New episode

I got a real kick out of the Rickhead's video. It reminds me of the time when people wouldn't shut up about how the wall behind the Nostalgia Critic became white. :-D

joe

Hey what about when he switched to the blue wall, that totally jumped the shark.

Also, Douchebag Dave playing himself again.

David

12/11/2014 07:14:09 am

Hey at least I get paid to be an asshole on the Internet. Sure beats doing it for free, you insufferable prick.

RandyPan

12/11/2014 07:52:42 am

Are you ever not going to fall for that?

Bruce MacLeod

12/11/2014 12:00:18 pm

Yeah, you get paid for this...because you're Brad's friend.

Maybe if we had a friend who happened to be an internet celebrity, we could get paid for being condescending douche-nozzles, too!

David

12/11/2014 12:54:42 pm

I highly suggest it. It's actually quite fun.

astrakhan

Similarly, all the comments/criticisms Linkara received about his bookshelves.

RandyPan

12/11/2014 03:35:05 am

I'd love to see the Rickhead get his own "critic", who refers to him as "Prickhead".

Kevin

That was Spoony doing the Plinket impression? Wow, that was really good. I didn't even recognize him until I saw the credits.

Sho

12/10/2014 11:54:58 am

Did Noah use some type of voice manipulation software? I say this because it was spot-on and if that was merely an impression then it was even more impressive. Mr. Trinkett of Red Scare Media was quite amusing to me for some reason.
Also is this the origin story of the Cinema Bum? It would bizarrely work because it would mean his story started with getting kicked from his home because a person who normally hunts homeless people (but she doesn't) kicked him out of his house and then he was killed later on by Manchurian candidate Travis, a person who looks like the new owner of his house. That will be my own fan theory nonetheless.
Really enjoyed this ep.

oh yay soon there will be more reviewers then 80's dan

Sarah holding the forlorn-look after the "there's no dream without me" line was priceless.

12/12/2014 04:44:02 pm

Loved that scene so much! she kinda changed expression at the last second, so that could have been cut off, but it was great.

NancysNightmare

12/10/2014 12:20:21 pm

It's nice to see Jillian again!

I've consistently enjoyed the narrator, he's hilarious. And I also love that you guys have a Rat King costume.

Correction: the Noble Mouse King. Nobody bows down to a rat!

12/10/2014 12:42:43 pm

that last bit with Jeff and Michelle made me smile, I like their little moments in this show like when he made her laugh and now leaving the review open for her, I don't know I find them adorable. <3

great new episode! Caroline is still my favorite and I am so glad she's important to the plot now because that means more of her!

wek

12/10/2014 01:32:00 pm

Well they did just mention she has a twin sister which may mean that she is going to get killed off and replaced with her twin after they have a threesome with Andy.

RandyPan

12/10/2014 01:43:38 pm

Jillian's titties would be a great deal breaker. Especially the nipples. She has awesome nipples.

Tony Montana

2/16/2015 02:28:11 am

How do you know that she has awesome nipples?

RandyPan

2/16/2015 02:30:40 am

Because I've seen the Snob movie.

Big Poppa Pump

12/10/2014 02:18:55 pm

the reviewers kinda sucks and really makes me miss 80s Dan

Isaac

12/10/2014 04:11:50 pm

Don't watch it and wait until he's done with season one of the show and shot on shitteo?

80s Dan will be back after they're done with season one of this and SoS, He's said this show is easier to do and 80s Dan is almost like a mini movie each time he has to do it which is why we don't get them as much.

HBK's Lost Smile

12/10/2014 06:45:16 pm

the problem with the Reviewers is that it's not very funny and tries too hard to build characters that are pretty sad but not in a funny way

Moderator J

12/11/2014 03:12:39 am

@HBK Well, comedy is subjective, so not everyone is going to like it; but also, you're the same person as Big Poppa Pump.

