Long time since the last X2Y, was awesomesauce! The dance fight needed better choreography in my humble opinion. Heheh.

No, he always does that.
Interlacing is a formatting thing for playing video on TV. It's what causes that "combing" when played in a digital format whenever there's movement.
It bothers me, as it will now bother you when you look for it.

I always enjoy the really strange X2Y's. The weirder it gets the better IMHO, and this one was absolutely great. The end was a really nice touch.

Did Mel/Pious just announce that he's leaving us?

Also, I liked the vid. Matt turning down Ash for alcohol does lean towards him having a problem though.

Sorry, that's completely my bad.
There's someone (I thought it was you) who every time I forgot to de-interlace a video pointed it out just by saying "Interlaced?" with no other text.

Apologies. Anyway, I explain it further up on this page.

I spent most of the first part of the video thinking "who is playing the cop? Paul? Why isn't it James? I guess they wanted a wackier, less realistic cop?"

Let me just say that the payoff was perfect. It worked on so many levels. I think James is my favorite LRR straight man.

On the other hand, I got this video. And found it hi-larious. Great stuff!

Am currently in fanboy mode & unable to give constructive criticism at this time. Will return later with more useful input. That said....

Wow! Easily one of my favourite X Ways to Y videos. Lots of laughs, difficult to predict, seemed longer than usual & all the better for it.

Thusly, I accept & pay my "Laughing at online video with due care and attention" fine with appropriate fanfare.

That was really good. It's been to long since an excellent X2Y and that was it.
Also two "woo!"'s
Woo! to bad-ass Matt
and Woo! to Evo. As if there are other clubs.

Bye, Mel.

I really enjoyed this video. The cop tradeoff at the end made me giggle, with just the perfect little nod there. Nice work.

The room at the end of the Sam Raimi Corridor seemed to contain a lot of plywood. Is this an extension of the World Orbiting Underground Bunker in construction?

Very funny video, a lot of great unexpected comedy.

Plus the fact that James rocked the ending makes it even more awesome.

I'm confused. If Mel's not a fan of LRR's supposed "new direction" and all that, why would a return to a classic staple of LRRdom, X Ways To Y, be the final straw?

X2Y its been so long. I thought it was awesome and the ending with James giving Paul a ticket for impersonating and officer was great. Though the Sam Raimi was a little lacking only going down a corridor for no reason... but other wise I really liked the video.

Also bye Mel sorry to see you go.

I laughed a lot, especially on the "Gettin dun told without insurance" and "failure to provide Oh Snap!" was genius

Justifiable Party Foul, I thought it'd be something like "failure to choose bros over hos"

I missed the Sam Raimi

This was a great video guys! It's good to see so many of you on one video :3

- Excellent shirt ad. Very reminiscent of the quick montages in "Stuck in a Car with Your Friends" I especially liked Graham's cocking of the Nerf gun & bounding off to adventure.
- Was this video inspired by the unfortunate events of Matt & Graham's evening a couple weeks ago?
-Paul looks great impersonating a cop.
-Replacing usual bell sound effect with *SMACK* for tickets was a nice touch.
-Nice selection of outdoor locations.
-Oh dayum. Who's red convertible? Or did you continue with the proud tradition of guerrilla film making & just use what was available at the location?
-Officer Rodriguez was a pleasant surprise, & a good twist at the end.
-Odd that this video is getting He-Man links in the ads afterward. And pirate bedding.

Of course, there were a few unlawful activities that must be addressed.

*FINE - Unlawful removal of category title: X Ways to Y
*FINE - Inadequate light levels for filming of dun telling.
*FINE - Unconvincing dance fight.
*FINE - Failure to vroom red convertible.
*FINE - Inadequate "Extreme" Sam Raimi.

Fines reduced for good behavior.
Sentence: LRR Community service. Produce weekly funny videos for another season.

Excellent video!

Kathleen looked great. And it is always nice to see Ash.

Does Morgan have any hobby other than pelvic thrusting?

I thought Paul fit the bill for the "little tin martinet" look.

My first thought when the video started was, "Why is Graham naked?"

I have to get one of those Nerf pistols for myself. A little paint and they would capture the "steampunk" look perfectly.
