What's a "vdieogame?"

I kid, I know what it is.
(But you might want to correct it).

Congrats.

I was absolutely blown away by the quality of this video. So many moments of sheer brilliance. I shall be quoting it for weeks to come.

"You can speak Japanese?" "No, but I can read."

Congratulations, you lot! Very well deserved.

The Chris Slack reference about him sucking...well, you know...was awesome. I nearly fell off my seat.

Seems I'm in the minority - didn't laugh at all.

Nice try, but IMO not really in the same league as Unskippable.

This is one of the funnist things I've watched in a long time. If you don't make more I'll kill you. Really, "The game is over. I'm really going to shoot you." if you don't make more videos.
"Good Job!" to anyone who knows where that quotes from.
"Better job!" to these guys for makeing this video.
Better job, video people!

Awesome job, and well deserved! It started slow, but once it got going there were enough hilarious references and in jokes to make Dennis Miller jealous. And I mean that in a good way :P

Far better than the sub-YouTube fodder of the other winner. Congratulations.

I burst out laughing with the "they set us up the bomb"

and the "solid snake at your backdoor"

Epic. Totally deserve this award. Can't wait to see more.

This. I can see why one might find it funny, but to me making fun of a medium's tropes and cliches is a little boring.

Eep! Good luck putting that together every week!

It's a great concept which has a lot of potential. Depending on your filming schedule, you also have the opportunity to make references to recent events in the same way as South Park (i.e. that they can reference something which only occurred days prior).

Congrats. I'll definitely be watching this series.

The red-headed guy reminds me a bit of Nick Frost...

But anyway, wonderful video; the explosion effects were the shit.