Don't be the guy who picks different names in a conversation that makes it look like more people are agreeing with them. Don't be that guy.

Isaac

12/11/2014 05:14:36 am

@HBK, Some people still enjoy it, like what Moderator J said comedy, or pretty much everything, is subjective. If you don't like The Reviewers state why you don't like it in a nice way, stop watching it, and wait until Brad does something you enjoy. The guy does so many shows that i'm sure he has a split of fans who don't like certain shows vs fans who do enjoy the show.

Plus, the fact that Brad is mostly free entertainment should really boil anything he does for the site down to if he enjoys making it. He says he really likes doing The Reviewers and the rest of TS seem to enjoy it, they should do stuff they find fun.

Benoit's Weightbench

12/15/2014 09:34:28 pm

@ModeratorJ oh no I'm not trying to pretend to be other people who agree with me. I just don't really have a name I want to stick with

David

12/11/2014 01:52:16 pm

Brad can't please everybody all the time. I too miss 80s Dan. It was definitely my favorite show to watch. But man it's a pain scheduling wise. It really depends on getting everybody in the same room and as we get older and have different responsibilities it gets harder to do that. The reviewers is easier. And we have a damn good time making it. But I assure you there are plans for 80s Dan. And a lot of other stuff soon too. If all goes to plan there's gonna be a uptick in production around these parts soon. Hold tight buddy.

The reviewers is ok but I would watch a show about the rickhead all day every day

Morhek

12/10/2014 04:34:49 pm

I'm betting Caroline's twin sister took in a time traveller and his robot friend. The inevitable Saint Elsewhereverse-style ties just permeate the site further.

Cliff

12/10/2014 09:05:39 pm

Andy being unaware of the existence of C.Thomas Howell is fucking fantastic. He chose the stupidest name by sheer happenstance.

MTRodaba2468 link

12/11/2014 01:15:27 pm

Agreed. That was hilarious.

12/12/2014 04:45:50 pm

That joke was golden

astrakhan

12/10/2014 10:06:47 pm

I hope this builds to a plotline where Andy creates an elaborate scheme to take down the Rickhead during the Magfest Nerf War.

Das Kino Snob

12/10/2014 10:25:06 pm

I like The Reviewers fine, but yeah I miss 80's Dan too. Especially around christmas time, when I get that warm feeling of nostalgia about midget hookers and cocain.

Tony Montana

2/16/2015 02:31:41 am

Just listen to Randy Newman's "Short People" and Eric Clapton's "Cocaine."

Das Kino Snob

12/10/2014 10:39:06 pm

Also, does anybody know when Shot On Shiteo will be out. I thought they were almost done with the first two segments about a year ago. I know it takes time to make a movie, but as a regular viewer on the site I know how fast Brad cranks out material, so I was just wondering if it is stuck in development-hell.

Xpac'sTornColon

12/10/2014 10:46:04 pm

they had to postpone filming a segment for an entire year because it had to be shot in winter and last year's winter was fucking horrible. this is why Brad had to shave his head again

Das Kino Snob

12/11/2014 03:16:49 am

Oh thanks, I thought he just really liked the whole shaved head look. As a fellow "shaver" I can admit, that a person gets used to comfort of not having to worry about the fuzz-on-top.

Ironwolf

12/10/2014 10:57:23 pm

I know Brad is probably not trying to tug at peoples heart strings or make a really deep show or whatever, this is just to make people laugh. But man that whole segment of Sara telling Brian to dial back his dreams and focus on essentially living, hit WAAAAAAY to close to home. I have had this conversation with countless friends who are in their mid 20's and just frustrated to hell that they are not a big name yet. Its stuff like art and design and not internet reviewing, but same thing the lack of success or the small amount of it is not enough for their expectations and it makes them really pissed and depressed about everything and in turn makes them self destructive. Don't know why people want fame over the fact that they are at least doing something they like and making money than working a 9-5 at a desk.

