Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: The Most Dangerous Game photo

I'm pretty happy with this week's episode of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'.

I was kind of worried that the subject matter may have been too grim to be funny for most people (a la Geometry Wars), but the ep seems to have gotten a pretty good reception so far.

If you feel the video Diggworthy, feel free to lend your support here.

I'm also trying to convince Ashley Davis to start selling videogame hoodies like those featured in the video, but the chick won't budge. Maybe one day.

Very well put together, cool use of lighting and pretty well played.

Geometry Wars set the high bar for grim HAWPs. This is merely a 7 on that scale.

Any unwell feelings about the Preggers episode have been diminished in this one. The only thing that would have been if Ashley had a Jigsaw-esque mask or something.

This really came together at the delivery of "Pokemon Snap."
Though the whole "Why are you doing this?" "Gotta catch 'em all." could have used some more spice to it, since you can imagine we all knew that line was going.

Again -- superb. As always.

cool use of lighting? you mean cool use of changing the colour channels?

Good episode, but I was expecting more General Zaroff. Cute pokemon girls are cute.

Loved it.

But you guys need a new camera.
And unless you meant it, Pikachu's shadow is obscuring Ash's face during "gotta catch 'em all"

Still love it.

When I saw the Squirtle's note I thought "this is awesomely twisted." But Ash's line right after caused me to let loose a loud "HA!" Awesome ep.

I still hate preggers not because of the dead baby joke but just because it was a pretty bad episode though this episode made me forget all about that.

The correct term is "Papa Burch"

Contrary to popular belief, Cape Buffalo is not the most dangerous game.

The fake laugh feels in character with Ash's character to me, in that it comes across as unnatural and a wee bit disturbing.

I did love this one. Ant with the boom box made me, I kid you not, laugh out loud.

Great editing; I had a minor panic attack when I saw the rock actually strike Squirtle's head.

The two things I loved the most about this were the fact that Pikachu was charged to kill Squirtle while Squirtle was only charged to pick leaves. That was such an awesome non-sequitur. It's the sort of thing that good comedy is made of, surprising the audience with unnecessary twists on redundant plot points. But then the whole fact that the HAWP episode was Pokemon Snap rather than vanilla Pokemon was amazing since it let you sort of tongue-in-cheek reference the show's intro catch phrase and then use it as a punch-line. I think your show works best when your incorporating pastiche on an insane level and this episode was a prime example, mixing Saw with Pokemon with the most dangerous game sounds like it shouldn't work on paper but it totally does.

MAN DON'T YOU KNOW ASH KETCHUM WASN'T EVEN IN POKEMON SNAP IT WAS SOME KID NAMED TODD AND YOU NEVER HEAR BE THE VERY BEST AND TODD RIDES AROUND IN A GLORIFIED TRICYCLE CALLED THE ZERO-ONE DON'T YOU GUYS KNOW ANYTHING?! GAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWD.

I'm kidding, of course. Loved it. I'm stunned the ep's made 30 pages of comments over on GT already and no accuracy complaints have popped up beyond Pikachu's use of a rock, but at the same time, I'm not sure if much of the crowd over there is old enough to have actually played Pokemon Snap.

Anthony, this might be the best one yet. I really enjoyed it. Also, you should put out the Squirtle picture with "KILL IT" under it so I can print it out and place in on my cube wall at work. Davis' work on the hoodies is indeed excellent.

This one was my fav. But I think it would have been better if ash was crossing "Pokemon on Pokemon Homicide" off the list at the end instead of Pokemon picking leaves.

This episode was amazing! The pokemon costumes were very well put together. The idea to put something cute like pokemon and something brutal like the saw franchise was good. Ash's funny accent when she says "I want to play a game...", is so funny.

Twisted episodes of HAWP are the best. Mostly because of the comments.
