Parodies of rappers reading classics get old fast

Helpful for morons, useless for the intelligent.

The videos are dumb and not funny, they try way too hard. However, without the visual/audio component, it's hilarious. I picked up a copy to read casually in the bookstore a while back and it made me laugh out loud a couple of times

They're Sparknotes for people Sparknotes. Shameful.

As if someone can't even read a summary unless it's made 'relevant' and punctuated by jokes.

Has he done Pynchon or DFW yet? What about Gaddis?

I like him even though I agree it's a bit too tryhard and not funny, sometimes his analyses do bring something new I hadn't thought of before.

I enjoy Wisecrack's videos. They're simple and, as others have already stated, try to hard to be funny but I still enjoy their content.

No, not yet.

The jokes aren't funny enough to keep me entertained. The summary/analysis isn't in depth enough to keep me interested.
I would keep away but we actually watch them I class and even the people who enjoyed them in at first have gotten bored.
