It's actually a painting I did back in college. So ty, I shall take that as a huge compliment that you thought it was a poster! :D

Holy shit, that's a painting?! I had no clue. You should seriously consider finding work in some place like South Korea or Japan or wherever traditional animation is still around.

Really, Jillian? All these years I've been watching it in the videos and I never, ever thought it was a painting. I'm awed.

Is that really cocaine?

Brad

...Yes.

It's always the questions you never think you'll get asked...

That's very bad, Brad! I'm calling the FBI on you!

Dave

9/14/2014 03:55:00 am

You're joking, Brad, aren't you? You're smarter than that.

Great episode guys! Could use a little more cowbell, but still great!

This show keeps getting better.

Is there any way you guys could get Zach Lavoy to do a cameo as one of Caroline's child-star clients? I think it would be a cute in-joke (unless he is sore about the subject .....then I didn't say a word ;)
Plus, will Irving be getting in on this madness? He deserves a little more insanity too, heh.

Brad

9/11/2014 09:23:05 am

Irving will have a big story arch in Season 2.

Craig Martin

9/11/2014 09:36:43 am

Like an Arch Deluxe type of deal?

Wow, that was stupid of me to say

astrakhan

Speaking of child movie stars, Brad knows people who knows people who know Mara Wilson, and she'd be awesome in a cameo as a former client of Caroline's.

Adam

9/12/2014 11:26:08 am

Going by this episode, Irving must be a writer for the Rickhead's show.

Nathan

So, that cameo you did for Kyle, (the one he friended you about, then when you did it, unfriended you) apparently it was deleted from the video. Any chance of that getting spoofed on an upcoming Reviewers?

grmpf

9/11/2014 09:55:00 am

I wonder how Brad knows he's not in the video when this has only been the first part of a three-parter.
Also, I'm pretty sure Brad has made it clear enough in the past that he doesn't want to fuel any kind of feud between him and Kyle.

Dr Mixture

9/11/2014 09:59:44 am

Erm, given that Brad was there when it was shot, it's not that hard to imagine that he knows what part he was in. And since the Andy character is pretty clearly inspired in some small way by Kyle, it's not that hard to fathom that something like this could get parodied.

grmpf

9/11/2014 11:40:25 am

"Erm,"
Please don't do that.
"given that Brad was there when it was shot"
Oh my, and here I was thinking he wasn't present when his own cameo was shot. I must be so stupid.
"it's not that hard to imagine that he knows what part he was in."
Yes, it could be very obvious, for example if he knows for sure a point in a song where he was supposed to appear. Or it could be something that could've been anywhere.

I had kind of forgotten that there is usual quite a timespan between the event and whenever it gets parodied on this show. What I meant is that he probably wouldn't throw it into an episode while it's still recent. Furthermore, it would be the first time he also references the relationship between him and Kyle, which is something I'm just not sure he wants to do. I could be wrong about that, obviously. Anyway, chances are the more this gets discussed the less likely a reference in the show becomes because then it'd just be too obvious.

grmpf

9/11/2014 11:42:43 am

Okay, Brad's comment wasn't there yet when I hit the reply button. Ignore all of the above.
Except for not starting your comment with stuff like "uh", "uhm", or "erm". That's really annoying.

LloydFan

9/11/2014 03:55:37 pm

Okay, can we start it with okay?

grmpf

9/14/2014 11:26:42 am

Okay.

Brad

9/11/2014 11:26:44 am

It's really not that big of a deal, I know he doesn't like me very much, so I wasn't really expecting to be in it. I was originally in the "it sucks!" montage holding up a DVD of Paranoia.

If the shoe were on the other foot, I probably wouldn't include a cameo of someone I don't like either. Then again, I probably wouldn't have asked them in the first place lol. I spoof a lot of things in The Reviewers, but I don't know if I'd spoof this. Only if I can come up with a funny idea for it, because I wouldn't want it to come across as petty. Just some good ribbing.

Are you talking about Brows Held High Kyle? Cause i kinda like him too :(

Daemian Lucifer

So?Its not like theyre divorcing and youre their child that has to pick sides.You can still watch both and laugh.

Santiago

9/14/2014 03:52:49 pm

Sooooo.... why does Kyle not like you?

Brad - I'm curious to who you will play next.

Julian - You were pretty funny in some scenes.

Dave - Don't think we didn't see holding in that laugh at the end.

Jake - Why is your hair so wet?

Sarah - How did you find Julian's place?

Scott the Narrator - You have some pretty funny moments too.

Brian - Deja vu?

Brad

9/11/2014 11:22:47 am

I'm curious who I'll play next too =) This is probably my favorite role of Jillians. You should have been there during the filming of The Rickhead scene, it was the most that we lost our shit ever filming Rickhead stuff. I'll put them in the blooper reel. Scott's bloopers are also fantastic too!

