My Surreality (Episode 12)

Stopping for the night, David, Larry and Chase find themselves sharing their hotel with some unexpected guests. But the ghostly patrons are just the beginning of the surreality that is "the Haunted Hotel".

Dudes -- seriously. That is the funniest episode since the guys did that one thing that proved in equal measures to be pivotal, ironic and evocative of early Fellini.

Well done. The parallels to Kant's own systematic analysis of self and universal being are subtle but tangible.

Bravo, I say. BRAVO.

Bold analysis, Mr. Jersey.

But does this hold up? Have you considered the ghost not as a metaphor but a literal interpretation of our own failings to grasp the nature of past, present, and future as an undivided whole?

Regards, and in eager anticipation of your reply.

What are you two talking about?

This is just a funny show! Enjoy it!

And besides ...

This is clearly a foible and not self serving didacticism.

I suggest re-watching mid period Truffaut for a better understanding of what the directors are trying to grasp with their penetrating dialogue and insightful mirth.

While both your hypothesis prove to provide intellectually stimulating concepts. I propose another method of perception, perhaps the authors intended the content to manifest more our own inner-struggle with our concept of self and spirit.

Surely the scene where David Penn and the body guard Larry Gibbons earn their room and board is meant to inspire a direct link to our own battles with our inner demons. And possibly to an even larger extent, the human race's struggle to understand it's own need and desire for darkness and destruction.

After all, if there is no darkness, how can there be light?

I was more absorbed by the fact that this is sponsored by Holiday Inn Express.

If one takes the first letter H of "Holiday" and finds the corresponding numerical value in an A=1, B=2, Etc. Cryptology, then you obtain the value 8.

In similar fashion, I of "Inn" and E of "Express" yields the numbers 9 and 5, respectively.

Thus we have 8,9 and 5.

The sum of these numbers is 22.

Grover Cleveland was our 22nd President.

Grover of Sesame Street fame is blue.

In many diverse cultures blue is significant in religious beliefs, brings peace, or is believed to keep the bad spirits away.

There is a ghost in this video.

Ergo ... I am totally freaked out.

And may I suggest that Larry's reliance on his gun is a reflection of society's reliance on violence as the terminal solution to all conflict while the presence of ghosts suggests the inevitable mortality of man in the dog-eat-dog environment man must struggle to endure every day.

And may I also suggest that "g-g-g-ghosts?" is a nice homage to Shaggy from Scooby Doo.

I'm going to use these conversations as my study-notes for my Philosophy final that I'm taking...

if I don't pass its all your guys' faults

Blame it on San Andreas if you must find fault.
I think, therefore I am.

This is one of the funniest i've seen so far. Great job. The ghost walking through the wall was VERY well done.

keep up the amazing work

hahaha, chase was in porn!!!

what were you guys talking about, again?

Great interview with "Break A Leg" creator/star Yuri Baranovsky over on Tubefilter.

Great video. Keep them coming. I can't wait for your next one!

i'm stringing someone along in the youtube comments trying to convince him that claudio and humphrey are played by two different actors. i mean, it's like superman and clark kent!

Kevin

I saw that...careful kevin, this is how death-threats start

July 23, 2008 |

Tahko

besides, who's to say they AREN"T played by two different actors?

dun dun duuuuuu

Yuri hasn't yet published it, but considering the topic of my latest blog it's really weird that you're all spontaneously talking philosophy.

Jimmy Scotch

Perhaps akin to Nietzsche's concept of perpetual return Jimmy? No, actually that's nothing like it.

I hate your blogs Drew, I hate them so much, they make me think and feel and they challenge me to be a better person every time, and...(...) I hate them...

I looked you guys up on imdb, and you have a 9.8! good job!

I like this episode! I Need something more like that!

The main use of Solar China energy to work, when the Solar Panel during the day in the Monocrystalline Solar Panel, the light energy into electricity stored in Polycrystalline Solar Panel, and then from the Flexible Solar Panel at night as the lawn of the Amorphous Solar Panel (light emitting diode) to provide power. The main advantages of Portable Solar Panel, Solar Regulator, 12V Solar Regulator, and 24V Solar Regulator.

Combination of several problems in the 48V Solar Regulator Solar Light Regulator. Solar lawn light control switch, designers often use photosensitive resistor to automatically switch MPPT Solar Regulator, solar cell itself is actually an excellent Solar Inverter sensors, light activated switch with it, features better than the Modified Sine Wave Inverter. For just a 1.2VNi-Cd batteries using Pure Sine wave Inverter lawn lamp, Inverter With Charger module from the four Grid Tie Inverter in series, low voltage, low light at lower voltage, and even days without the Battery Charger is lower than 0. 7V, causing Solar Power System switch failure. In this case, just add a Solar Kit directly coupled DC Solar System, you can solve the problem AC Solar System.
the level of battery voltage control load by Solar Home System. Solar lawn Grid Tie Solar Systemoften time-continuous rain Solar Light can be maintained high, and this increases Solar Flashlight cost. We are in continuous rain Solar Lawn Light reduced the battery voltage Solar Road Stud and the number of Solar Street Light, or to reduce Solar Camping Light day time, so we can reduce the system cost.
Solar Charger encapsulated form. At present Solar MP3 Charger are mainly two kinds of packages, laminating and epoxy. Solar cell lamination process can guarantee more than 25 years of working life, Epoxy though it was beautiful, but the Solar Phone Charger life of only 1-2 years. Therefore, 1W following low-power solar lawn light, life requirements in the case of not too high, you can use epoxy package, there are provisions for the use of solar energy lawn lamp life, it is recommended to use laminated packages.
flashes dimmer. Gradually MPPT Solar Controller light is a good way to saving one hand, it Capacitor china increase the effects of Solar Laptop Charger, on the other hand can be controlled by changing the duty cycle of the battery flashing the average output current, extended working hours system, or under the same conditions, can be reduced solar power, the cost will be significantly reduced.
three-color Motor Run Capacitor switching speed of energy efficient lamps. This problem is very Wind Turbine China, it even determines the life of Solar Iphone Charger, three-color color Wind generator China efficient start up to 10-20 times the starting current, the system to withstand such a large current circumstances, may have a significant voltage drop solar lawn light can not start or repeated Windmill China, until the damage.
