The first time I clicked Play, youtube told me the video was no longer available, but the second time I clicked Play it played, so don't be put off if it doesn't play, just click it again. It's way cool.

I saw this for some Pulp Fiction scenes awhile back, but didn't realize how much this had taken off.
Way Cool.

Sundre's right; the meme started with the Pulp Fiction 'Say What Again' speech on this video by Jarratt Moody. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syf8olcM0z4)
The reason it's taken off as a meme looks like because there's a course in a Vancouver Art School that requires making one of these as a project, which not only explains the flood of them, but also they giant spectrum of quality.
Wow, memetic history. Nerd out. =\

I think you need to know this:
Dr. Elijah Brewster Bash IS A REAL PERSON.
I swear to god: this morning I saw a guy waiting for a bus who looked IDENTICAL to Dr. Bash. He was well dressed, but had filthy shoes and a bike that looked like it belonged to a homeless person. He was wearing a stethescope and a t-shirt that read "Its NEVER Lupus!" When the bus showed up and the bike rack was full, he started screaming expletives.
The kicker?
This happened in TEMPE ARIZONA, this very morning!
No joke!

Yes, kinetic typography is cool. But if haven't seen it before, try this:

It's a purer variation on the form. A few years old, but I swear it kicks the hell out of rejigging movie scenes (tho that is, admittedly, cool).

Another good example, not from a movie scene, but as a kind of public service announcement put to quite a foot-tappity tune.

Ben's magic touch with crazy people comes through again! Maybe he'll have an entire encounter with "screaming guy" without making him actually scream!

Oh Ben.
I didn't want you to RAT, but don't take the BLAME, you dink.
If Bash blames Scip, though, you have permission to break one of those heavy antiques with his head.

Ben's lack of knowledge about practically everywhere and everything in Templar is not doing him any favors here. I foresee Ben slipping up and some nasty syphillis head come crashing down. Grab a blunt object Ben, shits going to hit the fan in practically 6 seconds.

Bash seems mostly just pissed off at himself at this point. In the words of The Dead Kennedys: "Too Drunk To F*ck".
But now Bash (if he's been listening) knows who picked his pocket, through process of elimination. Oops.

Benny, if you start talking like a bottom, you're going to get treated like one.
Ugh. Just go. Get. Or say something other than "what do you want me to say?" This isn't your DAD Ben. Who gives a fuck about approval from screaming guy! Ugh.
I've been Ben. It's so familiar/infuriating.

Oh my god Churchyard is a gay bar i feel it in my BONES.
I swear to you, that'll be the page that launches a thousand fanfictions. I can already hear the chants of "BenXScreaming Guy=OTP."
Geez, Ben.

What concerns me the most is not that Bash is going to attack Ben, but that he had this whole scenario planned from the start. Like he knew ahead of time he was going to get to this point and he went the roundabout route of trying to make Ben trust him before he lets fly the mad screaming guy rage. And yeah, I've been Ben before, it is that moment of terror and fear where you can just feel yourself going down that awful path of absolute compliance and submission, which somehow makes everything even worse.

Eh, I don't think Bash had this all planned out. I think he's WTFing it up.
For Churchyard, I picture it as more of an area. It's not a gay bar. It's a phenomenon. Like a street of 'em or something. We'll see!

Y'know, I think despite the scenario, Ben's handling himself pretty well. I don't think he's really in any danger; he seems like he's just going to sort of weather this out. Dr. Bash, as we saw before, can get really, really pissed off, but he can go back to being nice once he's run out of ammo. Ben, even if not consciously, seems to realize this, and rather than get confrontational or try to run, he's just letting Bash rant until he cools down. It's like Scipio said, Ben has a gift for dealing with crazy people, and I don't think Dr. Bash is an exception.

Kat's got it right. It was mentioned somewhere in the forums/FAQ-thread, if I recall correctly, that Churchyard is a blue-collar neighborhood that also doubles as the gay part of town.

