Hahaha, awesome video!
Heaps of laughs there!
You've done it again NT. Nice concept. ;)

he blew me..........AWAY!

I will have to watch that multiple times in order to extract all of the genius. But off the cuff...I thought Eric was the best character and was in stitches everytime he had a line. Maybe it was the unibrow that did it for me...I'm not sure. Second to him was Anthony. Those half shirts and man-boobs are a laugh riot. But his best scene was when he was trying to back his rear up into his fellow co-workers strolling down the hall.

The Bullock brothers are always hilarious as well. Their characters just didn't have the extreme values that Eric's and Anthony's did.

The new guy continues to impress me but his scenes were not as funny.

Hahaha oh man NT. Where you think of this stuff, I don't know. But it is hilarious. That may have just taken the spot for your funniest video. Eric's character was great. And your French character was key haha. It was like watching a Ubisoft Montreal interview, except your English was so much more clear.

Holy hell!!! That was a great piece of work. Too damn funny.

by **ntbullock** » June 14th, 2007, 12:24 pm

Excellent feedback. Thanks so much. We all agree 'round these parts that Eric Kohn stole the show as Fisk. Past that though, I think different characters hit different people. See, I really like Clayton's character, Richard Hedd. You never know what's gonna make someone laugh. The extreme characters will usually end up being more entertaining, but you do need the more level ones around to balance and for reactions. What I'm saying is I like the mix of characters here.

I usually do more British accents, but I knew Scott was going to be British so I went with my slightly less familiar French accent. I was the first one to shoot and in some ways that's difficult because you don't have anything to play off of. I'm pleased with how it came out and I appreciate all the honest feedback. This took a lot out of me to do surprisingly, but it's good to know it was worth it. ;]

Yeah... the nailfiling by the tester was the best part to me....

by **DBB** » June 14th, 2007, 10:34 pm

New to the forums but not to SP.com.

All I can say is, friggin' brilliant!

by **TheEdge** » June 15th, 2007, 9:01 am

I agree, you definitly need the balance of characters and that this was a great mix. As usual...awesome job by all.

Out of curiosity, was that Eric gulping or a sound effect done in post? It is subtle gestures like such that kept me rolling.

by **ntbullock** » June 15th, 2007, 1:43 pm

We tried to keep up his raspy breathing before answering and the gulping. I had headphones on so at some point I couldn't sit behind the camera because it was so hilarious to me. It was so loud in my ear. Those are real gulps picked up by the lav mic. The "hilarity" started impeding our progress, so the gulping was mimed and the other real gulps were placed over the action. So, to answer your question they are real and fake in a way. Good stuff.

by **Kismette** » June 15th, 2007, 7:35 pm

Wow that is some feedback you got.
I'm sorry to say that I personally didn't care for it. And you know I pretty much love all of your and Anthony's work. This piece just didn't make me laugh. Maybe I need to watch it again but it didn't strike me as particularly good as your previous accomplishments.

And my favorite characters were Scott and Eric. I do like Eric's "oh the smoke detector man" line - that part was funny because of his reaction.
I also like NT's french accent - fairly funny to me.

Sorry I wasn't so thoroughly amused like the others.

by **ntbullock** » June 15th, 2007, 8:13 pm

Honesty is always appreciated.

by **Mongoose** » June 15th, 2007, 8:47 pm

Funny stuff! I'm never sure what to expect from SP, but this had some great lines and characters. The pacing and writing was well done. I think the only thing it really missed was some direct dialog between characters.

Is that the same office you used from Glitch? It looks similar-ish, but I'm not sure.

by **MCS** » June 15th, 2007, 11:40 pm

Loved it, loved it, loved it. A bit slow in the middle, but overall great stuff. Yes, Eric was great. Anthony looks WAY to comfortable in that outfit.

Overall, great job.

by **ntbullock** » June 16th, 2007, 2:09 am

Good eye, sir. Yep. It's the same office.

by **BratEnte** » June 18th, 2007, 6:56 am

Very good! Give us more^^

greets from "Good old Germany" ;)

by **MRMD** » June 19th, 2007, 10:29 pm

Shade Darkenshadow and the Mammrachaun..... hilarious. I have to say, Fisk and Hedd were my favorite characters. More one-liners with them than anyone else. Everyone was spot on with their characters, though.

by **ntbullock** » June 20th, 2007, 12:05 am

Thanks for watching. I'm actually going to replace the one up on the site now with a shorter version - about 14 and a half minutes instead of 17 minutes. It needed some trimming and I've had some time to step back from it. It should be up tomorrow maybe?

EDIT: Now trimmed to 14:30

by **MRMD** » June 20th, 2007, 6:37 pm

You seem to be channeling Bronson Pinchot's character in Beverly Hills Cop with Dou Dou. Am I right?

by **ntbullock** » June 20th, 2007, 6:46 pm

I don't remember his character right off, so I'm gonna say no? ;]

by **DBB** » June 21st, 2007, 7:08 pm

He was the french guy in the art gallery relatively early in the movie after Eddie Murphy gets to Beverly Hills.

Similar but different.

On another note, I think I'm getting so much sadistic glee out of this one especially because I'm a gamer. I've played several MMOs and have been on the recieving end of corporate developers fucking up games beyond all recognition before, so this one hits alot of nerves that just makes it funnier to me.

by **ntbullock** » June 21st, 2007, 8:19 pm

How do you feel about the trimmed version? Did you see the original 17 minute one?

by **DBB** » June 23rd, 2007, 4:44 pm

I liked the 17 minute version, but this one seems to flow a little better, for lack of a better word.

by **Maek** » June 25th, 2007, 11:11 am

Any bloopers on this particular reel?

by **ntbullock** » June 25th, 2007, 12:23 pm

Actually there is a little bit from a few of us. It'll be up soon. ;]

by **ntbullock** » June 27th, 2007, 1:31 pm

And it's up...

Holy friggin crap. How did you get any real footage out of that. I don't think I would have been able to keep a straight face from more than 5 seconds during those shoots. Too damn funny guys!!

by **Robert Paulson** » February 29th, 2008, 11:04 pm

Quick question: Is Dick Head doing a Quentin Tarantino impression? Sure seems like one......and a very good one at that.

I love this vid!

by **ntbullock** » February 29th, 2008, 11:05 pm

Ha. No. There was no intentional QT.
