Nice !!!!!

Amusing, a little. Not hilarious. And sorry to say, but obvious theft of the ESPN in-house promo spots, right down to the font style. C+

Hasn't TCU played the late game on big Monday before?
I seem to recall a game starting at 11 pm where they asked people to wear pajamas to the game.

I bet you’re a blast at parties.

I bet you’re a blast at parties.

That assumes he gets invited to parties...

 

[ReedFrawg]

I think they are funny.

 

[BrewingFrog]

Dixon has better comedic timing than Dalton, without the benefit of cologne...

 

[BABYFACE]

It is enjoyable to see CJD having some fun. Keep ‘em coming.

Woooooooo, sick burn, bro. I bet you will absolutely kill at prom this year.

Careful...someone said the same thing to Carrie.

Do you also watch movies and look for inconsistencies between scenes instead of enjoying the movie?

And your point is?

It is an intentional spoof of the ESPN promos. That is the obvious part.

And your point is?

Point is, there is a cottage industry of posters on here slamming everything ESPN does as left-wing garbage. Then TCU does a pale imitation of ESPN's content, but painted purple, and it's "hilarious." I'm simply pointing out that sometimes, the purple-clad emperor has no clothes. Homers will rush to ridicule that. The fact that the efforts to do so are sophomoric validates my point.

I'm thinking it was more DMN and ST that said it was hilarious.

Partly true. But I don’t recall anyone complains about their promos. It’s one thing they do without regard to politics or SEC slant.

Dumb.

These spoofs are great. Whoever made them did a great job, and CJD did a great job bringing back his child acting chops.

Yep
