Behind The Scenes w/ Red Letter Media

[@qhotdog9343]

Mike's post-post-sarcastic tone finally makes sense, it's because he delivers the same joke 5 times before they get a usable take

[@pongod5751]

Takes a lot of prep to get that level o' sass

[@MindGameStudios]

Rich Evans is secretly a David Fincher-esque director, he demands a dozen takes before he’s satisfied.

[@ForwardSynthesis]

​@@MindGameStudios - Meanwhile, all of Rich's "gaffes" are intentional, which is why they make it into the show. In real life, Dr. Richard B. Evans is extremely articulate, holding the world record for speed talking backwards.

[@KaladinVegapunk]

Hahaha yeah it's intentional to get him into the right mindset.. This is actually really interesting to see, they usually have a little bleedthrough of showing a tad bit of behind the scenes on the set but never anything like this

[@fecxorfecxor768]

So Rich gives direction to Mike, and Mike constantly flubs his lines. Everything I’ve ever been told is a lie.

[@brunocarranzaaragon921]

And then Mike proceeds to personally attack and humiliate Rich. Very cool...