Aw, man, and you know what? I think it's becoming clear that while Bash may be remembering to be pissed about the cash/card situation, I think the root of his anger is based in the fact that he's figured out that he wasn't in a foursome, he didn't get laid and he's not going to get laid now. Nice selfish attitude, Doc. :O
Posted by Jason at April 25, 2008 12:21 AM
67.170.208.203
Yeah, I think Bash is really spiraling around the "I'm as lame as I think I am," drain now that he realizes Ben, Gene, and Scip weren't some exotic fling he had.

Well, at least I was semi-right. Seeing as I've never been to the forums or read the FAQ, I'll chalk that up as a victory for my shoddy, mildly retarded deductive skills. I'm gonna go do those things. Now.

I think Ben is staying because he's afraid Dr Bash might try to harm himself.

I've been going back and forth between liking and hating Dr. Bash, but it was starting to get annoying. So my natural misanthropy has kicked in and it's hatred by default.
Hey, is this where we find out that Bash and Ben's boss are the same person? [checking back] Nope, Ben's boss is "Mr. Pierce". Oh well.

I like him. I don't quite understand what he's saying half the time. Probably because he doesn't know how to complete a sentence. but I really don't care.
It's not what he says, but how he says it. And how his mood swings so easily and so violently.

Is that "Prypiat Vodka" the same Prypiat I'm thinking of? As in: "Prypiat - Home of the World's First Open-Face Nuclear Reactor!" In which case it must pack a hell of a punch.
Love the work!

Okay, Ben. NOW you can tell him the truth. It's so ridiculous that he HAS to accept it with better humor than he's feeling right now.

ah, gee. Was he talking to Ben or was he talking about some other situation?
On the other hand, I think Doc missed the fact that everyone lives in his building, and now he's queued for a fabulous and wacky journey of self-discovery and eye-opening interactions with his neighbors. Or he's gonna remain That Dick in the Basement. Spike's call.
Is he mixing vodka and milk? Somebody's got ulcers. Big shocker.
And poor Ben, indeed. Did we just get a taste of how he interacted with his own father? Eesh.

I'm thinking that the stuff in the carton is orange juice. Why it's got a duck on it is beyond me.

That's true, he did say something about being out of milk. I thought he was just spacing.
Orange juice, Prypiat and anger, he's gonna GET an ulcer if he doesn't have one already. :)

I thought the "duck" was an orange with two leaves behind it. But now that you mention it, Jala, I'd almost rather it be duck juice.

I was checking out Free Comic Book Day at TFAW.com and noticed that Templar Book 2 is up for pre-order there, and scheduled for July 30? That soon, is it true? Amazing!

I think Ben is going to try the meanest prank you can possibly play in an apartment complex. Stuff things like old cereal and other refuse in the toilet and flush. If the building has a septic tank, or if the swers are in bad shape, the stench will fill that basement for a good few weeks.
One thing to never do with this prank folks, is to flush down yeast. That stuff will grow and pollinate until you have nasty green and brown goop coming out of anything connection to the sewer. Its the kind of damage that can require replacing plumbing in the entire building.
Posted by Chris at May 3, 2008 01:13 PM
151.204.244.119
Yeah, this looks like what I've been waiting for a few years now... Ben's about to flush his meds... then maybe we find out pretty soon why his shrink is SO FREAKED by the idea that he might do just that thing.
Now, what's with the no commentary updates?! I pine for metatextual content.

Don't forget, Chris, after Ben's apartment got invaded by Zora (around July 05) he took his psyche meds out of the circuit box under the sink and hid them in his pemmican crunch box. That's what he's going for.
Posted by nanojath at May 3, 2008 01:19 PM
209.162.7.251
Definitely time to flush the meds.
After an encounter like that, I'd do the same thing.
Posted by Tyler at May 4, 2008 05:10 AM
68.39.212.247
Why would that encounter make him want to flush his meds? Does he think that they hindered his interaction with Dr. Bash?
Posted by Elle at May 4, 2008 08:11 PM
69.134.13.60
We still don't know what the meds are for. I thought they were anti-anxiety, but they could for any of a whole host of things.

"We still don't know what the meds are for. I thought they were anti-anxiety, but they could for any of a whole host of things."
Yeah, like my personal favorite theory (of the moment)- anti-psychotics.
