law revue is legit. Suck it columbia.

I can now see how Pitch Correction Software is suitable in certain situations.

What kind of legitimate law student wastes time surfing the web during class? Just more proof that UChicago students will always be more intelligent and rigorous than TTTNYU students.

4, I would say that about 2/3 of legitimate law students waste time surfing the web during class. Including me. This video was funny.

This will go on your permanent record .

Great video!

"Many of you know that I am an HLS Parody alum."

Stopped reading here to pick my jaw up off the floor. You are the single least funny writer (and I use that term loosely) in this hemisphere. You also bring to the table the insufferable quality of THINKING you're funny, which makes everything 10x worse. Please, please, please quit.

NYU always does excellent videos for their revue because they have artsy, ex-film-school types for students.

That is painfully unfunny.

Let us eat cake and laugh.

pretty funny stuff - good job kids

10: CLS student.

Nice to see something on here other than layoff coverage. Thanks all.

This NYU Law video from last year was better:

http://abovethelaw.com/2008/06/the_hell_that_is_barbri_open_t.php

pretty funny. good work!

That might be the ugliest collection of people I've seen since I last walked through the law school building.

Nothing on W&C?

that was funny - good work

I have poops more amusing than that tripe.

EXCELLENT. Well done.

Especially about checking the UConn score!

Men's National Champs - '99, '04, '09
Women's Champs - '95, '00, '02, '03, '04, '09

8 - Seems pretty obvious that he meant that he IS the joke, not that he makes them.
I won't claim that Elie is hilarious, but have you considered that you might have a tin ear?

8: disregard that, I completely misread that Elie's sentence.
my bad.
-23

Cute puppy!

Elie doesn't have a healthy anything.

They seem rather upbeat for a bunch that's about to either have their start date delayed into oblivion or get fired after 4 moths on the job.

HLS Parody >>>>>>>>>>>>>> this.

4 - Better check the rankings before trying to dis NYU (#5) as beneath U. Chicago (#7):

Nice song/video, NYU, good work.

29 - You're an idiot.

This is the poem Slough, by Sir John Betjemen, probably never been here in his life. 'Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough, it isn't fit for humans now.' Right, I don't think you solve town planning problems by dropping bombs all over the place, he's embarrassed himself there. Next 'In labour saving homes with care, their wives frizz out peroxide hair, and dry it in synthetic air, and paint their nails-' they wanna look nice, what's the matter, doesn't he like girls? 'And talks of sports and makes of cars, and various bogus Tudor bars, and daren't look up and see the stars, but belch instead.' What's he on about? What, has he never burped? 'Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough, to get it ready for the plough. The cabbages are coming now, the earth exhales-' He's the only cabbage round here. And they made him a night of the realm. Overrated.

I liked the fake vomit Wikipedia screenshot! And the plethora of hotties.

I still can't get my damn QWOP guy to run. THIS GAME IS SO HARD.

Not real world funny, but definitely law school funny.

that? not funny. this?
http://www.neverdrivesinnevada.blogspot.com/
funny.

How the hell does this QWOP game work?

4- You are an ass. I would bet money that everyone in your class hates you.

- Not from NYU or Chicago

We don't have time for this sort of nonsense in Ann Arbor.

31: KNIGHT of the realm. If you're going to do that, at least get it right.

34: Oh Banjamin, you brigand!

This was very funny and well written -- great work guys. Glad to see the production values increase for this type of work.

-Fellow parody alum

p.s. @8 complaining about Elie won't stop the voices -- you should play in traffic like they told you to.

DOAP.

EAD.

KYS.

In that order.

i cant view this...it loads but nothing happens. whats wrong?? :( help, anyone?

43, dude, that's the joke.

Off topic: Sidley start dates pushed back to November 2 or November 16.

The video was not entertaining, however, it serves a purpose. I will forward a link to the video on to my firm's hiring committee to identify two dozen less candidates that we will be interviewing from NYU.

44, im no dude. are you serious? if so, totally lame. i went to nyu; its gone downhill since i left

30 - This goes out to you (with thanks/credit to Mr. Zimmerman):

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing down the backroads headin' south.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

Sincerely,

29

Richard Epstein says hi.

