BotW Episode 1: January 2013 BotW Episode 100: April 2021 100 episodes in 100 months, never noticed how consistent RLM is at cranking out top tier content
They publish a video like every week consistently, once I got into their content years ago I was expecting to catch-up to their most recent stuff and then be starved of content for months but they are incredibly productive which is odd considering their works have a consistent quality, if anything it surprises me it took them so long to get to the milestone of one million subscribers.
I am the proud owner of an 'original' Fateful Findings poster. I got it from a poster sale from a local theater that played it a few years ago. I put quotes around 'original' because what Neil sent the theater was a giant picture of the poster that was clearly printed at Staples for like 10 bucks. Allegedly, from what the guy who ran the theater told me, when the theater asked in an email if they could get a poster to promote the movie, Neil said he would "loan them" one, but they would have to send it back at their own expense. They said dealing with Neil was the most aggravating experience they'd ever had, he wouldn't allow it to be played past a certain time, and the theater was forbidden from using the words 'bad' or 'funny' to promote it. Now I own it, and it's truly one of my most valued possessions.
@@slayertakim1 And that's the one thing Neil Breen absolutely positively does NOT allow! His movies must NEVER be shown at midnight! They're like Gremlins.
It took 100 episodes for me to realize that Neil Breen's 'film career' is his elaborate way of camouflaging a history of Google searches for "ways to make it look like my neighbor commited suicide".
All jokes aside, I genuinely love everything these gentlemen have done over the years. They've brought us countless hours of laughter...that means everything in the world to me. Thank you Red Letter Media. You've made life slightly less crappy.
"Basic Computer Literacy" sounds like a Troy McClure film. "Hey there little Timmy! Did you know your computer is made of SAND? Don't you feel less scared now?"
59:29 - "I can't believe you committed suicide. I can not believe you committed suicide. How could you have done this. How could you have committed suicide." It might come as a shock to some of you, but Neil Breen hasn't even taken acting lessons, can you believe it. I can not believe he hasn't taken acting lessons. I can not believe he hasn't taken acting lessons. How could he have done this. How could he have not taken acting lessons.
It's such a strange line delivery it almost comes across like it's supposed to be Neil suspecting that the guy didn't actually kill himself. He doesn't seem angry or shocked so much as legitimately confused.

8 years, 3 months, 4 days ago the first Best of the Worst episode aired. And in all that time, despite how much the world has changed, these guys are doing the same thing. And its still the best thing on the internet. Here's to 100 more episodes of Best of the Worst. 🥂
This episode had it all! Cyber sex, Rich mis-pronouncing things and hating himself, the zombified corpse of the old wheel, the theme music for Canadian special effects masters Colin and that scottish guy, freeze frames, Conics, the devil, SCAAAAIIIIITHSSS, "me personally" Nukie and more! I've already arranged by funeral...

