- The Wheel of the Worst is back to ruin everyone's day! And possibly their entire lives. Hands will be mutilated, the darker side of basketball will be learned, and embarrassing rap songs will be sung!
Omg The Manners Club was my tape I sent it in!!! Mike was unbelievably accurate: In the late 90's in Pennsylvania my grandma took me to a manners class at my local library. A middle-aged woman played the tape, had us re-enact the activities, and sold us tapes & T-shirts at the end. Never occurred to me I was probably talking to General Manners himself.
Thank god you survived!
Did you have to learn the rap? "Buh b choo, buh buh b choo"
That’s awesome! How long ago did you send it in?
I gifted them a copy of God’s Wacky Animals forever ago and I’m still holding hope that it’ll grace the wheel.
Show us on the doll where the bear touched you.
I sent it in after watching the Marjabelle episode.

I'm a Japanese translator and an embarrassing weirdo. So I'm excited to share the info about the Japanese tape. It's made for junior high students and it's called "Messages from the Future: what you need to know about AIDS"
I'll reply to this comment as I watch the episode, and provide translations.
Did you figure what does the strange wisconsin family have to do with it?
Reply to hopefully track the comment
We need extensive details please, because…uh…we just do.
Okay we're finally on the video. (That second video was great)
The reason the kids are dressed in business suits is because they're school uniforms.
The kids get visited by humanity from the future. They bring up Magic Johnson because he's got AIDS. The future kid brings the modern-day kids down to the cellular level to teach them about AIDS and the immune system
Lady was Alison Gertz an AIDS activist who contracted AIDS at age 16 from a single sexual encounter. She told her story in order to spread the message that aids could happen to anyone, not only homosexuals or the poor, and dispel the many misconceptions about the disease. She died at age 26 in 1992 due to AIDS-related pneumonia.
thankyou I was looking for this!
Well shit, that’s sad.
The family was one in which the father, a hemophiliac, got HIV from a transfusion. He infected his wife unknowingly, and their baby son died when a few months old, which is how they all found out they were infected. The father died of AIDS, but the mother is still alive, and is an HIV awareness advocate.
...and I believe that was a picture of Ryan White on the cover.
There was also a made for tv movie made about her and she was played by Molly Ringwald
As a Scottish guy I'm upset they didn't land on "The Baldy Man". It's a failed TV show for the comedic actor, Gregor Fisher. He was in Scotland's biggest comedy show of the 90's "RAB C. NESBITT" and this was his follow-up. I just wished you'd started watching it only for episode 2 to start and you have the shocking realization its a TV show and you are stuck watching the whole thing
yeah man i was gaggin for the baldy man to get picked - i remember him from the hamlet cigars adverts - never knew he had a whole show ..id imagine it was pish but gonna have to search youtube for it..
Gregor Fisher is a great actor and Wee Rab is a legendary character. Would have been a great video to get.
I wouldn’t call it a failed TV show. It ran for 2 seasons and a Christmas Special.
As soon as I saw it I recognized the character, it's based on a skit from Naked Video, a scottish skits show from the late 80s. Edit: I think the character also did a hamlet cigar ad in the early 90s, where he tries to get his picture taken in a photobooth and it keeps failing...
Baldy Man will always be Hamlet Cigar man trying to take his passport photo and failing hilariously to me.
Happiness, is a cigar called Hamlet.
High Impact Hand Safety had a cautionary tale about drinking on the job. It went right over the RLM guys' heads. Wait until Mike loses a finger in a VCR.
Wait until someone's hand gets stuck in the Wheel. Rich won't be pantomiming then.
Rich lost a finger one halloween and he wasnt even drunk he was just rich evans
Rich almost lost his hand in the wheel this time.
If Mike loses a finger it will be inside Rich Evans.
When Mike was opening his beer before the 3rd video, I thought he was going to fake a hand injury.
The woman in the Japanese video's name is Allison Gertz, she was an activist for AIDS awareness and education. She contracted it after a tryst with a bartender in Studio 54 when she was pretty young (like maybe less than 18), so that might be why they are talking to teens about her. She eventually died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1992. Her story was adapted into a TV movie starring Molly Ringwald, Lee Grant, and Martin Landau called Something to Live For.
Thanks you. That is actually kind of important and touching. In all seriousness the AIDS epidemic was serious. We are fortunate that things are better for HIV patients now.
thank you so much.
