Highlander: Anime Vs. Real Life!
🕑 Added 2018-01-19 08:26:00 +0000 UTC ooooohhh shiiiiiiit It's the penultimate episode of season 2, where is this clusterfuck going? What's gonna happen? Do you understand life?In this episode we take a look at the 1980-something classic film The Highlander. THEN we take a look at the much worse anime adaptation Highlander Something Something Vengeance. Which is the Pleeb? Which is the Weeb? The answer may surprise you, except it won't. The movie is obviously better than the anime. I guess I just spoiled the episode but let's face it, this show stopped being about whatever bullshit we're supposed to be discussing right around the time i first burst linked into the Ham Dimension.
One thing's for sure, Hamboi don't feel too good. Depression hurts, but a premonition of pain yet to come can hurt even more. Who wants to live forever? Ask the Endless one, he with the crystal ball brain existing at two points in time at once. Infinite Idiot, Immortal outlaw, Intrepid Tramp, the King in the Gutter with the Digital Brother.
At Rock Bottom he dwells knowing well it's a lie, his dude's all deluded to look to the sky. He alone can see the truth, what they call Rock Bottom is The Furnace Room's roof. He sits in the set as he sits at his desk, mapping it out as it weighs on his chest, and leads him to dance with the marionettes on strings called the things he projects and expects.
He sits in the past and he watches the sands, and he waits for the hole in the roof to expand, and swallow the souls of the Boi and the Bro, an Endless abyss that you don't even know.
What's to become of our Pleeb and our Weeb? Are they breaking? Or waking? Or aching to feed? What's that smell? Makin smoke in the air. Bacon baking black in the electric chair. Baby back stack broke woken in a pair, jokes spoken pact wrote to rope the dopes and take em there.
Stuck in the muck of the pit out of luck
Sick with The Quickening, shit out of fucks
This kickstarter biz? Bitter planner, it sucks
So writ the Highlander, of the clan Mcduck

This is probably my favorite episode of the series so far, wonderful mix of discussion of the topics and building on the narrative of the series with tones of great jokes peppered throughout. Plus, that ending had me dying, both figuratively and literally because my parents were in the other room and I forgot I wasn't wearing headphones while watching this. XD

Digi and I filmed the first 4 episodes of season 3 last summer, i have no idea what the bonus eps will be.

Nice stuff my dude. So, when you say "penultimate episode", does that mean episodes 11, 12, and 13 are bonuses not entwined into the main narrative of the show?
