Headcanon: The character that Ben plays in this episode and Ben's stylized Commodorehustle persona he plays in current episodes are, in fact, the same person. After his book failed tragically, he changed his name to Ben and now plots, hidden in the crew of LRR, plotting his revenge against the fools who ruined his masterpiece after they wouldn't publish the next great Canadian-but-also-American novel.

In order to avoid legal claims, she changed the main character's name to Zach Meatfist. Despite being officially published by a Canadian, the Zach Meatfist series became considered the next Great American novel after only a week on the shelves. The series also went on to spawn a variety of TV shows and movies. While the actors and plot of the TV series were considered by fans to be only above average, the movies were arguably one of the most popular of its time, rivaled only by the Murdercide Killogy and the Movie Movie's Movie.
"Every man has a breaking point, graham" "Tell me more about building the tiny bridges" "Thats right, shitting my ass inside out with dignity" You guys deserve more subs.
I can't help, but read YOUR comment in Dave's Spokesman's voice. Was this, intentional? Or maybe just existential. In, or out, the tension thick enough to cut with an industrial jigsaw.
I will never, ever get tired of those openings. I find it extremely amusing that people just walk in, assuming you're a prior business, and demand that stuff be done. :D That pringles can antenna was hilarious and horrendous. And Penelope remains utterly adorable.
I'm rewatching this in The Quarantine, and you know, I honestly would love to get taken on a woods adventure with Hustle Ian. He absolutely seems like he knows how to make it a good time.
Head canon: Ian is a government handler for CSIS agents. The previous companies in the lrr place were used as fronts to obtain information from field agents. By reading that book, Kathleen now knows half the launch codes for a secret terrorist missile base in the middle of the Pacific.
I was a little confused about the poor reaction to Ian mentioning he was going to get them pork for dinner, since that was probably the only thing so far that - from the crew's perspective - shouldn't be a bad thing. Then I realized Cam was the only one with a bad reaction (that I noticed), and he's a vegetarian.
Bengineering!!! Wow - first I got to see Ian's start, now Ben's! Bengineering is the only "Ben" with LRR that I know, so far, but I still need to call him that, just so I don't get confused, later. He really has a gift for being disturbing but very funny, at the same time. :)
Please, please, PLEASE keep going with this storyline. I want to see the LRR crew's attempt to navigate the wilderness and reach civilization once again!
Oh my god, the baby at the end was soooooo adorabel. Trying to escape the box :D ahhhh soo sweet ^.^ I wish you and Graham and the baby all the lucky in the world Kathleen!
YES! A new cHustle, just what I need to wrap up my September. Even better, Bengineering is in it now! *returning after watching* Wow, the writing on this one was really crisp and very funny. Well done, guys!
That cut at 2:45 was a bit abrupt. Still, always love some new cH! And the sad part is that novel probably would actually have a decent chance of becoming a best seller.
Yeah, I'm wondering if it was an audio issue that Graham agonized before giving up and saying he couldn't fix it... or if it was something that got screwed up in the CZcams conversion.
Yes, the only people that have a continent to themselves are Australians. Everyone else has to share. Hence, Europeans, Asians, Africans, Americans. (yes, north and south america, but... both are called America.) The other continent basically isn't inhabited, so... Whatever. That does raise a question about New Zealand though - It's way too far out to reasonably be called part of Asia, but it's clearly not logically part of Australia either. So... Where does it belong exactly?
New Zealand is an island floating about continentless, its actually part of its own continental shelf geologically (most of it is underwater) but is too small for us to consider it a continent geographically. This is unlike the British Isles which are in fact connected by their continental shelf to France and the Netherlands so it is fine to call that Europe in my opinion, its not an Hawaii/America situation. I think most interesting is Papua New Guinea which is definitely part of the Australian continent geologically speaking but I don't think anyone really recognizes it from a geographical perspective.
You don't need to include power outlets in order to wire a cabin for electric lights. My parents have friends who have a cabin with electric lights connected to a generator, but no power outlets or running water. It's not that far-fetched.
So is every cH episode from now on just going to open with a person mistakenly trying to reach a previous tennant? So far, we've had a reference to someone trying to contact Crystal's Crystals, whatever business Raymond Steacy was trying to contact, Luigi's Laundry Lounge, and now Rando Publishing House (I feel like I'm forgetting one).
