haha Ransom was awesome :) I thought they should have included Impact, though.

Or maybe you're both funny, or a bit funny.

I should really consider making my jokes a tad more obvious. Perhaps funnier too.

With only 3 minutes how much "fleshing out" can you really do? Maybe if they made it into a feature length movie they can get more character development and provide more nuances.
Isn't "proven statistically with statistics" some circular logic? I beg to differ since when most of my clients have a problem with the way the font looks, I change it to Impact and it usually satisfies them. I rarely use Hobo at all.
I do wonder where Helvetica was also since it's in the top 5 most used fonts so you would think it would be prominant.

Personally, I didn't think that the characters were fully fleshed out. They seemed like shallow stereotypes, which quite honestly I find offensive. And as a graphic designer myself, I am ashamed of the producer of this for not including Hobo. Everyone knows that Hobo is the best font of all time...proven statistically with statistics.
To be objective, I think the actor that portrayed dingbats has a future.

I loved it since I'm heavily into graphic design, it was hilarious!
The trouble is there are thousands of fonts around but only about 30 or so that are easily legible and appropriate to use.
My typography teacher probably wouldn't have liked it since she was a total Font Nazi sort of like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld
