Comments on: Why Web Stars Can’t Act, and Why It Doesn’t Matter

I’m surprised that they’ve gotten such viewership. I expected the first couple of episodes to have high views (since everyone wants to go see how it turned out), but didn’t expect it to last at all. No offense to you since you’re a part of the project, but I could barely stand to sit through the first episode, it was so poorly acted AND written. It doesn’t matter who’s in it, I just can’t watch it, and didn’t expect so many people to be able to.

the only thing the numbers prove is a lot of people will watch a lot of crap.

the other stuff you said I agree except, #3 you forgot to add humble too.

Hooking Up would be more interesting if it was a video of sxePhil scarfing down a box of jelly doughnuts. You and Buck couldn’t save that train wreck if you had the slightest chance (which you didn’t get). Woody did right to leverage an audience by building on the pre-established audiences of top creators, but that is the only thing he has done right.

I have to agree that “Hooking Up” sucks. I only subscribed because you were in it, Kevin. sXephil can’t act, and he’s fat. The rest aren’t any better. The plot line and script are ridiculous. The vlogs are boring. Other than that, it’s ok.

@7 Bobby- brilliant investment in WAF. Rabbit Bites has done this well.
@5 Sukatra- as much as I can tell, they killed my character on HookingUp. It was a tragedy really. Something about a beaker of glass breaking. But my ghost may come back for the sequel, “Hoody ‘n Woody Hooking Up.”

Sorry, DahliaK, I am too tired after our teacher workshop day today, to go about correcting tis post. I’ll have to do it tomorrow.

Ok, maybe just a quick one. “Skill sets” is 2 words.

Well, I’d say it doesn’t matter NOW. Like the end of your post says, talent will be a force to reckon with soon. While we at WAF do engage our community/fans, we don’t make enough videos or exploit our hit videos enough (Punchy, NBK 24/7, Teen Tips). That being said, while we’re not huge like Nalts online, we take quite a few meetings here in Hollywood based on what I surmise is interpreted as “talent”. We’ll know soon enough if our latest deal to include some “real world celebs” alongside the WAF crew and just a wee bit of money to improve production value will translate to expanding the WAF brand. Hmmmm….

I think the 2 professors should hook up with each other. That would be hot.

Jesus christ, that hooking up thing blows. It’s not the acting that’s the problem, it’s the writing!

Your performance was not bad considering the crap you were working with. That is, until you got to the “go for a drink? F yes!” You should have quit the show in protest over that line alone.

are you in any other episodes? I have no desire to watch this cesspool of bad writing unless you’re in a particular episode. and even then, I may have to think twice

P.S. I think you direct yourself better than whoever is directing you in the show. Fight for your scenes more, man. This is your chance to be a diva and start a whole new youtube drama. It’s been way too long since weinergate.

If I had known you were going to be so Shakesperean, I would have made more efforts to keep up!
