The commitment to this joke is fantastic. This was awesome 🤣

[@ice9557]

This is by definition a serious case of a SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM that you have on your hands.

[@hdervish2497]

You just wish you were handsome, like Dagless

[@joeybrazil2024]

He must be a one track lover.

[@Nogli]

One can only dream...

[@billcar6805]

I'll put some sounds on, theres a bad atmosphere in here......

[@Jakethehitman73]

This is brilliant! I love Darkplace and you've captured the vibe beautifully.

[@JohnnyWednesday]

My uncle was killed filming an episode of this trash - I'm so glad somebody is taking them to account.

[@cilliancunningham8318]

April 1st innit.

[@yurekwonka4482]

Your friend seems like a wise man. Maybe he should jump the shark and start his own youtube channel and maybe make a video on monogatari.

[@ChicagoMonsterPunk]

This is truly great.

[@ice9557]

I live for this kind of glorious trash! It gives me hope as a writer and future film maker! Plus it’s just super jocular!

[@themaskedkid5266]

this video both makes me want to engage in a long-form discussion about the philosophy of art and also makes me want to not do that and just tell you to piss off wonderful, i love it 👏👏👏

[@ice9557]

If you ever want to see something very interesting about the philosophy/absurdity of art. There is a 2004 independent film called Art School Confidential that is a dark comedy that is underrated cinematic gold. It’s a little quirky and takes approx 30 minutes or so for you to get into it but it’s pretty freaking GREAT. It’s directed by Terry Zwigoff, who’s done Crumb (1995), Bad Santa, and Ghost World...

[@Tacom4ster]

This is most meta KZbin prank ever, to be honest I kinda tuned out

[@devinpoole4528]

Darkplace is easily one of my favorite shows of all time. Watch it at least once a year. Used to b even more before i quit smoking.

[@kiddo9626]

All jokes aside are you aware of Garth Marenghi's terrortome? Definitely worth listening to on audible

[@yoursonisold8743]

You went a long way to justify that you weren't wrong and I think that is very brave. Many people - nay ignoramuses - will still claim that their simple minds could conjure up a deeper understanding of Marenghi's intentions, but they could never be as crystal clear as your 5 hours of intricate analysis of the work. The commenter who has invested weeks of work into tearing apart each and every scene of this 80s TV cinema experience shall throw the first stone, but alas, we know that none did. They stamped it off as a mere joke, never realizing that, hah, they were in fact the punchline.

[@masonrockwood7732]

Lost pt. 3 when?

[@alexanderjakubsen2198]

This is truly a review worthy of the show!

[@VideosJacked]

This is the best video on this show.

[@isc42069]

I'm glad I'm not the only person who read Derrida to become a better shitposter

[@HawkGTboy]

You actually have to know film making in order to make a film this bad. They went out of their way to break every rule there is. 😂

[@scoutshellby7226]

This level of meta is confusing, not only am i not sure what the message of this Rag-Man guy's video is supposed to be, the fact that he's a fictional character makes it even more confusing, and it's a video about interpretation, but i'm getting conflicting ideas about the value of the critic, and that certainly doesn't help. And it might just be a joke, considering the date.

[@beangobernador]

the show isn’t bad, you just don’t have a high enough iq to understand it. The show is the ultimate triumph of humanity

[@shenotski]

Best worst show

[@sharibyaku]

more like best show ever tf

[@beangobernador]

no it’s terrible

[@alpercetiner949]

I think you got everything wrong about this show so far but I am writing this watching the first 2 minutes. And I hope you will tell us that you are trolling.

[@alpercetiner949]

Yeah, I reached minute 7.

[@alpercetiner949]

To be fair, nobody should call Studio Ersatz an idiot. He's been tricked. But as a film or show critic, I would expect more knowledge about actors. There are some top notch British comedians in the cast.

[@speedy26464]

@@alpercetiner949 how merciful of you to spare him, I propose we call him a mumpsimus instead

[@matiasbosques3002]

🧐

[@beangobernador]

I think it’s april 2nd

[@MrLeighman]

Wow, The funniest thing about your review is that you don't realize that what you are reviewing is in my opinion one of the greatest parody's in comedy history. Geez, can people really be that dumb, you sound so intelligent as well.
