I'm fairly certain this is what happened with the English dub of Samurai Pizza Cats as well, but maybe the original Japanese was just that loving wacky?

See exactly what I posted above, they didn't have scripts and had to improvise.

Anonymous Zebra: Oct 21, 2005; Blending in like it ain't no thang

I haven't watched a ton of RLM, but using a Rich Evans clip as proof of racism is kind of weak since I'm pretty sure the whole point of having Rich on the show is because he is this dumbass they can ply with alcohol to embarrass himself repeatedly all while he has only the barest inkling that perhaps he is actually the butt of all the jokes. My citation is the entire "Undefeatable" episode which is probably one of the funnier things those guys have made.

EDIT: If they all had British accents you wouldn't be able to distinguish him from Karl Pilkington.

Disney's Jack and the Beanstalk film Gigantic has been shelved. I've only heard vague things about this one so no clue how far along it got in development

No, he seems pretty aware of it. He's gotten more and more visibly depressed about his lot as time has gone on.

"He can be plied with alcohol until he makes a fool of himself (by saying something Racist)' is not a terribly convincing argument against him being racist.

I like how no one actually bothers responding to the whole specific you know, sayin black kids don't need toys that look like them take it from us old white nerds...just like "DO YA EVEN WATCH RLM???" "RLM JUST OWNS LOL!!!!", "HEY THEY LIKED THIS MOVIE WITH BLACK PEOPLE IN IT DUDE!!!"
gosh I wonder why...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
hmmmmmmm

anyway to throw something more on topic in here I guess. now that they're getting Joker man for Hugh Hefner I guess they gotta get his comic book lady in as one of his wives. guess audiences just can't get enough Jared +Magot? Beats me

quote:

Just a week after it was announced that RatPac Entertainment's Hugh Hefner Biopic will star Jared Leto as Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, another report claims the actor may be joined by a very familiar partner in crime. The method actor's Suicide Squad co-star Margot Robbie is considering an offer to play one of Hugh Hefner's wives in the movie, although it isn't clear which wife she'll play. Ironically, the actress turned down an offer from the real Hugh Hefner to appear in his Playboy Magazine, but this offer is one she's actually considering. Here's what an unidentified source had to say about Margot Robbie taking on the role.

"Margot turned the offer down before but this is different. She's considering it. Jared is working on the movie with his buddy Brett and they're really pushing for Margot to have a major role. She's perfect for a part and he's not going to give up until she accepts."
Unfortunately, this report doesn't reveal which of Hugh Hefner's three wives Margot Robbie would ultimately play in this biopic. He married Mildred Williams in 1949, at the age of 23, whom he had two children with, Christie Hefner and David Paul Hefner. They divorced in 1959, six years after the first issue of Playboy Magazine was published, and he didn't marry again for 40 more years, when in 1989, at the age of 63, he married the 1989 Playmate Of the Year, Kimberly Conrad, who he had two more children with, Cooper Hefner and Marston Hefner. They divorced in 1998, with Hefner marrying his final wife, Crystal Harris, another Playmate, in 2012. They remained married until Hugh Hefner passed away at the age of 91 last month.

This project has been in various stages of development for years, with writer Diablo Cody once attached to write the script, way back in 2009. Director David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) was attached to direct back in 2013, from a script by Peter Morgan, with Robert Downey Jr. once being sought to play Hefner, whom David Dobkin directed in the 2014 drama The Judge. It isn't ultimately clear if Peter Morgan's script is still being used, or if another writer has been brought in for a new draft.

After both Jared Leto and Margot Robbie played the supervillain couple Joker and Harley Quinn in last year's Suicide Squad, there has been talk that both stars could be teaming up on a few different projects. Aside from Suicide Squad 2, which is now happening with director Jaume Collet-Serra, Warner Bros. is also developing Joker Vs. Harley Quinn, which Margot Robbie described last month as a love story that is, "kind of romantic in a messed up way."

I support more DC movies with VERSUS in their names

disney shut down some movie I didn't know they were doing. guess it was some jack and the beanstalk poo poo.
also Sly's doing Creed 2 but I guess that was always gonna be a given.

At least those things are actual movies and not just nerds talking about the validity of other nerds tallking about movies and whether or not they are racist and/or make up for it in other terrible videos.