@@dilan-jay I like Josh humor, it's the same with Jack, you can say whatever you want, but they two make the best set ups for the other three jokes. Also the editing as always make them funnier.
Shoutout to Ada (the old timey lady from the computer video) that girl was a revolutionary mathematician who created some of the earliest programing algorithms for Charles Babbage's analytical engine. She's essentially the mother of computer programming.
When they all left Mike at the table at the end and he started muttering drunkenly, I was hoping that there was another ten minutes left in the episode of just him by himself.
I thought it would pick up on the old plot point from season 2 that all of BotW is just Mike drunkenly talking to himself and imagining that he has friends.
I swear to God red letter media has such a cursed quality. It's like they deliberately made it so it's hard to remember which parts your mind made up. That bit where they smashed the Wheel again and Rich lamented is like watching a playback of a fever dream
Imagine Neil Breen and Tommy Wiseau, the two greatest actor/writer/directors, collaborating to create their own version Face/Off... It would be movie history.
I think Tommy wiseau is too aware of his reputation now...everything he's done since The Room is him sincerely trying to be funny, and failing. If we're talking Wiseau in his prime though, if they could overcome the inevitable battle of their uncompromising egos, then it would indeed be a spectacle for the ages
@@AirTails Yeah, Neil Breen is the true enigma, if that guy is self-aware he got to be even more of a genius than the characters he plays but I think it is impossible for someone to be as deluded as he seems to be and still be an otherwise functional human breen, he got to know, his whole persona got to be a character, if so he created the impossible, a series of manufactured shit movies that look spontaneous.
At 32:40 When Jay and Mike said "This is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen" almost everyone is very suspiciously crossing their legs. I think it's safe to say the film moved them all in some way.
I honest to god felt tears streaming down my face as I witnessed the funeral tape’s slow, fluctuating demise. I was literally watching a VHS tape progressing through the five stages of grief. Happy 100th episode, fellas.
seriously, forget about the topless women (who were kinda funny, joking about their boobs and keyboard covers and whatnot) I was most offended by the terrible costume on Ada Lovelace, where you can clearly see a zipper up the back! Although she would have been offended by everything else in her segment, I guess.
I don’t know if it was deliberate, but the reference to Frankenstein while looking at the representation of computing pioneer Ada Byron-King aka Ada Lovelace was onscreen was a great connection. Ada was the daughter of Lord Byron, poet and friend to Percy Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley. And Byron was present on the night Mary Shelley presented her story on a stormy night on Lake Geneva.
The same Lake Geneva shoreline that bore witness to the Montreux casino fire which was immortalized in the song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, longtime friends and collaborators with Edgar Winter, whose eponymous group wrote the song "Frankenstein." Coincidence?
As one reviewer put it, Breen seems aware, but not self-aware. He knows which bits people love, like "NO MORE BOOKS", but he doesn't know *why* they love those bits. "People respond well to Cyber Time-Traveling Alien Jesus, and quote what I say in that role, so that's obviously the best way to spread my message and change the world for the better. A world without lawyers, politicians, and insurance agents."
I kinda wish The Room had kept its vampire subplot because those two together would be so amazing that the universe could possibly tear itself apart in self defense
@James Winland If you record yourself, screaming a poorly-worded manifesto, surrounded by women several decades too young for you and the corpses of everyone you see as minions of The Man, the general public isn't going to be terribly interested in your message.

SO... I used to skip BOTW videos where Mike and Jay weren't both in the group discussion. But thank God I changed my ways... I've learned that every member of this crew plays off each other so well and whoever edits the videos brings their own comedy when putting everything together. I can't tell you how much I love this channel.
@@jonsmith5058 jack have great ideas and make great set ups, he just doesn't land the punchline, but then someone else makes a second punchline and everything is great. I actually enjoy Jack episodes more, they always have gems with the lows. When jack is not there the quality is more uniform and without so many pick. Also Jay really laughs with Jack Humor what makes it more enjoyable
you were missing out, some of the best episodes are the ones without Mike and just Jay, especially the dinosaur one, dangerous men, ryans babe, and probably others. Mike did have Blood Debts though
Please do record a Nukie Spotlight now even if not to release it immediately. Just incase of Rich Evan's untimely death due to diabetes or Mike's untimely death due to alcoholism.
Immediately after Mike said "some kinda creepy pervert" and there wasn't a cut away or a pop up photo of Rich Evans, I knew this one was edited by Jay. Went to check in the credits and sure enough it is. quick edit, "girls gone AOL-wol" is great
seeing all the Nukie tapes in old videos, knowing their inevitable fate, is chilling
I miss them, but it was the right thing to do
The wall of nukie had to be put down
I think you mean hilarious
At least one of the tapes was saved by a very wealthy person.
I believe it's called "foreshadowing"
I love that the last words before the funeral tape died were “there are many ways to pay for a funeral” which is just downright ominous
Everything was so perfectly timed to be creepy and funny that you'd think its staged.
"Our experts in Cyrodil advise you that the most economical way is to PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD!"
And it started at “Contact Clergy”
I don't think I've ever seen Rich lose it like this in a Best of the Worst before.
I’d like to point out it said YOUR funeral, not a funeral.
Rich Evans explaining Neil Breen films is possibly the highest form of entertainment yet discovered by the human race.

I always appreciate your misplaced confidence, Jay.
We all need a buddy like that.
“You have 1 money and no camera” can be a nice metaphor for “You have the vision but no main idea.”

