tak197: you new avatar is awesome XD

[JesterJ.]

tak197: Your new avatar is going to confuse the crap out of me for months. I hope you're happy.

[Yukikaze]

I'm only two and a half minutes in, but Morgan and Paul win the episode.

Also, Paul still looks really weird with a naked chin, but if you cover his chin, then his beard magically returns! Try it!

[edit]and done. Epic video is epic. I kinda wish there was less language so I could show my parents, because they'd love this stuff.[/edit]

[Lag]

I wonder if you can guess who spearheaded the writing on this episode.

Kathleen?

Not very many people were guessing, so I thought I'd chip in with that.

Also, dear God, this video is rib-crushingly funny.

EDIT: Tak's new avatar is impossible to watch without laughing.

I'm going to say Alex, something just seems very Alexy about it, and if not him, Matt.

[ArmondoSC]

I really liked the title sequence in this one, very creative.

Could you post pics of the crane that's behind Morgan? I looks super awesome.

Also, I love Paul and Grahams back and forth about the salad spinner. And Kathleens "Sweetie, I'm scheming."

You guys really can't do anything wrong anymore...

I just noticed somthing, Desert Bus Happened within CH but Desert Bus but LRR is getting the "not" underground moon base after desert bus, plus the copy of Prince of Persia proves it's late 08, early 09.

time is a very fluid thing when you're filming a series that updates monthly but is supposed to be continuous.

Basically, shuttuuuuuup.

Did anyone have these REALLY obtrusive ads pop up that wouldn't close over the video?

ALA this:

It would not go away until I clicked on it to watch the first 2 seconds of the video. It was ruining the video for me having to click on it every minute.

Yes, I was getting them watching at blip.tv in the wee small hours of yesterday morning (UK time)

Firefox and Adblock Plus,
These two things are quite the must,
Download and install post haste,
To do away with all ad-space.
If you find this measure lacks,
There's one or two more handy hacks,
For full control, get Script Block too,
To keep malicious code from you.

[AlexanderDitto]

That... was amazing.

AMAZING.

Best CH to date. The timing of Matt's screams, and Graham running up and kicking him in the balls... brilliant. Really, really brilliant. Perfect, even.

I laughed really hard at Jer honking the horn in his face.

I'm well aware of that option (however poetically put), but I've never bothered because I handle all adblocking natively by just not looking at them - its only when the close button doesn't work that it's an issue for me...

[Master Gunner]

Wil Wheaton been in this episode inspired me to calculate the Bacon Numbers of the crew. Turns out you all have a Bacon Number of 3. Thus anybody who has appeared with any of you has a Bacon Number of 4.

How this works is: cH04-Fixer (or lock-out, but this has more people in it) has Wil Wheaton in it. Wil was in The Last Starfighter with Geoffrey Blake. Geoffrey was in Frost/Nixon with, you guessed it, Kevin Bacon.

[Keith K]

How do you know the crew doesnt know Kevin Bacon? Or that they dont know people closer to KB than WW?

Maybe Rick Mercer, Penn & Teller or the crew at 'Whose Line?' are good buddies with the Baconator.

[Chris_Gonzalez]

I have to say, guys, that was absolutely amazing. And the writing might be Matt's. <_<

Like everyone else has said, the swipe to the scene at James's house was great, and the ball-kick at the end was totally unexpected at that point. Great video.

Now, I have a question regarding comodoreHustle and the DVDs. Since you guys said it was sitcom-ish, are you going to release them as their own series of DVDs? Or just include them on whatever season they're in?

Either would really be fine with me.

[Matt]

we all have a bacon number of 2, thank you.

[Dominic Appleguard]

By the way, if Graham got a London Fog, and Paul got a Dublin Fog, could you say that Jer got a Beijing Fog or a Tiannamen Square?

No, a Beijing Fog would probably use chocolate milk. Or gasoline. Or perhaps just milk, but way too much milk, so much as to be really irresponsible.

On a more related note, I adored this video. In particular, Morgan and Bill simply adapting to all of their shit being moved around. The callback to "ass-pwn your butt-face", Morgan really enjoying "Sideways TV", all good.
Also, the cutaway to Kathleen's reality show is super. Jer nailed that reaction.

huh.

The internetz. They lied to me.

[Philes]

The double Matt scream/kicked in the balls by Graham/Graham jog-walking away triumphantly combo made me laugh so hard I got tears in my eyes.

I love you guys.

[Mercenary]

Awesome:
New Intro: Cept Paul has a beard but I guess you guys made that before Desert Bus
Graham's kick to the Matt's balls and the timing of it.
Matt's collection.
Also that Paul goes to City Council meetings.


Matt is going to kill you guys. D:

Wil's appearence is brillant!

[Tim]

For clarification, you can see the boom mic briefly dip into the top-middle of the shot between 2:23 and 2:24. It's pretty harmless.

Also, the episode turned out better than the script, IMO. Good execution!

That's what they said about humans too but they used the phrase "Mostly harmless"

[Master Gunner]

Also, I'm loving Paul's character more and more every episode. I love the small amount of douchebaggery and smugness combined with his utter seriousness, giving us such great lines like the facebook shell script ("I stand by its decision.") and the Dublin Fog ("Also, my drink harbours a great resentment towards your drink.").

[Gray24]

I have to say bravo to the LRR crew. I have never laughed so hard and at so many intervals then I did with this episode.

In my opinion this episode is the first that seems to me like a sitcom type show. Not to say that the other three episodes weren't funny.

This one gets my vote for the funniest.

[AeroCmdr]

There is some epic hilarity in this video. Great Job!

also Wil Wheaton is awesome.
