It's always weird when a cult classic ends up on BotW. The only worst thing about Surviving Edged Weapons is the way it pushes the "EVERYONE COULD KILL YOU, EVERYTHING'S A POTENTIAL WEAPON" message onto police who watched it.

I'm too squeamish so I hope someone makes a censored version of the full video.

I cannot believe that when I saw Mike at the beginning of the video edge the wheel onto the police tape I thought "aww man, this is probably gonna be trash"

if you pause the latest wheel at the right moment, you can see Mike forcing the wheel to land on the video they wanted. Just a little insight.

Is there a message by Rich and Josh sitting on the B.O. side

It's actually really interesting that cops may be more likely to murder people for no reason if they're mostly trained to assume everyone is trying to brutally kill them all the time. I guess that's sort of obvious but it's pretty cool to see it in a crappy VHS video full of terrible Milwaukee accents

With the confirmation of Josh smelling good every shipper of redlettermedia personalities was left scrambling trying to make sense of this new unexpected ship of Mike x Josh ( or mosh as we like to call it).

The SS May and SS Mich are running the strongest though. I essentially ship Mike with everyone.

Holy shit that intro to Surviving Edged Weapons. I had to pause the video because I couldn't stop laughing. I haven't had to do that in forever.

I love the wheel of the worst.

yay!

Ed Wood is a great movie to actually show that love for 'bad' movies of the past.
(edit: I only saw it once though, not twenty like someone... Mike)

edit2: dug up my initial comment on it back from 2015 when I had watched it, just posting it here for reflection purposes or whatever:

Plan 9 from outer space (1959). I figured it would be best to watch one of Ed Wood's movies before viewing the Burton movie about 'the worst director of all time', and to some degree it was. Also something of a chore to sit through, as calling it 'bad' would definitely be an understatement. The nonsensical dialogue, scenes that barely connect, barely passable acting (see dialogue though)... The really amazing aspect of it, no doubt, is his ability to get these things made at all. Reading up on him and the actors did give more meaning to Ed Wood (1994) though. I'll admit, it was a great movie in both summarizing the person and showing the tricks of the trade during the movie (lighting, punches, stock footage, miniatures, etc). However, I don't feel much love for a mediocre director, and while Depp gave it some charm by playing him as naive, not malevolent, it is obvious that Martin Landau completely steals the show as Bela Lugosi. And while the octopus scene and others are taken directly from the movies, this movie feels more interesting in its meta capacity than in its own story (like how the directing itself takes the form of a '50s movie). Personally, I had more fun with other Burton movies, though on the upside, this movie and its subject does explain where Mars Attacks! came from.
Also, Vincent D'onofrio with someone else's voice is kind of weird, but does fit the meta-thing, since Plan 9 had ADR on people whose lips were clearly not moving at all.
Oh, and Sarah Jessica Parker: "does my face really look like a horse?". Is that where that meme came from? A throw-away line? Harsh. :(

Ed Wood is also a movie I love and watched numerous times.
Oh no. I have things in common with Mike.

If you're into bad movies, it's well worth the watch! It's definitely not the worst ever made, as questionable as some parts can be, haha.
I got it when Destroy All Humans came out as a pre-order bonus. It was in my closet until fairly recently, I really should give it a looksee. It looks really fun.

My favorite moments in RLM usually involve Mike laughing genuinely at some dumb shit alongside the others. Where he can't control his laughter.
