commodoreHUSTLE 06 - Viral

[Cake]

Morgan is grinning the whole time during the space jump video, it makes it less believable. And yes, I realize Morgan can't not smile.

[Unlucky]

So, I submitted "Epic Nunchuk Fail" to break.com, and they main page'd it 4 hours later.

The the video on Break.com is shorter. Did you edit out the ball kick or did they?

That was them. Don't know why.

Ball kick makes it look WAY too scripted. Everything up until then is gold, then the ballkick comes in. NOBODY would do that pretty much. That, and Graham shoulda screamed REAL loudly at that one IMO. Double groin punch pretty much?

I feel unclean making average YouTube comments. *shudder* blech. I'm replying to people in all caps and speeeeling badly. I'm not qualifying my arguments. I'm being a fanboy.

Use the brainwashing guide to help you write comments... and the Audio preview.

tips:
*Don't subscribe to all of the channels (in fact, subscribing to one would be more than sufficient.)
*Be douchebags
*Emulate other youtube users


I'm going with thingsonmyhead and nunchucks for viralizing, with i herd u liek tits as a backup.

Let us know when it's safe to /b/ the videos.

I posted this on cHustle.com, but I will here too, just in case.

LRR Crew, forgive me if I'm out of line on this one.

You know… I think some people don’t realize that making grammatically correct comments that are just obvious references to cHustle episodes and LRR videos, does not only not help, but is also very risky. Somehow, it would make sense to me that when they say, “Keep it a secret,” they also mean to NOT openly risk having someone figure it out when you mention Three PS3s or the Reinhardt Skip, just so that you can feel witty at making an obvious joke that no one else in the comments got. That no one got YET, anyways. x.o

Seriously, guys, be more careful or you’re going to ruin their whole experiment here. “lol cool vid,” is still a lot more effective than any of that.

You should post some as video responses to the more popular videos that may be slightly related.

[Elomin Sha]

I really want to touch Matt's hair now.

But on another more serious note I think the exchanges between Matt and Graham have really imroved since Laundry as has the amount of storylines in each video.

[gcninja]

As I suggested on the cH site, why not pick a couple and DIGG it? this would get some attention if not alot of attention, and maybe even the "slashdot effect" and there you go, done and done(r).

[Trisha Lynn]

This sort of thing doesn't come naturally to me. But feel free to make fun of me for betraying the feminist cause. It can always be argued that I was trying to be ironic.

Hey, as long as you're cool with it! I mean, you wouldn't have agreed to do that specific one if you weren't going to be rolling with all the potentially rude and icky things that real YouTube people would be saying as well as the LRR-plants.

...right...?

The one issue with Kathleen's viral is the lack of boob flesh.

True, that does make it seem more ironic, but you'd definitely get more hits for, say, a bikini or some other more revealing garment.

If the most action is occuring in the arms, you're doing it wrong.

[Oxford]

I'm definitely not the first to say this but,



WOOOOOOO NAKED GRAHAM!

Yeah.

I'm not gay.

[Unlucky]

WOOOOOOO NAKED GRAHAM!

Yeah.

I'm not gay.

Lol, obviously I'm not either 'cos I don't even remember that. When the deuce was he naked?

[Kdz]

Shower scene.

[Oxford]

Shower scene.

After the first time Matt says "Youtube".

[Cake]

I fail to see how acting like a douche bag in the youtube comments gives the experiment 'authenticity.' Why don't you guys just try not commenting?

If it's highly commented it's liable to be perceived as more popular.

Also, Graham and Matt asked us too.

The video was great. It just cracks me up that guys would sit outside a mall for games that haven't been released yet. I'm anxiously awaiting Diablo 3 so I can relate. I'm in a hurry or I would expound on favorite scenes further.

Assuming the ballkick part is what made it seem especially fake, that seems to imply they knew it was fake, but it's still funny enough to warrant a front page post. Kudos! 34,698 views on Break.com. I don't know if it counts as "viral," but if it hits 50,000 then you've got quite a base set up.

I loved SPACE JUMP! I think it would've been more effective with something contemporary like Halo or GTA, but it's still hilarious. Props to Morgan and Matt.

Can I ask how this is all going to work? It feels to me a little like a "Step 1 collect underpants, step 2 ..., Step 3 profit!" situation.

The ball kick seemed the most real to me. I bet Morgan ad libed it.

[RytelCSF]

Step 2 is obviously Space Jump, but Matt doesn't know how to use it, so there you go.

RE: Video Responses

From what I've seen, video responses can take many forms on youtube, but the most common ones I have seen are just doing the same thing by a different person. I think that it may be a good idea to wait a bit, have LRR post a few more virals, and then people can make one or two video "responses" (ie rip-offs) for some of them, and that may make it more authentic.

mckitkat: Sorry Kathleen, you look far too intelligent to be shaking your boobs to the internet. If you could recruit Kate or someone even younger(We're going for "I'm stupid and sixteen"), it might work.

Thanks.

You don't have to be stupid and sixteen if you can pull it off. Kathleen can't pull it off. Honestly, I'm not sure you could either(which is why I didn't stop there), but you're closer than Kathleen simply by merit of being younger.

(Yeah, there's no way I'm gonna get out of this one.)

Wow, the first page of comments on Break.com for the nunchuck vid is about mexican jokes...

I'm glad they cut the ball kick out. I agree that it made the whole thing less realistic; it just wouldn't happen. If you guys can put up an edited version on YouTube (which I would highly recommend) and take down the old one, then I think you will get lots of success.

To all who are not fans of Morgan's Revenge (as I call it):

Clearly, none of your friends are dicks.

I've seen this kind of thing happen. Still, I'm glad it was cut, because I thought it looked exceedingly fake. Didn't even look like he made good contact.

[Foyghost]

my wife and I could not stop laphing which is not good because we were watching it in the middle of a restrant

[Evil Jim]

We have a traitor in our midst. At the break.com nunchuck jousting video...

sorry to say this but this is truly fake. It was preplanned to see who can get the most hits on other video sites. http://loadingreadyrun.com/vid at 16:00.
