      I feel the exact opposite. Each cut-away did... exactly that, it took me out of the game. Their performances in the cutaways were also missing all of the passion they usually put into their normal work.
      It just felt like they were pushing a brand, instead of making content, which... is probably why they did it.

      Honestly though, watch other recordings from other shows. They deliver engaging performances while making their choices, and it rocks. It's engaging because it's not a cut-away with props.

      its a business to them at this point. its not as easy as just putting somebody in the team just cause you see him act here all the time. vldl has already gone through losing team members down to just Alan + Rowan in the past. Even just adding Adam was a huge step.

    • @aj-sz8mu
      @aj-sz8mu Před 3 lety +25

      @Pete Mason go waayyy back to their oldest videos. where they parodied songs. there were 5 of them, none of which is adam. some of those members quit for reasons i dont remember. not much success or how theyd split income and such or something. when it was just alan and rowan left in the team, adam joined in. thats also around the time they started gaining traction with epic npc man. i assume due to the difficulties theyve gone through with their previous 5 man team, they're most likely trying to be careful at what theey do, especially now that they are way way way more popular than bak then.

    • @aj-sz8mu
      @aj-sz8mu Před 3 lety +9

      @Pete Mason Uhh please do let me know how you know that. Cause I definitely havent seen an old video/mention of Adam in their past videos. And just so I am not just "making stuffs up", I went ahead and googled it for you.
      thespinoff.co.nz/games/10-01-2017/how-to-become-famous-on-youtube-in-five-easy-steps/
      Number 2 & 3 has most of the info we're talking about. Please read, so i can let you know of what i know.
      And I quote, "There was at least a year there where it was just me and Alan"
      As far as I can tell in any of the timeline/videos/interviews/articles I have seen. Adam was not involved in the beginning of VLDL. He joined them much after the fallout.

    We should get s backstory about why Baradoon portals to give Greg the finger everyday lol. Something that beomes pertinent to the story line at some point.
    You think he hates Greg but it's actually a blessing he casts everyday to keep his favorite garlic farmer safe because he knows Greg is important to the future of more than Honeywood. . Or something like that
