de-rez: Yahtzee's Biggest Fan

[LoganAsh]

Glad to have you back, de-rez! I was a bit concerned when the entire first minute was you watching ZP, but when you cut to Jungle Boogie, I busted out laughing. This was a consistently funny episode that took the piss out of a web comic that has been overdue for some criticism.

Too true, never seen De-Rez, but that's convinced me to watch again. Thought it was actually quite well timed, despite popular criticism, especially the part waiting for the explosion. The acting wasn't great, but then again you're not actors, so I think to expect superb performance is a little unfair.

It all just needs tightening up from what I've seen, perhaps using better lighting, cam angles etc. to make it look a little more proffessional!

Where can I find that song he plays during the "sandpaper condom" scene?

Well, I guess it's time now for Yahtzee to review de-rez...

He did a while ago when they first parodied him:

Oh yes, and those guys at the 'other' Escapist video series, De-Rez, have made a quaint little video in which I fall victim of parody. Ha, ha, ha, those crazy guys. I take their jabs with good humour and sincerely hope they don't inhale any Drano anytime soon.

In all seriousness you should check out De-Rez's videos, they're pretty funny when they're not desperately beating jokes into the ground like they're trying to drill for oil OH SNAP YOU JUST GOT SCHOOLED MOTHERFUCKERS

No, really, those guys are cool.

Anyway, I think a few people are taking this to heart. If you watch any of DeRez, you can see it's just their humour. Noone's actually having a go at anyone.

I assume everyone forgot that this is directed to the yahtzee fanbase (the crazy ones) and not yahtzee himself.

Oh.. my sweet hat. The best thing about this episode was the part about CAD, now that was funny.

 

[VeryOblivious]

... but your humour is somewhere cold, dark, and covered in spiders.

I don't think his humor is the one covered in spiders.

Monty Python Meaning of life. That's common knowledge.

Oh, yeah. Damn, I haven't seen that movie in a long time.

 

[irrelevantnugget]

right along with Video Game Theatre.

How dare they, ignorant people, bah!

 

[the_geordie]

Loved it.

If only we could have some original locations, professional lighting, professional sound, professional acting, etc. etc - ie. spend about about $100,000 per episode (joking of course!).

I'm amazed (still!) that de-rez consistently comes up with original subject ideas. Thats why I continue to be a de-rez fan.

 

[Badders]

Yea, I'll think u will find that more people are interested in watching Yahtzee simply because its funny for a start... the only people that found that funny were the people that hate him for the fact that he's more popular that De-Rez... which isn't funny by comparison.

taking the piss out of something or someone who is generally funny and more popular isn't usually a great idea... especially when the stuff u make isn't funny. The only funny video made by De-Rez was the World or Warcraft, which is about the only video i have been able to stomach until the end.

The Unforgotten Realms Videos are pretty good and funny as well, so perhaps u can take the piss out of them next?

 

[nutmeggles]

I have the same problem with this de-rez episode as I do with the others I've seen. They have interesting and funny ideas but the execution fails to deliver. However, I hold out hope. That's kind of how I feel about Unforgotten Realms. I loved the first episode but then the joke got old and tedious.

I think Video Game Theater is amusing. Apparently, I'm a mutant freak.

No. You lie!

My favourite would most likely be the Jack Thomson Uwe Boll cross over.

It seems a lot of people are sticking up for Yahzee. They're the exact people DeRez are parodying here. The irony is beautiful.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

So, am I going to be killed for liking de-rez?

 

[RK1964]

I liked watching this even though the guys don't know much of anything about making a video. Actually, I think that's what made me enjoy it. But I have to admit that I fast forwarded at times.

 

[DGKT93]

no my sweet hat!
lol liked this one!

 

[L.B. Jeffries]

Well, I guess it's time now for Yahtzee to review de-rez...

And so it begins...

 

[zirnitra]

great video, the intro gave me an idea of what I must look like...

you guys must have such a laugh filming these!

Chris is a pretty good actor for the most part, but of all his collegues only the guy who played Jack Thompson has done any good so far : /

A little editing to bring up the pace would probably help. Most of the jokes were good, but were made awkward by the co-actor being "rather unconvincing" : P

Definitely agree. It's difficult to get really into a scene when the acting is poor.

Just for you Chris
