I just saw it on the site. When I saw Joss' name in the credits, I tried to figure out which sketch he was in...then his sketch showed up. I'll never look at the old Mutant Enemy logo the same way again. Classic!!
But I wonder if JJ Abrams will try to get his Bad Robot a cameo on the show?
The funny thing about "Grr. Argh." is that I've now seen so many Whedon shows on the bigscreen at the Mission Theater, that I can only hear it in my head being said by 200 people at once.
Does anyone think that Joss' atheism or insufficient cheeriness hurts him with the mainstream suits? If you don't know why I'm saying this, listen to the ending again.
On another issue, I wonder about all the jokes about males fearing comparisons to women and gays. The worst/funniest thing is for a man to be dressed like a woman or mistaken for a woman. (But girls can wear male costumes without other girls harassing them.) And the idea that a man might be gay is done as a joke, too.
If this is making fun of guys who are uncomfortable with women and gays, do the guys watching it get that? Or, do they sit there thinking, "Yeah, how gay! Hahahaha. He had to wear pink! Damn, that's the worst. Hahahahaha!"
Uh...has anyone besides myself and Lioness had problems viewing this? Cuz all I get the is Sonic ad twice before an error message shows up. Any way to see this on YouTube or Veoh?
Well, I finally got it to work and lo and behold, before the credits roll it went back to the advert which I think I may have seen 6.3 million times then choked (yet again) on loading.
Consequently i've no idea whether Joss was funny or not but man, I could murder a burrito.
(the BSG skit was good, and the Worst Halloween had some laughs, especially at the end)
This was fraktastic. I, too, was wondering if I'd missed Joss's voice in one of the skits, then the final scene had me laughing out loud.
Did anyone else notice in the production credits, that Supergirl was credited as Sarah Gellar? LOL
jlp beat me to it - yeah, every episode has both Sarah and Mila Kunis credited with some hilarious moniker - even if their voices aren't actually in the episode. But they are in quite a few of the sketches - especially in season one.
Thanks for the clarification, jlp and clarkkent179. I can't believe I've never taken the time to look at the credits on the show before! I had also noticed Mila Kunis credited at Wonder Woman just after Sarah's credit!
I can't help but smile thinking how great it is that so many of the Buffy vets are staying in touch and continuing to work together on some level. They are clearly having lots of fun, so it's a credit to Joss' and his team's casting abilities--they found talented actors who are nice, too!
Well, I've tried many times now and it just doesn't work for me, it just shows me the ad again and again. Is this the latest episode as aired? I watch Robot Chicken most weeks, so I'll just catch it on the next torrent if it is.
While the Grr, Argh! bit at the end was fantastic, my favorite sketch by far was the Rainbow Brite one. I think I actually squealed a little when I saw they were referencing her origin story, which is one of my favorite bits of animation from my childhood. Oh Wisp...
This was enjoyable in so many ways for so many reasons. The Argh Monster & Atheist Joss stuff was wonderful... And that was "SOME ADVERTISING PIG." "Rainbow Brite" also brightened up my day.
Wow, Tahmoh Penikett ("Lt. Karl C. 'Helo' Agathon"), Tahmoh Penikett ("Lt. Karl C. 'Helo' Agathon") and Katee Sackoff ("Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace") all appeared. The second I heard Hogan's voice, I was willing to bet serious cashy-type money that it was he - in the BSG scene and elsewhere. He has an unmistakable way of pronouncing certain syllables, and that voice was hitting all of 'em.
No problem playing the clips - good fun all around.
I couldn't open it on adultswim either.
However, the YouTube link from orphea worked. Thanks!
That was freakin' priceless, and just how I always imagined Joss in his office- playing around on the floor with his 'grr argh' monster and (not shown) his figures.
The second I heard Hogan's voice, I was willing to bet serious cashy-type money that it was he - in the BSG scene and elsewhere.
"Ah Sato, you're fantastically offensive" tipped me in Pt 2, definitely Michael Hogan's voice on that one I reckon (funny too ;) - he has one of the more distinctive voices on the show, maybe cos he has the most pronounced Canadian accent ?
And Joss with "Grrr ... Aaaargh" the director's cut, most amusing. Also, can I just say well done to Joel Silver for taking a stand against the forces of evil ? Close one, cheers big fella.
