BAS Episode 21 Commentary

[geffrod]

2nd sex was more about forgiveness, putting the past behind them, and making their relationship more sincere for both of their sakes. They both wanted to feel like they were honestly having sex for the first time, because the other time wasn't the real Guts. "Bu bu but, so soon!" Bugger off, will ya! We're talking about Midland and a world where Caska felt hopeless. She was more confused about the choking than anything else (note: arrows scars--she's a warrior, she can take it)

[666blackdeath]

why choke caska when u can "choke your chicken" yes i did a refrense deal with it

[RagamuffinBabyDoll]

You're an awesome sappy schmuck!! XD

[GrifDemonLordofHFH]

yea they did it was a stinger though

[Joshtika18]

Yeah, masakoX and vegeta definately did the log song.

[jakiedark]

or casca just tought, i can die any day

its now or never

[SkyDoginthetube]

I have to disagree with that last bit.

I can see Casca being understanding there, I mean HOLY FUCKING SHIT, they've gone through some seriousley fucked up trauma over the years.

I seriousley doubt that a little choking would even be a blip on her radar.

Even if she did care a little bit, after Guts apologised and explained why (FUCK ME, if thats not a valid excuse for loosing it for a moment, what is?) I think she'd get over it.

[hbi2k]

There's a difference between getting over it, and getting over it so quickly and so completely that you want to have sex again right after.

I don't expect that she'd hold it against him FOREVER, but you'd think it would've at least killed the mood for the rest of the day.

[SkyDoginthetube]

Yeah, I can see that killing the mood.

Then again, maybe she's into that, maybe Cascas a bit kinky? Humm, somthing to think about!

[GrifDemonLordofHFH]

they did use it

[felineshadow0221]

i dont know if u noticed by now hbi2k after working with masakox and vegeta8639 (or 3986 which ever one he uses) but they did use the log song they even had sasuke sing the end myew

[gome88]

i was eating chicken wings when u started talking about the sex! you almost killed ME! XD

[prettycolors2]

screw names I just call that guy with the pony tail Goku...

[Gauldoth]

Someone might have pointed this already - Naruto Abridged did throw in the log song in the end of its second episode.

[Treopse]

That is a tasteful pic of them

[ZeroSpiritBlade]

They did have the song in episode 3 at the every end I think

[ZeroSpiritBlade]

*very

[InnocentSonya]

AMEN about the Naruto slam. I think I finally called bullshit on that series when an entire episode was spent waiting for Sasuke to show up because he was late. I started skipping ahead. "All I wanna do is see NINJAS F*CKING THROW SH*T AT EACH OTHER!!"

[Gauldoth]

You mean the freeeze frame gag? I don't get it.

[EdgeyvonKarma]

No, he's talking about the part where Guts was talking about how he didn't want the Griffith retrieval arc to be just jumping through poorly looped tree backgrounds for 20 episodes before they start fighting.

[Gauldoth]

When you go on about how finally someone gets some happiness in Berserk's world (referring to Guts and Caska), I got something in my eye. In both eyes, actually,if you know what I mean.

[Majin0KidBuu]

I think most of us did.

[angbandsbane]

You just insulted half of the Legion of Superheroes.

...ah, what are those idiots gonna do? They're still stuck in Final Crisis.

[BizzarosGarden]

I was going to say something about the Legion, they are (one of) my favorite superhero teams (sorry, but you can't compete with the TITANS;)), but yeah I have to agree with hbi2k. The Legionaries with "Lad" were the main reason I was hesitant to read the comics, but one thing that REALLY confused me was in Geoff Johns's "Superman and the Legion of Superheroes" the Legionaries "Colossal BOY" and "Chameleon GIRL" are HUSBAND AND WIFE O.O

Don't worry, they're over 18; But it still seems weird!

[angbandsbane]

Yeah, I know what you mean about the Legion. Couple months back (sorry it took me so long to respond by the way), there was all that talk about the new BatGIRL possibly being Barbara Gordon again. My only thought was "Wait, isn't she supposed to be in her mid- to late twenties?"

[KTChamberlain]

I love Ren and Stimpy, in fact I met Billy West from Ren and Stimpy and Futurama, as you mentioned in a different commentary.

[Llandner]

....didn't guts cry the first time he had sex with casca....

(not saying guts ain't cool but damn man theres a thing called "a face that you can't show in public")

(mines is a face you can't show in public)

(cause i'm ugly)

[sir0violent]

is you final commentary going to be in two parts like the final episode(s) or are you going to cram it into one video. either way, the series kicks ass and these commentaries are a perfect way to pass the time.

