The Great Sketch Experiment

From , former About.com Guide

The Experiment: JibJab, the popular Internet cartoon makers (This Land, 2-0-5: George W. Bush's Year in Review), "invited more than 50 sketch comedy teams to submit a short, comedy script based on a 'Police' theme. John Landis, director of classics like Animal House and Blues Brothers, chose six of the scripts in August and these selected troupes were brought together in Los Angeles to begin filming The Great Sketch Experiment."
The Sketches: The live-action spoofs, all shot by Landis during a three-day spree, include:
  • Famous Last Nerds: Shawshank in a Minute
  • Riegel & Blatt: Loose Cannon
  • Karla: So You Want to be a Cop
  • Mark & Ari: Small World
  • Elephant Larry: Tall Cop Short Cop
  • Train of Thought: Tom and Tina
I enjoyed the six-pack, but if you have limited time, check out Khristian Leslie's Morgan Freeman impression in Shawshank in a Minute. Strong language.
