Short and sweet, and Python-ly bizarre, to boot! Great vid, guys! :D

You could do like Mike Godwin did and just simply deliberately generate a meme (which Godwin's Law actually was - an exercise in memes; I'm willing to bet Mr. G had a bet with someone that "I can start a phrase that becomes a meme." How meta...)

I'd almost bet realistic-looking play money you can't say that again, this time without giggling.

I especially enjoy dark humor, being a fan of the "Ichi The Killer" series and "Fight Club". It's nice to see variety in style, keep up the good work guys! :D

Wow, some of you talk like you live in a world where cold-hearted brutal unprovoked murder is a CRIME! Sheesh. Or...*looks around*

Yeah, it can't be. Otherwise, I wouldn't have that killing room in the basement. Silly me and my near-doubts.

In other news, I already prepared a to-kill list...I like to be prepared

+1 to Inspector Gadget's Doobee. GO GO GADGET HOOKER KILLING DEVICE!

My suggestion would be to have the camera IN the washer (no one would expect that) or while Graham was pulling out something very...noticeable (like those panties from that Christmas once upon a time)

I also think the soiled panties gag has kinda passed it's reference-by date, among other things.

Exactly! No one would see it coming. Those that do get an inside joke (also emphasizing the time it's been since then), and those that don't get a random and mildly disturbing scene! Everybody wins!...I think...?

Sorry, reflex. I feel compelled to Justinfy (pardon the pun and also tm) any argument of mine that is debated (and any subsequent Justinfication (also tm) of that initial argument). It's the lawyer heritage, I tell ya!

In other news, great range of emotion from Paul. He really looked deadpan at first followed by the evil person in contempt for "love is sacred" hippies.

Your movement is strong, you say? I must do something about that...

You know Paul, I really had a huge satisfaction when Graham pulled the trigger and shot you in the face. :)
Sorry, this is no offense - on the contrary: You played your role too good, almost. ;)
And without your beard, the suit and so on, you really looked like some brutal serial killer - one of the "Wow, I would never expect this from that one"-type. But more important - you played it very well. The arrogant attitude when you offered Graham to arrest you - the expression on your face. wow. Heavy. :)

It definitely isn't, but that's not where the jokes are.
Having said that, Paul initially wrote it the way we shot it, but during writing changed it to "killing my neighbour" to avoid "the hooker issue". But it wasn't as funny.

His crime needed to be more shocking to make his nonchalance about the whole thing work.


But not so shocking as say killing your wife, teenage daughter or mother? 'Cause that could have worked, too.

However, there is just so much of a cliche surrounding the killing of hookers, which makes it more appropriate for this video.

Personally I think the serial killing of prostitutes links Paul closer to Jack the Ripper (Though Jack famously stabbed and gutted his victims, rather than strangling them bare-handed), which is what gives it the "shock" value for me. Not that it really was shocking, but it was a great addition to the storyline.

Just read the blog post for the video. Seriously Tim, can't you tie your own tie?? It's SO simple.

Lay the tie around your nek, wide end longest (Depending on the size of you neck the short end would be about 10 inches). Cross them with the wide end in front. All the next moves are done with the long wide end.
Around the back of both ends, then stick it from the front to the back between the 2 parts. Circle it around the front (loosely) go around the back and out to the front between the 2 parts again. Then stick it through the loop you just made around the front. Pull tight and that's it.

(TLDR: Cross in front, round the back, in between to the back, round the front, in between to the front, through the loop)


What really did it for me in this video was pauls delivery of the lines "Well if you must now. I strangled here with my bare hands, so I could watch the life fade from her eyes as she saw her inevitable doom. NOW, as I was saying". That cracked me up.

I never wear ties. I've tied them for myself a few times, after watching some how-tos on YouTube. It's a strange process, though.

I learned how in Cub Scouts. It was one of the requirements for advancement into some sort. I wear a tie maybe once a year & the lesson has served me well since.

I almost made it through Cub Scouts (like two achievements away from the Arrow of Light), but I never had to learn to tie a tie. It wasn't until I was a teenager awkwardly going to dances that I learned.

I then, many years later, began working at a men's clothing store, so i had to use my tie tying skills in both the visual store setup as well as helping men get the right tie to go with the shirt and suit. I got really good at it too.

However, all my bowties are clip on. Never learned to tie a bowtie.

I learned how to tie a tie in Air Cadets, and promptly forgot after I quit. Now I generally have to look it up every time I need to do it, although I'm starting to remember again since I have to do it more now, so there's maybe a 50% chance I'll be able to tie a tie at any given time.
