Show About Games Show: Nerds & Red Rings

[Quiet Stranger]

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.

When was there a big bang parody? i guess they're just jealous of it, it figures.

OT: That pillow is SO insightful!

 

[Artorius]

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

the theme is full awesomeness xD..

Thumbs up looking forward to more.

 

[Whispering Death]

I love pillowquest!

 

[Balaxe]

Was that the same RROD console that they used in the pilot episode?

 

[Lancer723]

Hmm, I don't think I really like this one....

Not that some people wouldn't like it, but I don't think it's my cup of tea.

 

[TwistedEllipses]

Pillow quest and the red ring of death (he had a perfect stereotypical investigative-reporter voice) were the best sketches this week...

 

[BrotherRool]

That'd be the best episode yet, if the LBP thing wasn't so brilliant

 

[SomebodyNowhere]

The reveal in the second pillow quest segment caught me off guard and made me laugh a lot.

 

[TheRealGoochman]

I don't mean to be a downer, but it wasn't really my thing.

The pillow was pretty funny though.

 

[WaderiAAA]

Not too bad in terms of video making, but the only thing I found pretty funny was when he told his boss where to stick the job.

Pillow Quest was definitely the best part of this episode, the RRoD thing was kind of 'meh' though the line about "They say you get used to it after 4 or 5 times" got a laugh from me, the first sketch was a little hit or miss as well.

I'm optimistic about Show About Games Show, I have a feeling they'll get more and more consistent with their humor as they try things out and find out what works and doesn't work for them. I definitely like the general vibe of the show.

Deleted double post

Very well presented, produced and directed and all that crap. Sadly its intention of actually being funny flies very far from the mark. *Yawn*

 

[Eponet]

Mew <3

My Mew score is over 9000. It's one of the easiest to garner points from.

Pillow Quest and Big Bang Theory speech style were the best parts.

 

[icyneesan]

The pillow quest thing was hilarious. The Red ring bit, not so much. The sitcom was kinda funny.

Seriously? I hardly ever watch the show and I got that the one dude was supposed to be the skinny/tall antisocial guy right away (I don't know that character's name, sorry). I thought it was a fantastic impression.

edit: Someone said earlier in the thread that the tall dude from Big Bang Theory is "Sheldon". So yeah, I got that he was supposed to be Sheldon right away.

 

[kokirisoldier]

What did I just watch?

 

[Graham_LRR]

This was great, guys. As with the FilmFest entry, I think the shorter bits are definitely your strength.
Pillow Quest was inspired, and the call-backs really made it.
Good job!

Watched every episode of this show so far and laughed maybe once, a bit. Not my thing I guess, shame, love all other Escapist shows. :/
