For some unknown reason, the test had a lot of D answers on it.

Unless Opposite Day meant that there were actually very few D answers.

Man, I'm confused...

Great vid.

What's with the new player? It's looks nice.

I watched it earlier on the old one and then come back and I'm like...woah.
Heh? Meh.

Also, the video was awesome. With a capital "Awe".

In fact, I'd say it was Awe32!

Just wait till James posts the behind-the-scenes pix, so you can see what the dolly actually was.

Sorry guys.

I also think we need more videos with Graham's Commodore 64 in it.


Yes, and yes.

Also, this video has gotten a little predictable. I knew there was going to be a sudden twist, and I was right. (And it wasn't a fun twist either.) Fulfilled expectations - interesting way of fulfilling those expectations = humor FAIL. (But I love you people anyways!)

Props for the scenery, though.

Wow another great video guys. I just wish that some of my teachers were actually kidding like that sometimes. Especially My AP Chem, and Pre-Cal teachers were they are always in a bad mood after a test day.

Not my favorite, but a good video none the less. I think the part I liked best was how the students were reacting (or not). They just seemed so bored to be there, and I felt for them.

Loved the slow pans and zooms Graham!

Matt, that is an awesome hat.

Jeez Paul how long'd that take you to memorize?

All hail Sven, love child of Archimedes, Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking.

I am curious what "shoe" meant though. Hopefully someone explains or makes something up in the podcast.

Nice video guys. But why a dutch exchange student. (I suspect most student here in the netherlands speak better english than american or canadian students speak dutch :P )

PS: Are we going to see more phailhaus in the future?

PPS: Shoe does not really translate to any dutch meaning whatsoever. Sjoelen is an old game, but it's pronounced with a very clear L. Shoe is also an old dutch term/sound for chasing someone away. (Almost litterly Shoeing someone away)

Next time you want to make fun of the dutch send me a PM and I'll be more than happy to provide something more meaningfull if you tell me what you're looking for :) )

Too stringy. I prefer lizards.

Also, note my restraint in NOT making an "eating pussy" joke.

wow, a man who can spot something crocheted! thats impressive... whoever made that had should totally post the pattern because its pretty much amazing...


Of course I can! I both knit AND crochet, though I daresay not as much as I wish I did.

Even if Paul was reading lines off the papers in front of him, he presented his lines smoothly and without hesitation, so I'm guessing he had them mostly memorized anyway. Extremely boring one man play indeed.

Of course, not my favorite video, but it was definitely good for several luls. James throwing the book at the end... fantastic.

Also, Ash's hair looks adorable like that, pulled to the sides.

There was some beautiful camera work in this video, as well as very disciplined acting from the crew (especially Paul).

It was also nice to see some familiar yet uncommon faces again.

Was the actual script in Paul's pile of papers on the desk somewhere?
There are things in this world that I dislike. One of the things I dislike the most is a serious argument, well constructed, delivered by someone who makes themselves difficult to respect.

Not your best, but the stats, (especially the boating accident) was good.

Reminded me of a Law lecturer that we had (thankfully only 2 lectures, since I'm an engineer), though, since he.. would.. speak with.. pauses..

In all seriousness, can we see pictures of you two? Cuz this is news to me. I think your girlfriend needs to be introduced to the forums.

Some things I noticed the second time
1) Paul speaks so much better than my old lawl lecturer
2) That circular pan rocks
3) Nice use of the chatter at the start - where was it filmed, and who are those people? (when Paul is walking around the at the start)
4) Paul's outfit is AWESOME
5) The smiley test looks best on the Blog (still need to squint to see it properly)
6) The close up of "scared Matt" looks hilarious

I just spent 10 minutes on IMDB trying different ways of spelling 'Ian Mckellen" to figure out who the hell Ian Mckellen was.

I eventually got it, and promptly facepalmed. >_<
