Even the world's most badass soldiers of fortune have occasional money trouble.

We couldn't find any cookie dough that wasn't studded with chocolate chips!

The burning dong line was the funniest thing I've heard all day.

And why wouldn't you want your C4 studded with chocolate chips?

So why not make the line, "This isn't C4; it's pizza dough!"

Not as funny? :P

3 > 1 > 2

This was fantastic, the "burnt dong" joke in particular. I couldn't quite catch the name of Alex's cat in Kathleen's (improved) sandpaper voice, though.

The original is still my favourite, but it is indeed great to see Kane & Crowthorne return in a properly made video.

Very good stuff :) I think I must have missed entry #2 somewhere along the way so I'll have to go back and look for it. I thought to pacing was well done. Poor North Korea.

Also, couldn't you have made cookie dough without chocolate chips?

Please make "This isn't C4, it's cookie dough. Score!" into a shirt, I find in hilarious.

I also really enjoy these characters. I'll be looking forward to Mercenary Solutions 4: This Time It's Personal (But Still Kind of About the Money Too).

Pretty good. Kathleen's really reaching on the voice though.

Liked the phone.

I really liked how Alex was just disarming the bomb like it was an everyday occurrence.

And Kathleen's defences for why they don't owe these people all the money ("But we also blew up the RIGHT embassy!") were priceless.

And was that a reference to James's character in The Job?

All in all, that was brilliant, the entire way through. Somehow putting mercenaries for hire through a pile of paperwork turns the boring into the hilarious. :D

Ahhh, Kane & Crowthorne, you mad pair of mercenaries. How I love you so :D .

Corporal Hungry Wiskers and 'burnt dong'......, lol, well done all.

Corporal Hungry Whiskers. Thanks, I couldn't make out what it was apart from <rank> <adjective> whiskers.

Does this mean in MS4 we get to see one of Kathleen's cats wearing an eye-patch?

Good video.

I'm sure I've asked this before, but I can't recall getting an answer but which is Kane and which is Crowthorne?

Always wondered that.
