I think maybe just breaking it up visually with like a quick fade or transition of some kind in some parts would make it a little more engaging.
Amusing ones rarely get a laugh out loud, but are no less powerful or useful. They are more of a nostalgia/emotional hit, much like the Big O Lincoln commercial last year was for me.

Thanks! I worked hard on that one >.>;;

I'd say cut off the beginning part, because after the "3 years late" I was expecting some kind of joke and the clip kept going and took a while to get where it was going. From not knowing the source audio, I can say I think the clip would be more effective to the general audience starting at the "Just for you" with maybe a Hallmark logo. Or the alternative is starting after the 3 years later.


Ohhh. Trust me, there is a huge joke in here and it's kind of irreverent. XD The series is Ouran High School Host Club, and the source audio (That 70s Show) actually has very little to do with the comedy. The comedy is that the blond guy is an illegitimate child, and was forced to leave his mother and live with his grandmother so that he could be recognized by the family (and so that his mother could receive financial support for a chronic illness). And he's kind of obsessive about making everyone happy.
So I've officially listed the "Barry the SlapChopper" clip as one of my favorites of all time. That and the Sony POS news segment. I love it.

The timing for a punchline was set up for after "3 years later..." because he sets up this setting for a joke in the context of "I'll hang out with grandma... whaddaya say?", setting up some type of failure with hanging out with grandma or some joke, and then he says "I'm not gonna make it" without a punchline set to joke timing which people have come to expect by then.

Okay, I totally get you. I like the suggestion of starting it off with "I want to keep peace in the family." I think the biggest problem is the slowness of the source audio... like you mentioned, Family Guy is fast-paced and doesn't allow much time for "all right already..." XD So yeah, I'll see what I can do - maybe even see about editing some dead audio time if need be (I've done that before... works like magic for timing's sake). It's one of those things that would work as a video clip on its own for people who are searching specifically for Ouran, but you're right - I'd be pretty confused if I didn't know what was going on.
(Also, Gaelstrom, I am SO glad you did a violent Slap Chop clip. I actually had the idea of doing something violent with Slap Chop, but I couldn't think of any good violent scenes that could go with it. But I just saw the significance of the name - seriously, awesome. I have to get around to actually watching FMA like my friend keeps telling me to... hah.)