The Allison Gertz story kind of hits differently now. She said that people dismiss AIDS because they think it only affects homosexuals and poor people, but she's proof that even a straight rich girl could get it and should be taken seriously.
It kind of supports the accusation that America didn't care about the AIDS epidemic in the beginning because they didn't care about gay people dying.
Thanks you. I was hoping someone solved the mystery in the comment section.
@@mattigus it's not an accusation, it's a fact
The way Mike always wussies out and gives the phone to Rich, and Rich suddenly becomes master of the situation and doesn't fumble his words like usual. Love it.
Harry S. Plinkett had an industrial accident so he immediately rang for a video on how to avoid industrial accidents 🤣
Mike's phone is Rich's activation key.
Master of prank phone calls right there.
For a guy who usually fumbles his words pretty badly Rich thinks pretty quickly on his feet whenever Mike hands him a phone.
Well, he did say "farm carbine", which is a rifle, when he meant "combine", which is farming machinery
"Then the alien manifests some stock footage of Magic Johnson" is one of those once-in-a-lifetime sentences you just can't make up
Can't wait to wake up in the middle of night again to Rich's laugh when youtube plays random RLM videos while I snooze off
I woke up to him screaming “I’m gonna cum!” from the Rogue One video at 2am once. 🤣
@@josiahbahuaud2294 oh gosh I remember that 😂
That’s odd, Rich’s laugh is what helps me sleep
It makes me feel so safe and comforted, like a creepy man in a bear suit has me firmly in his grasp
it gives me soothing sweet dreams
Talk about a nightmare!
So you all were so close on the Japanese AIDS video. It is an junior high school educational video about a person from the future coming back to talk about AIDS. And all your "Wisconsins" are just how they pronounce "viral infection" in Japanese. XD
The chart is actually talking about the rising amount of AIDS cases in Japan by year.
The school uniforms were ill fitting, but that could be explained by production has one size or the fact that they're really expensive. So the uniforms need to last the students the 3 years of their (junior) high school career. Because of that, families buy larger sizes and hope that their children will grow into it.
The kids conversation (with the dolls in the background) is even funnier/worse with your commentaries. Boy: "It's fine if it/we/they(?) die, isn't it?" Girl: "Hey, that's a wedding __??__"
The woman was Allison Gertz/Gatz(?). It is the story of how she got aids from sleeping with someone for the first time.
Yep, they're saying ウイルス感染 or "uirusu kansen" (uirusu being the Japanese phonetic pronunciation of "virus". It's kind of like 'oo-eye-russ')
Thanks I was hoping someone in the comment section would explain.
And what were they saying about the kids in the trailer park?
You're a saint man, I desperately wanted to know what the hell was happening.
Her name is Alison Gertz. She was an AIDS activist in the 80’s and 90’s.
@@TheMontross The trailer park stuff (from the bits I could hear) was talking about how the child(ren?) were born with/had been infected with AIDs. They kept clipping the same parts, so I'm guessing that that part of the video was probably along the lines of 'even children/families can have it. It's not just adults who have risky lifestyles. Here is an example of an everyday family who has to deal with their children (don't know if the parents also had it?) AIDS.'
You can tell Mike didn't edit this one, because @37:44, Mike says "Sexual Harassment" and Rich licks his lips, and there's no slow motion zoom in with distorted audio.
Yeah it was... awkward
Man, that Rich Evans guy is such a weird sex pervert!
In season two, Picard's mother will be revealed to be an alien that wants to play basketball with Japanese business children.
While talking to them about AIDS prevention tips.
Still might be better than season one honestly.
@@Corbomite_Meatballs while showing them how to handle farm equipment properly
47:59 The writing there says Alison Gertz. According to a quick google: "Alison L. Gertz was an American AIDS activist in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Gertz died of AIDS-related pneumonia."
By the way, did you know google translate has a handwriting feature? You can just carefully draw the symbols you see whenever need to look up a mystery person in an educational tape about AIDS.
Google can also translate from photos, so don't even bother with trying to goofily recreate the characters
@@2muchteevee It can but not always, so sometimes it's better to write it down. It's easy too
@@2muchteevee Yeah, but drawing them = better results.
You should post spoiler alerts for these.
I thought it said Allison Gates LMAO
I cannot begin to describe the fucking joy and anticipation I felt in my heart when:
1. I read "A message from the future: what we want you to know about AIDS" in Japanese on the box
2. I realized Rich & gang didn't know that yet but were about to find out sooner or later.
We’re they really saying “aids in Wisconsin” in the video?
