For me it's the devotion to the joke... when the map literally says "Google Earth" in the actual font of the map and it looks like it belongs... I lose my shit.
froyo bag is the one with the ring, gamwise "sam" mcgee is his gardener, pinetree and maritime are froyo's friends, strudler (or arid-worm) is the ranger, canned goods is the magician, sour patch kids is the bad magician, barbie is the elf, and chimeny is the vertically challenged one.

well we got - Fandango Britches - Slinky Gameboy - Meeper and Puppy - Gundam the Broken - Legoland Greenpeace - Goomba, son of Glomp - Borderline and - Aggrotank "Slammer", King of the Hill
Pointblankmos well yeah but then we find out that reef ryker and the rest of the phantasm forks created all of google earth in an alternate dimension just to film the movies there with the help of tito jackson.
This was actually incredibly accurate and gave a pretty good summary of the movies. Like the joke was just the names and titles, everything else was completely reliable, and I think that's probably my favourite thing about this. Also Legalize Greenleaf and Fucko. Good shit Neil.
Not completely accurate, there were a few very intentional fumbles of the actual story, such as "Sneaker and his twin brother Colin who lived underwater" (a very confusing interpretation of a split personality), and "sworn to protect Feivel as he went west" (he went southeast). Edit: they also say Gandalf _gave_ Frodo the Ring, when he specifically avoided possessing it because he didn't want to be tempted by its power.
***** I found them kind of dull and empty. Did I watch them wrong? I haven't watched the first one for a decade, and I was nine, so maybe my tastes have changed? Eh, still, I remember them being dull and boring.
cortster12 Yes, there are no other epic fantasy films that come close to the levels LOTR are on. Watch through the extended editions and then see if you still find them dull and empty.

NimbusFilms Howard Shore's masterful soundtrack for the Lord of the Rings trilogy will live on famously forever as one of the greatest film soundtracks of all time; classics such as "The Road Goes Ever On" and "Concerning Hobbits" may stay in people's hearts forever, but my personal favorite and the singular piece that I really think ties it all together is "howtobeamil~1.mid".
I injured my lungs the last time I watched this. I watched this again today, thinking since I've seen it once it won't hurt as much. I totally forgot everything about it. My lungs hurt again.
It's just stupid names in a stupid voice with stupid captions. But the silliness is inventive and diverse and expertly done, and the jokes mesh into a beautiful rhythm. It's a virtuoso performance. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this must care more about looking cool/sophisticated/proper/independent/edgy than enjoying humor.
It’s the same way that patton oswalts comedy is literally entirely just explaining things in super obtuse ways but he still is one of the best out there. Who cares if it’s got a very obvious method if it totally nails it
The phrase "Bunnyman's brother, Funnyman" has lived in my head rent-free since this video originally released 8 years ago. It just appears in my brain at least once a month
@@Dark_Jaguar Neil actually made homestar runner; but he saw the brothers chaps dying on the streets and said "I need to do something.", and gave the brothers chaps Homestar RUnner and a time machine and said "go back, guys. Become famous." he wanted them to only make one homestar runner animation and let Neil keep the rest, but being the evil murderers they were, the brothers chaps stole Homestar Runner.
the subtlety is what sets this apart from other BS 'random' comedy... towards the end when the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" music starts up i fucking died
+OmegaMapDesign The AOL "connecting to the internet" sound every time Eowyn showed up freaking killed me. Between it and the Home's Depot joke I thought I was going to hyperventilate.
'Gondo whisked Pepe to the kingdom of Mario tennis where Lord Disneystore' Of all the lines in this video this one got me the most, please do doctor who next aswell
SpashTheBandragon Tolkien called them "Oliphants" in the books so Sam (I'm guessing you mean in the movies) got it right and yes, they are elephants on steroids. Obviously Tolkien had the power of prophecy, because he named them after Timothy Oliphant who is also tall and handsome.
Leib33 I think the joke in the books was supposed to be that Sam was mispronouncing their names. I'm not a Tolkien enthusiast, though. I'm sure there's some other RU-vid commentator out there with an encyclopedic knowledge of Middle-Earth who could give us a proper answer.
SpashTheBandragon They're called mumakil as primary names. "Oliphants" was a nickname for them. I don't think it was Sam mispronouncing them. Tolkien just took a spin on the word.
Matthew Prousalis got it exactly right. I was, of course, having fun, and yes, I've been a Tolkien enthusiast since around 1968. And I've read all the books starting back then about 9 times. I even like the movies even though they mostly cater to video game addicts
Hairy Parlour and the Fearmonger's Store Horny Peacock and the Camera of Serpents Armpit Otter and the Purse Stealer of Alakazam Iggy Pop and the Gargoyle's Farmer Jerry Parker and the Lord of the Flies Heracross and the Halftine Play Honey Boo Boo and the Goofy Hollows
A good film series all-around, but it's a shame they had to skip out on the Showering of the Scaramouche, where Stormbringer and Grim Fandando took over the Hortons in a thematic reflection of the degeneration inherent in evil...
Why is Earthworm Jim the funniest thing to me in this entire thing “Lord Eggnog gave him a magic sword that proved he was the rightful king of England” IMCRYING
I always appreciate a good recap of the time Littlefoot and his friends journeyed to the Great Valley to end their web ring once and for all before finally taking the great ships to the distant geocities.
Thank you for so expertly recapping The Lorne of the Rings saga! In the past, many of my friends have asked me about the A League Of Their Own series, but now I can simply refer them to this expertly and thoroughly researched video. May the tale of Fraggle Batches and The Bad Ring be told from now until the inevitable heat death of the universe!
"Just ring my bell" Neil predicted all the RU-vidrs asking their audience to ring the bell for notifications. Incredible. I am now convinced he is either a time traveller or an omniscient entity and am afraid for my sanity.
The Fuckdown Unit consisted of Vurping Redskin, a magic minigun; Snafu Worf, a laaaaaady; Saigon Mantits, a mask who likes Castlevania; Dirtpie Ogrefish, who wasn't the Derpy Chief; and Redvines AwesomeSauce, who liked guns and said "Your pretty is good." Don't forget their leader... Licking Snacks.