I can't believe that was spoony doing the mr. plinkett impersonation. it was spot on. I kind of thought for a second there you got Mike to make an appearance or something.

Lodi

12/11/2014 12:48:28 am

Love the Red Letter Media spoof. Sarah was the best part of this video.

Plinkett link

So that's where that hooker from my basement went. I'll stop by later to get my golden heart back from her still warm carcass.

Dewey Manlove

12/11/2014 03:55:35 am

This show confuses me. The actors teeth are British, but their accents are American?

Hu-man

12/11/2014 04:07:22 am

Cool episode, I always like these. But I do miss the random critics that popped up.

Also, this is almost completely unrelated, but anyone know what happened to the KyleLOLgren twitter account? it looks like it actually shut down... so does this means Kyles constant bitching actually had it shut down????

Devin

12/11/2014 04:24:35 am

Spoony pops up in this as a Plinket parody.

And yep, looks like Kyle's takedown notice on the parody account actually worked. He even posted up a tumblr entry where he was ACTUALLY considering taking people trolling him to court... Kyle Kallgren: above parody. You will respect all things Kallgren, for he is a delicate flower who must be taken seriously.

Anymore whenever Kyle is being a dickhead, I have to pause and think about whether it's really Kyle, or if it's Andy from The Reviewers, because both are the exact same person.

Hu-man

12/11/2014 04:45:55 am

I more meant the actual other critics, but I guess it's cool if they remain one scene wonders.

And dear lord.... you know for a while I was capable of separating his petty, pity me, megalomaniacal dickishness and still enjoy his work... but I'm just going to stop watching him already... he is a vary despicable person, and to top it off he always has his "holier than thou" attitude, and if its shaken he turtles up and cries victim...

And I'm not saying the other reviewers or such I like are beyond reproach, to the contrary whenever they make a titanic blunder they own up to it. But to go as far as to threaten legal action and to take down a twitter account that rightfully called you out for the heinous things you have done... not to mention take any chance you can to dish out backhanded comments at his supposed friends and coworkers and blame them for your lack of success...

Hell, and Andy being a caricature of such a personality hasn't reached those levels, unless there is a future episode where he hires a lawyer and takes down all who dare defy him

Stupid.com

12/11/2014 06:52:48 am

Wow! That is terrible. Old Ralphie Oancitizen is truly a thin-skinned, sad sack of crap. I have lost all respect for him. A total sham.

SsnakeBite

12/12/2014 07:41:29 am

Ah, I see you guys are some of these people who think gratuitous insults, slander and defamatory comments count as "parody". and I'm sure the part where that account and several others encouraged harassment (not just of Kyle either) and frankly stalkerish behaviour is all part of the hilarious parody.

Nathan

12/12/2014 08:07:46 am

@SnakeBite "gratuitous insults, slander and defamatory comments," oh you mean like how Kyle slut shamed women in his videos and harassed Mantis on twitter; or frequently puts down and insults his co-workers for doing comedy? Yeah, I feel so sorry for him.

Sorry, someone who's that big of an arrogant dickface should be able to handle a parody account calling him out on his douchebaggery. The guy name-calls and insults people all the time, and now he's threatening a lawsuit for being trolled? Yeah, I'm sure that'll go over perfectly.

Next thing you know Josh Hadley will go sue crazy, because he doesn't REALLY work as a mall Santa and collect ass pickles like Parody Josh says.

Devinshire

12/12/2014 08:12:40 am

A parody twitter account that never tweeted to Kyle or had any interaction with him = stalkerish behavior? All the account did was poke fun at his pissy little tweets, which Kyle most certainly is NOT above.

Can't wait till Doug threatens legal action against Encyclopedia Dramatic, Dead Horse Interchange, and LordKat. Oh right, that probably won't happen, because that's fucking ridiculous.

