving to LA and pursuing acting along with your music? Because you're like Jim Carrey in the making here.... lol.

I agree with the comment about this being reminscent of Dr. Horrible. Really excellent work buddy! Liked and fav'd :)

[ThePianoShack]

@matthewjordanmusic Matt!!! HUGE thanks buddy, your comment really inspires me! I absolutely want to do the acting/directing thing along with music. Haven't decided if LA is the right move for me but as I continue to create, I think the path will reveal itself. That sounded really cosmic & mystical...ha. Anyway, you know what I mean. :) Thanks again man!

[MultiPlazer]

friggin awesome

[ThePianoShack]

@MultiPlazer Cool, thanks so much!!!!!!

[BatmansFavoriteGirl]

Reminds me of Dr. Horrible. The whole singing thing.. but in the best way possible. Amazing job. Props...

[ThePianoShack]

@BatmansFavoriteGirl Hey that's GREAT to hear!!!! I've honestly not see Dr Horrible but I've heard all about it, so I'm assuming the singing parts were what reminded you of it, yes? Thanks for the kind words & tell Batman I said hi! :)

[iheartmassey]

Oh my gosh! This turned out great!! I miss my jack asses line though :-) So proud to be part of this.

[ThePianoShack]

@iheartmassey Rachel!!! ha...glad you liked! Yeah, I miss your jackass line too. It was a hard decision to trim certain things out but it really came down to the running time. This youtube crowd is so young & ADD they tune out quick so I had to lose some things I love. Ahhh well. Thanks for watching & you did an AWESOME job! :)