@@faritkamalov6567 no they were saying what I think translates to "person with AIDS" which can sound like aids in Wisconsin
@@faritkamalov6567 As perfect as that would've been, sadly no. At 45:31, the commentator says 2 words in quick succession:
1. the loanword for "virus" - weerusu （ウィルス）
2. the Japanese word for "infected person" - kansensha (感染者）
You put those two words together, it becomes "weerusu kansensha", or "the people infected (by AIDS)". Easily mistaken for Wisconsin, but one of the greatest coincidences in BOTW history.
They need to hire you as the translator for some of this.
Thanks for the info, you rock!

@TheNignag89 what is anybody doing ever? try to be a good sort and pick your shtick

My exact inner monologue before seeing this comment!
Whoever sent you the Japanese tape definitely gifted it from the heart. It's got AIDs, Wisconsin, and it's a weird Japanese video. Really, it's a culmination of what makes BOTW so special.
Yeah, they're the real MVPs.
I was so excited, since the last Japanese tape they got was SOS.
Unfortunate that it was up against the hand safety video, too
Just started this BOTW and yeah the title basically translates to "message from the future: we want you to know about AIDS"
I rarely watch videos from this series, so BOTW acronym didn't ring the right bell for me. And so, I was wandering why would AIDs, Wisconsin and a weird Japanese video would make Breath of the Wild so special.
They think Mike is just being a troll when he picks Manners Club as BOTW, but I’ll bet Mike just really likes that video. Manners Club is simply steeped in the essence of the elderly, right down to the grandma’s house aesthetic. The elderly do not have to be visible on screen for Mike to laugh at them
And you just KNOW they got all sorts of shit wrong with them.
If my grandma saw that living room, she'd hiss "italians" under her breath.
Mike does seem to like stuff which is just awfully made. He often votes for videos/movies featuring comically low production values and general complete incompetence.
@@sednoid Mike seems to live for two things on this show: Uniquely terrible new experiences and contrarianism. I have no idea which of the two won this episode
This was for me easily one of the best "Best of the Worst" in a long time.
it's always some instructional video that's super fucking hardcore
Mike was fucking hilarious in this one
Yet it's ironically shorter than most episodes. They struck gold again, for a change, yet kind of breezed through them.
More like "Worst of the Best"
If you were to make an exceptionally good sausage out of it it would be the best "Best of the 'Best of the Worst'" Wurst.
Imagine you're a middle aged man now working for a low rent studio that makes safety films, and you never got your chance to make that crazy slasher movie you always wanted to make, and then the company says "make it gross" and you think "My time has finally come."
And they told me i couldn't do drama!!
Some of the actors during the recreations also looked like they where letting out some long-forgotten dreams of Hollywood/Broadway when they screamed.
I love that the guys still use the little BOTW stands a fan made for them years ago. 💜
To be fair, nobody has smashed them in a fit of pique. *Yet*
I'm assuming that as per their request they are receiving regular replacement shipments
They are pretty good stands.
Yeah they sure love Zelda
When Mike says amputee victims, I can only imagine a prosthetic store that sells prosthetics to amputees who have been attacked by amputees.
Man, that's a brilliant racket!
Nah an amputee wouldn't hurt a fly, they're completely armless
it would cost an arm and a leg

I'm an aircraft mechanic, and for safety trainings' we've had to listen to several black box recordings of planes crashing or people getting crushed by the flight control surfaces during maintenance. The shock videos can be pretty effective.
That's intense. I think it is a useful practice though. I'm not a pilot, but they do a similar thing for engineering, showing things like helicopters ripping themselves apart because of a bad design, or buildings collapsing because of last minute design changes.
Building a functional culture of safety is much easier when everyone truly understands the phrase: "Safety regulations were written in blood."
Yeah I had to see some graphic stuff getting my arborist assistant training - chainsaw injuries, electrocution deaths. It does stay in your mind for sure.
As a part time RAF cadet at a British school in the 1990s, we got showed a similar safety video which featured what I believe to be real footage of a man with a severed leg with blood squirting out of the artery. As you can tell, I still remember that.
I can't handle stuff like that. Even in this episode during the hand stuff, I put a napkin over my phone so I wouldn't see anything. And red asphalt, in drivers ed the instructors let me go outside.

