Anyone here ever watch this web series? Its hysterical, the recent episodes can be seen at thier site www.redvsblue.com An archive of all of thier released episodes can be found Here Its a comedic dubbing over the video game HALO. More like puppetry in game. I find it kind of odd because all the characters are evocative of the archetypes found here. Sarge reminds me of Eric the Hun, and Griff of SteyrAug. Sgtar15 is Church... I'll not ruin it by telling you who reminds me of cyanide. |

Oh yeah, big fan here. Sarge OK, listen up, dirgbags. If we're going to invade this fortress, we need a good game plan. I have two options we can use. No. 1, we run at the base in a single file line, screaming at the top of our lungs. The enemy will be so flabbergasted that by the time they are able to regroup, we'll already be inside. Tucker Oh, yeah right. They're not going to be surprised. They'll just start mowing us down. Sarge That is the inherent beauty of the single-file line. They can only kill the person in front. So if we order from least important to most important, with Tucker in front and me in the back, we just might make it through. Simmons Don't you think that Caboose should be in the back since he's the one carrying the bomb? Sarge No, Caboose is in front of me. We need someone in back who can objectively evaluate how the plan is working. Tucker How will you know if the plan isn't working? Sarge If Caboose dies, I'll know we're in trouble, and immediately abort. Grif Sarge, while that's the most retarted idea I've ever heard, I'd just like to thank you for not putting me in front. Sarge Don't get misty, Francine. We'll have already killed you and used your corpse to jam up the windmill. I think we can all agree given our current situation, it's the perfect plan. *silence* . . . OK, well let me tell you about my other plan. |

Donut And . . . action! Simmons Hello, weary traveler, we represent the timeline. Sarge I am the past, when things cost less, and people knew the worth of a hard day's work. But they only lived to be 28. Simmons And I am the future where we have no morals and no emotions but we have a lot of kick-ass gadgets. Grif And I'm the present, which sucks. We have nothing cool, and also no morals. Donut And I am the helpful narrator, a faceless voice used by poor writers. One day, in the present: Grif Why does bad stuff always happen in the present? Simmons Because that's when people do stuff! Sarge Ahh, quit your bitching. I have atrocities and a crapload of wars that seemed very important at the time, but now seem trivial and stupid. Simmons Yeah, and I've got apocolypse. And that's way worse than anything you two dipshits have. . . . sorry sir, that "dipshits" was in character. Sarge Oh. Well, bravo Simmons. |

Tucker Hollywood doesn't understand apocolypse. They think that if you take one little thing away from everyday life it's the end of the world. Like in Road Warrior it was gas, and in Waterworld it was land. Simmons What was the missing thing in The Matrix? Tucker Sunlight. Grif I thought the missing element was plot. Simmons I'm talking about Matrix I. Grif Ooh. |
When my class went on Senior Trip to Disneyworld, my friends and I (a group of die-hard RvB fans from the beginning) ordered one t-shirt per character, and wore them on the flight down as the RvB crew. We must've looked pretty strange, going through security with "blue army" and "red army" on our shirts... While going through the gates at Magic Kingdom, we saw a little kid with a "Church" shirt on, completely coincidental. I got to be Caboose Hey, it beats "lightish-red" Donut!

I wore my Caboose shirt once to Disneyland and had a couple of people come up to me talking about the show. The best though is my Kalishnikitty Shirt. I swear I have 20+ people come up to me laughing about the shirt every time I wear it there. |
