I work construction, I've made the tape sound effect for 6 years, everyone on site thinks there's something wrong with me, only one other dude ever got the reference, we laughed so hard, it was a glorious moment.
6 years is a long time to keep working out a reference gag hoping someday someone would get it. I feel like you could have came up with new material in that time
@@avidadolares That’s precisely the beauty in it, though. The more obscure the reference is, the more rewarding it is when it finally connects with someone else. If it’s a reference that literally everyone will know, then there’s really no point or fun in it then.
I thought the sounds were just for comedic effect, until the ending when I realized the character was making those sounds because the machines weren't actually running, and because he'd watched dozens of woodworking videos, he knew what they were supposed to sound like when turned on.
I’m a generalist, or I guess a “builder” (woodworking, metal fab, and 3D printing) but I feel like this all the time whenever I’ve tried something new and it doesn’t work.
I once read a hilarious article about these old folks in New Zealand who have get-together’s to build each others’ coffins. They make a fun party of it. I thought it was an awesome idea.
Oh I need Carrie singing that song. Then maybe the jewelry lady (Carrie's sister?) and furniture guy can get together as a couple and open a store. "They're selling trinkets now".
I am a carpenter by trade and have timbered two caskets. I have to say, honestly, none the women I brought back home was overly impressed by her possible future casket.
I also thought that was fucking funny and the highlight of the episode UNTIL he dragged out all that lame 'furniture' he made! THAT'S when I really lost my shit! LOLOLOL!!!
Has a kid I was working at a ship yard and the owner asked me to build some shelving for the warehouse. He took me over to a pile of scrap wood and 2×4's and just let me have at it. I build the most stupendous hunk of crap shelving. It was sturdy has hell, probably way over built, but wobbled and looked horrible. But he still used it! I was embarrassed every time I walk passed it. I look back and think it was actually a test. I still had a job so maybe he thought I showed promise or he was too kind to can my ass over a bad shelf project.
Vilm Films FYI, it's "FYI". There is no FIY. Hmm. I'm not a carpenter and the 12 people who liked the comment aren't either probably. But, I listen to Adam Carolla's podcasts including Ace on the House, so let me try again for you. Circular saw? Radial arm saw? Close enough I hope.
Lmfao This is so funny to me because my dad is actually a real life 'furniture guy' He built our house and a lot of the furniture in it, he's bad ass 😆👍🏻
Good sound effects. Sounds like the noises coming from our garage, except that real furniture comes out of there. Now do a compressor, and don't forget to shout, " ?&*! Honey, I gotta go back to Home Depot!"
This reminds me of so many people who started woodworking during the pandemic. At least they have end-grain cutting boards and epoxy pours down, though.
Love this sketch. I met so many faux manly men in San Francisco when I lived there that just turned out to be good for nothing hipsters. Mostly repping a hobby like they were real tradesmen. You could always tell by the hands. Also met a lot of folks who had all sorts of nautical tattoos- tall ship chest pieces, compass stars etc. trying to look like weathered adventurers who have never been anywhere. They usually attracted the same type of women though- faux artists, trust funders and the like.
This is brilliant on so many levels. I love how it mocks the idea that we assume manhood means a man being good at woodworking, and the woman only appreciating it cause of the net result, but because he's not good at it, he is somehow not a man anymore. Pretty dark
This skit is extra funny to me. I used to work as a cook, and in that world, everyone fauns over 'masculine men' who do trade work. I then jumped into the trades, and my perspective changed and I realized being able to work with wood is like a normal human male thing, it's a life skill, it's like being able to swim. When I watch this video and it has fake noises for the tools, I feel like whoever wrote the script understands the coming of age tale of men quite well.
My wife has friends who one of their husbands was into woodworking. I got to know him a bit more and learned that he focuses on making tables. Dude eventually talked about it like it was sliced bread and acted like woodworking could empower everyone to take better control of their lives if they could build things by hand. He brought me in one day and it was nothing more than a hobby. It’s like when dudes start BJJ and all of sudden think they’re laid back, carefree, herb smoking surfers who think they’re playing intelligent chess with human bodies.
I find it interesting that each episode belongs on a specific side of town or area... what's the rundown on Portland's different sides of town??? guess you would have to live there to understand.
I think it just points to the overall theme and premise of the show, in how the town is a character In of itself and all the quirkiness that occurs in it is tied into the essence of the setting. At least that’s my two cents.
