Aww, I loved this! Grinning from ear to ear right now. :D

[purplefringe]

BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT. Wow, Manny's life is so very hard :D :D :D

[jb_slasher]

OH MANNY. I am laughing because this is AWESOME. I need a(nother) rewatch, soon. OH MANNY! <3

[kiki_miserychic]

I love how witty and cute this is. Even when it could be cheesy with the lyrics, it's smoothed over by starting the matched clip early, like "jump in the shower" and "out on the street, the traffic starts jumping." Such a fun filled vid.

The timing on the yoyo cut with the ding is perfect.

[sanguinity]

Bernard is a TERRIBLE boss. I enjoyed that TONS.

(Kitty thought the vid was initially fascinating, but ultimately gives it -100 points for making The Lap laugh too hard and fail in her lap-providing duties.)

[walkthegale]

Aaaaaaah, this is delightful and hilarious and perfect! :D :D :D

[castalia]

Aw, poor Manny! So much fun, especially loved the yo-yo moment.

[cupidsbow]

Hahahahahahahaha! Yes. Awesome.

[leanwellback]

PERFECTION. Oh, poor Manny. Your clip choices are inspired! The timing on the yo-yo being cut and Bernard smashing the glass off the wine popsicle was so fantastic. Huge smile on my face right now :D

[cosmic_llin]

Hee, this is delightful, I'm grinning!

[toft]

Hahahaa, what a great song for this fandom! Poor Manny...

[sholio]

aaaaa this is so much fuuuuun. :D :D

[valoise]

There can never be enough Manny & Bernard vids and Dolly Parton is so strangely perfect for them.

[sarkastic]

Ah this is so fantastic! Awesome song choice!

[mhalachai]

this is delightful! And something I really, really needed to see today :D

[were_duck]

I giggled SO MUCH! 'deserve a better promotion" with the gold stars, and just the great combination of physical comedy was made so great in combo with the song :D

[ghanimasun]

This was really fun, love your great editing here. Makes me really want a rewatch!

[ghost_lingering]

Ahhhh, this is excellent and really funny!

...it also reminds me that I need to do some cleaning in my apartment before I reach the heights they do...

[minthepsychic]

Awesome vid! Especially liked the alignment of the chorus with the falling caterpillar :)

[no_detective]

Oh, this is hilarious and PERFECT. Manny <333

[ghosttownexit]

Loved this! Poor, wonderful Manny. I love how the vid shows us just how much insanity Manny has to deal with, and how his optimism makes him maybe a little insane himself. That really comes through as you blend his living and working conditions throughout the vid.
Also, the song choice was perfect. Not only was the uptempo sound well-suited to the show's zany tone, but, in my opinion, Manny's got more than a little of Dolly's no-nonsense charm.
Thanks for the vid!

[catwalksalone]

This is so much fun! Manny's yo-yo dreams being shattered, Manny's everything. So much toast! This totally captures the ridiculous insanity and heart of the show.

[odessie]

Hee, this is brilliant - oh, poor Manny. <3

[anoel]

Hee, this was so fun and I loved so many of the clip/lyric choices. And it also gave me the final push to finally watch this show.

[livrelibre]

Ahaha! Hilarious and great comic timing!

[croissantkatie]

That was so funny! So many great moments matching up with the lyrics, like the promotion and the gold stars part. :D

[ironed_orchid]

This was so much fun! Loved the way you matched clips to lyrics, like the traffic jumping. So many Manny feels.

[grammarwoman]

I've never seen the source, but I might need to remedy that after watching this fun vid. :)

[littleheaven]

How have I never seen this show? I think I must watch it. This had me giggling crazily. Great lyrical matches.

[idella]

Sheer perfection.

[meridian_rose]

So funny :D

[revolutionaryjo]

I think this one got the most literal laugh out loud moments of my Festivids party. A real delight! :)

[bessyboo]

This is 100% my new recruiter vid for this show. After it was over at our festivids party (which, yes, Jo is correct, it got a TON of laughs--it's one of the few I actually tweeted about) I literally said, "That's it, that's the show." I feel like that about sums it up :D

[bingeling]

Hilarious and fun, really on point!

[franzeska]

LOL. I love the extreme drunkenness on 'cup of ambition'.

[cinco]

Hilarious--perfect song choice. I laughed all the way through!

[skygiants]

MANNY'S LIFE IS EXTREMELY HARD and this vid provides a wonderful showcase for that.

[kabal42]

Ack, this is all kinds of perfect. That SONG choice! :D I absolutely loved this :)
