I like this retro-futuristic universe where you can buy a flying car but there are no cellphones

NO-

[@bleepindeadalienbody]

the guy on the ground not quite getting to finish saying the flying car's full convoluted name is easily the funniest part for me, i had to pause it and appreciate it. such a funny line read too

[@una_10bananas]

I loved the term "sky bats"

[@vivimakesthings]

as opposed to regular bats who do not go in the sky

[@Nova-co4zs]

@@vivimakesthings but sky bats do go into the sky.

[@whatthewhatthe9117]

Ah yes, Neil Cicierega plays Neil in this film for a second I thought that was Emmy Cicierega for a sec good to know

[@ancient_bam]

I thought it was Neil Armstrong

[@urmom-zh6zs]

seeing neil and ryan flailing around with no sky bats is HILAROUS

[@scootinand]

"Treat the people you're working with with respect when you're making stupid movies." Very sound advice.

[@braydengeorg]

i love seeing how much effort got put into this skit. it sounds corny, but you really don't see this level of effort and craftsmanship in youtube comedy much anymore. of course, that's youtube/the algorithm's fault more than anything, but it's nice to see that you guys have never compromised on the quality of your material in 10+ years. your stuff always makes me feel like im back in the golden age of youtube, and that's something i really miss sometmes.

[@tysonq7131]

The script writer is too hard on himself - I think if he thought any harder about it it wouldn't be as funny. The juxtaposition of the high production quality and the script also make it funny.

[@vivimakesthings]

so does this mean theres actually an nkcu (new kids cinematic universe)

[@markghughes]

Don't be silly. There's no such thing as ground bats. Water bats on the other hand...

[@gunkymcsplunky]

I really love Guaranteed Video, it has this sort of style that other stuff doesn’t really have.

THE PUN ITS TOO GOOD

[@PrincessCarmel]

Like always, watching the self-interviews after the fact make me appreciate the actual videos effort and jokes so much more.

[@anonnico5475]

so glad we addressed that chitty chitty bang bang doesn't need to be this long no idea why this movie has an intermission and apparently I'm not the only person who hasn't watched it all the way

[@JurassicSound]

It was a childhood favorite of mine, but still, it's 3 different movies crammed into 1 movie.... that's the length of 2 movies.

[@hanamacquoid1427]

Tbh your videos are so good because you guys give 110% to every “stupid script” idea you roll with.

[@KevinJamesVideo]

That's the name of the game!

[@Naeddyr]

I loved the "sky bats" joke.

[@RandomDude647]

i didnt even notice that you could sing the "the amazingly aerodynamic . . ." title along with the music!

[@Boonehams]

24:41 - I legit had no idea how you did the take off shot until I saw this video. My theory, until I saw this, was that you had the car elevated with a pneumatic jack and then when you released the air, you filmed it in reverse.

[@ClovisPictures]

It is literally my dream to be part of a project like this some day

[@grimgoblinjack]

I miss New Kids on the Rock. Love Lemon Demon. It's good to see all your work. Congrats on your success.(Sir Robert Murray Helpmann was the Child Catcher villain)

[@troyheath7704]

That video is, imo, the perfect encapsulation of your comedy style, setting up all these perfect things to hang lampshades off of and then just not, and just rolling with it and playing it completely straight instead with the absolute perfect level of intentionally bad acting

[@39Fanclub]

WOOOO YAH FUCK YEAH

[@FerHivore]

I love videos like this because I always focus intensely on the visuals, thinking they line up with the auditory explanation even though I’m aware the whole time that they don’t. “The hardest part of this shot was the VFX.” *Shows closeup of Ryan* Me: “Wow, I can’t believe they recreated Ryan entirely with VFX!”

[@KevinJamesVideo]

Our "Brian" CGI conquered the uncanny valley.

[@connor48880]

Wait Ryan’s a real person? I always thought he was purely CGI and voiced by one of you guys

[@FerHivore]

@@connor48880 what I heard is they cover the real Ryan in pore-concealing low-specularity makeup to make the CGI version look more real by comparison. 🤫

[@SoluKissin]

He was recreated with VFX, that's why his name has quotation marks around it in the opening credits.

[@raisedbybats.]

Will always appreciate the fact that even tho this was a stupid idea and they had mishaps they still put so much time into editing and filming and i have huge respect for that

Here in September of 2023, and I gotta say, regardless of how dated the pandemic jokes are, as someone who has gone through the pandemic, I definitely enjoy the jokes, lol.

[@TAD.Animation]

I was really impressed by the lighting! Nice work all around Also, "sky bats" got me good

[@CHESShireCat]

I like videos like these because I want to appreciate how much work goes into making things but I also have no clue how much work goes into things. It didn’t cross my mind that those aerial shots would need to be filmed somehow from high in the air. I didn’t even notice that some shots were of a toy car.

[@vampirica89]

What a delight this episode was! You've all put so much work in it! Well done everyone, especially Kevin! 👏👏🚘✨💖

[@KevinJamesVideo]

I really appreciate the kind words, thanks!

[@KrisEllestad]

So many great details in this movie, guys, loved it! The amount of time and energy you all put into making jokes is a real gift to humanity. The fact that bRyan touches his chest like he's checking his pockets when he realizes he forgot the rope is hilarious, the alternate hands and feet add a lot, too, I'm glad you missed getting those shots in the first go. And cutting off the guy on the ground saying "wow! that's one amazingly aerodynamic unleaded quadro-" was gold. The music was spot on, too. I'd love to know what plugins Neil uses for orchestral/string sounds, they sounded pretty convincing. Cheers fellas!

[@meli_lemon_real]

"Why would you make a children's movie that long" because its good you monsters!!

[@StephenStaver]

As a parent, you'd be thankful for anything to keep the kid's attention for as long as possible.

[@FerHivore]

The end product looked and sounded fantastic, and it was full of hilarious small moments. I’m surprised you didn’t talk about how you managed to get the reflections on the car to look so realistic. It’s what impressed me most about the comping. Were they HDR reflections off of a 3D model of a car that were screened over the real car? Something similar. Also, the bats looked great. Despite just being a particle system, they were really well-integrated into the scene. Were the arms flailing in the foreground rotoscoped to appear above the bats between Brian and Neil? Or did it just look that good without rotoscoping?

[@MaxOrange]

There should have been prison tattoos on the hand closeups :)

[@CrimsonLolita_]

It came out so great - and it made the cgi bats even more hilarious. That's how great your guys' after effects and just general videography was, I personally loved it & think you guys are always stepping it up from your last stuff