Next episode: the horror film that happened that night as they were picked off one by one at the hands (claws?) of all the Pokemon they had trapped in GO.
For guys who were making jokes at poor Ben's use of commas, you guys should really be using an apostrophe at the end of Saunders'. Unless you are referring to a singular Saunders, of such power and import that it merits referring to him by only his second name.
I love how he states that there are no electricity while the image is perfectly framed with a ceiling light hanging right in the golden ratio. I guess all the lamps are just for decorations?
I mean, I would buy that if it wasn't for the fact that there's a LOT of different lamps in other angels... Though that is interesting information. Gotta love solar panels
Well, reserving solar power for lights can be useful in cabins also because light bulbs usually can handle variations in the electric system, while electronics usually hate that. I've been in several unpowered cabins with lights run by solar power, where the only other electrical appliance was a battery powered radio.
Wait im confused. I thought CommodoreHustle was a series with a separate continuity LRR had been sponsored to do some time past, anyone care fill me in on what it actually is?
commodoreHUSTLE has never been sponsored. *Friday Nights* is a side-story of cH that we produce for Wizards of the Coast, which is basically this show but focussed entirely on Magic. This series dates back to 2008: loadingreadyrun.com/videos/archive/cHustle

I could totally see that as a legit plot contrivance for cH.

@Rytel and @Dapper Blook Headcannon accepted.
She will never steal him from me. Randy Hardmeat will rise again.
Are we really not using "phrasing"?
"Every man has a breaking point, graham"
"Tell me more about building the tiny bridges"
"Thats right, shitting my ass inside out with dignity"
You guys deserve more subs.
And that's just Cam being Cam. He does all of his work ad-lib.
(that's not true)
loadingreadyrun who's voice do I read this in?
Humbert cumberdale Cam's, obviously.
@@hubertcumberdale7241Yes
Whoever wrote Cam's lines needs to keep writing them. So perfect.
I don't think anyone writes his lines, I think that's just Cam.
I think you just hit it on the nail
I've suddenly begun to question if I'm using commas, properly.
Screw, that, Kathleen's, not, the, boss, of, me!,
Kathleen!!
I see what you did there.
I don't, know if I'm doing, but who is to say. One thing I do know? The sun!
I can't help, but read YOUR comment in Dave's Spokesman's voice. Was this, intentional? Or maybe just existential. In, or out, the tension thick enough to cut with an industrial jigsaw.
As an aspiring professional writer, I'd kill for that kind of confidence.
I hope 4 years have served you well and you're now published and wealthy... or at least published :)
All I want now is a new series of Kathleen reading the adventures of Randy in various random locals.
Still it would be hella awesome
That sounds like a challenge.
For Desert Bus.
As one of the many victims of Australian internet, I can confirm that watching a gif load frame-by-frame has a magic all of its own.
I will never, ever get tired of those openings. I find it extremely amusing that people just walk in, assuming you're a prior business, and demand that stuff be done. :D
That pringles can antenna was hilarious and horrendous.
And Penelope remains utterly adorable.
"And all of us could stay there?"
"Plenty of room!"
Ian is a liar.
I'm rewatching this in The Quarantine, and you know, I honestly would love to get taken on a woods adventure with Hustle Ian. He absolutely seems like he knows how to make it a good time.
Head canon: Ian is a government handler for CSIS agents. The previous companies in the lrr place were used as fronts to obtain information from field agents. By reading that book, Kathleen now knows half the launch codes for a secret terrorist missile base in the middle of the Pacific.

Then I realized Cam was the only one with a bad reaction (that I noticed), and he's a vegetarian.
Oh god, the traumatised look on Alex's face when they're in the cabin. That's amazing.
Alex is definitely a solid leader for the "best facial expressions of all time" awards.
Alex is definitely the most expressive of the crew imo.
Alex has had years of practice producing expressions and vocalizations of distress from being on Watch+Play
He's also a great backup airhorn.
I see the baby has outgrown the original shelf.
Also I really want a cabin like that.
Penelope is so sweet! The stinger melted my heart. :)
As a copy editor myself, I 100% met Ben's character IRL. Maybe more than once.
risk your lives? it's just a 2/2 you guys can take the bears.
Yeah, but none of them are 2/1, and even then no first strike.
I think they are mostly 0/1. Maybe 0/2.
