This was a good laugh. I'm a little conflicted with the words on the mug. They say to never write "unfilmables" and the word "goodest" will never fit visibly on a mug ha ha. Although to be honest, I don't like the choice anyways. I know that it pertains to the previous exchange where the husband says "I write good", but it shows the wife's sarcastic side-- an almost "I love you even if you're the worst writer" side. And this is at odds with her almost "cold" side that she exhibits in the punch line.

I feel like the wife that makes her struggling husband a sarcastic gift, would never be the wife that says "fuck it" and walks out of the room not giving it to him. It would be better IMO to give them a sort of "Rosanne and Dan" dynamic from the start.

-Overall, good job!

Am I the only one who didn't like it?

This idea ran through my head at every stage of the contest. Breaking the 4th wall is too easy. Would have preferred that the writer tried to live up to the challenge. This has no 'real world' relevance outside of this contest.

Hmm, well, "possibly" I gave one star too many here, not sure, but there's also some fresh and unique within here, that communicates somehow, to me at least, in an odd way, 'well, I show someone who writes what you see now', which I find interesting. Then your very last sentence is where it lacks, yap. As a whole, it shouldn't go into its overall and definite 'we're into this specific contest here direction'.

I mean, what needs to be done to make this understandable to others… place a legend into the text field under the youtube screen that says we had a challenge here and it relies on this and that and then it's funny if you understand in context to A and B… no, does not work

So, I know what you mean but some aspects still work for me as is.

I enjoyed the wife's part. She's a smart cookie. Him? Not so much. Had a too familiar feel for me - the: 'I write good' thing. I dunno, it might make a funny short film.

That was great, Dave. Very well produced and the actors had excellent comedic timing. So random that this was produced but it works well even for someone that doesn't understand the internal struggle that is winning a crappy mug :p

Loved it!