One of my in-laws is a farmer that had both hands severed when he fell into a running piece of machinery. One hand was cleanly removed and the other hung on by some skin. He walked about a mile through his field to a road and "waved" down a truck that gave him a trip to the hospital. A friend went back to the field to recover the cleanly removed hand. He had successful surgery to reattach both hands. The surgeon told him that it was the most amazing surgery in his career. The hands are fully functional. He was able to proudly show me pictures of his hands lying on a tray prior to surgery using his smart phone.
nice. i lol'd a little when you said "waved"
How did he take the picture???
@@stephenburr9836 Doctors take pictures. It’s probably in a medical journal somewhere too.
There was a very similar 'I Survived' episode
One of my in-laws is a Japanese student in an ill-fitting suit that contracted AIDS when he was sucked into the eyeball of an alien that turned giant. He walked about a mile through the blood vessels and "caught" a ride on a white blood cell to the lymph nodes. A friend went back to Wisconsin to get a basketball. He had successful treatment to cure his AIDS. Magic Johnson told him that it was the most amazing recovery he had seen. His immune system is fully functional. He was able to proudly show me pictures of Woody Woodpecker in New York prior to treatment using his smart phone.
Shake Hands With Danger was shown to me when I was in the army as a combat engineer and I had a course about heavy bulldozers and such. Everyone in the room completely lost their shit laughing everytime the folk singer started singing after someone gets horribly injured
The podcast "Well There's Your Problem" uses the folk singer's "Shake Hands With Danger" bit as their musical stinger for their _Safety Third_ segment wherein listeners send in entirely preventable safety incidents caused by morons with more responsibility than brains. Highly recommended!
@@Trendyflute Came here to recommend that! It's where I learned the song
Honestly the song slaps. The single is better than the one in the video.
We saw it in school back in the day, me and my friends still quote it over 10 years later. "Shake hands with danger" really was a successful slogan
I had to watch it for shop class back in the late 80's, I was cackling throughout the whole film and got a couple of others to sing along twards the end. I still hum it when I see something dumb about to happen.
I really wish that Mike would do more videos talking about Paranormal TV shows.
I would pay money to see him talk about the comedy gold of the "Ghost Adventures: Goldfield Hotel" special from last year.
Hey love your videos Goomba!
You could do an entire series going episode by episode through Ghost Adventures. Describing a single episode aloud sounds like a fever dream
After Picard Season 2 ends, Rich and Mike should totally pivot to just talking about Zack Baggins's shenanigans.
I need a whole re view series on ghost adventures.

29:20 worked in a meat refinery for years, one summer worker had the automatic blender machine get stuck from all the meat goop, so he had the bright idea of trying to clean it up by hand from the receiving end of the blender. Lost all his fingers. I chipped a piece off my middle finger by accident too while I was there, disassembling a small skinning machine after a day of work, loosened one of the screws to remove the blade from the inside for metal recycling. The lightweight blade gently fell on my fingers but industrial knives, axes and blades are so sharp it took a piece of my middle finger anyway, peeled the middle finger flesh from the bone.
Majority of these accidents happen when you get too used to the work itself and start getting sloppy and inattentive. Have to remember to have certain respect for the heavy machinery.
Similar experiences working in kitchens. Most accidents don’t happen by the newly trained people, those mistakes are made by people who are used to little injuries and forget that the big ones are still possible too
The meat refinery, next door to the meat derricks and the meat pipeline
@@Mace907 Thats what it is called in my language. "Lihanjalostamo". And its accurate. You turn living pigs into a clean piece of meat in a plastic container, separated from the bone, cleaned from blood, veins and excess fat.
@@Meitti oh yeah I should have known you were a Finn from your username
I worked with UPS on their airport tarmac. They told us this -- when you get complacent, careless, or too cocky, that's when accidents happen. The new guys, fresh and bright-eyed, very rarely were the recipients.
We had to lug what we called "air cans" on and off of planes, usinghydraulic equipment, ball bearing platforms, and enormous dollies the size of trailers. I'll never forget when someone training me how to hitch a 2 ton metal dolly properly showed me a missing finger, or the time the entire operation paused because someone got their foot sheared apart by a can in an airplane.
I'd rather lose any other individual body part (excluding vitals, of course) than a hand. The dolly story sobered me forever, in a way other safety information didn't. It became real.
You absolutely must respect industrial equipment, in the same way you respect a natural disaster or a deity (if you believe). They have power you cannot possibly hope to match. Fuck around and you will be crushed like a bug.
This was like a "best of" compilation for the Wheel of the Worst, yet somehow with entirely new footage. Amazing
They hate doing WOTW, but pound for pound, it has given us the most iconic content RLM has ever done outside of those famous George Lucas space operas.
