Yes I'm in there. I'm one of the males. I'll tell you if you guess. I could greatly enjoy this.

Haphazzard, you don't get to guess.

That's awesome man, had me laughing out loud, or Lolling, as the kids say nowadays.

Maybe it's just cause I'm studying sound, and am thus over-sensitive to these kinds of things, but I think you could really do with better sound quality for those vids. It clips a LOT which cuts out some of what seem from the audience's reactions to be the best bits.

But that's just a technical issue, as I said, what you lot are actual doing is awesome.

Yeah, the sound isn't great, but considering it came off of a handeld camera, I think it's pretty decent.

The guy who uploaded it said the clipping as the issue of the uploading. If he re-uploads those without the clipping issues, I'll update.

No, I noticed it too.  The quality was obviously poor, but I could tell it was from something that wasn't meant for this "caliber" of recording.  When the audience laughed (it sounded like a bunch of little kids, but that's not what I was originally gunna say) it just completely drowned out everything else (and sounded similar to shrieking).

It's a full house of college students, crammed into a tiny black box with no sound dampening materials within.

That would account for the volume of the laughter. As for the pitch, I dunno.
