    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.

    • @Nat_the_Chicken

      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.

      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.

    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.

    Man, watching this back made me realise just how many people in this film series went onto other things.
    For example, the guy who played Lord Disneystore was a major character in the sci-fi drama "French Toast", Legalize Greenleaf's actor went onto become Turner Broadcasting Company for the "Fox's Pirates of the Pan" series (except the fourth one, "Loose Lips Sink Ships") and Grotum's actor is now CINAR in the celebrated blockbuster film series "Ape Escapes".
