it had to be done...
As old and passe as this joke is, it would have to be Jer in the Muscle Santa suit running on to do that. And I probably would have laughed pretty hard.
Also, yes I agree that the original RapidFire series was the backlog due to LRL. However, if you listen to the podcasts for the RapidFire episodes, they say that they enjoy doing the RapidFire bits, because they can film a bunch of little visual gags, Riley/Rodriguez bits, and interstitials in one day, and Graham can edit them into more than one video over a period of time, and that saves them the time to shoot a running gag (the visual lead up to the really bad joke like S1E1, and the "It's a bird" in this one) and edit it in time to get it uploaded for instant gratification.
But because the forums have loved the Rapidfire series so much, our constant fanboy squealing must have coerced them into doing more.
But yeah, backlogs are good.
PS: if they ever did the Riley/Rodriguez slash as part of Rapidfire, I'm pretty sure I would die happy.

To give you an idea of how long ago we shot these, I have prolly lost another 10 pounds since then. I honestly think we shot those scenes like 2 or 3 months ago now.

Weeeeeee! A new rapidfire. Overall, this was better than the first ones, although for me, I still liked the first "I slept kinda funny" joke the best. Still, this one was great to see the Dark Overlord again.
I think people got a bit confused on the campaigners because of the camerawork there. Given I had never seen you use a crane, I was expecting something big. It wasn't until the second Morgan speech that I figured out it was an intro gag. So, I'd say the camerawork was a success given how noticable it was. Thus we expect more epic filming in the future!
Good job though.
Can't wait for more.

Funny:
3 of 4 it's a bird it's a plane - any three (remember the comedic rule of 3s!)
Coffee shop
Pickup line
"solid gold yacht. BYOB."
Not funny at all:
Two guys with hats (is this leading up to something? If so it had better be an amazing payoff to justify the dead spot in the middle of the video)
B boys
Detective and Rodriguez, sad to say. Kinda funny the first time of the first rapidfire, but never after that - a joke that doesn't grow in funny for me, but rather shrinks. Nice camera move at the beginning!
Tshirt ad was very funny. You guys do a great job of thinking of hundreds of different angles by which to sell them, and in the process making a great demo reel to ad agencies.

My Swedish Chef addon was making problems.
Also: Liebowitz? Any relation to Herschel Liebowitz from Eyewitness Accounts?
Consider this signature a museum piece, since I love it and am unlikely to change it ever.

I think I laughed harder at that lil bit than at anything else in the video. Its the little things in life...

I'm gone for two weeks & you guys have to go & get MORE AWESOME!
What's really funny is that on the plane home yesterday I was wondering if LRR would ever do another Rapidfire & what it would be like. Imagine my spit take when I finally got back.
Edit:
Hmmmm. The return of Rapidfire... Do I smell a Loading Ready Live 2 coming on?
