Picnic boo-hoo: Yogi Bear goes badass


Bad news bear: Chocolate Cake City do Hanna-Barbera.

Chocolate Cake City are a bunch of comedians and actors whose stated aim is to provide intelligent and funny sketches and character-based comedy. Now finalists in YouTube's Sketchies competition, their scattershot approach is a bit hit and miss. The Yogi Bear sketch seems like a great idea that's been horribly squandered. However, their assessment of subversive poetry, following the banning of a book written by Guantanamo Bay inmates, is intelligent, admirable and very funny. Their utterly silly trailer for Casino Royale starring Tom Hanks also had me laughing my socks off. I, for one, hope that the men and women at Chocolate Cake City win the Sketchies.
