But he survives somehow. Don't ask how, though.

Alright, boys, let me have it. Come on. Do your worst. I can take it.
KG and 0ldScratch thought mine was bad... I don't think their gonna be crazy about this one either... 
I thought it was okay... But...
This needs to stop.
The concept alone makes this my favorite of the 'unofficial' entries to the Dane Cook saga. The execution was a little lacking, though, Othello looked great but the set seemed empty and the animation could probably have been more dramatic. The image quality wasn't good either but that's probably just your camera.
And, of course, it makes no sense if you haven't read the play. I also had an idea for a Dane Cook film involving a Shakespeare play, but didn't feel like buying a power miners set just so I could make it.
I don't think there's anything wrong with aiming a joke at the handful of people who'll get the reference - smothering with a pillow works whether you've read/seen the play or not. Quite liked Dane's little struggle and then going limp. Kudos for animating studless too.
Other than that, I agree with Sméagol - the set was quite bare, picture quality wasn't great and you could have built up to the moment a bit more. If you'd had the right Dane head, you could have done more of a reaction.
YOU USED THE WRONG DANE COOK HEAD

ZOMG CALL THE X MIDDLE SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL
But seriously, I don't have any Power Miners sets, let alone the one with the proper head.

Well, I don't have much of a set at the moment, and I actually filmed this a while ago for an English project, and Dane Cook getting smothered was only in the last section of the film, the rest was analysis and technical mumbo-jumbo you guys wouldn't bother to watch. I'll be sure to re-make this once I a) build a proper set and b) get a better camera than the !@#$ the 5000 is. I'll have to ask for a 9000 for my birthday.
To conclude, I will re-make this on a later date, better than ever before. Better...stronger....faster.

If you don't have a power miners set the quit whining and go to Wal-mart, and get the one with the proper head! DUH!!!
Um. I'd say the idea is unique, not many people would think of an Othello to smother Dane Cook with a pillow.
From what I saw of the animation, it looked terrible. But I don't know, it may be my computer, it's acting a bit slow.:P
I have a pretty good idea for a Dane Cook film. KG/0ldscratch, do I have permission?
WHY THE CRAP IS EVERYONE DOING THESE?!?!
YOU'RE FREAKING RUINING THE WHOLE FREAKING CONCEPT! 
My gosh come up with your OWN original ideas! Holy crap, you guys are pissing me off, you're like little robots.

LEGO is quite expensive, maybe he can't afford to buy butt loads of it.

Dane is in the very cheapest Power Miners set, for those who don't currently have one. I'd guess it's about $5 in the US.
