Tucson or Bust: Desert Bus 2009

[J2000J2000J]

4:08 the sign says: "FAIL LOL"

[Lancer873]

Oh lord, I just got that joke...

"I'm gonna grab a Penn and Teller that I miss her"

DB 5 was great. It was my first year, and I watched it every day... now if you'll excuse me, I have a week's worth of homework piled up.

[SGYDK]

man I don't think I can make it for the next hour. so excite, favorite time of the year is desert bus time

[ffmorton]

now desert bus starts today way to get pumpped

[14051996]

Iam addicted to this song!

[Cuzup]

Only 32 days, 6 hours, 54 minutes, 30 seconds left....

[cyber952]

Another month and a half and it'll be bus time again! I've got fifty dollars set aside to contribute to shenanigans.

[CoolGuyWithAShirt]

Creature talk. Lyle :D

[Okysho]

What exactly is Any holding while driving? It looks like a lazy suzan... the kitchen spinny, wheel thing. It also doesn't look attached...

HOW DOES HE DRIVE THE BUS?!

[ThatGuyTayla]

@Okysho He drives it with magical catchy song!!

[MasterXivilai]

Love the sons hat at 3:12 :)

[TheStickyNoteKing]

Easily the best Desert Bus for Hope yet! All hail the Octopimp!

[cravenmagic]

Actually really really good song, many times people make songs on youtube for stuff and the singer is horrible. In this case your singing was great and the video was edited very nicely. Kudos to all involved in making this video and those involved in Childs Play!

[GrymHood]

13 people have regular sized heads.

[jolt583]

bus drivers....

respect those poor folks

[siriswane]

ha gonna write my wife a letter grab a "Penn & Teller" ha i get it

[DeathNote7181]

13 People dont like Cat Girl Coffee

[waZelda]

I wish Catgirl Coffee bars were real.

[Stratocaster05]

Ahahahahaha... BUSt... I get it

[dmitriwillguard]

12 people hate the children. :(

[samprastherabbit]

Why is Tally dressed like that at 2:56 ? All I can say... daaaaaaamn

[dmitriwillguard]

@samprastherabbit Better question: Why didn't we GET her dressed like that THIS year?!

[samprastherabbit]

@dmitriwillguard Lol, glad to see I'm not the only one! I wonder what they were singing for that particular donation...

[JoelChenFa]

Suffering from withdrawal... ....

[Tr1sh4Lynn]

Even better was hearing Andy do this live during #DesertBus 2010

[ZephyerDK]

I'll see you busers again next year in 2011 :)

[niall142]

Is it just me or does 8 hours not sound that bad for a "Desert Bus"?

[bl4xb0x1]

@niall142 Try three 8 hour trips in a row.

[linkdragon0]

FIVE HOURS!!!

[semysane]

17 and a half hours to go!

[linkdragon0]

Only 1 day 10 hours left!

[HerefordMadMan]

4 days left now until desert bus 2010 :)

[Blackwarkthephoenix]

Really wish I hadn't missed 09. This year, I will see what there is to be seen.

[ColdGamersProdutions]

9 days!!!!!

[Svejser]

Two weeks. Two meagre weeks, then it's bussing time.

[MrAstrav1]

I love this song.

[TheGreyStranger]

19 days. 3 hours. 19 minutes. Until Desert Bus 4.

[ickyzorro]

I am absolutely ashamed that I hadn't heard of the loading ready run crew until so recently. Not only are they brilliant, but they suffer the worst game in existence for a good cause. Can't wait for desert bus this year.

Oh yeah, and this video is amazing.

[busdriver153]

lol

[OZITOMAE]

you havent seen your family in months?....i wouldnt blame ya lol

[OZITOMAE]

everytime i went on i missed this stuff gahh

[Tellmeimaninja]

Andy's wooden steering wheel is quite pimpin', if I may say so myself.

[thatryanguy]

STILL epic.

[collin1000]

Anyone notice the wooden steering wheel at 2:02? Dashboard goes away for a bit

[letswatchstuff2009]

Seeing that quick clip show realized how much i missed overall - dammit LRR update the desert bus youtube account!!!! (please)

[41dhos]

Ok, where did the great music come from?

