Ultimate Facebook Contest Post 5!!!!! (Blog 408)

Another 15 short video contests have gone by since my last UFCP, (not to be confused with Ultra Fine Carbon Particles, which in contrasts to my writings can be dangerous) now it’s time to give the 15 scores, previously only shown on my special Facebook page. Pretty much no one reads them, so it’s all been a waste of time? Yes. But only for a while. Not any more, because yep, they’re now here! It hasn’t been a waste of time, right? Let’s find out, just be warned what you’re about to read follows the exact same format as the last similar post! But it’s Christmas, a time for love, presents and crucially, forgiveness.

Contest 61

1st place:

Matt Jones

Comments on his vid: Pioneering a new kind of comedy AND way of speaking!

Scores:

Funniness: 3.75

Charisma: 4.25

Originality: 4

Structure: 4

Overall: 4/5

Now for the comments on the comments that have just now been written for this blog!: I wish I could remember what the brief summary of the vid meant. HOW is it pioneering a new kind of comedy, and impressively, a new way of speaking? On the plus side, it does want me to check out the video again… Oh wait, I didn’t. It was bad writing from me then, wasn’t it?

Like last month’s video, but longer. And better!

Funniness: 4

Charisma: 4.25

Originality: 4

Structure: 4.25

Overall: 4.125/5

That lack of effort all those months ago really is biting me in the bum now isn’t it? No idea what I was on about. But what I do know is… the video is better. :O

Matt Jones is addicted to coffee! That’s nothing, Matt, come with me. I’ll show you the proper stuff - 7Bone milkshakes. Sshhhh.

Originality: 4.25

Acting: 4.25

Funniness: 3.85

Production: 3.5

Effort: 3.5

Overall: 3.87

Ah, 7bone shakes. Haven’t had one in a while. At very least, I have spread the word about something positive.

Contest 64

1st

Matt Jones

Matt says living by the beach makes you crazy? Yes, seaside towns in England often have higher crime rates! Maybe Matt’s time could be better spent not as a comedian, but a sage.

Originality: 4

Acting: 4.25

Funniness: 3.75

Production: 3

Effort: 3.5

Overall: 3.7/5

Finally, a comment I’m happy with! Also, I wonder why there is so much crime in seaside towns. Maybe because it’s so tempting to push people in the water.

Contest 65

Matt thinks dinosaurs in Breaking Bad is a bad idea? Huh. Let’s agree to disagree.

Originality: 4

Acting: 4.25

Funniness: 4

Production: 3.75

Effort: 3.75

Overall: 3.95/5

Yep, that’ll do. Imagine a T-rex on drugs. Terrifying, thrilling.

Contest 66

Matt Jones

Maybe this person could benefit with some lithium, but would his rapping be quite so thrilling? Maybe no.

Originality: 4.25

Acting: 3.75

Funniness: 3.75

Production: 3

Effort: 3.75

Overall: 3.7/5

Ohhh, terrible advice from me there, telling people not to take lithium. Unless you want to see energetic rapping, like I do.

Contest 67

Matt Jones

Tear licking genius!

Originality: 4

Acting: 4.25

Funniness: 4.25

Production: 4

Effort: 4

Overall: 4.1/5

That looks like three random words in a random order, but in the video Matt licked someone’s tears away as an act of kindness and it was great.

Not perfect advice from Matt, sure, it may even be criminal, but as I’m not sure if anyone reads these comments, I say keep up with your illegal humour!

Originality: 4

Acting: 4.25

Funniness: 4.25

Production: 3.75

Effort: 3.75

Overall: 4/5

Ohhh, no one reads these Facebook competition comments? They do now! (Maybe). If so, bum very bitten. Now we’re into criminal territory which is very bad. Imagine a criminal refusing his lithium, though! You see, things can always be worse. Christmas - a time for philosophising and forgiveness!

Contest 69

1st

Matt Jones

I don’t know what’s more impressive, playing a didgeridoo with your bum or Brendan Fraser getting a few years younger and performing alongside Matt. :O L’Oreal will be all over him.