[jarris22]

actually they used the log song in 1 of their stingers

[WatanukiProductions]

Sex is good by the way.

[RedAngelBlackAngel]

they did put in the log song.

[LarvaLad]

Wow.....hbi2k...

I never knew you felt that way =(

[masterbassist93]

.....lol

[Wallace01]

Mister Sappy Schmuck, you f*#king ROCK MAN!!!!

[Gattsu125]

yay! freeze frames! believe it!!! (ah, what a horrible catchphrase)

yay! freeze frames! dattebayo!!! (sounds better?)

[narutardted]

sex..sex..sex..sex..sex that's all i ever really hear and it could not make me laugh any harder stuff about sex is the god of jokes

[bobmonkey420]

Naruto abridged did the log song, it was at the end like the little mini-AMV they did. I dunno if someone posted this already, just saying.

[ladlergo]

You're right. Caska really does react unnaturally well to the PTSD-induced rape (yeah, I'm calling it rape) and choke-hold, but I chalk that up to her being desperate to have one good sexual experience before the rescue attempt.

Honestly, I'm pretty stunned that she's made it as far as she has without being raped since the Eclipse. Luckily, it's one of the few things that can temporarily snap her out of her fog.

[hbi2k]

Umm... it wasn't rape. The sex was voluntary, it was the choking she wasn't into.

[ladlergo]

I'd say that while it started off consensual, as soon as he started flashing back it turned into rape, unless you'd like to call it "violent sex she didn't want.." Her body language up against the tree is "This really, really hurts and I want to escape." Guts' reaction afterward is "Oh fuck how could I have done that it was your first time just kill me now," which I don't think would have been his reaction if he was only ashamed of choking her.

That was way too tl;dr.

[BrazEyepatch]

Speaking of sex at the Olympics, didn't they send like 100,000 condoms to the most recent event?

...just googled it. They totally did.

[BurningEclipse77]

Its bagels remember

[Stallion386]

Haha

[TonyMeman2486]

NAS did use the log song for one of their stingers.

[Shadeas24]

yeah Naruto Abg. (i felt like abriviateing) did do the log song but it was for the eye catcher and Sasuke finished it, it was really funny.

[MasklessVaizard]

I think you did the end of that ep. perfect.

The whole bit when you bring a bit of seriousness to sex, make a quick comment as how in the entire series this is the only bit between two people, consenting on sharing their feeling.

And then *BAM* in with the chocking comment.

I though that bit was well and truly professionally done.

[imphic]

Poor Hbi2k. He'll be receiving corrections about the Log song in Naruto Abridged for weeks.

[EchONailer]

Naruto abriged do at the end of one of the episode or somthing like that xD

[commander144]

if you want to watch real ninjas fighting eachother hbi2k, I recommend teenage mutant ninja turtles or ninja gaiden

[nocturnalsamurai1000]

yay for sex!

[rucha58]

Just cuz your annotation sorta asked us to point it out- they did the log song at the end of episode 3.

[shula9tsuno]

if someone hasn't already pointed out. Naruto abridged did use the log song. Sasuke sang the last line of it. ^^

Don't worry about the female voice. ^^ It's muuuuuuuuch better then some other abridged series I've seen!

[thmsvrgs]

oh we did

[DarkPhoenixMishima]

A few times too

[crimsonshadow42]

I really hope they do that kind of thing again in the manga now if only the frikin writer would get his lazy ass moving and write/draw the danm thing... I hope he dosn't die or something though he must be old as hell

[tdoggninja]

they did use to log song in naruto abridged in episode 3 or 4

[ItachiD66]

is it really nessacry to curse alot i dont have a problem with it its just u dont have to curse in ever sentence u say it kinda tells that that certain person doesnt have good vocbaulary and i kno no one is perfect heck i dont even have good spelling or garmmer i also swear myself but not all the time in ever sentence i say so plz can u easy up on the swearing? and o yea im 18 so set a good example to younger viewrs

[hbi2k]

Mmm... no. That's just how I talk, at least when I'm relaxed and among friends, and that's the tone I try to go for in these commentaries. (-: Sorry. It's not that I don't respect your objection, but, well, my commentaries, my rules.

[ItachiD66]

eh...i respect it so...ill just go with it....i guess

[EHH246]

I would loved to have seen more of "The Adventures of Ted and Larva Lad" (The King Bee isn't as funny as his real name).

