    You've been Melissa'd

    It's really hard to tell what tone you are going for. I have no idea whether to take this serious or not like if the camera man is legitimately mad about this or if this is a bit. Maybe that's why you guys didn't make money off of the Sincerely Kevin vid

      I think this is the best comment weโ€™ve ever received.

      @Upside Down Creative Media why?

      Logan Simmons Itโ€™s a great compliment. Thatโ€™s all. We want people to think exactly what you thought. Leave it up to the viewer to decide. It is the intent of the entire series.

    Without commenting on which ("Melissa Seals the Deal" vs. "Sincerely Kevin") I found funnier, I think "stealing" is way too strong and provocative a word to describe the connection between the two works. They share the same conceptual jump-off point–protagonist interacting with invisible love interest–but in terms of everything else–tone, style, scripting, and jokes–they seem completely different to me.

      If you take away the "conceptual jump-off point" from the SNL version, is it still funny?

      Haha, it's hard to say, but I would probably still find it funny because the jokes in the SNL sketch are so unexpected and silly in in a way that hits my weak points, humor wise. The tiny tongue joke makes me laugh thinking about it. Also Melissa brings a lot of charm to it and that helps lift the jokes and make them feel good. If there was an actual person, it would probably lose some humor, though.

      I respect that and donโ€™t disagree with you at all. I hate that this came across as directed at her. I think I am a little โ€œbutt hurtโ€ because Iโ€™m at the age (37) where my time has already passed to work on SNL. For the past 12 years, I have had a lot of my work directly ripped off from big companies (60 Second Mocks vs Mini Mocks) and see a lot of parallels in the concepts in SNL and my own work. Anyway, thanks for the thoughtful comment.

    You're not asking the right question: Which episode of The Simpsons are UDCM and Melissa ripping off?

    1. @TheMarshallMalone

      Which episode is it?