(listened again)

[cooldaddy3]

OCTOPIMP

[DazrafGamer]

"Grab a Penn and Teller"

[porgy29]

still so good

[MemoryOfGravy]

I never get tired of this video.

Still getting nostalgic for Desert Bus after seeing all those clips.. I feel really lucky to have seen some of it as it happened, but still so much awesome contained in those brief clips that I never saw! Morgan looks rather awesome in eyeliner, it's gotta be said!

[chstens]

Kathlene is delicious :P

[SAWcompany]

all thats left is to wait for desert bus 2010!

[FatherTime89]

@SAWcompany

Only 10 months to go (I think).

[SAWcompany]

[kill100578]

@SAWcompany Desert bus 2012 now

[isnanesavant]

XD

Kroze and the HAM BANNERS!

Best cameo evrar.

[TheWhitmore]

Am i the only one that felt a little sad when the song ended??

:')

[LilysRebirth]

God fuck tucson rofl

[TheOctopwn]

is that a lazy Susan? its not even connected!

[PastafarianPriestess]

Haha, awesome. It reminds me of the Arnold Rimmer song from Red Dwarf a little bit... hilarious :3

[Skinnyoompalumpa]

fookin catchy man

[Tron9222]

love the penn and teller reference, such a great catchy now its on my mp3 player, kathleen looks so cute with the sad face ahhhhh good stuff guys

[FatherTime89]

@Tron9222

wait how did you get an MP3 of this?

[Tron9222]

@FatherTime89 a program called Vdownloader, you can grab stuff ou youtube and Download it in mp3, avi, mpeg all kinds of stuff

[pantslesswrock]

BIIIIILLLLLL!!!! *shakes fist in the air*

[SteewpidZombie]

I love this song, and I almost missed the Penn & Teller reference XD

[FrankSinatraComefly]

Wow, this song is really catchy.

[MattyboyJ]

Brilliant, simply brilliant.

[BigMac8000]

Oh my god I can't stop hearing this song in my head.

[redchili23]

Same here. Caught myself singing this song in school today.

[FatherTime89]

@redchili23

I've done that several times, it's an awesome song.

[HaudNomen]

Use the space-jump. You'll get there faster.

[hyperswivel]

had this damn song in my head for almost a week now. God damnit! Make it stop!

[BigMac8000]

Me too! I came on here because I can't get it out of my head, I need to complain about this.

[annemjw]

Yay, that was great!

[Kandoh]

AHAHA! "Grab a PENN & TELLER"

Tried to slip that past me, did you?

[thereisnoneo]

Bill Fail Lol

[akatsukimaster666]

paul with mustache

[slack3r9]

wonder how many ppl catch the "grab a 'penn and teller'" line, hehe nice insert

[KristofskiKabuki]

I like how he appears to be driving the bus with a chopping board

[janaoo4]

lol oh goodness Cathleen your adorable as Cat Girl coffee girl lolz.

[badboy2o0o0o]

I noticed someone said something about the fact he's constantly jerking the steering to the left.

This is cause the games this song is about is where you drive a bus for 8 hours and the bus veers slightly to the right.

[hilariousnickname]

I did not notice that. That's so awesome.

[qeinar]

nah you drive forever i think, it NEVER stops! O_O

[hilariousnickname]

You drive 8 hours straight, for one point. You can then drive it again for more points. I'm not sure if you can quit at the end of the first 8 hours.

[roccuno]

You can quit whenever you feel like it. Just turn the system off.

[hilariousnickname]

Good point.

[hidnshadows]

It asks you if you want to return to the menu or drive again.

[badboy2o0o0o]

what's the name of the dance they're doing at 2:40 I forgot the name of it.

[dmitriwillguard]

Caramelldansen.

[bawkbawkboo1]

Anyone else notice the kroze & the Ham Banners sing at 0:40? awesome video, I watched a ton of the event and donated like $50.

[FatherTime89]

what's this song a parody of?

[dmitriwillguard]

Nothing. It's an original composition by Andrew Cownden.