Hu-man

12/13/2014 07:27:55 am

I never saw any encouragement of harassment, much like Fake Josh it mirrored some of his posts, called out his asshole behaviors, and also made a hyper version of his persona, never did it actually, say, call people and tell them to email him or give out his address or message him directly even.

And are you really coming out to defend the guy? the guy that actually harassed women? the guy that slandered those who put him in the spotlight? I could list more of the shit he has done... but ooooh no, he has low self esteem, he es a poooor little baby.... but sure I bet in your mind and his us calling him out on being a woman harassing, slanderous lech are somehow in the wrong, because Almighty Kyle is without flaw, and a pox upon those who dare speak his name to insult.

Was the parody vulgar? yes, stalkerish? nope, harassment? hell no... slander? well no because those accusations weren't false, not like blurting out someone is "anti-intellectual" because his appeal to the filthy masses is the only thing that could make him more popular than you.

Crazy R

12/15/2014 10:13:40 am

"...slander? well no because those accusations weren't false..."

Really? You don't consider tweets that portray Kyle as a rapist as slander and/or false accusations?

Derek Shire

12/15/2014 12:47:24 pm

And the Fake Josh account goes on and on about brewskis and "ass pickles," doesn't mean it's saying "the real Josh Hadley likes brewskis and ass pickles!" It openly says that it's parody and a fake character, and not real. It was just taking to an extreme Kyle's rather unseemly experiences with women online; and it only ever referred to ITSELF in the tweets, and not the real Kyle Kallgren. That's not slander. If it openly said "the real kyle has sex with animals," that would be a problem, but it never did that.

Also, Kyle Kallgren HAS actually harassed different women on twitter, and not to mention his coworkers, so parody account or not, the dude is kind of a little shit, so I don't have any sympathy for him regardless.

Travis Bickle

12/11/2014 05:21:50 am

Another great episode. I literally burst out laughing at the "You can't spell dream without me" line. That's a perfect line for Brian to deliver. And thanks for including Rickhead. I would feel cheated if he wasn't in an episode.

SsnakeBite

12/11/2014 05:52:02 am

I really can't say enough good about this show. It's well written, well acted, funny and has a genuinely interesting story and characters. We need more web shows that are proper fictions like this.

I.Y.

12/11/2014 07:02:47 am

Not to needlessly stir the pot, but is this inspired partly by Spoony and a certain auburn-haired person whom I have chosen to leave nameless?

Either way, I am enjoying this.

But I cannot wait for the triumphant return of '80's Dan.

Brad

12/11/2014 07:45:35 am

Nope. Episodes of this show are usually inspired from something, but this isn't one of them.

SsnakeBite

12/12/2014 07:13:01 am

Why are people so desperate to make "Brad Jones and Kyle Kallgren hate each-other" a thing?

Brad

12/12/2014 12:03:44 pm

I don't know what Kyle had to do with that comment, I thought I.Y. was referring to Spoony and Allison.

Daemian Lucifer

12/12/2014 05:52:41 pm

Spoony fucked Allison?When did that happen?Was that why Phelous got so mad?Because of the cheating?

Hu-man

12/13/2014 05:07:47 pm

Dude... he was talking about the debacle with spoony and his ex... Kyle's hair isn't even auburn

Skeletorso

12/11/2014 07:05:26 am

Wow, every time I see a video with jillian in it I forget just how fantastic of an actor she is. Really, seriously, here in Demo Reel as well was absolutely fantastic, with that scene where she was shaking with how much she didn't want to do it really standing out.

LloydFan

12/11/2014 08:03:55 am

I'm confused!!
Why did Caroline say "My dad"?
This video makes no sense.

Monster Khan

12/11/2014 04:10:35 pm

Awesome show Brad! Love the Reviewers! Hey, I wanna know when you're gonna do a scene with the Christopher Nolan shot where two characters are having an intense conversation and the camera continuously circles round them 360 degrees as the conversation escalates! I think that would be so cool to see in a Reviewers episode. Keep up the great work!

