LoadingReadyRun: The Bee Team

[giant enemy spycrab]

While I was watching this, i was thinking that it would very slowly turn into some kind of TF2 joke. Cam, obviously, is the spy, Tallie, with her supervisor helmet, would be the engineer, and Kate, with headphones, would be the scout. I was slightly disappointed by the end.

The way Graham acted at the end of the video is basically how I acted when I visited the LRR booth in Calgary. - Sad face for awkward rambling

 

[Don Reba]

I find all these people not knowing who the guys from Pure Pwnage are hilarious. PP, in views and fans, was very much bigger than LRR is now back in its heyday.

This is to be expected. The overwhelming majority of people does not know about either LRR or PP. That the people here are unaware of PP only means that watching LRR does not make you very much more likely to watch PP.

Also, let me add... If you can't lift a single gross of bees, you are incredibly weak. So, unless that box was made out of lead, and not cardboard... And they deliver boxes without taping them shut? I know, nitpicking, but there are just so many juicy ones here.

It was not the weight of the box that prevented them from lifting it, but the crippling fear of bees. Also, Tally initially finds the box on top of the stairs. Someone must have carried it up there ? that person could have cut the tape. Come on, what else do you have?

If you look at the box, there is no tape on it, and no sign it was peeled off. Taking tape off cardboard always leaves marks. Especially the type of tape used to pack boxes for shipping. And they were just delivering the box- Why open it? It could be a sign to the receiver that someone tampered with their mail and/or stole something from the box. Oh, I know! The box contained stuffed bees! Someone stole them and substituted REAL bees. Time to sue the shipping company!

Alright, let's take a look at the box:

What do we see? We see cut tape. It must have been cut by the person who received the box, carried it upstairs, and phoned Tally at the beginning of the episode. Canada Post might have much to answer for, but this does not have to weight on its conscience.

As far as I can tell, the video is 100% realistic, with the exception of the effects of amplified base, which have indeed been busted.

I was all giddy at the "There must always be a Stark in the Moonbase" line, mostly because it was really unexpected.

And like someone said, that should be a t-shirt.

poor graham lol and that was pretty awesome!

 

[Extragorey]

My two favourite Canadian sketch comedy shows in one episode. My life is complete.
Awesome Pure Pwnage cameo!

I believe the Bees themselves are a reference to Bioshock.

They're a Spoiler Warning reference!

Hi, Mumbles.

Physics time!

A large number of bees are calmed by smoke, then placed in a cardboard box. Initially, all the bees are at rest (all standing on the bottom of the box). Then the bees wake up, and they all begin flying, while staying within the box. Does the box weigh more, less, or the same as it did before the bees woke up?

A truck carrying birds will be lighter if the birds fly around than if the birds sit/stand. [http://mythbustersresults.com/episode77]

busted

Adam and Jamie constructed a large box and placed it on top of scale and then filled it with captured pigeons. Then, the Mythbusters activated a special contraption that would force the pigeons to fly into the air, but they could not detect any discernible difference in the weight of the box. They then placed a model helicopter inside the box and had it hover above the ground, but this method also failed to produce any results. The Mythbusters theorized that the air being displaced by the birds? wings and the helicopter rotors was pressing down the box, which is why there was no change in the overall weight.

i cant help but Notice that At one point, when cam is about to light up a smoke, he looks like The Spy- for green team

 

[Lyri]

With all those Starks, would that make this "A Game of Bees"?

Surely it would be a "A Game of Hives"?

Funny episode and more Kate is never bad.
Creepy fanboy powers go!

 

[Tharwen]

So, Game of Thrones reference (There must always be a Stark in blahblahblah), Team Fortress 2 (Gentlemen?). If there are any others, I missed them...sorry.

I believe the Bees themselves are a reference to Bioshock.

Why? They're just bees...

I was thinking someone wanted to reference the bee hand...

But they're just bees! No-one mentioned any hands!

(Also, the plasmid in Bioshock makes wasps, not bees. Ha.)

Then why is the plasmid in a honey farm?

Dammit, you're right.

They're still just bees though.

 

[Don Reba]

So good. Every time I hear the intro this season, it does not sound quite right.

 

[Chasmodius]

My brother just had a kid named Calvin! To be clear, my brother is not Tim. And he claims not to have been thinking of Calvin and Hobbes, which I do not believe.

 

[Trisha Lynn]

So I know that smoking's bad for people and I am trying to quit, but I have to say that if I could hang out and have a cigarette/cigar/cigarillo with Cam and just shoot the breeze in a biergarten, that would be the best thing ever. Mmmm, pub.

 

[OneOfTheMichael's]

Hahaha love this. I was there at calgary expo and toke part in the 3 second scene at 0:33
Got to see the incomplete version of this before it was released and it's still funny as hell.

 

[Unoriginal069]

It's probably a stupid question, but who are those two guys with Graham at the end ?

Apparently, they had a television show called Pure Pwnage that aired in Canada. Had being the keyword. I've personally never heard of them, but would be absolutely ecstatic at LRR getting a TV show. :3

As a Canadian....yeahhh....still never heard of them.
I *have* heard of LRR tho.

....and i'm pretty sure these other guys haven't raised a gazillion dollars for charity either.

So......Chin Up Graham!
You guys are cool just as you are!



Awesome job as always!
