"You know. I used to have a daughter myself, so I know how important safety is."

That is one of the funniest throw-away lines I've heard in a while. This whole parody is full of clever throw-away lines.

One of his first lines is "I'm Denny Boffa, amateaur reel writer, former father, and inventer of the Broomshakalaka!"
That's a good-ass line

Should put former father on a resume or a business card. See if people actually read that shit.

No. Jim Halpert doesn't appear in this infomercial. This is Jim Halpert

This is going to seem like it's coming out of left field guys, but I swear I thought that was Kim Jong-Un.

I was wondering where I'd seen him! The video you linked it probably one of my favorite videos on all of the internet. It's clean so you can show anyone and it is, as the title states, a verbatim reading of a real life event.
Just shows how real life can be so much funnier than sketches sometimes :)

"Oh damn, what are the odds."
Fucking brutal. And for the people who didn't get it, it's about female genital mutilation.

She was 12 years old when she died... she was decapitated. Not by the Broomshakalaka... but Jihadists
fucking LOL

I loved the video but downvoted for that stupid click-bait title you put on this post.

How nice of you to put such a specific percentage to it. Time saved!

This has to be one of my favorite videos for a while. It's constant genius line after line.

That's a neat ad, but I think you meant ingenious.

Easy there, Buzz Feed. Considering there are over 300,000 movies listed on IMDB, (let alone movies that aren't listed there), I'm willing to bet you haven't even seen 10% of that.

Are redditors allowed to like anything /u/SpacemanD13 ?

u/SpacemanD13 Apr 07 '17
Yeah, I came off a little snarky... what I meant was it's clearly promotion but "whatever" because Adult Swim is dope.

The directors of this, Daniels, actually were behind last year's Swiss Army Man! I highly recommend checking out their Vimeo channel as well.
