A few chuckles but needed some polish and work to make it 2 minutes of entertainment not just 2 minutes of video

Apropos of nothing, Danny brings home a robot clone of himself. Flatmate John really doesn't like any of this one bit but when Daniel (the proper one) has to pop out to the shops, John is left alone to get acquainted with Danny 2.0 (the robot one).

Although it is only 2 minutes long and able to produce a few laughs from me, I still felt that too much in this delivery could have been done better. The plot is simple and essentially boils down to a human playing a creepy robot and the flatmate's dislike of the whole thing. There is a punch line which I will not state, but the visual gag didn't really work for me. Likewise the delivery of the actual robot as a character was a bit obvious and not particularly funny – he was funnier when totally static with a really creepy frozen expression on his face. What made me laugh was the cheapest gag – which is swearing.

I very much liked Dangolli's delivery of his lines and I felt the edit added to the comedic effect. He punched right on the f-word and it tickled me. Partenie has the harder job of the two characters which are not as good and he doesn't do as well as Dangolli. Danny 2.0 is probably worth a glance for the chuckle one aspect will give you – but the rest really needed some polish and work to make it 2 minutes of entertainment rather than just 2 minutes of video.
