A few days ago I asked for lines of dialogue for a story I was going to write. As expected, you guys came through with some gems. Breadsticks…dead birds…hampers? Loved it.
The result: this video, the first (and maybe last) installment of Video Mad Libs here on the blog. I think everyone who submitted lines will find this amusing. As for everyone else? I have no idea. Let me know in the comments if this is something you want to see again.
One quick logistical note: The reason I stumble through this at a few points is because it truly is the first time I’m reading it. I wrote the story and left blanks for the quotes, then I copied and pasted the lines of dialogue from the comments section into the story. How did I do that without reading them? It wasn’t easy. I had to do it out of my peripheral vision so my eyes couldn’t focus on the words. Try it sometimes, it makes for a great migraine.
Okay, no more ado. Here it is…

What did you think? If you enjoyed it, let us know and we’ll do it again.












that was awesome. the “gird your loins” line made me bust out in laugher at work. good times.
Funny…definitely think you should do it again. Good thing you weren’t the one whispering the breadstick line into Erica’s ear or it would have sounded pretty dirty.
Defiantly do it again, way funny!! Breadsticks and ninjas, it doesn’t get much better.
BTW…..is that a Mock V-neck? LOL
i thought it was hilarious – though i admit to being easily amused. well done. now gird your loins and watch out for tranny’s eating french onion soup.
You definitely have to do that again! Seriously got tears in my eyes laughing so hard. I’m impressed how some of the lines actually had near-appropriate context. Nice job, Bryan.
That brings back some family road trip memories! Great concept. I love that it was unrehearsed.
That was pretty funny…I never could make it through a Mad Lib without laughing either.
for every grain of sand on the beach there is a bird somewhere that dies! hilarious!
this was actually pretty funny. also funny to hear your voice after all these years and the ever so slight lingering new bedford accent.
Do it again! Do it again!
I like my lines the best. Does that make me an a-hole? Seriously though, this idea is brilliant. What if you had illustrations or animations to go along with the story? I’d be interested in helping with that.
couldn’t breath and almost woke up my roomate i was laughing so hard, this must be something you do more