Surprised Ian did not choose to ruin the moment by saying that they came together as a team or something
We didn't feel we needed to spell it out :)
fair enough
Tell me more about building the tiny bridges.
Bengineering!!! Wow - first I got to see Ian's start, now Ben's! Bengineering is the only "Ben" with LRR that I know, so far, but I still need to call him that, just so I don't get confused, later. He really has a gift for being disturbing but very funny, at the same time. :)
Please, please, PLEASE keep going with this storyline. I want to see the LRR crew's attempt to navigate the wilderness and reach civilization once again!
Oh my god, the baby at the end was soooooo adorabel. Trying to escape the box :D ahhhh soo sweet ^.^
I wish you and Graham and the baby all the lucky in the world Kathleen!
Graham on Segway just makes me think of nunchuck nuts 2.0
i wanted Graham on Segway to be the stinger
Penelope is really digging that box.
This is some of the best Cam scenes! I can't stop re-watching the poison berries scene!
Graham’s “PLEASE NO!” suggests that he’s heard more about Randy Hardmeat than he wants to already.
Whoever wrote the bit about an "honor system pork fridge" is doing some really good work.
YES! A new cHustle, just what I need to wrap up my September.
Even better, Bengineering is in it now!
*returning after watching* Wow, the writing on this one was really crisp and very funny. Well done, guys!
OMG, this was probably the best CH ever, its so great. Awesome work guys!
Aside from 2:45 cutoff seeming a bit ... cut off, this was yet another great episode. Can't wait for the next one.
Honestly spending some time with friends in one of these cottages sounds like a hell of a time
"I agree with... MOST of what you said" Loved the episode, and the stealth OSW Review reference
That cut at 2:45 was a bit abrupt. Still, always love some new cH! And the sad part is that novel probably would actually have a decent chance of becoming a best seller.
Yeah, I'm wondering if it was an audio issue that Graham agonized before giving up and saying he couldn't fix it... or if it was something that got screwed up in the CZcams conversion.
i didn't notice it until reading this.
I wonder if Kathleen was meant to cut Graham off there
Yay another video!
all I can say is aww to that stinger Penelope is getting so big
the thumbnail is so nice. it compels me to rewatch the video everytime i see it.
I know I’m 2 years late but the Segway segway was absolutely brilliant
I want an un-amused James poster, for motivation.
Thoroughly excellent as always. Ian's insertion into CH is only getting better!
Writing, editing, acting, AND delivery on this ep: 👌🔥💯💯💯
Geographically Canadians are certainly Americans, as are Venezuelans, but not Hawaiians.
Yes, the only people that have a continent to themselves are Australians.
Everyone else has to share.
Hence, Europeans, Asians, Africans, Americans. (yes, north and south america, but... both are called America.)

I think most interesting is Papua New Guinea which is definitely part of the Australian continent geologically speaking but I don't think anyone really recognizes it from a geographical perspective.
Papua New Guinea used to be part of Australia before it became independent.
Great reference to an older LRR video
Actually, Australia and the assorted islands are called Oceania now.
was that a promised LAN joke?
yes
Guys: Deliberately trying to write something worse than _The Eye of Argon_... That way madness lays.
I don't think they were aiming for Eye of Argon levels of bad, just "terrible Mary Sue self-insert fanfiction" levels of bad.
I love the cut back to Ian with the bedroll out of nowhere, great job!
why is there was no power outlets yet a electric light behind him in the first shot, immersion ruined
You don't need to include power outlets in order to wire a cabin for electric lights. My parents have friends who have a cabin with electric lights connected to a generator, but no power outlets or running water. It's not that far-fetched.

I mean, is that a bad thing? I'm sure they'll move on before the joke really overstays it's welcome.
Now that commodoreHUSTLE is back, Randy Hardmeat needs to make a re-appearance!
Cam's lines in this was just too much xD too f**king funny
So when will the Novel Hovel be getting the newest Randy Hardmeat in?
Now I need to hear Edith Slump reading the adventures of Randy Hardmeat.
I can't wait for the crossover with Tuggernuts.
Solemn Howler "Get Randy, Tugger Nutts"
I wish this was monthly I love this series it is the best.
Is it weird that Penelope already looked a bit like Graham at this point?
Finally another commodore hustle
Best one yet
i love that cabin with my whole heart, i want to live and die there
Good news! There's enough poisonous berries to share!