[squall0229]

sex IS good ^^

[kriscx]

Dude, I am SO glad you didn't change Caska's voice. By this point, her voice was signature. And I just fucking love it.

[DamuEmran]

we had to eat our own shit-You

OMG you make up the best lines ever.

[crazydud157]

haha

[MnE4life]

naruto abridged did eoside 2 of it at the end

[EvilChicken25]

Personally I am thankful you were willing to step back from the jokes and let there be a moment actual tenderness in a series built around every ugly concept ever connected with sex.

And in addition it made the shift back to funny all the more potent. So thank you for yet another wonderful commentary!

[Ydnar9999]

Dude! We all love sex, we understand!!

[ItachiFangirl1996]

yeah they did the log song at the very end of an episode...

[Anonomius0]

Is that where the log song comes from? Huh. I did wonder.

[DarkPhoenixMishima]

Yeah I thought it was just one of those random songs by some random people like the "Do You Like Waffles" song.

[rekabdarb]

well i think the reason why caska didn't really care was... because well.... it was sexy time =D

[FrobmanAKATillman]

That running joke's now stuck on to me after hearing it every now and again. Would wanna use it at least once or twice, long as it's not random or cheap or whatever,

And yay for sappiness and whatnot. Though I can't comment about sex and all that, with the upbringing I had, I'm pretty much leavin' it for marriage and all that. Old fashioned, yes, but there's also the psychological stuff about it, and it being seen as everyone's desire and all that. But each to their own.

[KZX517]

They did do the log song at some point.

[DavidStill]

Yeah, "Lad" is pretty bad to have as your superhero name, but it's not really any better than "Larva" (I actually know someone who was named up until he was about 11)

[CBBBAbridged]

oh and they did use it but at like the end of an episode not during...forgot what ya call those clips after the end of the show. I love sex 2...lol

[lubukicksass]

stingers

[littlecrazyneko411]

ahahaha I love the two guys in the beginning, lolz Larva Lad! ahahahaha!!! Nice comment about the sex scene rofl! BE LOUD, BE PROUD!

[QshesshoumaruQ]

that log song was at the end of one of their first episodes, i think the second

[BennettTheSage]

Anyone here find it oddly fitting that Hbi used One Slip by Pink Floyd for the Love scene? I mean, the song is about how during a night of passion at a friends party, they throw caution to the wind and make the beast with two backs, thus causing an unwanted pregnancy. Fans of Beserk will get the connection.

[hbi2k]

Good catch there.

[kingboru121]

Naruto Abridged did so use the log song! And it was funny

[SXAbridged]

Rad Lad - Protector of Surf Boards... and weed.

[hbi2k]

Okay, you got me, that's a good "lad" superhero. The rest can go hang. (-:

[SXAbridged]

Even "Ad Lad," the Defender of Consumerism?

... say it ain't so. :(

[DarkPhoenixMishima]

Porno Lad?

[Sidwarrious]

Let's not forget Laddio of "The Boys" who was very close to undergoing a "Guts-ian experience".

[NeonProdigy]

Having now read a large bulk of the manga (I've seen "Troll Intestine Slan" AND how Ganishka makes his horrible demon army for Eris' sake), I agree with you. Happy consensual sex between ANYONE in Berserk should cherished and treated as the rare, almost unattainable beauty that is.

...

OH GOD, WHY DID YOU MAKE ME THINK ABOUT TROLL INTESTINE SLAN?!

[AMVMaker26]

They did the log song as an eye catcher at the end of an ep.

[Abridgedfan001]

you sound like your crying when talking about the sex scene between Kasca (?) and Guts

[padaalsa]

Dude, the syaing "better than sex" is a lie. Nothing's better than sex, except more sex.

[SXAbridged]

Actually, sex is overrated.

... don't get me wrong, it's great! But society blows it up to be this big, huge end all, be all event that overshadows all others. And, it's not.

Let me put it this way:

Sex rocks! But if sex is the greatest experience you've ever had in your life, then you haven't lived a very good life.

[gosmokesome]

They cant help but to focus on temporary pleasure as true persistent happiness is absent from modern culture. Sex being the greatest legal source of pleasure.

[SageVallant]

Question: What if it's sex with a cute, 20 year old gymnast chick? Because that probably was the best experience of my life.

[DarkPhoenixMishima]

Then you are a lu-

Did she make you wear a *BAGEL*?

[SageVallant]

Actually no. She was on the *COFFEE* (if I'm remembering my AAAA correctly)

[superfrontman]

ur not remembering rite its muffin

[SageVallant]

muffin it is, then

[DarkPhoenixMishima]

lucky bastard...

