I started smiling when the video started and I have not yet stopped. Way to be awesome Paul! (and everyone else involved of course)

The only reason I don't change my bedsheets more often is because I have a bad back and my bed is over a metre and a half above the floor.

This is unlikely to be the case at Uni in October though.

This was the best acting job I've seen from Paul in a long time. Great work! I was laughing sooo much. :lol:

Most Favorite: "Fake Christmas Eve"
Nicely Subtle: "Mental Stimulation" (because once Paul took the controller away, Jer fell asleep)
Sorta Confusing: But why would Paul be lying horizontally in bed if he doesn't want to fall asleep?

I was just thinking the other day how LRR hasn't done X ways to Y in a while. Sweet deal.

Great video as always guys.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that when I go see Drag Me To Hell, I get to see the glorius return of the big screen Sam Raimi haha.

You forgot: Join the LRR forums :D

Paul was great in this one. very funny :) Definetly liked the fake Christmas Eve.

However, none of these methods would have allowed me to make it through one of my uni courses without nodding off.

Also, I think now I will never go to this "TV tropes" page... sounds scary...

Maybe it had something to do with Matt rubbing his junk in Graham's stuff?

Its like rick rolling. Only more insidious.


Paul. Did you really put all that stuff on your bed? If not? Who let you do that to their bed?!


Sandman one was the best.

I loved this one, I was laughing a lot. And I often don't laugh out loud at videos. But then, I love Paul, so that probably helped. I was also really entertained by the t-shirt ad.

I can't think of specific things to comment on (except Graham's shirt and expression in the "outside assistance" bit), I just loved it all. And it was great to see another X ways to Y. I think this is one of my favourite videos. Great job guys! :D

thunderkatz wrote:Nice vid. You guys really seem to like that song (How to Impress Women, probably others I don't know about). What's it's name?

You mean the background music, right? That's become the official X ways to Y music, and it's used in nearly every one of those videos. I can allllmost remember the name off the top of my head...
Google tells me it's Frappe un Petit Battement, that sounds about right. I'm too lazy to work out which podcast that was originally mentioned in, though.

I'm surprised you guys didn't include watch every single video of LRR, and if trying to stay up for more than a night, have them order LRR dvds, then the anticipation will keep them up. I've done it. it works.

Uncouth is how we do things around here.

Also, the song name should have being on the wiki somewhere. If not, someone should put it there.