I can tell you that in 1995ish when I was 25, I was beginning a job as a maintenance worker at a turkey kill and processing facility and they made us watch the High Impact Hand Safety video. We are maintenance men, can do any job, the epitome of blue collar, some of us prior service, this video scared the shit out of us.

Baldy Man is a mainly mute character of Scottish comic actor Greggor Fisher (Rab. C. Nesbitt). It's basically Mr. Bean but with a little more slapstick. It first came about following one of the most successful & memorable advert ever to appear on UK tv for Hamlet cigars, back when advertising tobacco products during the ad breaks for a Saturday morning cartoon was a perfectly acceptable practice.
The words at the bottom of the cover were the names of episodes in the series.
This post is going to be updated with everything I know so far about the Japanese tape: 未来からのメッセージ 知ってほしいエイズのこと (Message from the Future: Things you’ll want to know about AIDS). Consider this an open letter: if anyone has this video or KNOWS where to find it, post it. Hell, if you find a VHS for sale online somewhere, I know how to rip VHS. Gimme the link and I'll buy it and upload it. RLM probably made a rip, but I don't think they will upload it (for obvious reasons). This is for archival, fellas. I love time capsules like this. EDIT 3/19/2022: People have said the mystery woman in the video is Allison Gertz, an AIDS activist in the 80s and 90s. A friend found a listing for it on an education site for the Okinawan audiovisual library. It lists the length as 15 minutes, and gives the tape a teaching material number of v-1684. It looks like these tapes are/were MOSTLY rented out to junior high schools, so one may never have been actually owned outside of the education system.
Thanks, this knowledge will be useful in the fight against AIDS.

I jumped for fucking joy when the Japanese tape was picked because of how good SOS was last time.

Worked for my dad from 14-18 during the summers at his construction company.
Drove the forklift, daily, in the warehouse moving concrete forms around with only this instructions: this level does this, and don't kill yourself.

The amount of disappointment in Mike’s “oh” when he finds out pedobear isn’t a real life creature feels too genuine
When I was working in a factory, the safety instructor guy was just touring around with real life photos of actual people who got violently killed by machines that we worked on.
It was effective, I will never unsee them.
That was pretty much my Driver's Ed class, as well.
"Who needs to learn how to parallel park?! Look at this mangled corpse stuck halfway through the windshield instead!"
@@ThePerfectSeth That is literally all I remember from Driver's Ed, pictures of decapitated heads starting at the camera and a real brain splattered on the street. My teacher then proceeded to tell us two stories about how a mom of a student of his ran over someone and decapitated him, and then another story about how his friend killed himself and a date.
Anyway, how long do you wait at a stop sign?
That was my factory training as well. Say what you will but the method works.
I remember seeing some brutal workplace accidents from LiveLeak and a 30 second clip is way, way more effective than an hour presentation on not sticking your head in a moving machine.

Mike sounded so disappointed when he was told Pedobear is just an internet meme.
As a person who works in industry with heavy machinery, the vast majority of safety training is just management pointing at the machine and saying “don’t touch that”
22:17
drunk adults openly mocking children doing their best will literally *never* not be funny
I forgot which episode it was but it's one of my favorite Jack moments. They're all saying stuff like "you moron!", Jay says "You dummy!" and then Jack yells out "YOU C*NT!" and it's bleeped lol
Especially when all those kids are adults now and can be embarrassed all over again!
That safety training library also has some options for "confined spaces", that's where you get stories like "Compartment filled with poison gas, and 5 people went in one after the other trying to save them before someone realized what was happening"
That's a regular extrajudicial execution method in mexican jails. Warden send "non-paying" prisioners to clean septic tanks without equipment, someone suffocates, they send another 3-5 to "rescue" the first guy, and end up with up to 6 free beds.
@@jade616 Are you serious? That's fucked if true. Remind me to never go to prison in Mexico. Not that I planned on doing that in the first place.
@@dangerdan2592 I mean, youre apparently DB Cooper so I'd say u have a lot higher chance of ending up in Mexican prison than the rest of us..
Or a room with an ungrounded electrical current. My dad managed electricians and when he took some time off an incident happened where an electrician walked into a room with a current so strong it immediately cooked the moisture from his body and essentially vaporized him, then his partner followed him and they found them at the end of the day when their trucks never came back to the shop.
Came down here to say this.
