Casual Chat || Crapshots Ep782

[@chaosmittens]

This might be the most distilled LRR video ever.

[@samanthaquinn3003]

It is absolutely dripping with Kathleen's style.

[@henshini]

Did they feed all of LRR into an AI again?

[@andrewextravaganza8796]

​@@henshini that would imply the ai was beyond competent with how great this crapshot is

[@Argetbrisingr101]

Should have replaced the ground beef with wolf meat

[@trident042]

This is isopropyl in its distillery

[@jwish827]

"Casual chat" implies the existence of "competitive chat", which may be what I just witnessed.

[@BoZoiD57]

Competitive chat is just debate club

[@DavidLeeKersey]

@@BoZoiD57 My thoughts exactly

[@Quroe_]

​@@BoZoiD57 Or common internet discourse.

[@BenjaminKlahn]

@@BoZoiD57 Are the Toastmasters co-op PVE chat then?

[@Hanmerhack]

@@BoZoiD57 No I don't think so. Does it have a swimwear portion? If it doesn't then it's not a competition.

[@stellaaahh8896]

This is exactly the type of writing that got me into watching LRR **checks watch** uuhhh...16 years ago **crumbles to dust** So good!

[@SplitDemonIdentity]

That's when I started too! Though I avert the crumbing into dust parts by remembering that I was a child then.

[@WhichDoctor1]

@@SplitDemonIdentity spare a thought for me who started watching with their unskippable pilot when i was in my early 20s

[@emuller42]

The Formal Complaint sketch?

[@stellaaahh8896]

​@@emuller42 That's a great sketch too! I can't remember the first sketch I ever watched, but some that come to mind are the Max Effect Parody and the Mercenary Solutions series. All good stuff though, new and old content. Rare (for me anyhow) to still enjoy content from creators I followed this long.

[@OddModlin]

The writing is tight, the delivery smooth, the Ian disturbed. Peak comedy.

[@TehFrenchy29]

The Ian disturbed but, in a nice change of pace, not particularly disturb_ing_ to watch. He has a real knack for inducing mild discomfort in a way that's still broadly entertaining. Like that time he ate Graham's toast.

[@SeraphimKnight]

This sketch is so meta I feel like my personal data's been leaked.

[@chifii]

This is the most Loading Ready Run crapshot of all time. Literally the Who's On First sketch distilled into 66 seconds of runtime.

[@DensetsuVII]

Now that is based comedy.

[@vanatrix1942]

LoadingReadyRun, summarized in one minute.

[@paragamer85]

The buildup as I slowly put together the pieces of this all leading up to “THIRD BASE” when it finally clicked was frankly brilliant 🤣

[@ATrainVideo]

Ground beef from a quarry? Well I guess that's why it's called that.

[@green_creeper288]

I'm like 90% sure they just told Ian to say whatever he wanted to after bursting through the door and it worked.

[@kizikucalegon8673]

The fourth wall shatters, like your expectations.

[@staley101]

So Ian's part was basically "There's trouble at t' mill"

[@ahoyturtle]

Knowing as I do both Ian and mills, that tracks.

[@Walter.Kolczynski]

​@@ahoyturtle I mean, how would the train get to the mill without tracks?

THERE'S A SALE ON GROUND BEEF DOWN AT THE QUARRY!!

[@OctopusOwl]

I'm sorry can you take that one more time?

[@fenixmeaney6170]

​@@OctopusOwltake it where?

[@OctopusOwl]

​@@fenixmeaney6170 THIRD BASE.

[@Archgeek0]

I would be exceedingly leery of ground meat sold, _at a discount_ from a location known for stone extraction rather than say... meat refrigeration.

[@JustDiptych]

The quarry's where they extract material from the ground. Usually it's stone, but sometimes it's beef!

[@ZKtheMAN]

Abbott and Costello type beat

[@greatdinn8489]

This....this is why I love LoadingReadyRun

[@NickTheDM]

@@OctopusOwlNo, they have a Gigantic Entertainment Graham, not Grant. Easy mistake to make.

[@radical_ans]

This is the weirdest episode of Gilmore Girls

[@thrall898]

Note the emphasis on Ground rather than on Beef in Ian's delivery. They know where that beef came from. It's why it's at the Quarry.

[@loadingreadyrun]

Ding ding!

[@thecolortwelve3784]

Oh its so weird to have the exact wavelength of my sense of humor perfectly targeted.

[@sandmanlives3]

Excellent, as always. Thank you. What a delivery!

Fun twist, there's a shopping center near me called "The Quarry."

[@Dreadnaught1985]

It took me a moment to get where you were going with it, and then you both said "third base" at the same time and I felt rewarded.

[@jessicaengle3160]

KZbin recommended "Four PS4s" after I watched this crapshot.

[@Azidbern]

I want to give this a thumbs up, but there are already 4 of them and I think that is perfect.

Almost perfect! I was expecting some Seinfeld-esque slap bass before the end.

[@JMSginoclave]

Sometimes you trick yourself into believing you're fluent in a language. Then these sort of reality check bricks drop on your head with the fast-paced cultural reference and lingo quips going way over your head, and you sit your silly patooty back down.

[@artemi7]

I could tell this was a Who's on First skit, but I'm so teen slasher pulled that I can't think of Third Base as anything but a handsy sex term 😂

[@wiigamer1995]

can somebody explain to me what 3rd base means in this context? (unless it doenst mean anything at all)

[@calumcameron6355]

It's a reference to the "Who's on First?" vaudeville routine by Abbot and Costello, which was the thing that first really popularised this particular style of rapid-fire wordplay-based comedy sketch, and has been referenced in similar sketches by LRR before.

[@THESP-rz3hg]

If I had more third base, I too would be thriving 😂

I discovered myself leaning toward my tablet as I watched, the byplay got tenser and tenser, and then....THIRD BASE.....
