Good, all in all. Liked the deliberate cheesy style.
Thought the thing with Momo's hat was unnecessary, looked like filler, didn't accomplish....... anything.

It was less "filler" and more "I'm Morgan! I want to show off my hat! I have sex with dead horses!"

Sort of made me think of Wonderful Game because of the mixture of music and some of the styling at the start.

That was pretty rad guys. =P

i love that style of fake background (best part of the skycaptain movie imho). I'd love to see more done with this. Maybe a matrix parody with mac/pc guy. :)

I'm going to have to agree with this estimation. The effects and acting were all spot-on, and I get what you were trying to do, but I don't think I like westerns enough to find this funny. It really just seems... accurate. Which is horrible.

Though I did laugh, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be laughing. I laughed at Paul's sneakers, and the Bagel Emporium sign, and the fact that Matt was Jimmy. Why are interns and sidekicks ALWAYS called Jimmy?

Lil' Jimmy.

Jimmers.

Jim-jim.

I would like to see the washed-out technique used again, but it's probably a lot of work. It does make everyone look like they're in a flashback.... Hm....

This video was hilarious, and Paul is now the official master of all things IT...

Obviously he got around the error by creating an advanced linux system to run the network on

As I stated in the Late Video thread, when it popped on Revver..

BEST VIDEO EVER

fux you alja and alex

Going through the video again...
DJ Cuddlebunnies poster in IT dept
and ..."he's just the bagel delivery guy"
and Paul's constipated pain look while fixing the error.

All hilarious out of the several extremely funny jokes

I too don't really have a taste for westerns.... so I think I missed a lot of the parody aspects here. Makes me wish I'd seen more than the last 5 minutes of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. It's obvious a lot of work went into it though. I liked the posters too, and the final line. James could have been a little more melodramatic. I agree with the others, technically very well done, but not quite as funny as some.

Question, was the fuzziness around James and Matt's faces due to the blue screen, or due to making it look like it was an old movie?

Haha. I miss that joke. But yeah, felt it distracted me from the actual video, there. Ah well, a minor thing.

While I don't find this video hugely laughworthy, I must say that this is a VERY VERY VERY YES kind of video. The Art Direction and photography of the whole thing is really top-notch, and it is a great-quality spoof of the western genre.

Zing!

Epic win, guys. Did someone watch too many westerns this week? I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Morgan definitely does have a nice hat. But in westerns, the good guy usually wears a white hat, and the BAD guys wear dark ones... Following this trend, next week should be Morgan and Bill as Cheech and Chong.

Did anyone know that Chong's Canadian?

I thought this was gorgeous. I really liked it. It wasn't side-splitting hilarious, go for the gag stuff, and that's what made me like it even more. And Paul *nearly* missing the bagel was very giggleworthy.

This video is funny... because there is no joke. There were so many set-ups ("we have more chances of meeting a 250-lbs gorilla(?) than...", almost the whole video) and then... there's no punchline. I was expecting a punchline, and my expectations were subverted! Meta-Comedic Gold! But I don't think it would work more than once.

Oh, and Graham? Totally worth the wait.

I too greatly enjoyed the bagel groping. I also thought it was pretty funny that Paul was wearing sneakers with his otherwise very complete western garb

Given the context of the video, I begin to wonder about those technical difficulties you were facing in trying to upload the video, Graham....

As always very funny, I would have had the Clint Eastwood music during the showdown, but what ever. It was also a nice touch to have the posters and figures in the IT office.
