One of the best videos in a while.

I love how civil they are about the whole thing, especially at the end. I just imagine it as being a Mario & Bowser relationship, girlfriend kidnapped on monday, epic battle by friday, then cool off with gokarts and tennis over the weekend.

Now in the next Rapidfire series I just want shots of LeFarge (LaFarge? Lapharge?) slowly scooting across Victoria cut in between everything else.... and ending back at his hideout with Graham's character on the last episode. To what end, I don't know. Hey, I'm not the comedy writer, you guys are!

I am perhaps more amused than I should be that Matt, of all people, got the line "this isn't my first pony ride".

Loved the video as a whole. Very fast-paced humor. And for some reason it's always entertaining when Graham gets his parents involved.

I found that more funny than it probably was. Anyway, great video. Loved the obscurity of the entire situation.

For some reason Matt's delivery of "Hi, Brian" has yet to stop being funny.

Oh hell yes, or any Rapidfire at all really. But since Rapidfire works best... well... rapid fire you guys should pitch it as a new thing, instead of spending months dragging it out through the main LRR videos.
Just have a Rapidfire week every x number of months, or when the Escapist has a bunch of their programming on hiatus for whatever reason. Would be great for them for smoothing out content droughts, and great for you since you could really just film them whenever inspiration strikes or time is available and have them at the ready. </dreaming>
Of course there is no law saying it has to be at the escapist, you could just do it for free for no reason at all and release it right away! </really dreaming>

If he wanted to get back to his hideout, why doesn't he just kidnap himself?

Is it wrong that I wanted to see more of Matt gamely shuffling off to the side?

Guys that was hilarious. Best one I think you've made in a while.
Please keep on this train.
The quick editing and randomness are gold (for me at least) and I would love to see more of it!
Thanks!

Being able to kidnap someone whilst being kidnapped ones self seems like a very useful life skill and one that I must acquire as soon as possible :D

We don't have to explain anything. If someone asks, we will.
If they give us a strange look, we probably will.

Otherwise, they'll just enjoy the weirdness.

Turns out I replied to a VERY convincing spammer, who asked if we ever explain ourselves to pedestrians.
