Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: preggers photo

Nobody seems to like this week's episode of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin', but that's okay, because I do.

I usually have trouble thinking of something else to write for these HAWP promotional posts. Only today did I suddenly realize the obvious -- I just need to repeat my favorite GameTrailer user comment! It'll fill space, and make us all feel a lot better about ourselves.

Why the hell didn't I think of this earlier?

MY thought : Too long build up :/ Cut the first part with the doctor and scramble it and go nuts with it youtubepoop style and insert the ashley scene after 30 secs :D

Did you really expect this episode to do well. hell I love pretty much all the episodes of HAWP except this one. This one actually kinda pissed me off. I mean im sure some people like dead baby jokes but im not one of them.

Sometimes I wonder about you Anthony Burch. Maybe that ChocoTaco had a worse effect on you then you originally thought.

It wasn't your best, but anything to piss of those ignorant kids at Gametrailers is fine by me. I like it when they try and be all mature.

yeah, i've got to go with "terrible" on this one. now don't get my wrong, i love HAWP with all my heart, but i think the fact that their friends got to basically have their own episode and how cool that was clouded Anthony's judgment. that was really, really bad.

Way too long of a build up on that one. Really ruined it overall.

Holy shit. I almost stopped watching, but the episode was saved by AMAZING!

I seriously nearly spit coffee at the screen when the punchline finally hit. Nice save Burch.

I too also like-to-love HAWP, but this one went too far--in run time, pacing, and overall taste. I got the joke, I did...but dead baby jokes grossed me out as a kid and make me ill as an adult.
Sorry, but the worst one by far. Regroup and do more Metal Gear jokes.

The slow burn was so worth the great payout at the end. Good job. Offensive content for the win!

Perhaps a bit too slow, and I might have edited out a bit of the melodrama to speed things along, but eh, its alright.

Bad... Acting. C'mon Anthony, don't you know that people need to seem realistic to make it work? C'mon, and the lack of variation in the shots just made me want to run up to the video and kick it for knowing better but not using it's knowledge to the betterment of it's quality. Sigh, anyways please please make more HAWP episodes, but make them better... Please?

Is HAWPDVD ever coming to region 2?
I understand that you wouldn't make as much money, and you might even lose money, but it's kinda annoying getting an advert for a DVD when you can't buy it.
It's like leaving out some Give Blood leaflets at an AIDS and HIV support group.
(Which, according to local legend, is what my local community centre did.)

This was a good episode. The haters just be hatin' -- well, and the fact that a lot of people don't appreciate dark humor as they properly should.

I thought it was great, I don't know what everyone else watched. The long buildup totally payed off tenfold when it got to the end.

I love dead baby jokes, and I'm pretty sure this video still gave me cancer. Too much build up for too little payoff.

Just because something could be seen as "offensive" doesn't automatically make it funny.

I love inappropriate, politically incorrect, even racist or stereotypical jokes, but this sucked.

At the start, I thought it was some kind of apology for the Geometry Wars episode and was admittedly kinda boring (although the 2-second flashbacks to the spousal abuse were pretty funny just because they kinda popped up outta nowhere), then right near the end of the skit I was like "WTF? Stillborn what?" and when Ashly's punchline came up, I just busted out laughing.

And I thought your favorite GT comment was the "your face is as big as a dinner plate" one.

Showed this to a friend of mine. She was pretty bent out of shape about her miscarriage a few months ago. I was hoping she'd lighten up about it. She said I was sick. I guess some people just don't appreciate good humor.

I'm gonna show it to another friend who's dealing with an abusive husband. Hopefully she'll finally see the comedy gold in domestic violence.

I just got my HAWP DVD in the mail. I don't think I've been more excited for an internet based show on DVD. Also, the Preggers ep, I dunno.

I posted my thoughts on the GT video but i'll post them here again.


First... I loved the Wipeout drumming =P

However, that's about all I loved. Either I'm too dumb to understand what was going on or the episode was too catered to you, knowing what the episode was about, and left us in the lurch.

Also... the acting was bad. I know that's an odd criticism giving the nature of the show (your not going for A grade acting here) but it was even laughably bad. It was just wooden and cringe worthy, on par with watching my brother's nativity.


Still, love the show, just not this episode.

Too much build up. Too little pay off. The concept of making Imagine Babies gritty or whatever is good but this one didn't really turn out.

I really love HAWP, but this one was a huge "meh" to me.
Oh well, I just watch half a dozen other episodes, laugh my ass off, and forget this one ever happened.

All this needed to make it UBER funny was for the doctor to say:

"I'm genuinely sorry Mr & Mrs Cushman. I'm afraid I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that there's no heart beat. Your baby is still-born... but the good news is that it was a retard. So, it's A-OKAY!"

For me, dead baby jokes are one of the highest forms of comedy. I don't get why people didn't like this.

If Ctrl-Alt-Delee taught us anything, it's that miscarriage can be fun!

Actually, that last sentence seems cynical. I genuinely hate Ctrl-alt-del, but this HAWP was genuinely funny. Anyone offended by a joke is a fool.