Elie, how are you an HLS Parody alum if you're not funny?

Completely gay.

I too have noticed a severe decline in the quality of students/graduates from NYU Law. It started in the mid 1990s and has gotten progressively worse. I never placed much stock in rankings as politics plays a huge factor. If you participated in the atrocious video that I saw, I have one thing to say to you: NYU=Now You're Unemployed.

I wasn't planning on going to Law Revue but now I'm thinking that this might actually be a good show!

I hate laughter. And fun! Especially fun.

Ugh, is Partner Emeritus a front for a CLS 2L? Weaker and weaker.

my god that was shockingly bad.

Quinn lols

"free cell is...tough."

right? i can relate! is funny!

when i first saw this video, i immediately thought i wonder how long it will take a uchicago prodigy to brag about how hard they work. 13 minutes was a lot quicker than i thought.
i guess if I was outside of the top 5 I would care more about my grades too.

UVA's libel show is better. 101st year baby!

41, i agree. especially re: "won't listen to prof, thank god for laptops."

i am certain every positive comment is someone from the nyu law revue.

The first 30 seconds or so of the song was kind of funny but I gave up at about the minute and a half mark. So tell me if there was something ridiculously funny that I needed to wait around for. Looked like it was going to stay a one-note joke ("there sure are a lot of things that law students do when they should be paying attention in class").

Why do law students at places like NYU embarrass themselves by doing things like this--and think it's okay? My theory is that, even though they are abject losers, they feel validated because they scored well on their LSAT, they were admitted to T14 , and they are now "becoming lawyers." I'd rather be at a TTT where the people who are losers KNOW they are losers, and also realize law school is a joke, regardless of what school you attend--Oh wait, I was for three years. God I hate law students.
Ex-sTTTudent

Sorry. Not funny.

Sorry. Not funny. Partner E. is right on this one.

SCREW YOU DAVE

55 FTW

Sorry. This is high school level stuff. Where is the creative juice?

The creative juice is all over your face.

69 = 68 ("I thought of a sex joke!").

Lame.

70=69=68= this post.

It's recursive.

Good thing NYU rankings aren't based on this.

37. You have time to post snarky comments, but not time for nonsense? Do you block out time in your schedule for shenanigans? Tomfoolery? Hijinks?

Partner Emeritus needs to move out of his parents' basement and lose the virginity.

I thought it was funny.
- Student

the Law Revue people are a bunch of jerks. I was at my friend's birthday party and they all come in late and completely took over the karaoke. They even erased several of the songs people were gonna sing. They are so ridiculously pompous, will definitely not go see their show again.

MORE CAPTAIN SULLY POSTS PLEASE.

46, that's "two dozen fewer."

Not as good as UT's Assault and Flattery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RyQwvmTC40

Yeah Coach K shoutout!

I totally love Partner Emeritus. He's the only one I read anymore. Besides, you associates are a-holes anyway.

Great job! That was really funny.

- NYU student.

Chicago is where fun goes to die.

This was funnier than my school's law revue, but so is AIDS.

60, agree. This was enjoyable, though. This is an incredibly hard song to write a parody to because you're always trying to match syllables to syllables, plus with this song you're trying to build in intensity as the verse goes on. The "Layoffs on ATL" verse did this the best in this song. Good work, kids. Surprised there are so few of you. UVA Libel Show would put 150+ people on stage. They did a parody of this song based on interviewing in 2004, was pretty good as well.

Law Revue is for rainbows, puppies, cupcakes, gays in the military, long walks on the beach and Barack Obama. Law Revue will lower your taxes, do your homework and make you lose five pounds.

Law Revue has zero tolerance for karaoke offenders. Those miscreants responsible for the birthday party debacle have been shot and their roles have been recast.

Enjoy your 2009 Law Revue responsibly: bring beer in cans instead of bottles so that Uncle Ricky doesn't have to listen to your noisy clinking.

GET USED TO SURFING THE WEB 3LS BECAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU'll BE DOING BETWEEN NOW AND YOUR FALL 2010 START DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

52-Spot on. Since you don't subscribe to the USNWR rankings, how would you rank the law schools based on the quality of lawyers produced from said schools?

