Show About Games Show: Nerds & Red Rings

[OniaPL]

The sit-com part I did not get. What was supposed to be funny in it? Does it parody other sitcoms?

And where were the achievements?

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

Are you guys by any chance Based OUT of Kitchener Waterloo? Cause my brother studies there (University of Waterloo)

 

[z3rostr1fe]

They better improve the writing, or it will catch the "Game Dogs" virus...

 

[comadorcrack]

Pillow quest = Funny.
The rest of this series = Not...

Sorry gave it a try, just not very... um... no. Sorry

Oh and by the bye.
RROD isn't funny anymore :/

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Game Dogs > This.

Disagree.

OT: This was good. Better than Gamedogs and with some funny scenarios. I actually laughed.

I have the same Zelda shirt as the guy from the Gamer Gang. Speaking of that guy, his audio was lower quality than everyone else's. Just saying.

And I didn't think it was all that funny. Especially the red-ring of death thing. That's not historical and anyway, most of the crap they "investigate" on those shows is clearly stupid and unsupported by real science. RRoD is real and lots of us have experienced it first hand. The portrayal of the "real-life story" girl as a weirdo were-wolf conservationist makes it stand out as inappropriate even more. I'm not criticizing it for not faithfully recreating the source material, I'm just saying that using RRoD in this context creates a weird disconnect from the parody. In other words, it just didn't make sense. So... not funny.

Pillow Quest was probably the best, but I was underwhelmed nonetheless.

 

[FlitterFilms]

It does feel a little like they used up all their good ideas in the pilot/competition video, as at the end of the day the second episode wasn't as good and this third one was worst again. Having said that I'm not going to simply give up on the series entirely, it's obvious they're capable of better. Anyone can have an off day.

 

[latenightapplepie]

I'm liking this. Less weird than last week and more funny. Good job.

 

[masticina]

Obviously the Pillow was chosen, The Pillow always was the chosen one!
It always is the Pillow.. Oh and to think Pillow has the common decency to act a bit normal. NOOOOO! So you are at the bar with Pillow..guess who gets the ladies PILLOW!

Pillow doesn't even have to try! And now pillow gets a freaking own video game..

What is left for us?

 

[Vash108]

had to laugh at the werewolf awareness too

 

[RadiusXd]

only laughed at pillow quest, also i kind of smirked when the dude said i could get red ringed.
no i cant, i use computer. (evil smirk)

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

Enough with the hate. This isn't bad at all. Reminiscent of Robot Chicken in the switching between skits. Still, if I'm honest, RROD was the best bit this week.

Also: Kitchener-Waterloo? Wow. Coolest thing to come from there since my wife and Steph Dilts.

 

[Jursa]

Meh... Wasn't one bit funny for me

 

[kaieth]

Game Dogs > This.

Yes. Even that was less painful than this.

 

[Yankeedoodles]

Jeez, the amount of people and effort going into this is insane for an internet comedy sketch show. I thought a lot of it was pretty funny and I'm sure the show will improve.

 

[White_Hawk]

the only funny parts were when the pillow quest part was played.

 

[BlackHazard]

Bleh barely smirked.

 

[Prince Regent]

I'm liking this show more and more, I'm a big fan of the comedy of the absurd.

And my advice would be to push the absurdity even further.

 

[Deity1986]

If that beginning bit to the red ring sketch was a piss take of Fringe - it was awesome. The show is definitely getting better.

 

[Eikoandmog]

I just caught the Tron shirt for the guy who missed being a part of Pillow Quest. Nice touch.