@@MrMangaman1 What are we? Movie haters?
Niel Breen recorded Fateful Findings using his imagination.
The tag out was the highest production effect they've ever made
Don't forget hologramm of Rich Evans, that they keep using.
*MASHES TRAP HORN*
@@maximpeshkov3377 Honestly, I'm just so impressed with how well they synthesized his voice. The fact that his laugh is so authentically Rich Evans proves that true AI exists.
@@MiniMackeroni It's Troy Baker, silly.
The Tagout is the most innovative development in Red Letter Media gimmickry since Junka and I would love to see it make a comeback in the future.
The "you have to stop" step-daughter lecture scene in Fateful Findings is one of the most uncomfortable scenes in any media ever.
8 years, 3 months, 4 days ago the first Best of the Worst episode aired. And in all that time, despite how much the world has changed, these guys are doing the same thing. And its still the best thing on the internet. Here's to 100 more episodes of Best of the Worst. 🥂
This episode had it all!
Cyber sex, Rich mis-pronouncing things and hating himself, the zombified corpse of the old wheel, the theme music for Canadian special effects masters Colin and that scottish guy, freeze frames, Conics, the devil, SCAAAAIIIIITHSSS, "me personally" Nukie and more!
I've already arranged by funeral...
Just wish Jim and Colin made a special appearance. Jim wearing the American flag jacket to be precise.
a doctor who evidently wears a cheap plastic friendship bracelet he got from some kid as a child despite it being 10 and 40 years since he saw that kid
@@dilan-jay I like Josh humor, it's the same with Jack, you can say whatever you want, but they two make the best set ups for the other three jokes. Also the editing as always make them funnier.
Shoutout to Ada (the old timey lady from the computer video) that girl was a revolutionary mathematician who created some of the earliest programing algorithms for Charles Babbage's analytical engine. She's essentially the mother of computer programming.
Babbage wasn't her dad, but yes it is interesting history. The Information by James Gleick covers it very well.
Her dad was Lord Byron, the poet!
...thought you meant the lady from the internet sex tape for a second...
@@johncarter7264 so did I, very confusing till I realized

When they all left Mike at the table at the end and he started muttering drunkenly, I was hoping that there was another ten minutes left in the episode of just him by himself.
I thought it would pick up on the old plot point from season 2 that all of BotW is just Mike drunkenly talking to himself and imagining that he has friends.
I was getting the end of Godfather Part II vibe.
@@woozertoo The end of Godfather III would be a better fit.
@@johnarbuckle2619 LOL, true enough.
As President of the Bank, I and other insurance companies are glad they finally got around to Fateful Findings.

“Four Line Conics” has a BAFTA award in case anyone was curious about its public reception
I honestly thought you were all making this up
3:10 Rich references Jack Quaid and Steve Buscemi. So everybody should get hyped for the next BotW ep featuring Steve Buscemi!
Who's Steve Buscemi? Rich was clearly talking about Steve Boucheimie
No no no he was talking about Steve BoooSheeemmeee 🤣 😂

you should analyze the pure artistry of Neil breen movies. they are what liminal spaces would be as movies.

