watch Do you think I'm funny?

I want to know people's honest opinions, I make some comedy sketches on YouTube and I want to know if random people from any given age think if my videos are funny or not.
I also want to get into more serious videos, so I want to know if my editing and camera angles and movements are good too.
So I kind of want general reviews of my videos and skills.
Here's my Youtube:

By the way, I'm sixteen, I'm attempting to get lots of experience now so that when I'm older I have enough skill to live off of it. Hence why all of the actors are kids.
 
Okay, honest opinion:

The air controller seems to be trying to hard to get laughs and
seems to be channeling Napoleon Dynamite. Not original and
no longer funny. Editing and camera work is fine.

“The Porn Ultimatum” is pretty good technically. I didn’t find it
funny but the editing, camera, audio and choice of music are
quite good.
 
I'll be honest, because that's what you asked for -- I didn't laugh, or even chuckle.

However, I'm old, and directorik ain't no spring chicken, either. I remember when I was 16 there were plenty of things that I thought were funny, and all the old people just didn't seem to get it. Do your peers think these are funny? That's the more important question.

Comedy is tough to do, man. I remember when I first started filmmaking, I personally didn't think I could tackle it. I don't know exactly when it happened, but I eventually started to feel more comfortable with it. Though, to be honest, half (if not more) of the laughs that come in any of my recent productions are directly attributable to my cast, not me.

Keep working at it, you'll improve. Think of stand-up comics. They don't just write a routine, and it's instantly perfect. It's constantly being tweaked, as they see how audiences react to new bits, and it takes a long time before they've finally got a solid routine.
