      We Remotely Low Unlikely, because this was filmed in his old house before he moved to his current one.

  • @nammm3
    @nammm3 Před 8 lety +147

    Mike's effort and passion into the characters he plays for James is so appreciable! His rendition of characters like the Joker and Bugs Bunny/Woody Woodpecker were pure comedy :-DDD

  • @michaelboydston313

      I wonder why nobody ever offered Mike a role of Mr. Hankey in any South Park movie... :[ ...

    • @bulletfmv22797
      @bulletfmv22797 Před 6 lety +9

      Pedro Sepulveda That makes no sense. South park parodies mainstream events and popular people. Just by doing that, South park brings people more into reality than other somewhat similar show. "When someone likes something that i don't like, i resort to calling them children. Easily becoming the very thing i use to talk down to others" How about instead of making yourself look like an ass and a hyprocrite, you live and let live?

    @RoundShades Před 9 lety +18

    Oh, so the lion at the beginning of this episode. it was added to the start of the video, based on the info following it, as well as the fact that it literally numbers the roars, JUST to sync up Dark Side of the Moon to it. Gagh, dammit, now I gotta go do it :(

    "Giving Dorothy the ruby slippers makes her the target of the Witch."
    No...killing the Witch of the East made her the target. The ruby slippers protected her.

    • @kingbyrd.1512
      @kingbyrd.1512 Před 4 lety

      Well that does make her the only person who could kill the witch, since she's protected. So In the end it would make her a threat to the witch.

    • @Xanthemew
      @Xanthemew Před 9 lety +46

      James might use the DVD version of the episode which mostly contains additional stuff or removes things (like copyrighted film material).

    • @handsomebrick
      @handsomebrick Před 6 lety +13

      I seem to recall that he made a commentary for the original version of this episode, where he said outright that he designed this video to sync up with Pink Floyd. So he decided to just put that in the video now, I guess.

  • @JuanG2020
    @JuanG2020 Před 11 měsíci +1

    I actually decided to watch this episode while listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album, and found it to be pretty cool how you managed to match some parts of the video with the songs and their lyrics. When "Time" started and then I saw a clock in the game, I thought "Whoa! No way!" Lol.
    I will definitely have to watch the Wizard of Oz with the album playing. Always love all of your fun facts. These, and the history lessons you include, are just the icing on the cakes that are your great videos.

    Watching this with Dark Side of the Moon. The only sync ups I heard for sure was the lemon drops and the clock, maybe "show me the way" syncing up with "there's no place like home" on the screen?

  • @DerFliegendeMocca
    @DerFliegendeMocca Před 7 lety +3

    Well, that was a waste of time to set up my cd player, sync the video and watch the episode again. Did it work with anyone? Of course, some jumps were more or less synced, and there were really small easter eggs like "run rabbit run" and you see the white rabbit. But the "on the run" and "time" was more or less waiting for something to happen. But all i saw were people jumping randomly, random cuts, random "events" that didn't match the music. And I guess i timed it within 0,2 seconds of reaction time.
    Cool idea, but either the version he used is different than the album or the syncronisation is not perfectly clear/forgiving.

    • @dshaprin
      @dshaprin Před 5 lety

      I listened it with the Remestered version, but it didn't work. He said time 3 times in the video, and I suppose that it should be synced with the word time in the song time, but I was still on On the run by then.

    • @oneweelr27
      @oneweelr27 Před 9 lety +36

      Might be because they are one of the best bands ever. Maybe they were super genius's in music and recording. Maybe they wrote lyrics that challenged the listener. Maybe they used ambient sounds to drag the listener in, and harsh emotional solos on so many god damn instruments to make the listener feel the pain of the song. Or maybe, your ears suck.

      oneweelr27 The fuck are you even saying? Everything you are saying is subjective.
      * harsh emotional solos * Holy fuck kid.
      * feel the pain of the song * so like feeling the pain of the nerd playing this game? is that how bad their songs are?

    Anyone else think of Michael Jackson when he says "too high to jump over and too low to walk under" ??

    This episode does sync up well with Dark side of the moon. I wish everything did.

    Does any one know what version it is supposed to sync up with? it sort of works with the original, but what about the re-mix/remaster?
