    All right den, Mmhmm!

    "Swing Blade" is a fake trailer for a movie that combines the characters from "Sling Blade" and "Swingers". It is hilarious, and the actors really have their parts down. I especially liked Carl's repeated attempts at leaving a message on a woman's answering machine. All in all, a decent parody, and if you liked either of the two you should watch this.

    I like 'dem french fried pertaters!

    This short spoof is a parody of the movies "Swingers" and "Sling Blade," both independent films released in 1996 through Miramax Pictures.

    "Swing Blade" is about Karl Childers, the lovable retard from "Sling Blade," and his attempts to pick up chicks on the "Swingers" scene. In one very funny part - a spin on the popular phone call segment from "Swingers" - Karl leaves a woman some rather puzzling messages on her answering machine.

    This is a short, funny and ultimately enjoyable little parody. It's nothing extremely funny, but if you ever happen to stumble across the "Swingers: Collector's Edition" DVD, you might as well check this out. If you've seen either film you'll definitely find it to be rather humorous.

    Too funny!

    This short film is absolutely hilarious!!! I especially love the phone call scene spoofed from Swingers. Good stuff! If you love parodies, this is right down your alley!

    soooo funny!

    This is an inspired spoof of two of my favorite films, Swingers and Sling Blade. It's soooo funny! I especially like the guy who played Karl, and the girls are cute. I understand that this was made for chump change, but it looks great!
