The Bet

[Adewade]

I'm constantly impressed that you manage to make a video every weeek.

Ditto. That kind of level of dedication is impressive.

[Rhynome]

There comes a point where it stops being enjoyable and becomes a chore. I hope that point's a long way off for you guys.

It isn't that it's not work, I mean, it can be tough sometimes, so I do consider it work, but it isn't a chore.

We still love doing this, and we're having a grand old time, so don't you worry.

[Rhynome]

Yeah, I was going to say 'work' instead of 'chore' but then it dawned on me that actually it is work, and a hell of alot of it.

So uh... huzzah!

[brc64]

I actually had that same ringtone on my old phone (got a new one just last week). It always made people smile when they heard it.

And I agree, Kathleen looks great with the glasses.

[Alex Steacy]

Hey G! Those guys treated you like a door matte!

GET IT!? Hahahahah!

*cough*

...

[miakosummin]

This is actually probably my favorite video lately. I loved it.
I KNOW THERE WAS SOMETHING WITH THE CONTROLLERS. My first instinct was those are snes controllers and it sounds like mario 3, for nes, but I'm not sure. Pausing during the video, I don't recognise the game, it may be... Augh, this is going to drive me insane.

[Graham]

I don't recognise the game, it may be...

Super Mario World, SNES

[dark_realm]

i have so many version of take on me, the original version by aha i fell in love with, then i heard reel big fish's version, then i heard Emil Bulls version (kind of a rock/metal version) so i set out to find as many as i could!

also good work on the video guys! very well made, i loved the video editing in it also...

[Izzy2120]

Great Job guys, I loved the Talk Talk Talk part and the look a of deviousness on Paul's face, like he was enjoying every millisecond of it....
and Kathleen was a pro at the high five, lol

good on ya guys

Cheers
Craig

I didn't say it was your fault, I'm just Blaming you!

[dillo]

yeah i'm glad you guys went with the 7 clips of 'talk talk talk' as well. we all thought it would be cheezy or over the top but it's probably one of the best parts of the video!

was this video the debut for your new ring tone, graham? you've been dying to use it haven't you..
"this is totally worth two dollars!!"

-jessica

oh, and also i would like to say that kathleen is super cute and i'm glad i got to meet her. hi kathleen!

[Kathleen]

and Kathleen was a pro at the high five, lol

Ha! I was trying to teach Paul my ridiculously elaborate secret friends handshake, however, it was too hard. Also too silly.
Thanks for all the glasses compliments dudes.

And finally - Matthew, you know me too well. I was at Graham's and too lazy to log in.

[Tapir12]

Finally had a chance to watch this one. The cut-out in the door was halarious! The charades scene had me laughing. Overall it was really good.

[Paul]

Kathleen's secret handshake was fine right up until the fish slap, then it just got silly.

-P

[Lissette Arevalo]

Oh, Paul, you loved the fish slap, you are just embarrassed! Admit it, you practiced when you got home didn't you? Didn't you Paul? hehehe

[matthewm]

And finally - Matthew, you know me too well. I was at Graham's and too lazy to log in.

Kind of weird considering I've met you once... ;p

[robothero]

Did you guys really put a hole in the door? It doesn't look fake, but i'm an idiot so what do I know.

I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that that effect was done on computer.

[Pirate James]

The only reason I asked such a dumb question was because there are certain shots in the film where you can see a new(er?) wall. It looks like drywall just got put in. I figured if someones house was being redone that maybe they had an expendable door. A mider saw and a few measurements and voila! A Graham shaped hole.

[Graham]

I figured if someones house was being redone

Good spotting!
That's a new wall for Jessica's room, but that's the extent of any renovations.

So, no, it's not real. It was a "special" effect.

[JesterJ.]

The ringtone! Take On Me, by Reel Big Fish (if its not, I'll eat my own socks.) I can't believe someone else ACTUALLY knows that band! Woo!!

While I DO know Reel Big Fish, they are good, and I know their cover of Take On Me, the original (and the version in the ringtone) is by Norweigan one-hit-wonders A-Ha.
Remember? The one with the groundbreaking music video?
No?

And now, the obligatory:

Kathleen says: "Stop being born after all the good music has been made."
Reel Big Fish? I mean sure, they're good but... Take on Me? ...mumble grumble...

You want some ketchup with those socks?

Bahhhhh...But I got the song name right anyways. So...Ankle socks instead of tube socks? And yeah, I didn't know that it was a remake, I like it though. And yes, I like Reel Big Fish (all the "...s" and "mumble grumbles" afterwards tell me you dont approve). SKA FTW.

[Graham]

(all the "...s" and "mumble grumbles" afterwards tell me you dont approve)

Of Reel Big Fish? Oh no, don't misunderstand me, nothing against Reel Big Fish, they're cool.

It's somewhat akin to saying "I love 'Paint it Black'! Gob is a great band!"

[James]

I was at the reel big fish and goldfinger show in vancouver a couple weeks ago and it was awsome

that is all

[dark_realm]

i saw reel big fish in 2004 with area 7 and sounds like chicken, was a very good gig...

[Lissette Arevalo]

It's somewhat akin to saying "I love 'Paint it Black'! Gob is a great band!"

Why Graham, *weeping,* whhhhyyyyyyyyyy?

[Pirate James]

Good spotting!

Thats what I do best.
