Cheap Thrills: Everyone’s Going Mad (Men)

But also, some of these entries are freaking crazy! It’s like, either the actors takes themselves way too seriously (umm, what’s up with all the camera cuts here?), or they just kinda suck,
OR
they make a mockery of the whole thing. Like this one (clip below), by Victor Fischbarg. He only has 2 votes so far, so he probably won’t get very far. But dude. Come on. The hand? That’s awesome. You’ll win my eternal admiration if you can find a more craptacular character rendition.
