Comedy Sketchs don’t usually have sequels - I didn’t even know it was possible - but you guys have managed to create a special one! Brilliant wordplay! As ever, thanks so much for sticking around KZbin and bringing us laughs and joy

[@closeben]

The Abduction trilogy is my favourite.

[@Jomskylark]

I think this is more of a remake than a sequel? But yeah it's great

[@jerbear7952]

I've come from three years in the future to tell you that some guy in Ohio doesn't think this counts a sequel. He won't be that bent out of shape but he will argue that it has none of the original creators involved. He will also stop arguing with people on KZbin once his omlet is done in a few minutes. I mean how long could it really take someone to make an omelet.

[@moneyreadings]

the twist with the make up was absolutely insane. i didn't even realize that was how they were responding to the first two makeups until the last one. its amazing.

[@jwmann]

Chris & Jack are severely underrated. Get these boys to 1 mil subs!

[@blazer_nation7718]

Reading this I was shocked when I realized they weren’t passed that yet. This is a crime

[@duffman18]

Yeah they're on such a higher level to all other Internet sketch comedy. Give them a show like Key and Peele and they'd knock it out of the park (pun intended). Seriously. They're so imaginative and the production quality is minimum TV quality, but I've seen worse made things on TV so it's even better than TV quality in a way, and with a shoestring budget compared to what TV shows spend. And the writing and acting is spot on, top notch, and other clichés that are also true in this case. Jack is already relatively famous in showbiz. He was one of the main characters in Avatar the Last Airbender. So I'm hoping that's their way in, they already know people, and success in showbiz is mostly about who you know. And so once this channel blows up in popularity as it surely will eventually, TV studios will greenlight a whole show of them. KZbin channel popularity is exponential. Once they pass certain subscriber thresholds, the sub count will start to increase in the rate that it increases, more and more people will get recommended the videos and more and more will subscribe. It's always like that, years of being relatively low in subs, then eventually something just clicks and the sub count increases exponentially, which leads to more subs, which leads to more subs. A snowball effect. Fingers crossed it happens soon for them. I really love these videos.

I remember the fire time I saw “Who’s On First” It was so goofy and yet so well written and executed that I loved it. I was expecting you guys to just recreate it word for word, and I was completely down for that. Then you went and made it your own!! If seen people make their own versions of this before and it feels so gimmicky or contrived, but the struggling friend who wants the other to be supportive really made this your own version. I loved it!! Great work, again, guys!

[@DejaVince]

This sketch is some next level meta stuff. There's layers and layers of irony and I had to rewatch this like 4 times to really appreciate the cleverness. I think my favorite meta joke was where Chris actually says why the real sketch is funny at 2:51 but in the context of the sketch's sketch. You guys are hilarious and I always look forward to your videos.

For the love of god get these guys a TV show deal. They're at least as good if not better than Key and Peele, and Key and Peele are absolutely incredible as it is, so a whole show of Chris and Jack would be amazing. Another of my favourites is Mitchell and Webb, their TV show of sketch comedy was fantastic, and Chris and Jack reminds me a lot of Mitchell and Webb actually, the same kind of humour, plus a lot of meta stuff like this baseball sketch here, and something like the misogynist bridge troll sketch would absolutely be something Mitchell and Webb would do, like their sketches about how the moon landing hoax conspiracy theory is absolutely nuts, and the sketch about how homeopathy is ridiculous.
