Rent

[Graham]

Alternate payment plans can be helpful.

Video here.

[dackwards d]

Short and sweet. And hilarious. And snappy. And I'm running out of words, so I'll stop now.

Ooh! Ooh! Also coniferous! Yeah. That's a good word.

[Master Gunner]

Ah, nothing like some quick, witty, dialog to start the day off right.

[Vigafre]

For some reason I feel that it is Tim that owes the 2 years. IT'S BEEN TOO LONG.

[Micasr]

Everyone hates bookkeeping, and those that don't mind it... have no souls D: or friends... I think it's one of them.

[wilson_x1999]

So Tim was off paying the rent of the Moonbase? It all makes sense now! and it's now Jer's turn, that's why he is leaving for a while o.o

[tak197]

I love the stinger. "But I have my stitch and bitch on Monday nights!"

Oh Paul...

[ThrashJazzAssassin]

The Escapist video player is currently being phail, so I'll have to give my feedback based on the preview picture alone:

This week's video was awesome/average/abysmal [delete as appropriate]. I liked the bit where Tim was in it.

[goat]

I have been through equivalent calculations about how much of my time I'm giving up for a certain amount of money. Very depressing. Nice to have a light-hearted take on it, though.

[Master Gunner]

Interest really is a killer, depending on when he starting paying back. Assuming he has 20 apartments to rent out at a Monday/month each, that would take 3 years to pay off the two years he owes currently.

[Geoff_B]

Hey that would work fine for me - I always want to sleep in on Mondays

[JackSlack]

Interest really is a killer, depending on when he starting paying back. Assuming he has 20 apartments to rent out at a Monday/month each, that would take 3 years to pay off the two years he owes currently.

And that's assuming the interest stays still. It's more likely he'll accrue more interest as he goes. I'd be betting 4-5 years.

If only this was real as i hate mondays, like money & want a nice place to rent

[nicholasmc1]

Another happy tuesday morning

[Wolfenbarg]

This apartment isn't just special effects, is it? I'd hate to think you're stealing Tim's Mondays by pulling a fast one like you almost did on Andy.

[Duckay]

I've got a lot of RENT jokes in my head right now.

I like the part where Tim was in it.

Also, I wouldn't take that deal either, Paul. Stand up for your stitch and bitch!

[Tapir12]

Mondays sound like an excellent deal. They are usually just a waste of time anyways. It seemed to me that this was a role that would normally go to Matt (the skeptical straight man?) so it's a little ironic that it was Tim instead.

[RLYoshi]

TIM HAZ RETURNED! Oh and the video was good too. I'd gladly give up the first Monday of every month for a good apartment. It's those Saturdays I don't want to lose.

[Ahlir]

I don't want to give up my Mondays... That's LRR and Unskippable day. You can my Tuesday thou.

Everyone hates bookkeeping, and those that don't mind it... have no souls D: or friends... I think it's one of them.

...b-b-bbut....I like bookkeeping...



I'm pretty sure I have a soul - it's blackened and shriveled up like a decades old prune, but it hurts when I do amoral or immoral things...

...pretty much accurate about the friends bit, though.




ANYWAYS, cool idea, great execution, and I especially like Graham's exasperated mood (and the whole 'I hate bookkeeping' bit - it adds verisimilitude to the whole state of affairs.


I'd dearly love to give up 1 day a month to chip away at my debts; as goat noted, I'm really getting boned by how much of my 'time-equivalence' I've devoting to them...


Thank you for making a miserable, defeated man smile for a couple of minutes.

[Gap Filler]

Tim! Its a wild Tim, everybody. Oh, and a cracking video.

Maybe its more of a tension and atmosphere kind of video, as opposed to a volley of gags type (then again, I tend to prefer the former anyway), but its still a real corker. Just love the way it simmers and simmers.

Doubt I could hack that payment scheme. My time is more valuable than my money.

[Geoff_B]

So is there going to be a competition between Tim and Jer for who can guest star in the most videos?

[Fezzul]

I approve of this video. I approve of Tim's presence in it also. I give it my seal of approval.

[RytelCSF]

Wait... so if the rent is Monday, what's the security deposit?

[Yaxley]

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
