That’s it? I’m looking to be elevated on a Friday and instead you expect me to take the stares?
Joanne, you are strange!
on another grey day in new york this vid made me smile, thx.
cheers and enjoy the long weekend.
LOL
I’m diggin the maaad skilz - particularly joanne’s eyeball ping-pong.
I’m gonna try this in the mirror and see who wins
Her wonderous stare - Her wonderous stare - Her wonderous stare -
Im the one who was there!
Im the one who was there!
Im the one who was there!
dooo doooo dooo be dooo be dooo
LOL.
It’s got everything - and at times the suspence is killing.
Still laughing ..
I’m betting that the puppy WON Joanne :-)
LOL, gotta love stare-downs!
That was great. Take the rest of the week off.
Wow!!! Can I get a photo of you doing that “crazy eyes” thing that you did in this episode?.
I LOVE IT! ;)
That was a “Who has the funniest face”, contest?
You should have asked the horse…”Why the long face?”.
(o) (o)
—^—
I think the simpler approach to the show is awesome. RB doesn’t have to be overcomplicated. I think it has found it’s balance. Good job RB team!
That was a hoot.
Loved it.
I always like it when RB shows NY. I moved out 8 years ago and miss it very much.
Loved the silly parts towards the end…the horse made me loose it completely.
Hey, Joane! i do the eye ball ping pong too!! cute!!!
leron, i dont think there were two cameras recording at the same time…i think that Joane’s face shot was shot after…I could be wrong…still was great edit job. :)
I briefly dated a woman who looked and laughed like the last person in the staredown. A wonderful, memorable laugh. Thanks for the memory.
Joanne reveals yet another talent!
Yay for (casual) Friday!
Come on RB! You’re better than staring contests!!! How about taking on some of the Sony execs in a PS3 game challenge? Or visiting one of New York’s most famous boxing gyms and taking a lesson from one of the greats?
Reminded me of the sublime World Staring Championships sketches from much missed Big Train.
Oh and I could stare at you forever, Joanne… bdum tish!
I Love it!!!!
Hailing from Scotland here.
I forever love change and the variety of RocketBoom. When you think you’ve sussed the format and think you know how thingd will play out, you mix it up. Thanks RB.
On a side note, fantastically nice hair today Joanne. :)
Joanne, I could stare into those gorgeous eyes of yours forever. I might sigh and smile wistfully, but never laugh. :)

My daughter - the little girl you beat, Joanne - despises looking into peoples eyes and is traumatized for it. I hope you’re happy. Good luck with your winnings…I’m obviously being facetious.
Peace,
The Father.
Dear Joanne,
Great episode, thanks!!!
The key is to count something on your opponent’s face. Eyelashes or something. It keeps you focused on something besides not smiling!
hacer eso es peligroso… se podrian enamorar de Joan…
Central Park Stare Down? Come on Rocketboom. You CAN do better. Maybe I just expect more ‘meat’ from you.
Joanne, no offense intended. You have a pretty aspect.
( Cute background song )
Hi Joanne,
You wanna try that me pretty lady? 1… 2… 3… GO! I can’t do it, I can’t do it. your big beautiful eyes turn my insides to guava jelly. I’m hopelessly devoted to you… I luv that song. Monday can’t get here soon enough, Joanne? Joanne! Oh Joanne.
Oy, LOL.
Joanne has finally gone off her rocker.
I really like that one !
i love this flippin show
Crespo…Stop drooling. Even my keyboard’s grtting soggy.
Lot’s of fun.

anytime someone looks at me in the eyes for more than 2 seconds i feel tempted, that’s why people look at me seriously i guess, a question to you drew, that it seems using reverse psychology or something i’m making you answer my latest questions, this staring happens also between you, joanne and the camera??? and for joanne, do you feel in a way the staring of your audience and that makes you….what?? lets see if you can answer this and stare down to me. ha.
Sounds gay, but in this awful day in the capitol of totalitarism in latin america, you’ve made me smile.
Now I remember, smiling is good!
that was great! why the heck did this make me miss new york so much all of a sudden??? weird…
Fabulous show. Best RB this month. Oh wait . . .
So I figure its time to start commenting, long time watcher, from the Amanda days. After much debate and doubt I have finally decided that Joanne does an awesome job and much congrats. Love the staring, makes for a humorous casual Friday. Keep up the good work and i have to agree with some of the other guys, I love the out in town shots. Been wanting to move up there for a while.
That was fun!
Joanne has really pretty eyes and a great poker face.
@nab: the answer is hidden in the show.
That was fun guys!
Drew : check Noah K’s story for next week :

I’M FREE!! I was just released from Drew’s “Pending Issues” file. Now I can enjoy myself this Holiday weekend.
What did you have for breakfast Joanne?!?!
Very funny though :)
…but can she dance?!?
Interesting segue from more serious subjects (Pluto loosing its planetary status and such.)
Joanne’s performance reflects her much deeper talents … that intense stare underscores my belief that she is really a displaced gothic English Lady who should properly be being courted/chased/pursued by a roguish English gentleman/rake/statesman/outlaw
The black guy could really stare … very impassive … does that suggest a greater emotional control …
Very well done. Simple, funny, and even with some suspense. Excellent Friday topic.
Way to Go JC,
Keep going RB.
Here’s looking at you lady and enjoying every minute of it.
Holy Crap that was funny!!!
Good show today.
So this was, um, “Stareway to Heaven”?
Wow, Stone cold stare….
I seriously want the soundtrack to this show
This reminded me of a really stupid game we used to play in acting class. I hated that game. But this was fun. Joanne is very pretty, as well as talented, I have to agree. And I too love the NYC shows so much. I miss it too.
t
these are the rocketboom’s that keep me watching the show! after amanda left…:( i was begining to think the show lost it’s charm but now the charm is back (btw keep the old map ;)
Ha! That was hilarious!! I couldn’t help laughing myself. Sometimes, it’s the short, witty episodes that are the best.
Joanne’s face looks unnaturally perfect during the stare-down with the blonde who laughed. No way she’s that perfect. No one’s that perfect. Edited?
Cute.
Been 10 hours and the guy in the mirror is wearing me down…I’m hungry and need to pee real bad…
…update to follow
(see previous post if this doesn’t make sense)
Joanne, that was brilliant!
great stuff!
Did I see you in a British Veet commercial today?
brilliance! and joanne, i just wanted you to know that your internet broadcasting show has inspired me to create my own show. except…i haven’t found all the resources i need yet. YET! but hopefully i will, soon. i’m so excited - i can’t wait to start! although of course it won’t be on the same level as your brilliance, ha. thank you!
How about a Staredown Showdown between Joanne and Ze Frank??
So this show is a stare case. No wonder it’s better for you than the elevator.
Joanne, you must have been a teacher, what with all those pupils?
And one thing’s for sure, you’re not unsightly!
Was that you with Fred A Stare?
Not many people know this, but prolonged staring can cause problems with the octagonal nerve. That’s the nerve that connects the eyes to the behind and gives one a poopy outlook. More?
Why Gary you seem to know so much about the octagonal nerve and Fred Astare to boot; are you a victim of the poopy look?
How did I get hooked on this show??? Perhaps because it is so much more intellectual than the network news? Hmmm keep rockin’ RocketBoom.
Love your show. The stares were great, especially the black guy and the little eye thing you did. I guess everyone has to have some little wierd thing they can do.
Yeah, I am really missing Amanda.
I didn’t know JoAnne could move her eyes independantly!