[SageVallant]

You have no idea. We were dating for about 5 months, and in the sack about 10 minutes after we started dating.

Got quite a workout, and I'd take a week in bed with her over the Olympics any time.

[hbi2k]

I dunno, really what's overblown and overrated is sexuality, those things associated with sex.

The actual sex act itself is, if not actually underrated, at least severely misrepresented.

[SXAbridged]

That's a fair point, and I agree.

However, regarding sex:

It depends on what type of "experience" one is using to judge the issue.

For example, going to see the 2004 Olympics in Greece was, to me, a much better experience than sex, overall. If I had a choice between sex for one night, or that trip, I'll take the trip.

... but I suppose it could be argued that as far as "moments of pleasure" go, sex would be a better experience than any single "moment" during said trip (save for the opening).

[hbi2k]

Than sex in general? Fair enough.

Than the best sex I've ever had in my life? I'd be inclined to rate that higher, but then, I've never been to the Olympics, so I could be wrong. (-:

[SeeInShadesOfGrey]

Sex is fucking awesome. I love sex.

[StarGoddessMiyu]

MasacoX and Vegeta3986 did use the song once, they even had Sasuke sing the last line

[brokensleeper]

oh yeah, wasn't it on one of the stingers or something like that?

[Monderoth]

I could'nt quite remember that running gag you had.

[SageVallant]

They used the log song for one of their little after-episode bits.

[Fendo5k]

yay! we all got Icecream!!!! xD

[tmacsmash]

How long did it take to come up with a lame name like "larva lad"?

[daveshn]

Another nice comment episode. Have you ever thought about making the comment episodes video responses to the actual episodes?

[zrg48]

When you made those sex comments I soda came out of my nose and went everywhere.

[DarkPhoenixMishima]

Yeah Naruto Abridged did do the Log Song in one of their ending... I think it was one of the earlier episodes

[BrazEyepatch]

"Sex is good by the way. Sex is fucking awesome. I love sex."

Great, you made me spill soda everywhere. :P

[berserkchip]

Were you beginning to tear up during your monologue about sex? It sounded like you were getting a little choked up at around 4:06.

[AcidDude1232]

Yeah they did use the log song. It was a stinger from an early episode (ep 3 I believe) That's probably why you don't remember.

[Sidwarrious]

One more thing HBI you laugh like a fucking evil Gremlin or that freaky thing on Jabba the Hut's shoulder that giggles. The only way I can accept a person having a laugh like that is I have to assume you yourself are batshit crazy and Berserk AS is filled with subliminal messages that make all of us(your fans) want to lick your beard while singing songs from Beauty and Beast-While you sing all of Gaston's lines. Cuz nobody fights like Gaston.

[Sidwarrious]

HBI me and you can be Jet boy and Jet Girl. You can even be Jet Boy!

[Vfanatic1]

Way to uhhh kinda make your Virgin fans feel sad that they can't partake in something awesome kinda...making us feel bad...

[Moonie504]

That coffee sounds delicious! Man now I want me some coffee. Also I love these!

[hensomm]

creepy laugh 4:36 :P

[marioatwlink]

And that is why One Piece is better then Naruto.

[enbt93]

Sex is awesome, I fucking love sex.

... well no shit dude! xD

[GoldAnnaple]

Yay~ It's fun listening to your commentary.

The log song was used early on in the Naruto series. About ep 4 or something? It's one of those end clips which is why you probably don't remember it.

[LoftyMarshall]

hey Hbi heres a question, why dont you censor your videos? For example most abridged series bleep out the word fuck, shit etc. Dont get me wrong i love how u dont censor it, im just wondering thats all

[Risark]

He explained that it would be ridiculous for grown warriors to tip-toe around the language. BLOOD, GUTS, SEX, F*CK! Yeah, that looks a bit weird.

[LoftyMarshall]

lol true statement =D

[spikedieslol]

Also Gaston has a huge nose. Thats how I tell the difference.

[abridgeduploader]

they did have the log song... i think

[Kastorz1]

I was surprised Casca didn't pull a Lorena on his ass after almost killing her.

[sliferredleader]

At first I WAS surprised that there was originally no log joke, but I realized that you were just being original, God people are dumb, just because a joke is obvious, doesn't mean you need to do it, to quote Naruto (don't hate me because I have seen it, yes the 300+ filler episodes did suck, but if it had less filler it would be one of the greatest animes ever, aka Berserk) "If the bait is Obvious, don't take it." Kakashi

[abridgedfanboy]

Well, sometimes the obvious way is fun too...although when that happens you need to put a spin on it, like hbi2k with the algorithm joke.

