You posted, yay! \o/ I am at work for another 7 hours, boo. :( Will be back later. It's brilliant I'm sure. I've certainly heard enough buzz about it on Twitter. :D

Aww, thanks Rho! We loved, er, *sort of* talking to you at the con. Everyone was missing you.

OMG BRAD!!! I've been waiting for you to post this all weekend. And I just have to say...


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Frikkin' genius. Bender as Jack Black? Perfect. Was that song made especially for the show or what? Totally brilliant.

TOTALLY.

[info]bradcpu

August 10 2010, 15:51:23 UTC 1 year ago

As soon as I started thinking about Bender with Jack Black's voice coming out? I *had* to do this. I mean, c'mon!

Glad you had a laugh from it. :) Even better that it was a laugh at Fox's expense. (Ah, Fox. You and I have such a complicated relationship.)

This was totally fucking brilliant. Also, i will just ignore you if you claim not to meta again, you big meta vidder, you. :)

the song choice was so amazingly perfect that it's up there with "rodeohead" in my mind, which hold the reigning spot in my "best song choice" mental category.

Also, long live geek culture! Even if it means we're all going to hell.

One of my favorite vids of the con.

I don't think it's any coincidence that I was working on [info]absolutedestiny's vidder profile and going through his back catalog when I came up with this idea. Still overwhelming to see it compared to his work, though.

I didn't catch up with you after In-Depth, but I just wanted to say how much your comments meant to me there. I was going back and forth between open-mouthed disbelief and verge of tears. So intelligent and insightful, and yet so incredibly flattering in such a deep and meaningful way. Seriously, it was ... I don't even have words. Thank you.

Everything I wanted to say about this vid was said at the in depth vid review panel by people other than me, but I just wanted to throw in that from now on Jack Black and Bender's voices are going to be interchangeable in my head and it's totally your fault. Thank you. :)

Hee, welcome to my mind. :) That's how it's been in my head for like a year. Seriously, I really appreciate it, and it was so nice to see you again at the con!

In-depth was such an overwhelming experience for me. I'm still kind of trying to process it and convince myself it wasn't just a dream.

Re: We'll lead as two kings!

As usual, Leela will sweep in at the end and straighten everything out. So that Bender and Fry can screw it up again.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Holy shit, dude. This can and will go viral on youtube. I decree it. Make it happen!

It's very, very, very well done. As I don't have much Futurama knowledge, it got to the point where I just thought the vid was what the animation was made for. It's kind of amazing to mentally have to split them into two and realise all over again that you put those two halves together.

A bit of a weird analogy perhaps, but the epic storytellingness of it, and the way it weaves in and out of different moods, felt a lot like Rodeohead to me. They have the same sort of sprawling quality to them.

The best thing about watching this vid was feeling how much fun you had with it. That, and hypno-toad. :D

[info]counteragent

August 9 2010, 12:43:09 UTC 1 year ago

It reminded me of rodeohead, too! At least in how much it owned its song choice.

This is insanely hilarious, awesome, and brilliant. It was a huge hit at my little vid party. You should totally post this on YouTube, because if you don't, someone else will, and it will get 3 million hits, and then people will accuse you of stealing someone else's vid.

I've never heard the song and don't watch the show, but this seems like they were made to go together...which, they weren't (I'd wager), so excellent job to you.

[info]bradcpu

August 11 2010, 02:30:12 UTC 1 year ago

Well, I think they were made to go together, but it's cool that I was able to convince you of that. Also, Bender is totally Jack Black. Glad you liked it!

Have they hired you yet to work on promoting the new episodes? (How about now?)

(I don't know whether to beg more for Seeker or Futurama vids at this point. \o/ ::kinda loves having that problem::)

[info]bradcpu

August 11 2010, 02:32:56 UTC 1 year ago

I think I'm the unofficial, unpaid intern in charge of viral marketing. How'm I doin'? :)

You'll get more Seeker vids for sure. 3 more in the works atm. It's pretty cool that you want more of either!

Hypno toad wins at life, truly, as do you.

Watching this at my first VVC is probably a memory I will cherish for awhile. Everyone was rolling! Brad is brilliant (again! goddammit!) The storytelling is pitch perfect in this, as is the song choice. And the editing is amazing. My brother really enjoyed this vid and all in my house wanted to dance to the amazing "descent into hell" sequence which for some reason makes me laugh hysterically. And while it clocks in at nearly five minutes, there is not a dull second in this vid.

In short: I LOVES IT.

