Show About Games Show: Nerds & Red Rings

[Trogdor1138]

Pillow Quest was the only thing I liked, the rest was crap. Sorry guys, you need to step up your material. Need to work on your structure and timing especially. I've noticed some of your sketches go on a little too long and overstay their welcome. Is the RRoD thing even worth joking about now?

I for one am willing to give this show a chance. Comedy can be hit and miss a lot more than people think. Some comedy groups spend years getting their shit together before they actually get stuff made and online and even then what is the use of it being good if no one watches it (www.wizardsandwiches.com). Limiting themselves to just Games narrows the scope significantly especially when you think about the wealth of web comics and established web comedians (LRR for example) that derive their comedy from a similar source. Who knows you may just stumble upon some more LBP gold.

Haters gotta Hate.

what was the joke in the gamer gang other than to rip on sitcoms for being over dramatic when that's their point, couldnt finish it because of how boring it was I've given this show several chances I'm personally done with it just like the strippers/pornstars play dnd show--not my appeal

 

[PrometheanFlame]

I'm sorry, this show really isn't funny at all.

 

[Alar]

Heheheh, Pillow Quest...

 

[ZeppMan217]

Meh.

Is it just me that noticed "Pillow Quest" looks like a blatant rip-off (or parody?) of "Good Knight's Quest"? Certainly looked like it until the pillow.

Big Bang Theory has its downsides, sure.. But there are some decent moments. Certainly better than that tripe, Two and A Half Men! D:

I, too, preferred the shorter, "Robot Chicken"-length skits from the pilot. Nothing too drawn out, especially that Red Ring skit.. Wow, that was just.. Disappoint. I'm not angry, just disappoint.

Moar LBP2 gold, plz.

LoadingReadyRun has full sketches down to an art form. Maybe Uberfriendship and LoadingReadyRun could do a collaboration project..?

"And so, Frederic P. Fluffington, that most magnificent of knights, became the greatest hero the world has ever known."
This show has me sold. Period.

I love this series. The pillow bit made my day. I also like the Red Ring skit. "They still glow among us" made me want to laugh and cry at the same time.

I don't think anyone who said the RRoD bit wasn't funny has ever seen Unsolved Mysteries, I thought it was pretty funny. The pillow quest was hilarious too. The show might not be quite as polished as some others, but I think you've got quite a lot of potential! Looking forward to next week's show!

I have seen "Unsolved Mysteries", but this wasn't even a fitting parody. The host guy was fine and all, but I could have sworn a line was screwed up in the middle there..

And the.. "Over-acting" in the black & white scenes were.. Yeah Given what I said above about TBBT, that parody wasn't bad. Although I really didn't see it as a parody until.. The last line, which is disappointing for a parody. The "Sheldon" was doing the role well though!

People loved this? Really?

Personally I thought this was pretty bad, which is a shame because the pilot was really good so not sure why the sudden fall in quality.

Its called a deadline. When you have all the time in the world to come up with some really funny stuff, you get really funny episodes, but when time becomes a factor the quality of jokes tend to suffer. I still applaud these guys because the Show About Games Show will get better. There will be more episodes like this one that are funny and have some good jokes in them, and then you will get some that will maybe have one really good laugh, and others that will be downright hysterical. Condemning a show after a couple episodes is ridiculous, just let them get their bearings. I see good things in this show's future.

That's no excuse at all. LoadingReadyRun has barely any time to scratch themselves. They have merch to ship, CrapShots, ENN, Unskippable, LRR videos, Daily Drop to edit.. Hell, Graham is an editing MACHINE. Yet they still write comedy gold week after week.

A rapid fire comedy sketch show that isn't funny. Well at least it's novel... I was trying my best to laugh at this but the most amusing thing was seeing how few comments this episode provoked compared to last week. They better seriously rethink who is writing this show before it gets canned.

LRR-related again, but totally check out "RapidFire" [http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/archive/all/date/desc?search=rapidfire] on their website.

Fast-paced sketches actually done well.

Game Dogs > This.

Hey, now. Let's not go around talking crazy here.

 

[mattttherman3]

Did I laugh? No, but then again, I only really laugh alot when drunk.

 

[KefkaCultist]

hehe the pillow quest skits had me laughing. To be honest, the RROD bit was "meh" not that funny and dragged on too long.

 

[Jackpot524]

Pillow quest was amusing... I like the song!

 

[Ancientgamer]

Cameraman in the mirror at 4:07. Just thought I'd point that out.

Pretty funny though.

 

[Zeema]

i really didn't like that episode sorry

I hate that sitcom style where you put in that Audience Laugh/cheer thing
i smirked at pillow quest but the guy seemed out of it
the whole red ring thing was just stupid

sorry its just how i felt

 

[JokerCrowe]

I lol'd at the RROD thing, mostly because the actors were actually pretty good. Also the pillow quest, I didn't really laugh out loud, but I thought it was pretty funny. The other stuff... meh. I didn't get the "sit-com" thing at all.

 

[Aftershock]

As many before me have agreed, the Pillow Quest was good, the rest was a little uninspired. As only the second episode, they still have time to get things together, so I'm still giving it a chance, but hopefully they'll get their groove on sooner rather than later.

Also: Does anyone else think they have some sound issues? Some characters' voices come across fine, while others seem too quiet/muffled, where I can't really understand what they say at the same volume level.

Gamer Gang: instantly better than Big Bang Theory (then again, watching a pile of shit gather flies is better than Big Bang Theory)
