Re: The fridge
Lissette was in town for Christmas and I believe she may have done that herself. And yes, there were just too lazy to change it to anything else.

Where did that horn come from? It looks like a real relic.

I'm willing to bet the Morgan and Bill didn't even notice what was on the fridge.

Quite sure that the horn is Graham's, he/his family have a great many old and crazy things.

So freaking awesome! When Wil Tweeted about his blog post and it said "Hustle" in it, I got so mad because I had to wait to go home to watch the vid because the work computers are so slow. But I am also glad that I re-Tweeted it, because that means that all 200+ of my Facebook friends saw it, and maybe they'll become LRR fans, too!

I think I'm gonna watch it again and "live blog" my favorite bits... hang on.

*screenwipe, but not as awesome as the "Go Team!" one*

Okay, it's a given that I love Wil's first entrance and his "Don't be a dick" PSA. The voice he used in the PSA reminds me of the voice he uses when he segues during his Phoenix Cactus ComicCon reading of a TV Squad bit he wrote: all sexy, kinda dirty, and just... mmm.

Matt could have done the "improve anything in my house" line with a bit more sarcasm, but that's just me.

Whoever wrote Jer's dialogue has the wordsmith in me swooning, along with his delivery of it. "Verisimilitude" is a hard word to pull off correctly.

(Thanks to Kathleen's explanation of the honk revenge technique, if you guys put a "Time is Money"-style "PHYSICS!" exclamation in the next video, I will laugh so hard.)

You really don't want to know what lines I "thought" Graham was going to say in response to Kathleen's $600 question when he started off with, "I just need to find a woman..."

All in all... excellent work!

Very enjoyable. I really like what you guys have done with this series cinematographically and I think its pretty safe to say that lrr has put together something very enjoyable outside of their regular comedy shorts.

I might be alone on this one but I would like to see them focus on this series and drop rapidfire.

In general, a brilliant episode.
Shame about the advert constantly popping up midway! I felt like I was acting as a pop-up blocker the whole time....

...not using Firefox with AdBlock Plus installed?

Someone said I should use NoScript, but I ended up unblocking everything except what ABP blocks anyway, so I canned it.(NoScript will, for example, disable LRR videos and make YouTube not work by default.)

Kathleen wrote:I think this one feels more like a sitcom for many people because it was written more like one. I wrote the first draft of the script, then Graham added more stuff to it - (the Alex delivery scene, the sideways TV, and a few others), and then everyone sort of did their own take on the acting and line delivery.
Originally the third scream was going to be Matt dropping his iPhone, but Graham changed to the the ball kick (and added that scene) for EPIC win.
In short, a team effort.

I just use basic Firefox, no adblock or anything else. The only add-ons I have are Chatzilla, Greasemonkey, and DownloadHelper (for youtube), none of those would have any effect on blocking ads, yet I have no trouble at all with them here.

That reminds me of a similar situation. At my winter semester concert with my a cappella group, I needed to sound check for the vocal percussion mic. He said for me to start, I simply did a bass drum "P" and proceeded to EAR RAPE THE ROOM WITH FEEDBACK FOR AT LEAST A MINUTE. My response after the noise subsided? Raised hands and "Cool, I did that myself." Followed by shaking my head to stop the ringing.

Can you guys tell me what ads are the issue? I'm taking to Blip to put a stop to it, but we nee to know which ones.

The reason some people aren't seeing it (like myself, for example) is because they're regional ads, so not everyone gets them.

I was getting Ads for that new movie Role Models. They just would not close after closing the first ad. You had to play it and then stop playing it to watch the video without 1/4 of it being covered up.

That was the only ad affecting me during the videos, thanks Graham.
It was really too big:

I give you this instead

Yeah, Role Models here too, but if you change from full-screen down to normal size it works, most of the time.

Yeh, RoleModels. Wouldn't close properly, usually if I kept on clicking 'X' it would give up and close eventually, or clicking on it to start the ad playing.

Same, Role Models.

Is it just people from the UK having this problem or something? I notice a trend ...
