Character Animation Project: Research

I am pretty pleased with all the grades that I got back for my last few projects and now I have a new unit to do on Character Animation. This is going to involve taking a piece of dialogue from an existing source (i.e. film, tv series, stand-up comedy, etc), preferably one with only one or two characters, and then animate a rig to this piece of dialogue.

It looks like it will be fun and will test my performance skills and how effectively I can apply them to animation.

Here are a few video clips of source material that I am considering choosing for this project:

I am also considering working in a group, as one of the targets I have set myself in order to improve my employability is to gain more experience in team work. I have listed some videos which I could use if I choose to work with someone else:
