When's Jake gonna be able to hold down a job at least for more than one episode?

I know this is probably a bit of a touchy subject. But anything and everything can be a subject when it comes to musical theater. You must remember that this is not a direct attack on anybody. It's only a view that can be taken of that topic. While this may not be the preferred view that some people would like to see, it is only an opinion, not fact.

[hollahollagangsta]

fabulous.

the best since the first episode.

[BroadwayJonathan]

Laurel, who plays the receptionist here, is now understudying the role of Elphaba and performing in the ensemble in Wicked's 2nd National Tour! :-)

[deafedteacher97]

How completely distasteful! The term "Deaf and Dumb" is outdated and politically incorrect. If anyone wants to see a great representation of sign language in song- go to Glee's Hairology episode.

This one is utterly dispicable!

[1973scott]

I played this biotch in one take .......

[broadwaymuch]

hilarious Jake!

p.s. i dont really think insulting an entire culture was really his goal. You have to remember that these are just fun videos that he produces to showcase some talent, not to make fun of people or seem superior to others.

[AdrianaMichele78]

I work with Jake's mom, and I really love these videos. They're awesome!

[eddiePUGILIST]

WHAT! JOEY HARO??

[frolicwithbugs]

nice job, it's such a hit.

ive always wanted a show with original musical numbers in it.

and now we have one.

love love love.

[travtrev]