In the Japanese video, they're saying "AIDS uirusu kansensha" which means "people infected with AIDS virus".
It's extra funny that they hear "virus infected people" as "Wisconsin".
So Wisconsin does mean aids in Japanese
Kansensha sounds close to both Wisconsin and Kenosha, which is a town near them.
That somehow makes it funnier. Because they just accepted it meant Wisconsin and when the squalor was shown on screen they were just like “yup.”
@@heirofaniuwhat happens in Kenosha, stays in Kenosha
Not sure if anyone else commented with this yet, but “woman in photo”is…
Alison L. Gertz (February 27, 1966 - August 8, 1992) was an American AIDS activist in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Gertz died of AIDS-related pneumonia.
I was hoping someone would know, thanks so much
Pronounced in this video as Arison Gaatsu san. Japanese phonetics are somewhat limited
@@kenknight5983 Japanese have no equivalent of L.

Google Lens translated the Japanese writings to Allison Gartz so I had to search a bit more.
When they were talking about the other safety videos, I remembered this picture of a sign in a shop somewhere:
*This machine does not know the difference between metal and flesh, nor does it care*
Edit: another thing I remembered were those "There are no accidents" PSA's shown in Canada. The most well-known one is of a chef spilling a giant pot of boiling water on herself
I always liked the one sign that I think was for electrical shock that was "Not only will this kill you, it will hurt the entire time you're dying"
Get some booty shorts with that quote on the butt.
That Canadian PSA felt so real when I saw it for the first time, it was so viscerally disturbing to me. If the goal was to scare me away from ever working in a kitchen, mission accomplished! lol
30:05 - Jay: "...it's like Faces of Death"
*CORE MEMORY UNLOCKED*
From now on I will be reminded of Wisconsin every time I hear "母子感染(boshi-kansen/maternal infection)". Thanks RLM😂
Do you... Do you hear that often?
@@nameredacted7622 Not much for now but you never know...
It is actually "Uirusu kansen" (ウイルス感染). Which translates to "virus infection."
@@adam-t Yeah that too. I was referring to the time they said it once around 46:33
Rich screaming AIDS for a minute straight, was pure gold
I wanna hear the full song!!!
I fucking died laughing when he let that out
I clapped when he said AIDS!
A callback! It finally paid off!
Even knowing this was coming up, I was not prepared.
Tears streaming down my face.
Better than the Rich Evans in my dreams.
I'm so glad Shake Hands with Danger came up.
Fancy meeting you here, Sal! Or whomever wrote this comment... 😁
Out of all the channels I've been subbed to for years and years, RLM videos are the only ones I immediately watch once they're posted every single time. There's really nothing quite like it on UA-cam.
Same for me buddy!! I ended up making fan art animation of them... Speaking of...DID SOMEBODY SAY 20:41 "MANERS ¿WHO NEEDS EM?" ua-cam.com/video/u1QbP3HSaGo/v-deo.html
All hail Red Letter Media, and their omnipotent Godhead, RICH EVANS!
This and also Leon the lobster!
Seeing Mike do the Harry s. Plinkett voice was something I never thought I'd see
42:54 Rich's moment of realization is simply magical.
A real Usual Suspects type moment
I feel so proud of myself for managing to catch the Japanese alien man saying "Aids" during the Magic Johnson spot. Even beat the almighty sleuth Rich Evans to the punch by a few seconds.
Certainly nothing I do will ever top that achievement.
Rich: "Your memory grave rivals Arlington."
Hardest laugh of an already laugh-heavy episode.
Larry Thorne is buried at Arlington.
@@shinget I'm sure he would have rather been laid to rest by his farm. But the USSR and later Russia never gave it back.,
oh my god this is one of the best BOTWs as of yet, we get gore, we get a rick AND MIKE prank call, and a weird esoteric japanese video
Rick is only in the knockoff version of WOTW. He has a picture at Chuck E Cheese wearing a shirt that says "Dich the Christmas Boy"
don't forget AAAAAIIIIIIDDDDDSSSSSSS
Now it'll be part of the lore that Mike can't remember "Mind Your Manners, Man"
What is it with ricks?!
gore, AIDS and pedobear. Perfect start for a week.
Baldy Man is played by Gregor Fisher, he created and starred in Rab C Nesbit, a Glaswegian comedy, he also recently appeared in The Cockfields. He is a pretty respected Scottish comedic actor. Baldy Man is a character he created for several Hamlet Cigar adverts in the 80s 90s and it somehow became a shortlived TV show. Not his magnus opus. Cheers.
