And by God, what has happened to comedy? I only saw about 4 videos in Comedy that had a decent shot of competing; the rest just missed the mark completely or somehow mis-categorized their video.
Wow, that kind of year again, huh? Feeling a tad apprehensive now.

Comedy is the hardest genre of video to edit for most people, I think. Humor is just so subjective, and it's difficult to get right. The comedy category always seems to be the one with the fewest submissions in any given contest, my own included.

Hey, I went 2001 on people with a Tenacious D song. We can rock the turn of the millennium all together with semi-trolling decade old music |:> |:>

If it's the same video you sent to my contest, it definitely made me laugh. :)

Great. I'm in comedy.

Mixed feelings on this. Crossing my fingers that mine was one of the good ones.

Has it been mentioned anywhere when the finalists will be announced?
