Some selected responses:
Shit Christopher Lloyd!
Back in the DeLorean!
This sequel will suck!I use sticky web
Like Spidy and Green Goblin.
Take down that raptor.Screaming to trees,
I’m not that good of a treat.
I have many fleas.I would climb high

A boy and girl are chatting in a bar. The boy is smoking and leaving smoke rings into the air.

An old video, but I just came across it today. This guy is a genius, with loads of class to go with it. Well done!