It wasn't created for Hamlet, he created it for a show called Naked Video, bloody loved that show.
@@scottneil1187 I stand corrected
My stepmother had to look after Gregor Fisher when he was in hospital many years ago. Funny man on screen, massive pain in the arse in real life, apparently.
Baldy Man was, as far as I recall, a mostly wordless comedy, pre-dating Mr Bean by quite a few years.
@@romlemmon I grew up in a tiny village in Scotland, Gregor Fisher moved there when I was a kid, all us local kids attended his wedding, met a lot of famous folk that day, my cousin was his paperboy, never really met Gregor himself but he seemed cool, he used to buy loads of fireworks for the village for Guy Fawkes night.
Glaswegian? We have better luck understanding more japanese videos
that quick shot of the dude getting his ring stuck and falling and his finger getting ripped off IMMEDIATELY triggered a flashback from when I was in high school. My senior year I had a history teacher that was missing her ring finger and that’s how that happened!!!!! She said she was up on a little step stool in her closet getting something on the top shelf and her ring got caught, she fell and it straight up ripped her finger off. She had a wonderful attitude about it though, she said the only real downside was it made scooping M&M’s out of the bag a lot more difficult 😂
That was freaking insane, totally forgot about that.
I know they're just sets, but its a little jarring to see the Lightning Fast VCR repair and Mr. Plinkett's house right next to each other.
The RLMCU uses some high-end gravitic quantum-tunneling wormhole technology. With tachyons.
Ask Mike. It was in that one episode of Star Trek...
Did it bother you that Mr. Plinkett was sitting next to Mr. Plinkett?
@@justincoleman3805 Would be weirder if Mr. Plinkett was nowhere near Mr. Plinkett.
I agree. Illusion ruined.
So long as it makes it into Picard Season 3, that's what matters.
Oh hell yeah, I don't have to watch an old ep of WotW for the 3rd time!
Gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers
Only the 3rd time?
Only 3rd??
3rd time... today...
I've rewatched every BOTW at least 3 times... My life is pathetic.
Rich Evans’ aiiiiidddddsssssss is the single most amazing piece of entertainment in the world today. We needed that.
You know Mike voted for General Manners because his dementia made him forget the Hand Safety video by the time it was time to discuss
The workplace recreations of confined space accidents could actually be pretty gnarly. Pretty much all the examples they talk about when you take the course involve multiple fatalities.
They'd show those horrible russian elevators without walls, where the trashcans get in a weird angle and pressures your head until it explodes.
I’m really upset they didn’t land on Cold Steel since it’s probably a collection of their sword promo videos. They have no idea of the power of the Greatsword, or just how many pig carcasses an out of shape dude in a warehouse can hack apart.
It's not just a homewrecker, it's a street wrecker.
I got so excited when I saw Cold Steel on the wheel, because I OWN that dvd! I picked it up from a bargain store for like 25 cents on a whim cause I thought it looked like wheel material lol. Guess I was right.
😡WATCH ME CHOP THIS BOOT FULL OF MEAT WITH THIS CHINESE WAR SWORD!😡
@@patrickstonecrusher omg I forgot all about the meat boots
Cold Steel is pretty active on UA-cam and now I am PRAYING for some kind of guest episode 🙏
"Japanese Basketball AIDS Video" is the most important phrase of this generation. Also we need to not skip over the sick-ass Jordans the taller boy child was wearing.
The level of Wisconsin that emerged from Mike when he said school photos was awe inspiring
25:38
The guys seem like they're having so much fun in this one and it's an all-time great episode. Mike and all the guys really are ON IT with their jokes, one-liners, and takedowns
With the exception of Mike talking about getting blood all over your Simpsons T-shirt and not one of them went for the low hanging "DOH!" But yeah, this was champagne BotW.
the pure joy of watching several middle-aged men suffer horribly through awful tapes is nearly unmatched
Middle aged? What do you mean? I'm about the same age as these guys and... oh. Aw, fuck.
I think "elderly" is a more correct age range
@@jackkoffin1
Plus, Rich is immortal so his age is androgynous

Sorry, I meant “Rich is immoral”
"because they have within them, the power of basketball" Rich really understands anime
Jay’s editing is always a fucking treat.
