LoadingReadyRun: Reduce Your Footprint

[Mr.Mattress]

That was pretty good. Nice job guys.

But I'd like to make the point once and for all: HEMP AND MARIJUANA, WHILE MADE FROM THE SAME PLANT, ARE NOT THE SAME THING! AND YOU CANNOT GET HIGH FROM HEMP! Just letting everyone know.

A+++ WOULD WATCH VIDEO AGAIN

Hey, you stole my rating from the LRRoums!

I was expecting some way to creatively disappear, say getting face punched into another dimension. Awesome satire.

 

[ZehGeek]

Oh my that was just awsome. The ending was JUST BEAUTIFUL, and Mat's character. Nice job guys.

True!
To be clear, we know that, the characters don't.
They clearly have other issues as well though.

 

[duchaked]

how about some more PhailHaus...or bring back Whatever!

but yeah oh my gosh hahaha another video about saving the environment totally what's in these days

 

[Jer_LRR]

To clarify even further: lots of things are made from hemp, including both Canadian and American currency (at least for now, as Canada is switching to polymer currency fairly shortly). The hemp plants used to produce the fiber for clothes, money, paper, etc. have been bred to have 1/1000th the THC content of "normal" cannabis. It's not about "using different parts of the plant", it's about using plants that are clearly not drugs. Our governments are not growing drugs to make money, as hilarious as that would be--as Graham says, the characters in this sketch are just morons.

Actually, Jer, a quick Google search tells me that US paper money is actually made from cotton fibre.

[Aenir]

Wow, that was hilarious. I think that may be my new favorite episode, at least from the ones on the Escapist. Everything was all-around awesome.

 

[wfpdk]

"is this gun powder made of hemp?" roflmao.

 

[Digikid]

Worth a chuckle. Keep them coming but funnier.

 

[Ghassan]

I love how you can tell who wrote the episode just by watching it.

 

[Silva]

Ah, the eternal ribbing of hippies continues.

I liked this video, I really did, but I can't help but feel a bit offended about how hippies are being treated here - metaphorically - as the "other".

Labelling in general doesn't help anything, and neither does the tribalism that surely follows it. The flower power movement was against all this, and only got stigmatised for that itself. A true shame.

 

[lonercs]

Why not carbon credited to off set the CO2 emission from one of there "secrets"?

 

[Mattteus]

oh Canada

was the restaurant line a call back to that one previous episode?

 

[I am Jack's profile]

That was so awsome...

** goes and watches again ***

Still awsome

If you guys continue making episodes on par with that... You'll be my new favorite show on the escapist

Reduce Your Footprint

Sometimes being green just isn't enough.

Watch Video

I gotta say, what's with all the eco-friendly themes the show has been putting out? Has someone been reading David Suzuki books again?

I was waiting for this question
This really wasn't planned. In fact, we spaced the videos out as far as we could to avoid the issue, despite them coming up for shooting very near to one another. Regardless, no, it's not something we're trying to "say".

I can see how parts of Green can seem preachy (not intentional) but this one is pure stupid, I assure you.

 

[Graham_LRR]

It is! Good catch!

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Haha I totally thought "I wonder if they're gonna make a joke about some random country; Greenland would be a perfect opportunity!"

LRR is psychic! *runs and hides*
