[Matt]

Some types of geek should not cohabitate.

I was almost in tears at the end (laughing tears, not sad tears). Awesome video.

[Darkobra]

How DARE you insult Die Hard?!

But yeah! Absolutely loved this video on SO many levels!

[Geoff_B]

Woo nice job Met . I like the part where an encyclopedic knowledge of Doctor Who doesn't extend to having the right sonic screwdriver for the fourth Doctor

Great vid

[Havok4]

Nice sketch about the true way to identify a geek, taking something unimportant and taking it way to seriously.

[Geoff_B]

Anyway they're both wrong. Babylon 5 kicks Star Wars and Star Trek's collective backsides clear into outer space.

[Gap Filler]

Mad props on the writing credit, Met.

[tamaness]

I quite like the callback to Feed Dump in the first line.

Good makeup/wardrobe/prop job for the post-fight scene.

Also: SEXTERMINATE!
(the most risque image I could find on the first page of google image search)

Hey! That's my kind of geek!

[Evil Jim]

This was a great video & I'm still laughing, but the only question I have at the moment is, why is there a jar of Vaseline up by the Guitar Hero box?

... because I was trying to keep it out of shot?

I'm a runner. Runners chafe.

Not just runners. Most athletes keep some around for varying reasons. You can use it to direct sweat away from eyes and prevent blisters too. I get jokes about it too but it's probably still the best thing to use for any of those problems... and the least good for what you're thinking about Jim

[Metcarfre]

Oh, awesome! I can't comment too much yet, since I haven't seen it (idiotically I don't have PubClub yet, and such can't watch it on my iPhone), but I can't wait until I get home!

Or reusing that same wrong screwdriver for the 10th, who still doesn't use that model. (I've only watched the first few seasons of the new series... just got into it, really.)

[Metcarfre]

My only problem is that the Blackhawks line was changed to 'sl*ts', a word I would have preferred not to use. However, it's LRR's call.

The 'Sexterminate!" line, however, was also not mine, but I think we can all agree it's a keeper!

[Lumar]

Great episode, but how many times can you really use the sonic screwdriver line before it get's old... and a Dalek, what about The Master or Jack?

[LogicSword]

Oh man... The Doctor Who bits...

Good work, Metcarfre.

[Graham]

Matt figured that since he'd already used "bitches" earlier, it would be good to switch it up. Also, monosyllabic words worked better there for some reasons.
For what it's worth, I don't think "slut" is a worse word than "bitch".

Sorry. That was my change, because the one-syllable insult was much punchier, and flowed better than the two-syllable one scripted.

I would also have preferred not to use it, but I was on the spot, and I literally could not think of another word to use that wasn't worse.

[Metcarfre]

To be fair, I agree it works comedically and timing-wise, better. And it's entirely MY OWN opinion about the word. It's a change that works and was totally fine with you guys making. Just makes me a bit leery of sharing it with my mom...

I don't have that many qualms about insults to the Blackhawks anyways, so...

No need to apologize, at all, guys. We cool.

[Elomin Sha]

Firstly :Very nice Met, it gave me a very good chuckle.

Secondly: Whooo, all the props I gave LRR have ended up in a video. This time the Wii-mote Sonic Screwdriver.

Yeah that sonic was only the 11'ths, didnt even have it till the end of his first episode cause the old one was destroyed. but hey sometimes you work with what you got.

btw i claim no innocence in this, but wow the escapist thread for this video is quickly becomming a bunch of alternate doctor innuendos

[Geoff_B]

Don't you get a credit for "prop-wrangler" or something for that?

[Elomin Sha]

Nah, I had it for the mask.

[AlexanderDitto]

Excellent job on the script, Met. Well written and well acted by Paul and Matt. Hooray!

Hey! That's my kind of geek!

I was going to say, Matt's character was basically you. XD Also looked a little bit like you. :B Just substitute girlfriend with boyfriend.
