[@drifter402]

Your parody videos are infuriating because of how on the nose they are. Everything they say is so stupid yet hundreds of clickbait channels such as looper will unironically say the exact same things. If it wasn't RLM then many probably wouldn't even be able to notice that it's a parody. Brilliant.

[@anthonychrisbradley]

Geeeee8 I think this was more taking the piss out of channels like Collider rather than Looper b

[@drifter402]

I avoid those channels like the plague so I wouldn't know. The sad thing is that you KNOW that they have an influence. That's why it drives me crazy.

[@SplitAxisProductions]

MARVEL, DC AND STAR WARS, its insane how many channels can talk about these three fucking things every week for years, and yet people still watch and listen to them like they are saying anything new.

[@drifter402]

It digusts me how they've helped degrade these cultural icons and turned timeless classics into mediocre, trend chasing shit. That's why I personally liked Rouge one more than FTA is that it had less cliche bullshit. It still had FAR too much though.

Gweryl Beynon This was hilarious. However I am kinda sick of being insulted for being a Star Wars fan on this channel. If they don't like the movie, fine. But they say people that do are like idiots and neckbeards and thats just dumb and not true

[@bradwright9477]

Kristopher Poulsen Hmm maybe I misheard them in their Half in the Bag.

[@gwerylbeynon6084]

Brad Wright I mean yeah a bit, but it's just kinda RLM doing what they do - they like to poke fun at themselves (they are very much SW fans - I mean just look at rich, LOOK at him) and the increasingly ridiculous culture that surrounds anything 'geek'. It's always been kinda ridiculous but lately it's mutated in the swampy depths of the Internet to become this monetized, often overly serious...crazy hype circus - that swings between frenzied pumping up of a new product or film one week and then damning it into obscurity for its smallest of faults the week after.....(The later of which they are probably all to aware they helped create with Plincett.)...It's a culture where fully grown adults are paid to sit around a desk and discuss Kylo Ren's cross guard like it's the Cuban missile crisis. Where orgiastic crowds of people scream at trailer footage of the millennium falcon like the 2nd coming Just popped out of someone's balls and started the rapture. I mean there's nothing wrong with all that really, people need to get paid and people like to get excited about things - it's just ripe for parody...until we learn to laugh at ourselves and take it all a bit less seriously. I mean fuck it I am definately a man child - If my wife walks into the room and catches me watching Dragonball - I pull the chord, hold my hands up in the air and 'admit' it was midget porn.

[@bradwright9477]

Gweryl Beynon I think this is a great way to put it. I don't know if I fully believe they are Star Wars fans, but everything you've said is perfect

[@1080TJ]

"The grittiness of this movie validates me as an adult who likes a children's fantasy series. I can watch Star Wars now, I don't have to feel bad, I don't have to feel like a child, I don't have to feel deeply ashamed." Fucking perfect. A lot of fanboys seem to forget why they even liked something in the first place. They're so insecure about liking something that appeals to a wider audience than they want to admit, that they want to put it through a grimdark filter until it doesn't feel like the same thing anymore.

If you pay attention you can tell where the audio hard cuts and doesn't transition properly to the next shot or cut, where they had to cut off to another shot before everyone started laughing. Also the audio cut between the two consecutive shots is so close because they had to make up for the dead air in the editing timeline between the cuts after they removed the laughter. They laughed at Mike's jokes 2:10 and 11:16. They laughed at Jay's joke at 12:56. They laughed at Rich's joke at 4:23 and 14:23.

Are you stupid? They're more popular now than they were last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. They've tripled their cast and crew, how stupid do you feel dumb fuck? Do you know why they've gotten bigger? BECAUSE THEY'VE GOTTEN MORE POPULAR. More popular = more $$$$. The Movie Trivia Schmoedown is fucking amazing, literally every major film syndicate on the internet participates (except RLM because they would get crushed): RottenTomatoes, What The Flick, IGN, Flickster, Chris Stuckmann, Jeremy, ScreenJunkies, Witwer, Machinima, etc. How do you think they manage to get all those different people from a variety of networks? Because they're popular and appealing, unlike your stupid teenage ass. Your parents should have aborted you.
