The Best Of YouTube Is Still The Worst

This is the winning video from the YouTube, Toyota "Sketchies II" contest. Bear in mind it is worth $25,000 in cash, $15,000 worth of video equipment, and a meeting with UTA agents.

"Hahaha." Oooph. I am pretty sure I can imagine what that meeting with UTA is going to go like.

Waverly Films: Thanks so much for meeting with us. We're so excited to have won the "Sketchies II" contest. This is like a dream come true.
UTA: Did you bring me my latte?
Waverly Films: What? No, we're here to meet with agents to talk about leveraging our winning sketch into some kind of development or acting deal.
UTA: Oh, I thought you were an intern.
Waverly Films: No.
UTA: Well, that sucks. I really wanted that latte.

That's it, that's the whole meeting. And that's if they're lucky and no one at UTA actually watches this.

Dude, I don't know what you're talking about, but Waverly Films is the shit. Take a look at some of their past work for proof. They've done really awesome music videos for TV on the Radio, Death Cab for Cutie, The Spinto Band, My Morning Jacket and LCD Soundsystem.

OK, you guys make a strong argument, I will look more into Waverly Films, but do you actually think this video is good? Because it's not really a matter of taste, it's a matter of this being horrible.