Jay's dropping glorious editing treats for Brian Butterfield to gobble right up before our very eyes.
way back in 1978 my first day in high school metal shop class we watched a safety video called "it always happens to the other guy" it started out really good with actual accidents like a bucket loader falling off a cliff and then it turned into a safety glasses video where a guy gets a tiny piece of metal shot in his eye and we then follow his day going to the hospital and what they do to remove it. i still remember it to this day.
Releasing this on my birthday when I have the day off work and the TV to myself is one of the single greatest gifts I have ever received. Thank you one and all.
Happy birthday 🥳
@@yfna1 Thank you sir!
If anyone should fear death, it's Mike. When the time comes, he'll see ALL those movies again in one giant terrifying clip. So that's one big motivation not to die.
Just discovered them at start of pandemic. Probably gone through everything they have produced five times each!! Every time they post I literally do a little hop.
Haha, me too
Always good to see converts to our Richlgion
The thought of a grown man doing a happy little hop is very adorable
I do the Star Wars Episode 8 Yoda booty dance
You need to watch their cinematic masterpiece. SPACE COP
Given The Peter Serafinowicz Show only got one series and wasn't even that well known in the UK, I always feel oddly happy when this bunch of hack frauds in Milwaukee reference it
My favourite sketch was Kitchen Gun.
Wave goodbye to surfaces!
How are these guys making some of the best content on UA-cam, despite doing the same thing for a decade. Thank you guys so much for the only stuff I look forward to
Rich Evans’ slow turn to the camera about AAAAIIIIIIIDS made my knees buckle from laughter
This one ranks with the top BOTW episodes. It has it all: cash grab manners bullshit, horrific workplace safety scenes akin to 'Edged Weapons' and indecipherable Japanese nonsense in the vein of 'SOS'. I re-watched it immediately after finishing the first viewing. Haven't done that since the Drunk Tim Christmas episode. Hoodies for Everyone!...and AIDS!
Sitting here in Japan with this episode playing in the background while I'm getting some work done. Then the Japanese AIDS video comes on and I'm not getting anymore work done.
Wow, Mike does a pretty good Mr. Plinkett impression.
the poor kid was blabbing something, and mike is like, "Shut up!"
that's why i love this shit!
We know you like that shit.
I always do this too! If any kid starts talking in something, me and my girlfriend will just groan out of disgust and just mock them the whole time they’re talking. I fucking hate child actors
That's something they always do in MST3K too
@@MrDrProfessorPurple That is kind of sad tbh
@@MrDrProfessorPurple even though they we're annoying and cringe they weren't actors though,just roped into an akward situation by people bigger then themselves, we we're all children once and if I had a choice I'd make a run for it
A few years ago, I was working at a fruit market. They used a forklift to unload the truck, and literally EVERYONE drove that forklift. Nobody had a license. The manager would drive it SO fast in short spaces. RLM has taught me through its content, that that is fucking insane.
As a german, I just can't belive you guys know about staplerfahrer klaus. I've known this tape since i was a little boy and would have never imagined I would hear that title on my beloved RLM, yet alone being known outside of germany. On the small chance Jay, Mike or Rich Evans read(s) this comment, I'd love the chance to tell you that I love your content, especially best of the worst. The best ones Keep doing what you're doing. P.S. the len kabasinski ones were the best
I'm just disappointed to learn that "Staplerfahrer Klaus" was a parody of work safety videos.
Just as a bit of info from DE: Staplerfahrer Klaus is parody AND to be taken seriously at the same time. They legit still show it in forklift driving classes to this day over here which is great for obvious reasons
I love this Forklift Safety Training video! It's awesome on so many levels!
I’ve been showing it for years!!
It's like Red Asphalt at court ordered drivers education... I mean the class to get your permit, yea that's it.
Good way to keep folks attention is to mix humor with a real message. It'll stay with you longer too. I remember the funny safety/educational videos I've seen in my life much more than the boring ones, or even the boring+graphic ones.
Plus it has a bitchin' theme tune!
As someone who works on modern safety training courses, I really REALLY wish we could have more melodramatic gore in our content. In a few months I'm going to be working on our company's Hand Safety training course. Wish I could sneak in clips from this hand safety tape.
You might be able to sneak it in in your introduction.
Those cold steel videos were so much entertainment for us back in the day. They'd charge like $3 for a dvd that was just an ad but it was worth every penny. Such "I studied the blade" energy.
High Impact Hand Safety was certainly shocking but not nearly as shocking as Mike knowing who BTS is.
No kidding!! I was thinking that the ‘alien’ looked a TINY bit like Jimin from BTS - and then Mike shocks me!!!!
