Superb job this week guys. Really haven't laughed this hard at a skit in a long time, nearly fell out of the chair. It had that hint of British while still remaining distinctly LRRian I suppose. Really enjoyed it. Bravo to Tally and Graham, you play well off each other.

I liked this one.

It had a sort of British Humor, almost Monty Python feel to it. Only without the shouting and silly outfits.

Also what kinda of jam is on the knife?

Ah, good times, good times. That reminds me of the time I ki . . . er, um, yeah. Awkward.

I love that the twist creates more questions. Plus, I was also totally expecting an "I guess I'm gonna have to kill you now" line. Good laughs, all throughout. :thumbs up:

And once again, Paul plays a corpse. Hooray for running gags!

I'd KILL to be able to play the part of a corpse that well!... though, it'd probably mean the one I'd have to kill would be myself. You've gotta make sacrifices for your career I guess.

The T-shirt adds just get more and more hilarious. It's almost like I'm watching these for just the t-shirt adds these days.

Also, the video was pretty funny.

I absolutely loved this one, but I wasn't sold on the end - Tally's "Oh" didn't work for me. I expected her to either go "Oh!" and race after the killer, or to go "Oh", and then say something like "I should check on my mother" or "I hope the kids aren't fighting" or something.

Great job! Easily one of my favorite videos this season. Only one real complaint, though. The dialogue seemed to get bogged down just a little bit towards the end. I had the briefest flash of "ok, I get it... awkward" and then the plot changed directions. If it was intentional it was pretty well played, but still it slowed the pacing down a little.

Can't wait for cH next week! *bounces up and down*

A good video, but I can't help seeing it as a sort of "Crime and Punishment 2". Not that that's a bad thing, it's just something I can't get out of my head. Maybe it's just the fact that Paul ends up a dead guy in both.

That definitely jumped out at me as quite a British way of saying it, somewhat Louis Theroux actually.

And it's definitely in a somewhat similar vein to Crime & Punishment, where there's something ostensibly horrifying that the characters are being completely blasé about.

Paul does seem to be the stock dead-guy for LRR, maybe if they need a stock corpse around mid-September I'll stand in for him out of courtesy.

With the beard, the hood, and the short fringe, Graham does make a scarily convincing knife-wielding hoodlum.

For the newbs: Paul always plays the dead body, mainly because if there is any lifting of said body, he is the lightest. Even his mom knows this.

I think that the video was so great, and I really enjoyed it. Tally's character at the end, to me, had the look of "Oh CRAP... I need to put the groceries away before the ice cream melts."

The basic idea is simply brilliant, even though the joke started to turn little sour towards the end.

It did, in fact, seem to have a connection to the universe of Crime and Punishment. Watching the video in that light gives a nice boost to it.

My thoughts exactly. I jumped to Crime and Punishment as soon as the police were mentioned. And Graham's "I did, a bit" was definitely my favorite line. Good camera movement too, especially at the beginning.

Yeah, it's definitely in the same sort of universe as C&P, maybe it's a localised country (Possibly the more moral officer of C&P is an expat).

Hmm...I shall call it "West Killzonia".

East Killzonia is nicer and more peaceful but that's mostly because of the much lower population. Those folks are pretty friendly but boy will they ever stab you in the back in the grocery line!

The government of West Killzonia instituted a limit on the number of people a given citizen can murder in a given monthly period, in order to reduce the persistent damage to the economy and manpower of the nation, clearly Ken passed significantly over this limit in his one night of murdering.

This actually sounds like something LRR would do :P

Also, Tally's line of "It is gaaaaaalling to say the least" seemed very brit to me.
