[@romanfox5368]

Just listened to your Mouth album. Great stuff man. One criticism though for this video... ... the echo man. You're better than this.

[@KevinJamesVideo]

Roman Fox Which echo? The rough dialog recording at the start or the effect on the Bible verse line?

[@KevinJamesVideo]

We didn't have a dedicated boom operator for this, but thanks to the Patreon's success we're going to try and have that base covered every time now.

[@signifidelica2819]

wait where do lawn mowers figure into any of this

[@chrissyjo420]

[@asaguda]

For some reason the funniest part of the video is the intro. "Oh shi-" *Intro theme* "-Shit!" You gave the impression that you cut it off for censoring and then went through with it anyway. It's perfect.

[@imaginaryboy2000]

Dicey For me, the "Your ass is grass" is the best

[@juliusjoa3463]

"Like a lawnmower" has got to be one of the funniest phrases I've heard

[@bmo14lax]

Seriously I spit out my food

[@emmamaki5862]

Obsessed with how Job says "Remember me?" as though it's been a long time since they last saw him even though it's literally been seconds. Also how Neil's character says "I can't believe he's *finally* dead", which given the video's short time frame suggests that he'd already been wanting Job to die for some time beforehand

[@catoticneutral]

I love how he's in no way whatsoever related to lawnmowers he's just a spicy zappy ghost

[@dootvevo7511]

Its a reference to the movie The Lawnmower Man

[@LissaLo13]

When I was a kid, starting from the age 4 or 5 and going for about 5 years, I had a recurring nightmare that a man made of electricity would come into my home and kill my parents. Thanks for bringing those memories back, guys. This was wonderful.

[@sephroark]

what the hell? If you're serious, you had some weird dreams as a kid... But then again, so did I...

[@hudgynsasdarl6967]

How did they die

[@michmann25]

That wasn't a dream.

[@blarg2429]

Your parents are Neil Cicierega and Ryan Murphy?

[@SomeFreakingCactus]

Your statement somehow sounds simultaneously sarcastic and genuine.

[@morimoomoo]

this sure is a weird ad for bible study

Somehow, the fact that the microwave said 'HORSE' was the funniest part of this to me.

[@camyea69]

Neil...what the hell. I just discovered the lawn mowerman yesterday, and you put this out. You are truly one of a kind and are reading my thoughts. Thank u so much

[@KevinJamesVideo]

There's one final Easter Egg in this video left to be discovered.

[@propername4830]

Kevin J. James 0:43 It's actually a USB stick Neil is plugging into the wall socket

[@LeUmoq]

Is it HORSE?

[@batlrar]

Wait, still? Is it the reflection in Ryan's glasses at 2:39 ? Looks like some sort of 8 bit video game start screen, but I can't make out which one. Or maybe it's just a website and the border is just the white background?

[@BellaExclamationMark]

It's been a whole year and I'm still not sure what you are talking about

[@MarcusKhaos1]

Is it that Ryan's Bible is actually a Norroena Viking Edition, of which there are 650 copies? First horseman and now Norse, man?

[@slidingSeraph]

The delivery on “No, Job.” gets me every goddamn time

[@BellaExclamationMark]

And now the lawn-mowing man can go around flirting with other people's moms much faster thanks to the power of the Bible!!!!!

[@Powerbonder]

"Just like a lawnmower." Yes

[@s4b3lz]

"Thou shalt not possess the powers of magnetism!" *"The Bible!"*

[@staceymulligan6486]

We all know that relatable quote from the Bible

[@anirandums2220]

As someone who was raised on Christianity, I can confirm that this is a recurring theme in the Bible.

[@SoulSukkur]

there are so many individual problems in the basic logic of this video that accumulate into something spectacular.

1:42 LAWN-MOWING MAN HAS ALREADY TOUCHED THE DOORKNOB

[@VexWerewolf]

The thing I like most about Neil Cicierega is that he has never once produced any work of art that has not made me ask deep, penetrating questions of myself, the universe and existence itself. Such as: 1. What in the holy living fuck did I just watch? 2. What in the name of absolute fuckery was the media that I just consumed? 3. Explain to me in the name of motherfucking fuck what it is that my central nervous system just experienced? 4. Please, if you would be so kind as to remove my ignorance as to the nature of the audiovisual recording reproduced for me by various electronic gadgetry and experienced by my senses and processed by various lobes of my brain, could you please do that thing? 5. Did Nikola Tesla write the Bible?

[@angela22778]

Yeah

[@Znijik]

Perhaps I need a more thorough study of The Bible. I don't remember that specific passage. Thank goodness I learned of it before I was caught in a similar situation.

[@vampirica89]

I'm so glad you guys are now making more frequent videos! ^^

[@_BangDroid_]

Yeah but the quantity / quality ratio is affected

[@KevinJamesVideo]

You think this, Mr. Basement, Friend or Foe, etc, are inferior to the older skits? We're trying to keep them better looking than the usual low-fi KZbin stuff.

[@ChemloWright]

The quality is top shelf. I think someone just wanted to use "ratio" in a sentence.

A lot has happened in that kitchen...(a) The removal of the concept/idea/existence of basements and (b) a biblical miracle removing electromagnetic fields shaped in humanoid forms

thats hilarious, i use those same screaming sounds to scare little kids on halloween

[@JrTheDragon01]

I give bonus points to this video for misuse of the term "electromagnetic waves"

[@midnightcinema7813]

Why does the microwave say horse?

[@KevinJamesVideo]

Trivia: We were real embarrassed by how stupid the rough edit was without effects. We joked that this video felt as aimless as Ryan Turns Into a Dog, which was an intentionally dumb comedy skit that had a creepy horse in the background on occasion. The horse on the microwave clock was my nod to how silly this was.

[@midnightcinema7813]

Wow, didn't even catch the similarity! Nice one dude.
