This video was great for three main reasons.
1. It was hilarious.
2. Graham in one of the best shirts I've ever seen.
3. Paul steely resolve to keep filming after a head injury.
Oh it looked that hurt a lot, I hope it wasn't too bad.

Wait, what??

*goes to watch the video again.*

... That's because Morgan isn't in this one.

I await your return with baited breath. God speed, dark knight.

God. Speed.

EDIT: Or maybe I meant bated. I'm not sure what type of bait would catch an Evil Jim.

I have to say that I knew the Axe spray was Axe from the beginning, and wondered why you were spraying it at him, lol. Although, I also used to think half of you were related (see my escapist post).

But yeah, that was great, I love your ways to X to Y series! I can't wait to see what you do with them next :D

Paul's skills of playing a dead body work to great effect for playing a sleeping person as well.

And, we all knew that Paul was a consummate professional. Taking a head injury for the team is the only way to go. I know, was in a commercial where I got beaned in the face with a whiffle bat. Had to do the take nearly two dozen times.

I can see where you may have made this mistake WBAGNR. My first viewing, I totally thought Jeremy was Morgan in the "Alarm Shock" bit.

God. Speed.
Well here it is. I hope it was worth the wait.


Ok, a few more comments.

I'm not sure what the logo on Tim's shirt represents. My guess is either elephants or hockey... or both.

Matt's reaction from the smelling salts was fantastic. It really looked like there was something horrible smelling in the bottle.

Alarm Clock was perfect, I wouldn't change it a bit. However, Alarm Shock should have had the electronic beeping sound effect since the bell was used for the other one.

Graham as a morning-hour DJ looked exactly like how I imagine those obnoxious douchebags. Nice work.

I think James is my favourite actor in this one, especially with Alarm Clock & Jump Start :)

I know Paul hit his head on the tub faucet, (which can be really, seriously painful if you do it right... or at all) but when they carried him out of the room it looked like James very nearly clocked his head against the edge of the door as well.

Glad to see the Sam Rami, especially with the sound effects. I feel that really enhances the gag. Also, I don't believe we've ever seen a part of "The Force" before. It looks . . . surprisingly human.

Out of the many great moments of win in this vid I think my personal fave would have to be the RPG. Mad props to Paul for soldier through after the cold shower, too.

Best preview pic ever! Paul looked so adorable :)

Three cheers for another episode of my favourite series. Perhaps the next one will be ways to unintentionally injure yourself during a shoot. Loved the tie-in with Daddys got you, Bill looked so disappointed it didn't work. Also I thought it was a good thing to have that clip at the end of the video to see Paul was ok and all.

Haha yeah he probably thought he was the master at that and even his powers of simulated gay couldn't wake Paul up :P

Hockey

It is the logo of the Quebec Nordiques, a NHL team which played in Quebec City. In 1995 they moved to Denver where they became the Colorado Avalanche.

Doesn't he play the flute in the free jazz bit? Or am I going crazy?

EDIT: Oh crap, that's Jer.

My mistake. Sorry about the cufuffle.

Graham's outfit in the morning DJ method was lolable. Once again, when all else fails, send in the Sam Raimi to get the job done right.

Another great video, keep up the great work.

You never get a great look at Tim's back, but I think it's a #10 Guy Lafleur shirt too.

I'm not entirely sure which my favourite way was in this video. It's usually obvious, as one inparticular will have me laughing hysterically... but they all did! The cold shower... for the reasons others have mentioned (Sorry Paul... but you have to admit, it was funny...), and the mornind DJ. Although I wanted to kill Graham's shirt with acidic fire.

Well, we've seen a hand holding a credit card before. But it's never, you know, poked people or anything. That was certainly new.

Graham as a DJ - Fantastic
"Daddy's got you" - Brilliant
Sam Raimi - Great as always
Paul's head - Ow.

As a side note, has anyone here read the children's book Wake Up, William? Very similar concept, except that William is faking it, and everyone end up joining him in the end. So not that similar at all, really. But still, there's a parallel there, I'm pretty sure.

I loved the Gay Chicken callback, along with the rest of the video. Is the rifle Matt uses in the S.W.A.T. scene the one used in Crapshots?

Hehe, Fair enough, but there's got to be a cool story or reason why you have that shirt? Seems pretty old too.

James and I bought shirts when we were in Vancouver for the 6th anniversary screening. He got the Jets and I got the Nordiques.

The shirt looks old because it's designed to.
