Callbacks? Meta storytelling? Sam Rami? Excellent!

Probably my two favourites have to be Graham running into the car and popping back up with a neck brace and also Graham just snatching money from his dad's wallet.

The Escapist forum thread has some very fast people. They could rival AlexanderDitto. *glances at my current avatar, immediately bursts into laughter* It's just... It's just so perfect. All it needs is a flashing "DO NOT WANT". Oh god, there are tears, you guys. I love Monday nights..

Also, the street performer part lacked Carmelldansen. There should always be Carmelldansen! D:

Good to see Graham's dad again, too! And Insurance Fraud immediately made me think of Saints Row, some of those cars stop way too early, so Graham's reaction was top notch.

EDIT: Honestly can't wait for the Loading Time of this one! The drawing on Paul.. The reaction to Khaavren.. Probably good there was no spoken audio, would have been much lol. Both Khaavren and Graham's dad should have their own credits.

Credits issue: I don't recall seeing Graham's dad credited. Was this by choice or accident?

Meta-video blew my mind. This is now my favorite X Ways to Y ever.

I'm sure the answer to this is yes, but were you aware that there are a bunch of students who have set up a company to pay their way through uni that literally involves companies advertising on their faces? It works too; after paying off student loans, they're usually a few grand up apiece by the end of the year, if my memory serves me correctly.

Agreed. This is my favourite X2Y for some time, and Graham's physical acting was particularly good.

So I drove past that bank last week and there were cop cars,and the whole place was taped off. I guess now I know why.

My first thought was also Saints Row. I know Graham is a huge fan, so I'm sure that part was his idea. Insurance Fraud is one of my favorite parts of Saints Row, so much fun!

I'd love to see a Loading Time on how they pulled off filming a bloke with a ski mask in front of a bank.

Would have been funny if he got really ragdoll-y.

I'm sure in post Graham could have added himself rag-dolling 30 feet into the air and landing on the hood of another car, then flying off in another direction. Then getting up like nothing happend cause thats how these things happen right?

Well, they weren't at the VEC roof for this part.. But you could probably make it to there with Saints Row PhysicsTM. Also pain. Very pain.

I bet Kate loves these videos since she doesn't have to operate a boom.

Also since the film is always repeating does this mean that James has an infinite source of money?

The sheer amount of meta just blew my mind. He's.. Always starting his own video.. It's LRRception. It's... Genius.

He's just missing a malignant ex-wife to chase him around trying to steal his money.

I cannot wait to gif the SHIT out of this video.

This was hilarious. Every single one had me laughing. Khaavren's reaction to the post-it was amazing. And Graham popping up with that neck brace... and Kathleen's dancing... I can't even deal. So good.

So good! Got more laughs from me than most X ways to Y, which I do usually enjoy. The "Wanted" poster and the ridiculous portrait, the "stop dancing" cup, the amazing and gif-tastic Khaavren and OF COURSE the insurance fraud. Really upping the physical comedy and just silly gestures here. Win!

Every single time. Literally every single time I look at my avatar.. I cannot stop watching. Watching, and giggling like I'm insane. It's the best.

Finally got around to making an account. Hi people. Made and posted these gifs on the escapist, so moving them over here basically. And I'm glad there's avatars of the kitty already. :)
