    Such a hilarious monologue with Pandas and technology. An absolute ball!

    I love pandas. And my computer. Both a bit too much. Now, I'm wondering if my computer is judging me. And if pandas are judging me. Thanks? (⊙.☉)7

    This is so fun! INCREDIBLY CUTE gives voice to the devices we use everyday, and Carnes doesn't hold back with what it has to say. I laughed and I cringed! I'd love to see this produced in a theater near me!

    Another great piece by Rachael Carnes. Funny for sure. I loved the satire and that all too (i.e spot on!) sinking feeling of getting sucked into another device even if it does want you to watch Pandas and really how could anyone say no to that?

    What a delightful idea! In Carnes hands, this idea takes form and becomes a fantastic satire that forces us to imagine a word in where devices are alive. The same way we seen plays take the POV of animals, or certain tools, "Incredibly Cute" gives life to our computers and explores the knowledge they have of us. By doing this Carnes can study the character further and gives us a more private glimpse of his life, without the human actually speaking. A great insight on how much we leave of ourselves in our technology.

    Personal tool as ultimate friend, companion, better than dog. The self-awareness of the Device is what’s disconcerting. Probably due to how knowledgeable it is of its user: Liar, like all of us. It’s the only thing in the world that knows what we DON’T want, aside from ourselves. Weird circumstance. Like SNL meets Sam Beckett. The fact you can say something to your friend about something you need and your phone starts advertising it via social media and various websites makes the play all the more relevant and (unfortunately) poignant. Perfect for a night on technology.

    This is spot-on-satire -- captures through an animated, imagined voice of a smart device the annoying, unapologetic anti-hero within us - that voice of our obssesion, maybe our crippling addiction to information consumption on the Internet. Oh, those panda babies are so cute, those Facebook quizzes so funny, but all of it a waste of time -- you're not truly living, not truly connected with the world, with others offline. It's a challenge for the actor, something rare for theatre - an inanimate object animated through the spectacle of acting and theatre! If you enjoyed the monologue Helper, read this!

    Wonderful satire. Solid send up of technology. Some very good lines from a very sentient device. One of my favoritesmocking Buzzfeed: “Choose Your Best Sandals for Summer and We’ll Tell You Which “Rugrats” Character You Are.” - Carnes strikes again!