[theGameQueen]

The small little things in this video made the big differences, the Octopimp sign, the cat girl coffee, the 'I Am Appoint' sign. The video is brilliant, I applaud you Loading Ready Run, your charity is amazing!

[gameking218]

This video needs a major motion picture. Admit it; we would all watch a musical called "Tucson or Bust" starring Andy!

[hilariousnickname]

Oh Hell yes I would.

[hidnshadows]

heh grab a penn and teller

[stealthgrrr]

I want to favorite this six times. Love Andy

[hilariousnickname]

This was brilliant, I really liked it. But the previous year's video that marked the end of the Busing outshines this one by about a mile, unfortunately. I feel like I should be shot for disobedience to Andy...

Also it was really obvious you were just holding that steering wheel in midair, although that actually made it even better because I kept having Plan 9 flashbacks. I love that movie. It's just so horrible.

[Radioactivcheese]

dunno, it was good, last year's was better.

[loneroad]

Great song. I love your guys' stuff. You should release a LRR album of songs you've done over the years. This would be a great introduction. It feels like a great lead-in to something.

[hidnshadows]

and include the flight of the batmon or whatever the X2Y song is!

[Chasmodius]

It may not have been "funny" but it was very clever and humorous on several levels. Excellent job, guys. Impressive editing, especially considering the production values you have to work with.

[CurtDogg]

I'm getting some Canyon.mid flashbacks with this video.

[BrownGaijin]

I'm gonna write my wife a letter

and grab a Penn and Teller...

Duuuude... nice plug.

[falconnight]

No! You guys are Awsome!

[xchaveyx]

LMAO does he put up his middle finger at the end when he gets on the bus?

[empath69]

Yeah, he just loves Vegas THAT MUCH ;)

[rasmusxp]

Well, it wasn't really funny. But I guess that wasn't the point. I liked the relaxed nature of it. It fits.

[AndrewSavesTheDay]

How's my Driving?

Am I listening to Queen?

Call 1-800-555-FAIL.

I cannot begin to describe how much I laughed at that.

[rockpapercynic]

Fantastic! I loved the "BILL FAIL LOL" road-sign near the end. Also, the "pen and tell her" pun was SO well delivered.

[poopsled]

Ha penn and teller

[Moriarty70]

And on the 16th day God looked down and said, let there be big head codes

[CadeAntilles]

I've watched it twice, now, and I love it even more! :D

[divineagent]

Also, should have auto tuned. :)

[divineagent]

Way to go on the Monday upload. Or not.

[zed141]

Octopimp! Man is a god.

[SakimoriX]

Great vid! Nice touch with the "137 000" license plate (too bad you didn't have a final donation total at time of editing). Loved all the references sprinkled throughout!

One note, though: shouldn't Andy have been steering left the whole time (or maybe jerking the wheel left, then returning to center sporadically)?

[dmitriwillguard]

"One note, though: shouldn't Andy have been steering left the whole time (or maybe jerking the wheel left, then returning to center sporadically)?"

Maybe he's driving like Bill? ;)

[Korbei83]

Way to flip Vegas the bird Andy! :D

[letswatchstuff2009]

LOL i love paul looking normal as the ticket guy in Tucson then being the exact same just with a moustache in Las Vegas

[slack3r9]

oh andy, why are you so great

[empath69]

If you have to ask, you just aren't listening. ;)

[thexsoar]

carameldansen! great vid!

[PivotStorm]

lold me!

[SwiftOmega]

Wooden wheel ftw.

[empath69]

Hey, Andy still does better than Alan Tudyk in the pilot episode of "Firefly" - at least Andy's HOLDING SOME SORT OF CONTROL! ;P

[KzapProductions]

Amazing video well done, the effects were great - but in a load of shots in the middle I can see Andy driving with a wooden plate.

[empath69]

Hmm, I thought it looked like the seat of a wooden stool, myself; not bad, considering THE BUS ISN'T THERE ;)

[JaredinSnow]

Epic video and <3 the highlights!

[phobiandarkmoon]

Ugh. Just realised - "grab a Penn and Teller"

[CGwonder]

Took me ages to get that too- I laughed so hard when I did though!

