"You're INSANE! Nobody uses Microsoft Works!"
My favorite font in this? Broadway. Broadway steals the show.

That was hilarious...Thanks for the fun!
Posted by: Jennifer | July 24, 2008 at 10:55 AM
Thanks for this. I sent it to all my fontaholic friends (yes, I'm ashamed to admit that I have a few of these), as well as my friends/relatives in publishing.
Posted by: Debbie | July 24, 2008 at 11:10 AM
This is so funny....we have MS Works, and DH was complaining the other night b/c he hates it! I will have to show him this....
Posted by: Amanda N. | July 24, 2008 at 11:20 AM
OMG I just peed my pants!!!!!
Posted by: Kim | July 24, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Dude- that was awesome. My fave font (IRL) is Century Gothic and she was perfect for it. And I think Broadway used to be a local comic?
Cathy- if you find more of these, MAILBOX post them!

Wow this is soooo good. I love seeing people representing the fonts. Very clever and professionally done. Two thumbs up.

OMGosh! That was beyond hillarious. So very clever too. You know you're a font addict when you really *get* that sketch.
TFS!

Posted by: Shelly in the NW | July 24, 2008 at 12:38 PM
OH, and wingdings was my favorite!
Posted by: Sara Carling | July 24, 2008 at 12:43 PM
freaking hilarious! Brilliant!
Posted by: Corey | July 24, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Dude, I just cracked up big time! I'm swimming in font choices as I speak and this made my day!! Thanks!
Posted by: Lisa Day | July 24, 2008 at 12:59 PM
Hee hee! Hilarious! Don't tell, but I DO use Microsoft Works. Shhh.
Posted by: taryn | July 24, 2008 at 01:00 PM
Loved this! And so did everyone else I forwarded the link to.
Posted by: Lisa | July 24, 2008 at 01:00 PM
We've been having this ongoing font discussion at our office for months. THIS WAS SO DARN FUNNY!!!
TFS! You put a bright spot in a rather dismal day.
Posted by: Vicki | July 24, 2008 at 01:19 PM
ROFL!!! Too funny! I love both Century Gothic and Rage Italic. Thanks!
Posted by: Marcie | July 24, 2008 at 01:31 PM
This totally cracked me up! I'm going to be yelling "Mailbox! Mailbox! MAILBOX!" at my kids all day. :P

Posted by: Tamara | July 24, 2008 at 02:28 PM
Absolutely hilarious. My ex and I always teased each other about being font geeks. Yeah, we'd have competitions at recognizing fonts. He'd always win because, well, it was part of his job. :) Thanks for sharing.
Posted by: Cristina | July 24, 2008 at 02:31 PM
This is so funny! I went to a marketing conference recently and one of the bullet points in a website presentation was: Comic Sans is not funny!
Ha Ha!!!
Posted by: Rachel Ann Paci | July 24, 2008 at 03:07 PM
oooohhhh too funny! Thanks for sharing. I began my divorced-with-three-kids-and-no-job-experience 'real work' career, with a job at a Mackintosh service bureau - in the early 90s. Didn't even know how to turn the damn thing on. (The Mac I eventually fell in love with) One of my jobs? Speck type. The owner was a font-aholic and owned billions. I wish he was still with us, he would so appreciate that video.
Posted by: Maureen | July 24, 2008 at 03:56 PM
ROFL I just loved wingdings!

OMG, that was hilarious!! loved wingdings and century gothic!! thanks for the laughs, it was really funny.
Posted by: kim | July 24, 2008 at 09:02 PM
Hahahahahaha
Wingdings was my favorite. Who has the mindset to think these things up, and then enlist people to act them out?!?!?
LOL

Priceless!
Posted by: Kristal | July 25, 2008 at 08:54 AM
Thanks for sharing this on your blog. This is hilarious. I am an admitted font-aholic and to see these fonts brought to life - well, its hysterical. And they look exactly how I pictured them... Broadway and Dingbats were too much fun. Kudos to the brilliant twisted minds that created this video!
Posted by: Sharon F. | July 25, 2008 at 09:14 AM
Awesome.

I'll never use a font again without thinking of "who" it is! Sorry to say that I still use Microsoft Works on my desktop. Dark ages, I know! The type conference TypeCon2008 was in Buffalo this past weekend, but with CHA, I couldn't go. I found out that the owners of P22 type Foundry live right here in town. Cool!
Posted by: Debby Schuh | July 25, 2008 at 09:35 AM
This was great!
Posted by: Michelle | July 25, 2008 at 09:40 AM

Hmm, now who shall I choose for my next project?

Magnificent...I thought I'd bust a gut laughing!
Posted by: Sue | July 26, 2008 at 12:01 PM
That was pure genius- Thanks for the laugh.
Posted by: Debby | July 26, 2008 at 12:43 PM
OMG. That's AWESOME. I am so forwarding this to my dad - and my sister. My dad was a yearbook adviser for years and years and both my sister and I were yearbook editors. I guess you could say font geekiness runs in our family. Thanks for sharing!
Posted by: Colleen | July 26, 2008 at 01:02 PM
So funny! And who thinks it's funny? Only those who have ever used a computer for scrapbooking. I can't imagine my husband even understanding what's going on and he's a computer genius.
Posted by: rubberbandgirl | July 26, 2008 at 03:09 PM
OMG... that was hysterical. Seriously. That was one of the funniest things I think I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing! :)
Posted by: Rebecca | July 26, 2008 at 03:47 PM
That is brilliant! But who was Century Gothic - I know I recognise her but clearly having a senior moment.
Posted by: Sharon | July 27, 2008 at 04:52 AM
LOVE this!! Too stinkin' funny...I'd love to see another installment. LOL

Very VERY funny! I love the part where the pretentious french guy surrenders to the Nazi dude - priceless (and sooo true!). The stereotypes are spot-on!