And Naruto would be awesome w/o all the filler; it would also be even more awesome if they gave Kakashi a LOT more screentime.

[hbi2k]

The thought did occur to me, but I wanted to do it in such a way that it would still be funny to those who hadn't seen Naruto Abridged, and EXTRA funny to those who had. I think using the R&S Log Song was a good compromise.

[jemmytaveras]

They did actually i just can't remember the episode

[collegsucks]

300+ filler? I don't want to sound like a nerd here, but there's barely even 300 naruto episodes in existence.

[sliferredleader]

Yes, there were about 150-200 filler episodes, but as SXAbridged said, it was a really obvious 300 refference.

[SXAbridged]

Must... resist... obvious... 300 reference.

[CenetaurmanE52]

I'll do it for you.

THIS! IS! AN OVERUSED JOKE!

[ChaosMinds]

I like sex as well.

[blackkitty369]

That was an awesome commentary! And I'm not saying that like a dumb fan! I mean its cool to hear your thoughts and behind the scenes theme about this.

[thmsvrgs]

i thought they did use the log song?

[Tyler1337Admin]

They did throw it in once, hbi. They put it at the end of the first episode Log was in. Sasuke finished the song with 'it's better than bad, it's good!'.

[Ezekieru]

But, he put an annotation in there correcting himself. Therefore, negating his statement.

[hbi2k]

Well, I did ask people to correct me if I was wrong. (-:

[Tyler1337Admin]

Ahah! But I post my comment BEFORE he did such! Thus, comment is still in effect.

[Ezekieru]

Your comment is in the past. Outdated, and therefore, dead.

HA!

[Tyler1337Admin]

Don't make me get General Puddingcakes in here.

[Ezekieru]

There you go again, trying to win a logical argument with self-references.

No~

[AcidDude1232]

ummmmmm Tyler........THIS GUY CREATED THE SALARYMEN!!!!

General Puddingcakes has no chance against his nasely voice and epic genericness.

[Tyler1337Admin]

Whup whup whup, Acid. I'm talking to Ezekieru. He did NOT create 'Salaryman'.

[AcidDude1232]

sry my bad

[SXAbridged]

Didn't Arthur Miller create Salaryman?

... no... that was a salesman.

... I wonder what ever happened to that sales guy. I hope he's okay.

:p

[imphic]

lol

[danceallot]

i love sex to

[sliferredleader]

everyone loves sex, sex is great.

[thmsvrgs]

doesn't everyone and their giant gay robot?

[chiissu]

giant gay robot? power rangers???

[thmsvrgs]

now that you mention it. the zords have been getting a little fruity.but that's not it. i believe all robots should be gay

[chiissu]

(the removed ones are the same as this) i stopped watching1/2way through dinothunder since it moved timeslots and i stopped caring. but what of lesbian robots like cutey honey(not a joke she shows interest in chix in the anime xD)? also i posted that comment under 1hour ago and it got a-1. i take a shot at power rangers after it went bad and get shanked myself?(goes shakespear)what has this world come to? the messengers are slain for sending message of the weather turning? lol

[thmsvrgs]

hey i didn't mark it. but you're right i has gone bad and we should just accept it

[chiissu]

nothing about my lesbian comment on cutey honey? lol. but i liked wild force and all before it but after saban sold it to disney and they moved it to newzealand it all went cr*ppy(i miss the fox kids actors who did anime in the 80s like brianne siddal and derek stephen prince and jamison price(mon cole knights/bleach) and how they did voices on there) plus the CG got worse after a while and i miss miniatures and props being used instead of cr*ppy CG but this has nothing to do with the video lol

[thmsvrgs]

i started watching it agian when they made a new one about ninja( not the first two) and it was pretty good for like 3 episodes and then the sucking was back

[chiissu]

footlong c*cks ANOTHER ninja thing? its like they want to copy naruto or something(a hom0s3xu@l aryan hunting for his japanese lover who was seduced by micheal jackson) lol jk

[CabalCorporation]

Great! Great!

[Phatnick21]

phew, least you didn't post it tomorrow. Saturday the 14th is a very unlucky day.

[imphic]

I know what you mean. I own horror/comedy about it.

[zrg48]

awesome and first dont hate on me you know you play the first game too

[Tyler1337Admin]

No. We don't. Because we watch hbi2k.

[SpinoGod2008]
