I SAW What You Did There

Man that was great, better than most of the Saw movies actually.

The Small Time videos were always some of my favorites from the site, glad to see 'em get a return.

"Gun Works!"

Brilliant.

Hmm I found it to be funny but not hilarious, chuckle-worthy but not laugh out lout. But it still was a good one though whenever Bill and Morgan play the Small Time guys the acting seems to be to forced and not natural, you guys need to learn to act like idiots better :wink:

Yes! YES!! Small Time is back. Bill & Morgan from this series are definitely my favourite LRR characters.

I can see why you didn't call it Small Time this time since they're not really pulling a job. That just made the surprise all the better. I just about freaked when I heard the first few notes of their theme music.

Having not seen the Saw films there was some extra weirdness in this one. The puppet, the "dead" guy in the bathroom, the key, etc. Why were they supposed to kill each other anyway? If this was in the movie you'd think the people would work together to escape & nail the guy that kidnapped them.

I recommend everyone completely shut off their cell phones while filming, as opposed to just silencing the ringers. Just before the scene cuts to Bill & Morgan being thrown up against the fence at the end you can clearly hear that wonky interference. Dit didit-didididit dit didit...

i'm honestly surprised how many people haven't seen at least saw 1. not that it's worth seeing now, but the concept (definitely not the film - major plot holes, anyone?) was decent when it came out.
this was great. the camaraderie and timing between morgan and bill is absolutely spot on.

Horray for the triumphant return of Small Time!
Never seen Saw myself, but I enjoyed this.

On a late, tangentially related note: I recently noticed that the PSP version of Parappa The Rapper includes, as a free in-game download, a version of Chop Chop Master Onion's rap backed by the Small Time theme. A little odd, hearing that exact same tune in such a different context. I suppose it's just a bit of prefab royalty-free music, so it really shouldn't have surprised me. Still, it'll always be associated with Small Time in my mind.

I was just thinking the other day "Wow, with Bill back, they can do Small Time again!"
...Not sure what exactly I was expecting you to do with the characters, though...

LOVE Small Time!!

I haven't seen the Saw movies either, so I also think I missed some of the funny.

I sooo want timbits now. That last line was great

And now, with the return of Small Time, I can keep my hope that Jangles and Jones will one day return to us as well

So long as the definition of "good" is broad enough.

I thought it was America's job to show the world that stupidity can solve any problem. Darn you clever Canadians.

I don't have any interest in torture porn. I'm happy with normal porn.

I did see a short clip on-line though from -Saw- I believe. A character was trying to reach a phone just out of his reach. He was wearing a shirt. If he had taken off the shirt and used it to drag the phone towards himself, the movie would have been over. Logical gaps like that bug me.

Does anyone remember the dog figurine from Geometry Wars, Return of The Bill, and Emergency Situation?

It's sitting atop the urinal behind Morgan.

Also, I think he did eventually use his shirt.

Ou est le fauxhawk? Has it been written out of the Small time canon now?

i like how its making fun of how ridiculous the traps in saw are lol

I suddenly feel very alone, being someone who actually enjoys the Saw series, and has never seen a "Small Time" video. Still, this is one of the better parodies out there. I wonder what kind of traps you could think up for the LRR continuity...

"The antidote to the poison that is running through your veins is located inside one of these timbits. However, you must choose carefully, for the other timbits all contain marmite."

It's marmite, right? I can never remember the names of supposedly horrible tasting food products. Except Nutella.

Good times, good times...

So, is it just me or does James seem to have a slight speech impediment when he's ordering everyone out of his house?

squilliam666 · Postby **squilliam666** » 28 Oct 2008, 10:13

Oh, man. i just went and watched it again, (as i usually do) and noticed that at 00:25 when Morgan Says "you gave him your gun while you counted the money" His vocal inflections, mannerisms, and the look on his face make him look exactly like Michael Showalter.

Freaggin' Epic.

Edit

just a thought, maybe it should be
"phreaggin' epic"

...no, probably not...

Yeah, you hear it every once in a while. It could be that he has one and usually covers it up well. I have one to, and that's what I do.

No, James was just doing a funny voice and delivered some words oddly.

Oh, and he can't say "onion" properly. Apart from that, he's speech impediment free.

The first Saw film was good, it has a novel central idea, and given it's a horror film I inclined to ignore some plot holes. The rest of them are like, "well, you know what we explained in the last film? You actually believed that? You couldn't be less of a human being! This is what happened!". Also, I agree with Tetsubo about torture porn; Saw IV is the only film since audition I've had to look away. Apart from The Holiday that is, but that doesn't count.

I wonder how many takes of Bill crashing into Morgan you guys did? Oh, I almost forgot; go, Red Ranger!

I REMEMBERED to laugh, but I specifically didn't because it WASN'T FUNNY.

10 points for whoever knows where that's from.

There's a hint.

I just finished watching saw, and all i can say is. It certainly exists...
imo i would rather watch this parody repetidly until the time that I would have used watching the movie is exausted.

DmitriW · Postby **DmitriW** » 28 Oct 2008, 13:05

I think the last few weeks have spoiled me. This one just didn't thrill me like RapStar or Hustle did. It was fun and I enjoyed it, but...it's not in the same league, in my opinion.

That said, was Jigsaw talking through some sort of microwave oven?

Oh. Well, I thought it was kinda cute.