*tackles vid kinda like I nearly tackled you and your food*

Aww! That's awesome! I was sitting in the front row so I couldn't really tell what was going on behind me. I was like, just sort of hoping for laughs at the right moments? And to not look around and see people checking their watches. Lulz

I so wanna dance with your brother now! And you! If you're going to robot hell, you might as well have a good dance partner.

Seriously, all of the flattery is kinda overwhelming. Humor and self-deprecation is my coping mechanism. Here's me coping! In the good way!

This vid is so fucking brilliant! I adore the show and you clearly do, too and that combination with this song (which I didn't know, so every verse was a hilarious reveal) works beautifully.

[info]bradcpu

August 11 2010, 02:38:53 UTC 1 year ago

Oh god I love the show! It's my end-of-the-day-unwinding show. Was very interesting to use that kind of show as source for a VVC premiere, which is always a stressful process. Made it so much less stressful.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the vid. :)

August 10 2010, 22:13:00 UTC 1 year ago

Just THINKING about this vid is making me laugh. Because, okay, maybe geeks should not be in charge of their shows or modes of transportation, but FOX still sucks! And Hypnotoad has TOTALLY been going downhill since season 3. ::nods sagely::

Also: dammit, I STILL owe you a non-beer beverage of your choice! NEXT YEAR.

[info]bradcpu

August 11 2010, 02:40:57 UTC 1 year ago

You have never said anything untruthful!! This is truth!

So glad you had a laugh with me, and I can't wait to have a beverage-of-choice with you. Next VVC, you're on!

I wonder if the popular VVC vid source next year will be season 4 of Everybody Loves Hypnotoad.

You know, that could very well be the actual video to that song. AWESOME! I never realized how very Futurama-esque Tenacious D is...

(And bonus points for proper hypno-toad usage.)

[info]bradcpu

August 11 2010, 13:15:01 UTC 1 year ago

Ha, glad you liked it! Futurama and Tenacious D definitely have a similar style of humor, and they're both over the top in a big way.

There is never a wrong time for hypno-toad. All glory to hypno-toad.

August 11 2010, 06:34:14 UTC 1 year ago

LOL THIS WORKS SO WELL! Especially as I haven't seen much Futurama or heard this song before, so at first I thought this just happened to be a song from Futurama because Jack Black's voice sounds so much like Bender! I honestly can't believe how perfectly you tied the whole thing up.

LOL HYPNO-TOAD ENDING.

[info]bradcpu

August 11 2010, 13:20:36 UTC 1 year ago

Glad you got a giggle! It was so much fun to make.

Ha - it would be great if this was a song in Futurama. They should totes do musical segments using Tenacious D songs. But then my TV would explode from the awesome.

Just brilliant how you got the clips to fit. Bender re-considering on the money, and then going crazy was my favorite part, but loved it all *downloads for keeps*

[info]bradcpu

August 15 2010, 01:32:30 UTC 1 year ago

Ha, thanks! Love the icon, btw.

The moment I heard the song, I could see Bender doing all of this. Just had to show everyone else and get it out of my head.

Ahaahahaah! Glad you had a laugh! Yeah, there's a whole section of the song that I had to cut out that goes into how "everyone is robots", but at 5 and a half minutes? That's long enough!

It was really neat hearing the parts where people laughed at the con. That's a first for me. The Tubes line and the mooning seemed to get the biggest chuckles.

Just when you though it was safe to think epic was epic. But if you were to look it up in the dictionary now it would provide you with a URL to this journal entry.

Comedy GOLD.

And the lip sync was just beyond awesome. About 3 suburbs beyond actually. Especially the section with the phone! Your marketing team needs to make the following campaign slogan: "Brad Vids, now with 50% more lip sync!"

The 5 & half minutes just flew by I didn't want it to end! And that's always a good indicator of how great a vid is when you realize that.

Sorry for the lateness of the FB, I blame the fuckers at Cityhall. From now on I'll just blame them for everything...

Funny story: I originally intended to dedicate this to you and DC, since you two had a big hand in the inspiration, but I just ran out of room. :P So I guess it's "unofficially" dedicated to you guys. ... DC is definitely Leela.

So, yeah, *really* glad you liked it. :) It's great to be able to finally share this with you. Wish you could have been in the crowd to watch it with us when it premiered at VVC. Was an awesome feeling. Especially since I half expected people to be checking their watches at around the 4 minute mark.

I think you just nominated yourself to be my marketing team. Have that promo package on my desk by 9 a.m.!
