Truly a lost art.
Finally, a comedy group that is not out there for the cheap laugh! The Junk Drawer's videos are what comedy should be; clean, well thought and FUNNY. I'm personally tired of watching stupid video after stupid video that involves flatulence and crude remarks. Give me the slapstick, give me the well timed dialogue that has been painfully missing from the current generation. Theirs is truly an art-form that reminds us all of what Comedy Film were and should be. Thank you Junk Drawer for holding true to the Comedy foundation that has been laid down. Hopefully more will catch on, but until then, may you be a pioneer in this lost wilderness of Humor.