Thank you based sand
Ok, so … I need a "Steve Boosheemy" shirt, now. Thank you.
I got you, I’ve been needing t-shirt designs to make anyway 😎✨
He looks more like ProJared, also a man known for looking and being creepy.
Love your stuff, mate
Bushimi
@@Absolutely_Nobody Doesn't make him not creepy.
I swear to God red letter media has such a cursed quality. It's like they deliberately made it so it's hard to remember which parts your mind made up. That bit where they smashed the Wheel again and Rich lamented is like watching a playback of a fever dream
THE CONFETTI SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE FANTASTIC!
It must be that Canadian craftsmanship.
im sorry, special effects?
Neil really seems mildly disappointed that his friend killed himself.
Great performance.
I'd also be mildly disappointed.
he's secretly suspicious that the wife did it. He's just putting up a front. Brilliant work
He sounds like he’s scolding a cat
With the writer/friends step child arc, I feel like Neil finally got around to watching californication
“I can’t get you out of this one, Jim.”
Imagine Neil Breen and Tommy Wiseau, the two greatest actor/writer/directors, collaborating to create their own version Face/Off... It would be movie history.
I think Tommy wiseau is too aware of his reputation now...everything he's done since The Room is him sincerely trying to be funny, and failing. If we're talking Wiseau in his prime though, if they could overcome the inevitable battle of their uncompromising egos, then it would indeed be a spectacle for the ages
@@AirTails Yeah, Neil Breen is the true enigma, if that guy is self-aware he got to be even more of a genius than the characters he plays but I think it is impossible for someone to be as deluded as he seems to be and still be an otherwise functional human breen, he got to know, his whole persona got to be a character, if so he created the impossible, a series of manufactured shit movies that look spontaneous.
throw Derek Savage in the mix just for sheer chaotic
”Ha-ha-ha. What a story, Neil. So anyway, how’s your sexlife?” ”I want his Face... O-Oh, hi Mark!” Guranteed success!
@@D0NU75 he will be the Doomsday to their Batman V Superman.
At 32:40 When Jay and Mike said "This is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen" almost everyone is very suspiciously crossing their legs. I think it's safe to say the film moved them all in some way.
Only Josh has the self control to not need to cross his legs at that moment
i've never noticed this and you've ruined my life
holy shit that is gold
I honest to god felt tears streaming down my face as I witnessed the funeral tape’s slow, fluctuating demise. I was literally watching a VHS tape progressing through the five stages of grief. Happy 100th episode, fellas.
it was like The Caretaker's discography in video form
It was so perfectly timed. My lungs nearly gave out. It died in our arms together.
@@ghouldishanimal More like The Disintegration Loops.
"Don't do it lady!"
Always love to see Mike pleading with the women onscreen to not take their clothes off
it's the mirror image of "why isn't this women doesn't do STRIPTEAS!" of cinema sins.
@@ztkga Rich is that you?
I love how he makes molestation and r@pe jokes but draws the line at women taking their clothes off
It was actually Jack who is the first one to do that. From Killer Eye, when he says "not for this movie."
When Ada Lovelace's ghost isn't even in the top 100 weirdest things in a Best of the Worst episode, you know it's a good one. Happy century, guys.
And I bet Ada Lovelace could probably have explained the video on Conic sections to the RLM team.
seriously, forget about the topless women (who were kinda funny, joking about their boobs and keyboard covers and whatnot) I was most offended by the terrible costume on Ada Lovelace, where you can clearly see a zipper up the back! Although she would have been offended by everything else in her segment, I guess.
@@gwenivercall I was annoyed that she didn't have an English accent myself
@@gwenivercall it’s not even period accurate
Also wizards
I don’t know if it was deliberate, but the reference to Frankenstein while looking at the representation of computing pioneer Ada Byron-King aka Ada Lovelace was onscreen was a great connection. Ada was the daughter of Lord Byron, poet and friend to Percy Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley. And Byron was present on the night Mary Shelley presented her story on a stormy night on Lake Geneva.
well spotted.
The same Lake Geneva shoreline that bore witness to the Montreux casino fire which was immortalized in the song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, longtime friends and collaborators with Edgar Winter, whose eponymous group wrote the song "Frankenstein." Coincidence?
@@TheZigzagman Yes 😃
seeing neil breen smile as they were dying was comedy genius
realized that when rich laughs hard it's like he's trying to squeeze it out of his body
or it's squeezing itself out whether he wills it or not
Ricky Gervais used to say the same thing. That he had all this air in his lungs and he was going to burst unless you got it out.
Neil Breen's lack of self awareness is one of the most amazing things ever.
As one reviewer put it, Breen seems aware, but not self-aware. He knows which bits people love, like "NO MORE BOOKS", but he doesn't know *why* they love those bits.
"People respond well to Cyber Time-Traveling Alien Jesus, and quote what I say in that role, so that's obviously the best way to spread my message and change the world for the better. A world without lawyers, politicians, and insurance agents."
He has to be a high functioning autist, he just has to.
lack?
I kinda wish The Room had kept its vampire subplot because those two together would be so amazing that the universe could possibly tear itself apart in self defense
@James Winland If you record yourself, screaming a poorly-worded manifesto, surrounded by women several decades too young for you and the corpses of everyone you see as minions of The Man, the general public isn't going to be terribly interested in your message.
1:05:26 - woman scoops drugs out of the toilet to take. All at once:
Rich - Oh NOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOO!
Jack - No, no, no, no no. No!
Jay - Don't Do It!
Josh - She's going to do it. Oh, she's going to do it.
Mike - DO IT!
It sums up their personalities perfectly
I love that it’s kind of just agreed upon by a large portion of the UA-cam community that this is the greatest channel on UA-cam
SO...
I used to skip BOTW videos where Mike and Jay weren't both in the group discussion. But thank God I changed my ways... I've learned that every member of this crew plays off each other so well and whoever edits the videos brings their own comedy when putting everything together.
I can't tell you how much I love this channel.
Still miss Jay’s input tho
Zelda Best of the Worst.
@@franciscor390 I don't know why but I feel like Mike would hate it and Jay would be indifferent
@@jonsmith5058 jack have great ideas and make great set ups, he just doesn't land the punchline, but then someone else makes a second punchline and everything is great. I actually enjoy Jack episodes more, they always have gems with the lows. When jack is not there the quality is more uniform and without so many pick. Also Jay really laughs with Jack Humor what makes it more enjoyable
you were missing out, some of the best episodes are the ones without Mike and just Jay, especially the dinosaur one, dangerous men, ryans babe, and probably others. Mike did have Blood Debts though
Rich laughing at mass suicide is the happiest I've been in weeks. Thank you, Hack Frauds. Here's to another 100 episodes.
The computer Satan saying "You have pushed the wrong button" really reminds me of a Pilotredsun video
Holy shit I was thinking of exactly the same thing ! Even the music is ridiculously similar to his style
Same
@@tylerhughes4223 That video seems like it could have been a formative discovery for a young pilotredsun, it's so reminiscent of his style.
Jay Bauman will go down as one of the greats of editing
Agreed!
He keeps getting better. He rivals even Lucas.
this was a new level for sure.
that user pic of yours is pretty great.
@@JamieSwitzer TY :)
I literally yelled "David Byrne!!" at my screen and then you said someone was doing that and I got embarrassed.
I’m honestly surprised Jay and Josh didn’t shout it from behind the camera
that explains the sudden fade in of jay’s face
It was probably Jay and jack. It makes it so much better that no one blurted it out or even suggested it in the editing
I accidentally did a spit take when Josh said “you have one money and no camera”. I don’t know why or how that caught me off guard so much

