What about Sexecutioner?Chrisos post=6.68205.623658 said:Sexellent - My new favourite word. That word alone qualifies this offering as genius.

I've also seen a few other episodes of De-Rez, but this, like the others (like Yahtzee's Biggest Fan, the Jack Thompson stints, etc) didn't tickle my fancy. Some observations for your leisure:
The "Baby Killer" installment was dumb and tasteless. I'm not sure if it was meant to be a parody, but it looked like a mutated hybrid of Grand Theft Auto (the gritty, pulse-paced controversy of the subject matter), NARC on PS2 (your 'heroin meter' to do some serious damage), and poorly edited scenes of a slasher film (the slow moving person in dark clothing walking to the slow moving guy with the baby doll). The effects were flashy, yes, but it's so transparent and it did nothing to warrant a gasp or chuckle (from me, anyway)
The "Voice Man" installment had an interesting name and premise (reminds me of a Mega Man Robot Master), but it degenerated into a samey, tripe vengeance story with a guy who wakes up with a scar on his throat with a different voice, and he goes around with a firearm killing 'mentally/physically disabled' zombies. Again, it didn't work, and the "S for Sexcellent" felt cheap and tacked on. But I have an idea for this:
I figured that you would've had a first-person perspective of the camera treading through a dark labyrinth (maybe an apartment, or hell, a church) manipulating the environment with only your voice. You could use your effects to trigger colorful 'noise circles' in which you could activate a door/lever, or it could be saying you need to retrack (camera turns around) to another portion of the place, where you encounter other embodiments of sound (again, with your effects) and fight them by screaming, cursing, or whatever. If you did something like that, and tried to infuse this aspect with humor, I'd probably laugh and crap my pants. Just a suggestion, in case you wish to revisit this concept.
Overall, eh...what can I say, I felt it was average. I've read some other comments here and it seems to be relative to British humor (like Simon Pegg...I watched Hot Fuzz and merely smiled at one or two scenes, but most of it flew over my head; yeah, I admit it, I understand British humor, but it doesn't make me 'LOLZ') The automated audience, however, delivered a tang of nostalgia, like watching a live-broadcasted show from the fifties and sixties, so I thought it was okay.
Best of luck on future installments.
