This is probably my favorite of all of Mr Cohen's videos. I giggled throughout the first time I saw it. I thought he had some sort of script but apparently it's all improvised...
After I got my MLIS degree I thought I would be around creative, inspiring people who love books; but, as I realized even during my graduate program, I am environed by people just like this, weathered and grimly cadaverous. Thank you for this video. It helps put my 40 hours a week of library drudgery--reinforced by my insipid colleagues and condescending patrons--in perspective. Librarians: society's exemplars of alienation and purposelessness.
I really liked it, libraries are wonderful places but can be quite sad.. this was excruciating like 'the office' is excruciating.. in an entertaining and satyrical way. I too would prefer a search engine called goggle - now there's a niche in the market! :)
Excellent improvisation! I especially enjoyed the part on goggle vs. books, and the idea of having a hand library. :)

The only funny thing about this is the fact that it was made by someone named Mister Butt.

A highly entertaining short. Decent acting and lots of good humour. Nice work

I might have enjoyed it if the audio hadn't been awful. Get a better mike, or just speak up a bit.
