Nerds & Red Rings

Are you brave enough for a mighty quest? Do you fear the glowing red in the dark? Are you a nerd?

Meh. I didn't really laugh and only smirked when the pillow went instead of the guy...but the rest was sub-par. I want more amazing sets like the LBP part again. That was by far, your best.

 

[messy]

I laughed at the first two. The pillow quest and the over cliché sitcom but I felt that the red ring of death bit went on for much to long.

 

[Cpt Corallis]

I could listen to that pillow quest theme over and over.

Agreed, the pillow bit was ok, not great, but it would have been better filler if the rest of the show was in some way funny.
Red Ring of Death trauma has been done to death, and this wasn't even that well done as far as that goes.
The gamer gang just didn't work for me. I got you were parodying 'Big Bang Theory', but for whatever reason it just didn't work. It actually might have been better if played straight without the annoying laugh track. Maybe a longer version with better jabs at the show. It's ripe for a parody, but that bit just didn't do it justice, and fell short.

 

[LeeshaJoy]

Huzzah, someone besides me thinks that Big Bang Theory is a steaming pile!

 

[josemlopes]

Only the pillow was funny

 

[Armored Prayer]

That Black Ops/Pokemon Snap joke actually made me laugh.

Also I love the Pillow Quest song.

 

[Baby Tea]

Pillow Quest!
I love the theme song.
And holy crap on a cracker! You guys are in Canada? In Kitchener-Waterloo!?
Man, with LRR and you guys, Canada has internet comedy on LOCK-DOWN!
WOO! Maple syrup AND internet comedy! Time to be patriotic.

That documentary guy had an awesome voice, but he holds no candle to the mighty pillow Knight.

I would play the pillow quest game. "It's a quick time event hit b to continue to do nothing."

 

[leviadragon99]

I'm trying to give this series a chance, but at best it seems like a mixed bag...

 

[standokan]

It's the pillow quest, full of fluffyness

 

[Weaver]

Wait, this is filmed in Kitchener-Waterloo? It would be strange to see you guys on the streets lol.

 

[Tempest13]

Pillow Knight Song made this episode worth watching

 

[Timbydude]

Pillow Quest and the Big Bang parody were hilarious.

 

[AngelicSven]

The Pillow's theme was by far the high point. I'm sad cause the LBP set got me hopeful cause that was good but this was pretty bad.

 

[Ashoten]

I guess somebody doesn't like Big Bang theory. That was a parody fail however. I couldn't even tell what it was suppose to be making fun of till the end. This show feels like a cliff notes version of the different sketches. The set ups are too short to make the payoffs work.

Also for a parody to work it has to feel like you enjoy the source material on some level. Otherwise you come off sounding like Douchy MCnitpick from TGWTG.

Do enjoy how there is variant with all things. Still think it is a bit scatter shot, but seems to be improving. Though the scatter shot seems to appeal to most, would of preferred the more focus skits much like last week. If it keeps to this pattern of a more focus skit one week, then a more scatter shot the show would find its place. Since it would give something for everyone that way.