Jake's hair got wet because it was storming most of the day. We kind of had to work around some downpours. In fact, in between the part where Jillian left the park, then came back, we had to take about 15 minutes and get under an umbrella because it started raining again.

Since it's supposed to be a few days after Caroline threatened Andy, I just figured that Michelle probably simply asked Jeff where Caroline lived.

Inquisitor

9/12/2014 02:10:01 am

This is probably Jillian's best acting I've seen for this site man. She nailed the performance, all dialog seemed natural and organic, no stilted blocking. Everything she did was perfect. Kudos to her.

Yeah, the scene where Jake stands up behind Jillian from the park bench wearing the pigeon mask his shoulders were wet, not just his hair.

"Brian - Deja vu?"

I know, right? He receives top billing despite only appearing in archive footage.

Daemian Lucifer

9/12/2014 10:06:54 am

Wait,Julian was in the video too?Were?I missed his scene!

Mark

9/11/2014 12:37:03 pm

I love this series!

I like how Caroline has been tied into everything since the beginning. Also how we can "sympathize" with her a little more after hearing her drug-fueled past.

I can't wait for the next episode!

Drity Gary

9/11/2014 12:49:36 pm

Brad awesome show again,. I so want to see more of the Rickhead. Question to you use things that you have heard about to influence episode as some those events seem real life. Plus child star I love it its like demo reel I it was really funny. Joking doug.

I like to turn to substance abuse when my cable goes out, or in other words fuck you Comcast, I don't think Blip is the problem for most of your viewers Brad, I think ISPs like Comcast are fucking with them because my internet is dropping out randomly and it's effecting the Blip player like crazy. Also like I said before the Rickhead needs his own spinoff show.

Matthew

9/11/2014 06:47:19 pm

I dont think the Rickhead should get a spinoff. I think he should just get a short episode of The Reviewers dedicated to him like Caroline did in this episode. I think it would be poignant if the whole episode is of him in the Rickhead character, acting like a prick on his show, at conventions, in interviews etc. But have the last shot be him turning off the camera and walking out of his shooting space into another room of the house where his kids are, and he sits down and starts playing with them and acting like a normal, loving family man, revealing that he's the complete opposite of his online personal in real life.

astrakhan

9/11/2014 02:14:09 pm

Wow, you wasted no time getting the masks on-screen.

grmpf

9/11/2014 02:25:50 pm

Caroline seems like a character from the movie you'd get if you crossed Cheap with Midnight Heat and made it a comedy.

FerrisGump

9/11/2014 03:27:16 pm

This has to be at least the seventh Brad Jones production involving a coke addict.

Well, as the old saying goes, write what you know . . .

The return of Samantha! (barely)
Also the narrator is awesome, stick with that guy.

Is Dave ok? He doesn't look good in the video. I hope he's fine.

Sour Crowd

9/11/2014 08:21:11 pm

Best episode so far IMHO.
I now consider falling in love with Jillian, but I already have with Scott's voice.

Abigail

9/12/2014 05:05:17 am

This is now my favorite Jillian role she is amazing here! She and Dave do a great job on this series they are definitely stealing the show!

I can't wait for the next episode! (I want to see how Caroline gets Andy on board and more importantly how Michelle decides to kill those three)

Daemian Lucifer

9/12/2014 10:10:30 am

Does Jake have a one pun per episode limit in his contract,so that you cant force him to say more of them?I can already see him cringing when he was supposed to say chick norris.

bird

9/12/2014 04:41:08 pm

Why go to therapy about binge drinking and heroin use? You've already found the answer to your problems. It's like warm silk wrapped around your brain.

Besides that logic jump it was another great episode. I dig the shit our of this show. Thank you!

Howard Moose

Not a bad episode. Will there be spoofs of other reviewers that do game reviews like the AVGN?

Narse

9/14/2014 05:43:19 am

jillian was AWESOME in this vid (as i knew she would be) and both sarah n' jake have their moments...but brad TOTALLY 'phoned it in'. he's CLEARLY playing that ginger with the massive cowlick from PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE just grown-up...

TheBlondBaka

9/14/2014 10:15:02 am

Damn, when he showed up in the pigeon mask I was hopping he was gonna review Birds Of The Bronx XD

This was a fun episode, might be the funniest yet =D

Handsome James

9/19/2014 09:00:39 pm

Dangit, was hoping an awesome cat-fight between Caroline and Michelle!

Anyways, Nice work on the writing, give everyone my kudos! And tell Jake that his rage sustains my happiness! :D

As usual, rickhead stuff were best. Still all around good episode, what is with drugs in everything? weird. To be honest show have been mixed bag thus far. Also since this is my first comment in new site, great work jillian.

Is anyone else getting an error message when they try to play this?
