Thanks so much for getting me involved in this! I loved everyone's songs!

I loved 8-bit music theory’s perfect embarrassed introduction to his piece which was its own bit of brilliance. And he managed to look genuinely amused through all the other pieces—his reactions were really my favorites.

[Slaydrik]

I think 8-bit music theory's piece made me laugh the most because of what he said in the beginning, which also supports Jay Foreman's point on how we are expecting them to make us laugh so they might not be as effective at that.

[AdamNeely]

ahaha, that was ridiculous, great job guys!

[bitMusicTheory]

This was such a fun project, glad I could be a part of it! Thanks for putting the video together!

I love that justice cow just grooves away and ocasionally says "this sounds like a dad putting on pants"

[iris]

I love how Jay looks completely disgusted during the entire piece and then after says "I loved that"

[mikaoleander]

everybody: laughing
justice cow: unironically vibing

[foxylee]

The false ending of Aimee's song really made me laugh. Jay Foreman's song was also great. Both of them were hilarious.

[i.setyawan]

I was expecting a "serious" music theory analysis as to *why* music could elicit laughter.... what I got is a generous helping of hilariously composed tracks. Nice!

[r.e.holding]

11:52 “Sounds like a dad putting on pants” 😂 that was so on-point haha!

[raynathiel]

“This makes me think of like, a dad putting on pants.”
Me: *laughs instantly*
Me: GOD-

[Ockeroid]

Quite brutal asking each composer to explain their joke before showing it!

[RemixerDarken]

I like that 8-bit Music Theory lowered everyone's expectations with his intro. That was a smart move (also, the piece itself was executed really well given the context).

[AimeeNolte]

Such a unique experience - to have no other goal than to make people laugh. And then to watch this and SMILE the whole time. Thanks Alan and everyone for making it happen.

Aimee's false endings made me laugh so hard and I loved it so much, but 8-bit Music Theory's song was the best. It had the same feeling as the wedding scene in The Princess Bride, where you think it's going to be so regal and grand, but then you have an unexpected squeaking that is just doing its best but can't quite make it.

JAY FOREMAN in the same YT universe with David bennet and the bunch. Ah, this makes me so happy!

"Nothing funnier than brass with a mute." Miles Davis and his Harmon mute swear violently from the afterlife.

[mikoajp.]

Just like verbal and practical jokes, musical jokes seem to revolve around not only sillines, but also/mainly around the element of surprise

[alicec]

Jay Foreman's "Bim Bim Bim" uses a mixture of funny lyrics *and* funny music, so he's already an expert in this field.
