I can see it’s funny. It looks like they are doing some great site gags – and they are – but we can’t hear the words, or the audience response. This reel keeps tossing out surprises, but I feel like I’m watching a Kung Fu movie translated into English…

Seriously, Pluck kicks butt but I’d recommend staying away from a soundtrack if it looks like you are talking or doing audience interaction… I’ve watched producers turn off a lot of videos the second this starts happen.