CyborgPrince

12/11/2014 04:18:31 pm

Jillian can pull off a pretty evil looking smile.

Really enjoyed this one. Great humor and jokes. Especially that wall bit. Some people really can be a Douchey McNitpick.

So does this mean we hate Red Letter Media or like Red Letter Media? I'm so confused i need a pizza roll

You'll get one, since you left a comment on this webzone.

12/12/2014 04:51:59 pm

So, it is just me, or the acting is getting... better? Barring some timing issues, it seems like everyone has upped their game and that's awesome!

Loved Caroline's unconvincing flirting, and the "welp! I don't have any lube, so..." made me crack up so much.

Please tell me that Caroline's sister is a religious nutjob whose favorite movie is "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas"

Heather

12/13/2014 03:56:14 pm

God I love this show. And you can add me to the list of people who loved the shot of Michelle's reaction to the line about not spelling "dream" without "me." Sarah's facial expression was absolute perfection!

atwosheds

12/14/2014 07:55:06 am

This show is okay, but I really hope it isn't the reason why Brad doesn't make 80's Dan episodes anymore.

Rory Richards

1/31/2015 12:40:14 pm

This is such a goldmine of a show. I wonder...if a studio came knocking with a dumptruck full of money and a contract...would Brad sell the show and characters? Because honestly, with little upgrades to the production value, I can easily see this show on a channel like FX. Heck, the only comedy show I look more forward to than the Reviewers these days is Archer. Not even IASIP. Most else just sucks or feels redundant. Team Snob should really create a 24 episode season pack, pitch it, and I'm sure they'll get enough money to produce more shows.

Btw possible idea for a future episode: Andy (or Jeff?) is contacted by a local business offering decent money for product placement in Andy's reviews. Lots of possibilities...

kaputnik

3/27/2015 09:47:27 am

I've wondered that myself but I think the problem is the topic of "internet reviewers" is probably still a /little/ too obscure for the mainstream.

2/15/2015 07:19:46 am

Are we talking "The Entity" as in MissingNo. turned into an outer god from Atop the Fourth Wall, or as in some other monster I have not heard of?

2/18/2015 08:17:09 am

We Need more of These.

3/27/2015 09:53:19 am

Took me a little time to come around to this show (watching the 3rd episode first didn't help) but I really love it. I've been very, very impressed with everyone's acting chops (Bryan's has really improved from 'Hooker with a Heart of Gold'.. really solid stuff mate!) and the concept is so fucking clever- a show about bloody internet reviewers, of all things!

Random thoughts- I kind of wish 'The Messiah' was modeled a little more after James Rolfe/AVGN, since imo he's the REAL 'Messiah' of Internet reviewers. But if he wasn't a Jesus-knock-off in a robe the 'Messiah' handle and allusion wouldn't work so well, I guess.
And while watching the last episode for the first time, I was coincidentally crushing up Panadeine Extra tablets to make a codeine cold-water extract mixture. So all the stuff about Caroline's drug addiction made me both laugh and feel super guilty at the same time, but luckily the guilt is eased in knowing I'm starting my cold turkey tomorrow. Imagine watching Brad's videos will help me through that upcoming week of pain. :D

Hmmm

4/14/2015 01:05:21 pm

So I guess this show is done.

Brad

4/14/2015 01:13:21 pm

Nope. The finale has simply been rewritten to take out the Jeff character and introduce in a new character played by Ryan. The finale will be shot at the beginning of May.

Hmmm

4/14/2015 10:33:15 pm

Ah, cool. Looking forward to it!

Andy (Brian Lewis) and Jeff (Jake Norvell) are two down on their luck roommates who decide their best possible career choice is to be Internet Reviewers. Only problem is, they're broke, have no skills, and have no fans. The pilot episode was a featured short as part of "The Uncanny Valley" - The 5th Anniversary movie from ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com.