Unfortunately I ate the berries and they we not poisonous. 0/10 will not die again
Hell yeah, new cHustle! Best birthday present ever
I can't wait to see the Loading Time for this. It'll be amazing, I wager.
Question - do only Graham and Kathleen write? or do the other characters modify the wording a bit, like in the case of Cam?
Interesting. So Ben began as just one of the weird people at the door.
This feels like yesterday. I wish we can get new episodes soon!
I kinda was hoping for more of that. hahaha.
Has anyone...picked up..on the absolutely subtle joke that is, Ian Horner. HORNER. He Horned his way into LRR. Holy shit that is clever
It looks like what was a simple vacation has been retroactively turned into location scouting.
Remember that when filing your taxes. ;)
I'd call that team-building success story.
best prop ever
6:20 onwards...That pure dread in alex eyes, beautiful.
Alex clutching the shovel in horror...best.
So would the primal scream therapy imply a connection between Qwerpline and cH?
The baby at the end looks like Graham.
_P[-]4NT0M_ its graham's baby
Cam has such a way with words.
Hopefully they filmed the beginning of the PAX East 2015 Crapshot while they were at the cabin.
Penelope's all, "Yo, fuck this, I'm out."
It's crazy how long LRR has been doing this.
God, I really do need to print off those Pringles can instructions sooner rather than later.
"...and building tiny toothpick replicas of the Akashi Kaikyo bridge with your ears."
Say what now?
Peers.
Ah. Less interesting, but more sensible. Thank you.
Next episode: the horror film that happened that night as they were picked off one by one at the hands (claws?) of all the Pokemon they had trapped in GO.
Holy crap, I didn't realize how much I missed the sketches until I heard that theme tune.
I know, righ? So much N O S T A L G I A
It's my text ringtone.
Last time I was this early, there wasn't someone who had already posted a last time I was this early joke.
Yay Ben!
I really want to see a feature length version of this.
After listening to the Paladin of Shadows series.... I listen to that novel.
when will ben finally release his manuscript
Can i Consider from a head-canon point that this is basically Shame-Inferno Woods Edition?
Those berries would make a good all-natural ingredient for toothpaste.
Pork fridge reference! I got that!
Having Ben before he was there is a perfect decision.
Yay! Mo' hustle!
For guys who were making jokes at poor Ben's use of commas, you guys should really be using an apostrophe at the end of Saunders'. Unless you are referring to a singular Saunders, of such power and import that it merits referring to him by only his second name.
In the credits? That's thanks to "The Saunders Family", so no apostrophe is needed.
+Tom Magennis ..........uh.
Is Randy Hardmeat a cousin of Slab Bulkhead?
No, but he is the distant relative of Zach Meatfist.
I always figured that Randy Hardmeat was nissa's fursona.
*collective groan*
I love how he states that there are no electricity while the image is perfectly framed with a ceiling light hanging right in the golden ratio. I guess all the lamps are just for decorations?
There are cabins that use a small solar panel to fuel a single light source, but no electrical sockets.
I mean, I would buy that if it wasn't for the fact that there's a LOT of different lamps in other angels... Though that is interesting information. Gotta love solar panels
Well, reserving solar power for lights can be useful in cabins also because light bulbs usually can handle variations in the electric system, while electronics usually hate that.
I've been in several unpowered cabins with lights run by solar power, where the only other electrical appliance was a battery powered radio.
Aren't there at least 2 cars outside? Or did Ian take those keys.
Wait im confused. I thought CommodoreHustle was a series with a separate continuity LRR had been sponsored to do some time past, anyone care fill me in on what it actually is?
commodoreHUSTLE has never been sponsored. *Friday Nights* is a side-story of cH that we produce for Wizards of the Coast, which is basically this show but focussed entirely on Magic.
This series dates back to 2008: loadingreadyrun.com/videos/archive/cHustle
This and Friday Nights are by far my favorite content. Love your work guys
Why were they scared of bears, Graham could have just punched the bears like he usually does.
Not to be picky but if there's no electricity why is there a hanging lamp in the background? Actually that's very picky.
please tell me there is a full version of that book
When babies and cats steal a show.
so when will randy's tales of adventure be published?
Wasn't the old lunch go to place close for a Team Bonding Retreat from the Summer Episode?
The stinger makes me want to call the Ministry... She's going to need years of therapy now.
