Broca's and Wernicke's Aphasic Sock Puppets

This was a student made video for extra credit in my Introduction to Psychology Class.
It's really quiet, so you might want to enable the captions. This was a great idea that could have been executed much better. This attempts to demonstrate differences between Broca's and Wernicke's Aphasias. Enable the comments to see some some areas that could have been handled differently.

This not at all what these two kinds of aphasia clinically look like...

I agree. I tried to make that clear in the comments, but let me second your claim here to avoid future confusion.

I hope people do not think this is what the aphasias are like.

Maybe I should have made it clearer that this isn't a good representation of the different aphasias. This was a good idea for an extra credit video. However, it could have been executed much better.

[TigraNead]

Can I ask what subject this extra credit video was for? And what was your aim?

[knappsych]

It was for an Introductory Psychology Class. My Aim was to get students to apply what they learned in an entertaining and educational fashion.

[TigraNead]

I am glad you agree that this is not what the aphasias are like. Good for you to encourage students to create something entertaining and educational. Unfortunately I feel it has failed on both accounts. It's more cringeworthy than entertaining. Whilst it may be somewhat educational, by not being a true, or near true, representation it is more misleading.
