    From hanging pictures to repairing precious movie props, Red Letter Media is generally bad at most things. In this video, we chronicle several of the random projects that we work on in between filming and editing our normal videos. Chaos ensues.

      I just got out of HAKEA Remand centre in West Australia . Maximum security.
      Even devoid of electronics, regular gen pop cells are worse than this. Solitary confinement is only a fraction worse, because you can't hang yourself.
      Seeing that door at the start, the colour, the plexiglass, multiple panels on a single door... I recommend everyone spend a few days in such a place to make you love life again.
      Cured my depression. Heard someone caught in razor wire screaming and pleading for help as they bled out above us.
      Why am I writing this here? Because you don't know how good your shitty life is until everyone and everything in it is taken away from you, and you spend your days trying to work out how to kill yourself.
      All because someone made an allegation with zero evidence, and I didn't have $15000 to bail / bond myself out.
      I spent years watching RLM, hot ones, 8 bit guy depressed as fuck . Don't be.
      I lost half my family to these false allegations because "you seem the type to do that".
      Live. Please.
      Surround yourself with positive people that you care about and whom also care as much about you.
      Don't settle for what you're used to.
      When you've lost everything, you can go anywhere and be whoever you want.

    Dear friends, I discovered upon reading the description of the auction we won, Baby Bink's neck condition was indeed disclosed by the good folks at Propstore! - "It exhibits visibly torn silicone throughout the hands and neck, and its ears have ripped off from age." - We still love our Baby Bink. He's a perfect little baby with robot parts inside him. We will get him working as he's a robot Bink. If/When more Binks come up for auction we will aggressively pursue ownership of them. We trust in the quality of items offered by Propstore.com and that the description of the items is fair and accurate. We will have the world's largest collection of Baby Binks on Earth.

  • @patrickreadjohnson_moonwatcher

    I should really dig out my old dailies from the film so you can see some of the torture those Baby Binks went through. Like the time I wrapped the stunt dummy version you bought in a blanket and came out of the twin baby actors' trailer, carrying "him", and then, (to the delight of the spectator crowd standing across State Street in Chicago), started lifting him up in the air, higher and higher, then slightly tossing him a little higher still... and catching him-- and the crowd is loving it... and then I start throwing him even higher... and then a LOT higher... and now the people aren't so delighted... and, soon I'm tossing little Bink, like 15 feet up, and decide to make a one-handed catch of Bink's left arm which I then used to spin him like the end of a windmill blade, a few times around, until releasing him, so that he flies like 30 feet into the air-- whereupon-- (right on cue) one of my A.D.s calls my name, distracting me, and, to the horrified SCREAMS of the crowd across the street, Baby Bink lands head-first on the sidewalk!
    Fun times!

      what I always found charming about rlm is that most of them, professionally, are behind the scenes guys. Mostly editors, doing some voice spots, Jack does some writing, Jim and Colin do vfx, so on and so forth. They don't really like to boast their craft unless it's relevant, I don't know if they still do anymore but I remember the rlm guys talking about mostly doing freelance editing jobs as a source of income. It was really cool because you never hear them talk about it much.
      But then you get to Rich Fucking Evans. Did he specifically design every aspect of the sets? Maybe not. But he built them, definitely with help but you know with his experience he was the one in charge of building sets. He built the Wheel of the Worst and he rubs it in as a joke because they keep wrecking it. But you never really hear him brag about making the ground the entire cast is literally standing on. Imagine Half in the Bag without the Plinkett house set. He fumbles his words and does the funny fall and scream, and he is a craftsman of great merit.

    That recording booth reminds me of the soundproof room in my high school. They went to all this effort to put up foam sound dampening, only to realise they weren't able to reroute power outlets into it. So they then cut a hole in the wall about the size of a letterbox and fed extension cords through it from the next room over, the actual music classroom. So all this sound of people messing around with keyboards in the classroom bled into whatever was being recorded in there.

    Genuinely loved watching the DIY projects, please post more videos like this. It's entertaining and interesting, especially when things go wrong. That VHS tape looked dope and I hope we get to see the coffee table one day, when Rich remembers his responsibilities

    This was better than any HGTV home renovation show. Can't wait for the Christmas special 🙌

    Rich is the glue that binds us all together, like the Force.

    I’ve been a carpenter for some years and I have to say that rich evans is a very talented carpenter. I can’t believe one of these 3 aren’t a total talentless hack.
    Edit: just watched more, wow jokes aside that vhs project was really impressive. Great job.

      Local 46 Carpenter here, i agree (although when i see Rich working without safety glasses, i worry something will fling into his eye)

    Rich’s unending handiness never fails to impress

    Yall should ask Adam Savage if he'd be willing or able to come out to you guys, and see if he'd be willing to film a restoration of the gremlin. Could turn it into an easy bit. Get him for the gremlin, and an episode of best of the worst, where Adam brings a collection of his best of the worst favorites.

      Yo this is a killer idea that will never happen.

      I don't think adam does restoration, however I'm sure he probably knows a few people who do.

    You know Richard Evans is the Wisconsin neighbor who helps out with any housework you were intending to do. Just insists that he help out. And ends up making an entire thing of it.

    Never laughed so hard than at Freddie sketching the Dick the birthday boy photos from memory.

    Honestly kind of shocked that the poster bit didn't end with Mike throwing a hammer through the poster

    Man even doing silicone molds for small objects for me was hellish but doing that giant VHS?? Nuts! This could be its own series if it's not already.

      He says it's for a voice over, but we all know it's because of his declining mental health
