The nerdy kid one was too fast, hence the subtitles.
Yours was just not really that funny. Sorry. Comedy is a hard genre to do well.
And oh yeah, rap is really annoying.

both were painful

I'm sorry to say I kind of phased out after 15 seconds of yours, whilst I watched the other to the end, waiting to see where it went.
Theirs didn't seem so culture, age or gender specific - yours was very much a boys thing for 14-24 year olds. Too aggro, too cool, little heart or humour.
Perhaps that came after the 15 seconds I watched - but I'm a product of the product generation. Gotta catch em fast.

their's was better. there was a concept and story there, something to follow. and it didn't take forever to get the message across.
you were just "rapping" a list of their services... kept hearing words like "shopping cart, domains, hosting". pretty boring. we've all seen this concept before: take a mundane/nerdy/cheesy topic and rap about it in hopes of it being somewhat funny. i honestly couldn't wait for it to end.

welcome to crowdsourcing,
you've done good mate..

Let me clear the air that we knew going into this that any contest there is always a greater chance for failure than winning, and we were and still ok with not placing. AND, we know as in design that anything for the masses is always subjective. It's a portfolio piece as well as a learning process as we get more into video production.
Some very good points were made and happy to accept them and we thank everyone for their feedback.
We will try again for this years Dorito's Crash the Superbowl contest and hopefully fair better. Much better global audience as well more money at stake.

Lemme start by letting you know I really like the way yours was done. NOW, to be completely honest, I can't stand the song... it's just... way overdone already. The 'rap' beat, lyrics, etc. are not as funny and interesting to people as they were before.
On the other hand, the winner (altho it's not shot and done as nicely as yours) got smart and not only went 'funnier' but used a High School/GLEE-ish concept. I'm sure most of you know how big that show has gotten... and it paid off.

you should've aimed for 1st place rather than 3rd

I watched the winning one to the end but skipped through yours.
The other was cheap and cheerful like GoDaddy. Colourful and playful. Yours was far better production wise of course but I can see why the other one won.

Also, I didn't understand the switching back & forth from the preppy look to the gangster look.
was good production though, yes.

I finished the first clip and I made it to about 0:44 of yours.
At least you entered take solace in that.

should have been in 3d

same here.
i finished the first video but couldn't finish yours
think its cuz the first video has story that it draws people in. (i hate the singing) even tho the second video seem like it has more polished production but lame rap, no story.

You tried too hard to be funny/cool.
Theirs was more silly and effortless.
b&W wasn't working foe me either, godaddy is colourful, fun and energetic.