[dmitriwillguard]

Picked that up right away, personally...his deadpan face sold that line so well. XD

Also: "Teller's Discount Lunches" and all the other background references made me giggle.

[phobiandarkmoon]

We are very appoint. Loved the Bill Fail LOL sign

[otterbuab]

you are all appoint

[stormagnet]

APPOINT

[OZITOMAE]

i cant belive i missed most of it

[ninjabunneh]

Love the video! All the little references made me smile.

[g1rg1rg1r]

I had to watch this several times to catch all the references, and I'm still not convinced I saw them all.  Awesome.

[ig7157]

If that was lip syncing it was really well done.

[41dhos]

Awesome, so awesome!

They live feed definately needs to be a higher quality for Desert Bus 2010. Those clipss in the middle make ustream look like "it has the resolution of a brick"

[azutz87]

I think my favourite part of the "steering wheel" It's a table top, and it's not attached to anything...

Oh! I'm in the background twice! Yay.

[eyesofnova]

I think thats a lazy susan to be honest :-D

[bradtomblin]

I'm in the background TOO! :D

[azutz87]

OMG! It's like we were THERE! lol

[munky932]

Something about the sad Kathleen with the giant head at the coffee stand is deeply disturbing to me. Somehow reminds me of Weinerville, if you guys had that show in Canada.

[nitro734]

Simply amazing. This video is why I follow Desert Bus.... quality entertainment (for the children). The memories we all share of the Desert Bus For Hopes gone by and all of the children we have all helped... the musical. Woo!

[pantslesswrock]

The Penn and Teller line was AMAZING.

[arronjvance]

Love the subtle insertions of:

"I'll grab the pen & tell her"

"Bill Fail lol"

[flyingdev]

Man, so many references! I think that Cat-Kathleen doing CaramelDansen will be etched into my retinas forever. That's not a bad thing!

[badboy2o0o0o]

thank you flyingdev I love you. you have ade me remember the caramelldansen.

CARAMELLDANSEN FTW!

THRUST FTW!

[bradtomblin]

Aww you guys, I miss DB already....

Thanks for the memories :D

-CIVB

[Wilcroft]

Much better now that it's sync'd.

All the little things you notice the second time through (Like the bumper stickers or the ads in the bus station) just make this video even more awesome. Way to go, guys!

[roccuno]

I'm not a real big fan of the Jib-Jab style thing, but I did enjoy the video nonetheless.

[iOutRave]

wow its actually weird to see you guys in such high quality.. much better then the feed on ustream :P

awesome video also

[bobshiskabob]

yes so much better, nice job guys

[WulaLion]

What a great voice he has. And the songs he sings rock. Though I am curious. Does he write and sing his own songs?

God this video was friggin awesome to come home today from work.

[dmitriwillguard]

Andy does, in fact, compose his own music--including this song, which he improvised during the very first Desert Bus for Hope event back in 2007.

He was also on Eureka recently--I really hope they make him a recurring character.

[WestNinja]

Lol, I thought that was him! Not a very good episode though...

[dmitriwillguard]

Yeah...at least it was a unique set-up for a flashback episode?

[ChasePiat]

WAY To go on the octopimp reference.

cant wait for desertbus 2010

[alynnidalar]

Whoo! Awesome! Totally worth the wait. Love you guys!

Aww, Kathleen's sad face. It was win.

[SquareShapedSoftness]

Epic.

[Cheesemon0]

i still love that Penn and Teller reference 3:17

and the bill fail sign lol

great video

[BattleGamerNews]

So much better now that its all synced up.  It was distracting before.

[MudkipMan7]

Ahhh, thank you, this makes it so much better!

[TheSh4dows]

Two videos in one day? Ya this makes up for it being late O.o

[narotoking]

the adio in the fisrt was not good (sound didnt match with video).

[TheSh4dows]

Yes I noticed after I commented they took off the original version.

[narotoking]

sound fixed?

[narotoking]

yup, fixed...

[waverider2600]

Kathleen's sad face was amazing

great desert bus song guys!

again...
