The Columbus of the Internet

[Kathleen]

So we made a video!

[JackSlack]

OK. How much of this was inspired by the HBGary comments about 'journeying to the deep web'? Heh. Also, I didn't laugh much, but I smirked throughout. Good video.

(As an aside, "Deep Web" is a real thing. Really. He didn't make that phrase up.)

[Vigafre]

Like I said on the Escapist, nice use of tumblr. I know this is more "I know where the idea came from", but whatever.

Also, nice use of Great Sea from Wind Waker. I know it wasn't exactly that, but I definitely heard it.

[King Kool]

So he's looking for a place where the women don't have penises and so he goes to 4chan? The place with penises on sewing machines?

Just like Columbus thought he'd found India...

[Beta Test]

I also didn't lol, but instead lqtmed (laughed quietly to myself), as it was a video of subtle jokes and I still enjoyed, and loved the use of Wind Waker, it's my favorite game, ever.

[Drinnik]

I did lol. And I lol'd at my own failure at history, I thought it was the Hispaniola, not the Santa Maria. Then I remembered, that was the ship from Treasure Island...

[Mercenary]

While not hilarious haha laugh out loud im spilling my guts funny.

I still found it enjoyable.

Also: Normal porn?

What's that?

[RytelCSF]

Normal, vanilla porn? One man, one woman, no surprise penises?

Ugh... and here I thought I had heard of all the creepy fetishes...

[Robert Merlow]

It was a very subtle video, and it was good. Not great, but certainly good.

It's funny, but again, I recognized this as a Kathleen script early on in the video.

Co-written, thank you

I thought this was a very well produced video. The lighting, editing, sound etc. were all well done. The effects were subtle but effective. I thought it was pretty funny too!

[Slack Mesa]

The music seemed a bit louder and more prominent in this one (yay!).

The protagonist's search for normal porn reminded me of a comic by former Brunching Shuttlecocks creator Lore Fitzgerald Sjoberg in which a man who dated totally normal women was accused of having a "normo fetish." I'd link to it, but all of Lore's websites seem to have vanished.

[AmazingZoidberg]

As someone who previously lived in Columbus, OH, I was sorely disappointed.

[Kaiserin]

I like subtle. I love it when you guys do subtle

[WaffleIronMan]

"You're not gonna be browsing through a whole bunch of thumbnails and be like: whoa, she's got a dick."

Jesus, how did you not laugh at that delivery? Sooo dry, sooo good.

[Lyinginbedmon]

So, Eduardo-PC succumbed to eScurvy?

[EikoandMog]

Certainly an epic journey for the last true sanctuary of the internet. Props for the 4chan joke and I lost my shit at him calling the last lappy the Eduardo.

Like this?

For a script, exposure to Kathleen is like exposure to radiation, though. Sure, it might once have been a script, but now that shit's a surrealist, tentacled rainbow dreamboat and there's no going back. <333

This sketch wasn't my favorite. A good effort though!

And now my sad day has turned happy thanks to that wonderful discription.

I have to say that every part of the Specialty Forum Coast is pure gold. The Concepts, the Names, the map, and the contrasting levels of fucked-upedness between subjects all of it comes together to form this perfect little horror.

[iamafish]

vanilla porn? Porn with ice cream? THAT I wanna see.

Also, no love for the lesbians from this dude. I like my porn where all the penises are plastic.

LRR's first poster?

[LogicSword]

While there were some really, really funny bits in it, I wasn't a massive fan of this video. It felt too much like the same joke repeated over and over again.

Ah well.