There are very few things more genuinely unsettling than Neil Breen's facial servos attempting to emulate a human "smile".
Congrats on 100 guys!
It's genuinely horrifying and now the stuff of my nightmares

“There are multiple ways to pay for a funeral.” In a warped deep tone as the tape fully dies; truly terrifying
Please do record a Nukie Spotlight now even if not to release it immediately. Just incase of Rich Evan's untimely death due to diabetes or Mike's untimely death due to alcoholism.
I'm actually more afraid that I'm gonna die of alcoholism before it comes out
All things considered those deaths you mentioned would be quite timely
...or due to old age
Nukie has already been filmed and will be released after Rich Evans dies fucking an alligator.
*nods* Money Plane.
Or everyone’s untimely death due to the haunted funeral tape
Immediately after Mike said "some kinda creepy pervert" and there wasn't a cut away or a pop up photo of Rich Evans, I knew this one was edited by Jay. Went to check in the credits and sure enough it is.
quick edit, "girls gone AOL-wol" is great
Rich Evans: "Jack, did you just do something funny?"
🤣🤣🤣
The way the word 'Boosheemy' hits Mike when Rich says it is hilarious.
"Sometimes she's a skost, and sometimes she's a skull." Here's to 100 episodes of an illiterate Rich Evans making up words.
My personal favorite, "folding chable"
@@IAmNotAHorse The original Neil Breen episode featuring Double Down.
Wow, thanks for the likes, strangers!
To be fair to Rich, Neil Breen can only exaggerate the problem by overloading your brain with pure stupid.
Rich Evans is perfectly literate. It's everyone else who isn't.
Definitely my most watched channel on YT. Congrats guys, and thanks for all the laughs!
This is the crossover I've always wanted without knowing it. What the fuck even?
These are the OG’s of modern UA-cam comedy
These hack frauds make long videos, so it's not hard
This channel is literally my background noise for working around the house
I'm a fan too but you people make me cynical
Rich Evan's dejected destruction of the original wheel was better acting than most of the movies they review.
I can't believe you committed suicide 😒
Acting?
And the movies they make as well.
He str zZaatt!! That shit
@@alexsilva28 why would you do it, why would you commit suicide? 😒
Sometimes I have RLM playing another room and can judge what I need to watch solely on how much Rich is laughing at it