Originality: 4.25

Acting: 4.25

Funniness: 4.25

Production: 3.75

Effort: 3.75

Overall: 4.05/5

Turns out I was wrong about Brendan Fraser getting younger, it was someone else. Christmas - a time for honesty and forgiveness.

Contest 70

1st

Matt Jones

When you make it in Hollywood you get cloned? I wouldn’t mind if someone cloned Matt so we could have even more of his excellent comedy material! :D

Originality: 4.5

Acting: 4

Funniness: 3.75

Production: 4

Effort: 4

Overall: 4.05/5

Yep, sounds fair enough to me. He does post a lot on his Youtube channel, though. Christmas - a time for celebration and forgiveness.

Contest 71

1st

Matt Jones

An angry McDonald’s customer complaining there is no steak? So he goes to Burger King instead? There are no steaks there either, you want a steakhouse! Whatever the case, funny video!

Originality: 4

Acting: 4.25

Funniness: 4

Production: 3.75

Effort: 3.75

Overall: 3.95/5

(Ok BK does a steakhouse burger, but that’s not a true steak. I think).

Contest 72

Matt Jones

I would score this video higher, but I’m guessing the main character is basically me in the future. Upsetting stuff.

Originality: 4

Acting: 4.25

Funniness: 4.25

Production: 4.25

Effort: 4

Overall: 4.15/5

The highest score far and it should have been higher? Oh Matt, if only I didn’t find the thought of myself to be so troubling, you could have had a REALLY epic score!

Contest 73

1st

Matt Jones

Comments: As this video isn’t really supposed to be TRULY funny, I felt it right to add a new criteria: Informativeness. And it is an informative video. The originality score isn’t too high as Matt admits to repeating the ideas of others, but he does deliver the ideas in a new way, I’m presuming. Unless the philosopher inspiring the video has a wacky sense of humour, too. Einstein did, so it can happen! Not too much thought went into the production as it’s just Matt in front of a beige (I think?? Beige-ish??) screen, but at least he got the beige screen. On the whole, a damn good video.

Originality: 3.75

Acting (or rather presenting): 4.25

Funniness: 3.75

Production: 3.5

Effort: 3.75

Informativeness: 5

Overall: 4/5!

4 out of 5? A nice round number, too. Wowee!

Contest 74

Matt Jones

Matt Jones is hosting his own comedy show? He’s too nice a person to say he’s powning the other comedians, but he basically is. Or maybe that’s just me! Whatever the case, nice video!

Originality: 4

Acting (or rather presenting): 4.25

Funniness: 4

Production: 3.5

Effort: 3.5

Overall: 3.85/5!

Ah the greatest word in the world, with an ultra mysterious origin. Pown. Love it, very much in fact. I wonder who invented it. Christmas - a time for deep reflection and forgiveness.

More wise words from Matt, but this time he uses cool 3D artwork and mentions the exotic word ‘Ikigai’! And Google says it’s a real word, even though it sounds like the joke words ‘icky guy’! I know I’ll be using it all the time!! :O

Well maybe not all the time. I’ve certainly thought about the word a lot these last two days, though. Maybe that’s for the best. Would you rather someone think about you or talk about you? Empathy is important even for words, I think.

Right! Blog almost over! There are no prizes for guessing who won this 15 month long competition as it only features Matt, but let’s rank his videos to see if he’s improving over time…

1st: Contest 72: 4.15 (Remember it should have been higher. Let’s give it 4.2).

Seems to be in a more or less random order, doesn’t it? No, I guess best scoring contest ever, number 72 was fairly recent… Awesome, he is improving over time. Finally a tip for Matt, keep using 3D artwork! It’s great! And maybe have some more Japanese words! Here’s one for you: Konnichiwa! Aaaaaand…. bye! Oh yes one more thing, it may seem a bit creepy how I’m apparently so obsessed with Matt, he’s just easy to get hold of that’s all. Nothing weird. Bye!
