Re: Echo
This did seem, to me, like a weaker video overall. Actually, the echo effect itself was a little bit distracting... too artificial sounding or somesuch. Regardless, a clever line or two, and a great double act to be sure.

Oh! I didn't notice Graham was wearing a Desert Bus shirt until I saw the blog photos of the shoot.

Re: Echo
That was great! It was pretty funny at first and then got hilarious at the whole elaborate homosexual part,lol. Also, how you captured the echo lines is pretty funny. Too bad there's no video of you yelling at each other, lol. That could be hilarious in itself

Re: Echo
Smirk was great. The long frolicking was great. Video was great. My favourite thing was how it didn't even rhyme, the echo was absolutely nothing like the original line.

The label on the boom says, "RODE," so that's helpful, too.

Re: Echo
Graham... you need to share.
Also... I could not stop laughing at this. I needed to watch it about 3 times before I heard the whole video over my own laughter.

That was entertaining enough to deserve some sort of reward:
Re: Echo
I thought this video was brilliant and I didn't know Andy wrote sketches - at least ones that aren't songs. I laughed pretty hard at the whole thing. While the answering echo might be a common joke, having it become a 4-way conversation gives it a twist that the great writing and acting spun together in a such a way to give it surprising originality.
I'll join the chorus that says the stinger seems like a more appropriate ending than the ending itself. I'm curious as to whether Graham or other LRR members would care to step in on explaining how the stingers come to be. Are they written after the script has been polished or do they come along with the full script? It would be interesting to hear on a podcast how the stinger on this one was conceived.

Good call ecocd! We'll talk all about stingers, and this one in specific, on the podcast!

Re: Echo
You know, without the echoes, this would be an almost as funny, entirely different video about Andy having a psychotic break in the wilderness with lots of awkward pauses.
A: You should have seen the look on her face. She must have jumped a foot in the air.
G: I bet she did!
(pause)
A: What?
G: I said I bet she did!
A: Oh.
G: Yeah, just... just look at that view! This would be a great spot for our next company retreat.
(pause)
A: Excuse me?
G: Sorry?
A: Did you... did you just call my wife a bitch?
G: No! Why would I say that?
A: Okay, now, you definitely said it that time.
G: Said-- said what?
A: You did it again! You just called my wife a bitch!

Re: Echo
This has to be the funniest overall sketch I've seen from you guys. Not saying the others are bad, just this one had me laughing hysterically from the first "You're wife's a bitch!"
I honestly think the timing was pretty spot on compared to what they had to do for editing, especially with the echo timing. No matter how many times I watch this, the whole "Does your wife know?", "Does your bitch know?" part has me losing my proverbial shit, even without the Graham Smirk (a Grirk?).
Awesome job guys! I'd love to see some behind the scenes video of you guys screaming the echoed parts.

Re: Echo
I should add that this video has caused my friends and I to shout randomly at each other "Your wife's a bitch!" Although that has more to do with the aforementioned way this was recorded. I just showed this to another of my friends from work and I was like "yeah, thats why we keep yelling that at each other."
