I was like holy shit!

Also: at the end of the T shirt add you can hear someone (paul?) say cut.


I think I heard a laugh.

I think the music tied together the whole video quite nicely. And were both of James characters supposed to be the same guy/ Or am I retarded and thats not James in the line.

Great video. I too dislike those who over-tweet and constantly update their status.

Have to compliment Graham on the ending. Prostate exam: always funny.

Evidently this was my 33 seconds of StLRRdom.

Twas fun to film, all I knew was to stand in a line and look like I was bored waiting for the concert. In the baking heat my first inclination was to pull out my phone and start pretending to play Tetris :P

Most LRR videos I quite enjoy. However, I haven't laughed so hard at an LRR video since "Wyy" and "PSA:Uwe Bowle". I have started using Twitter but I try to avoid overuse on it but can relate to the goings on in the video. Good work guys!

EDIT: Also in a bit of self-referential (meta?) irony, I posted a link to the video on Twitter. Hope you guys don't mind.

Great vid guys.

I'm not always a fan (at least the first time around) of your 'silent' movies (that aren't x ways to y) but this one had me smiling the whole time, with a few laughs sprinkled for flavor.

Point of note: In the credits, Lying's name is spelled "Maugan" thus lacking a vital "h." You might want to fix that :>.

I did! It was just something in his finger pointing...or perhaps it was the nasal qualities of his voice that shone through even from underneath the Vader-y voice effects!

I swore it was Brad too.

So much in fact, I quickly glanced down searching for his name in the credits.

I think that was Graham starting to laugh at the end of the ad.


And xahldera, the more links to us you post on Twitter the better. Go nuts! (Well, don't annoy all your friends, though. That could be bad.)

Only Bill would really have that ability, but either way, harsh man!

You're 5'1" right? Even by my normal-Canadian(not giant LRR team) standard, that's small.

There are not enough street musicians in the world who play bass. I would actually consider giving a bass playing street musician money just for the novelty.

The shorter person in line for PV.


The one next to James? If so... I thought that person was a girl.

It was the wrist-coverings!

...wait... is Lying a girl or a guy...?

He's puny, especially compared to the crew.

He wears a ponytail (as his pic alludes)

And wrist coverings.

I think you can be forgiven. At least by me, who thought the same the first time round...

I am all man.

And look closer, those are fingerless gloves :P

If I was any kind of female, the strap from my laptop bag would be making it fairly obvious.

The crabcore bit made me chuckle.

I'm sure some of these jokes went a ways over my head, but it was overall quite entertaining.

I only just realized that in the ad, Jer is dressed like Han Solo. That's totally Morgan's gig, you guys!

~Alja~

Addendum: Also, Morgan now looks like a cross between Bret McKenzie from Flight of the Conchords and Gaspard Augé from Justice. This is awesome.

Addendum 2: For the imaginatively impaired...

That's why he tagged his note about the nurse #royalhospital. Theoretically the nurse reads posts about his hospital.

As for the others, a lot of mobile devices, like the iPhone, have Twitter clients with a "Nearby" feature that just shows you people posting nearby.

I did think about this.

Oh, I had assumed that they were all coincidentally following him, and he hadn't yet realized the downside to his popularity.

Awesome. I didn't really laugh too much, but it was very well done. I plan to experiment with motion tracking in my next film, as well. :D
