And yeah, the Secret Wars idea was a lot funnier than the execution, although the execution was decent, I thought.

Oh, I totally agree that the Clowes piece could have been better - but I just got a kick out of seeing the material being acted out!

I loved Kang.

Yeah - He seemed a bit apolagetic and unsure of himself, which is completely wrong for Lloyd Llewellyn

Yeah, the people in that Lloyd Llewellyn piece were the only problem with it. Namely, the main guy, who is totally wrong for the part.

I liked the Lloyd Llewellyn clip. But that might be just because it was shot in Philly.

The reenactment thing is funnier as an idea than as an actual sketch.

I know about the Mr. Show sketch, because I'm a massive Bob and David fan. But I've read the Mr. Show book, with comments about individual skits, and I think it was Brian Poeshan or maybe Bill Odenkirk who based that sketch on him hearing about Trekkies doing that.

"Did anyone else here ever hear about a group of Star Trek fans who will go to Civil War reenactments or Rennaisance fairs and walk around like they have â€œtraveled back in time.â€"

I have. They were on the Daily Show years ago. A bafflung confluence of geekiness, it is.

I loved the re-enactment thing, but to me the performances weren't really up to the material in I Hate You. I always pictured Dennis Leary playing Lloyd Llewellyn

There was an episode of the comedy sketch show, MR. SHOW, that had something like that in it.

I have not heard that, but that sounds pretty damn classic.

Did anyone else here ever hear about a group of Star Trek fans who will go to Civil War reenactments or Rennaisance fairs and walk around like they have "traveled back in time."

I know that isn't necessarily tied into anything, but the Secret Wars reenactment reminded me of that.