It was a song submission that got rejected from the show that they thought would be fun to throw together to advertise. Thus they didn't spend much time producing and let sub-par talent sing it. The real show (and videos) will obviously be much better. Specifically, 80, way more engaging than the UT clips I've seen so far. (God forbid NYU try to compete with the HLS Parody Show)

The video wasn't bad at all. If that is a skit that got rejected they will be definitely better than the wizard of laws production from two years ago, which sucked. It had one good skit involving Scalia and Kennedy and the rest of it was pretty boring.

In my three years at NYU, two of the performances were sub-par and one was really good. One out of three still beats most T-14 schools.

NYU has some pretty good videos up on youtube.

LAW REVUE TO 190!!!!!!

That's a brilliant marketing strategy. Release your worst work to draw them in. U2 used it effectively with Get Your Boots On as the single for NLOtH.

I heard this year at law revue, they're going to have a hospitality suite that has free pens and notepads and mints! Also giving away copies of U2's new single Get Your Boots On, so that's pretty exciting.

Oceans Rise. Cities Fall. LAW REVUE REMAINS.

Great video. The show looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun! I'm there.

This is nowhere near as good as the Jurisdiction! thing from a few years ago. The Burger King-Asahi-Burger King chorus there = 180.

OMG i loved your video!!!!

Morons... they repeated "Facebook" twice. Excellent! These 3Ls have a better chance of making it on Broadway than getting lawyer jobs. Too bad that leading a Rocking Horror troupe won't defer loan payments come January. Suckas!

Could someone please tell me which part was the funny part?

I miss Law Revue...the peak of my musical comedy career. And NYU's show does rock - being the artsy school in NY means you get a big budget and good talent.

This is for shit. Bunch of geeky nebishes.

BORING. I want the 3:40 back of my life.

The funniest law revue video I've found this one from UT; it's really good:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ashunzDz57o&feature=related

It's a choral rap cover of "low".

got ugly?

15 - There are two amazing videos coming out after the show runs; they are a surprise for the show itself, so I can't go into details. But if you like last year's BarBri girl videos - you'll like what you see.

And if you don't want to wait for the youtube upload, go to NYU Law Revue, March 25th-28th, at 8 pm in Tishman Auditorium (40 W. Sq. South).

22-

I don't want to see a video of his poops.

Lat can you do another hottest NYU student contest, to repair the damage done to the school by these fuglies?

GET YOUR FACES OFF THE CAMERA NERDS

7 More hours to make it through with no layoff news. Come on biglaw, you can do it

The singing is just horrible. Besides that, mildly amusing - for law students at least....

31 is on drugs

Only autistic people pronounce it "House-ton"

I thought this year's Law Revue production was a prank where they dressed-up like eco-crazy mental patients and "locked" themselves in the cafeteria?!

You mean there are two?

111, you are obviously not from New York.

Elie is an alum of HLS, which parodied its own admissions program when it reviewed his app.

Agree with 103 -- that was really funny from UT's law revue. I thought the NYU one was ok, but it's relatively easy to just list off shit as a parody of We didn't start the fire. That and the singing was pretty mediocre.

As for 107, I was expecting a lot uglier people coming from NYU, so I'd just run with the relative victory on your part.

nyu law revue offers optional one-year $90k deferral provided students have valid reservations at any caribbean hotel. suck it, columbia!

4: please tell me you go on dates and brag about how "rigorous" you are. That's hot. I hear chicks really dig that.

4: I hope that when you go on dates, you brag about how "rigorous" you are. That's hot. I hear chicks really dig that.

Two weeks ago I unleashed a fart in the lower stacks that sounded markedly better than that.

mike mcmahon didn't wear deodorant all the way through high school. does he wear any now? it's funny to think about this complete loser in high school being a part of any group of friends in law school. i guess law school is where high school losers go to seem cool...

These guys pale in comparison to Minnesota's Theatre of the Relatively Talentless. ( http://www.lawschoolmusical.com )

(Also.... such a ripoff of "We Didn't Go to Harvard." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Rjk1WGHp8 )

So Law Revue has come and gone... it was an awesome show. The preview did not do it justice
