  • *Resident* What's your favorite thing about anime besides the porn?

    *Guy* Uuuhhh....

    Best line XD

  • Kaname from vampire knight!! :D

  • I almost cried when I saw the Kaname-"cosplayer" I mean; a Japanese manga? Holy smokes, who'd figured? And wearing something incorrect in a costume just seems wrong, when you're trying to do cosplay, stay to the actual outfit, else it's not.. "cool".

    Plus.. define the word "nerd", is there an actual expression, 'cause it seems people disagree with each other?

  • lol, what a cunt^^

  • rorschach was so creeper!

  • She couldn't visually identify a "lightsaber"? Sigh....

  • 2:00 That guy has never had a conversation with a pretty girl that lasted this long in his life !

  • does the word "Nerd" includes all the smart people with glasses? or the freaks who watches porn, read comics and acts wierd?

  • @kaziabir1

    I think pretty much everybody who you just discribed there...

    P.S.: You don't have to be a freak to watch porn. Almost all men do it. Admit it.

  • 3:01 ! ha ha

  • lol That's awesome!

  • I wonder if The Resident will be making the MOCCA arts fest in June?

  • Staying impartial fail:)

  • AHHAHAAHA...and i think i figured out who it's all for, NERDS, see ya next time..HHAHAH

  • roarschach...what a dick. he just got upset cuz u made him look stupid.

  • besides the porn?......eh....

  • I love it when you go to conventions. Keep em' coming.

  • The Resident would make a good Lois Lane....yum!

  • Nerds are taking over. Even hot chicks are now into comics, gaming and superhero movies. Jump on the bandwagon, Resident! Plenty of room on the nerd express!

  • oh man kill me...

  • Amazingly funny. Never did D&D only cosplayed in Halloween till 6th grade...and I learned what LARPing means till I saw this video... yet I was there to apply to companies as an illustrator! The convention seem to has multiple functions :), no?

  • Loved it! That was great!

  • for the record. I'm not a comic fan - have never owned an issue but I don't prejudge any subject or unit of analysis. ... don't know if those words make a nerd not of this pack... take care.

  • Lori... I respect you a lot but "nerds"?... seriously, if you do research on the whole phenomenon of cultural production you will realize that the core industry players generate a lot of political sub-conscious introspection... example, why is captain america dead??? because some sense that traditional conventions of what uniquely american are being eroded for new conceptions... ok.,,. just thought you were being a little harsh on the consumers of a segmented market...

  • Come on Lori - loaded attitude / questions much?? where is the more even handed approach that is sometimes more oft here.

  • i wonder if the predator was mecican...

  • I am not Mexican, I guess your stupid to realize the Mask is hollow so it would sound totally different wearing the mask.

  • you've developed some attitude! this takes me back to the E3 cover, last year? You sitting on some sort of vehicle - not moving - saying "outta my way!" i use it so often lol.

    ta :D

  • Geeks and Nerds... not just Nerds.

  • Hey, Tony Bedard here -- the "bohica" guy who writes the R.E.B.E.L.S. comic. THANK YOU so much for including me. This thing was funny as hell! I haven't watched your blog before, but I'm definitely your newest fan.  And not at all offended by the "nerds" comment. :-)

    PS: R.E.B.E.L.S. #1 in stores Wed, Feb 11th!

  • So, you actually played D&D?

    Man, i wish i was there...

  • much better, not so mean this time! Gotta love the Rez! :o)

  • YAY NERDS!!!

  • MOre!  More!

  • I saws this video and I saw myself. Not myself in real life but people who are like me....then I cried.

  • I LOVE IT!!!! Lori you made me laugh.

  • Wow i caught myself at the end realizing i actually watched this TO the end. How amazing is this..

  • Your such a good reporter.

  • I was gonna go this year. didn't work out. Next year I will go though. Always wanted to go.

    I see no problem with expressing yourself and truly enjoying your interests. Where else can someone go dressed as their favorite character?

    Comiccon is no different from a sports convention or a car convention.

    Anyone who knocks D&D should give it a try. Fun times...

  • Went to my first Comic Con last year, in Bristol, bought myself a signed Drawing (of Storm from the X-Men) from Yanick Paquette. It was epic.

  • hey who buys this shit

  • You are such a good  video lady, thanks I love your videos.

  • Just saw an amazing clip where British comedian Armando Iannucci obtains a signed confession from a former American football player

  • ...and the resident is not a nerd?!

    Come on she viticmized that vic tim bimbo!

  • :D Hey, come on - and re last week's show - it's not like she ran up and down the isles with a cape on, enquiring "Who needs this shit?!" Part of the conevention at any convention is to pull the leg of the attention seekers and enjoy the back and forth as they attempt to educate while you play dumb n' doubting, right? Fun stuff, a good eye on the convention scene. I tried hard not to laugh because my brother once took D&D very seriously. I failed.... :(

  • Hit up my first local Comic Con last year, and it was pretty fun. I'm not at all into comic books, I don't play any role playing games, I'm not big into video games except Rock Band and the odd sports game, and yet I *still* had a good time!

    I mean, I got autographs from John DeLancie and LeVar Burton, got a photo of me dressed in Ghostbusters garb with the car, and even bought some super cheap Archie comics for my friend and his wife for Christmas (they love them Archies). Fun times for all!

  • haha, funny and charming as always. Good to see some nerd rage in the comments section, bless!

  • I killed you @ 3:38+, lol. Nice Interview working lady!!!!.

  • Those conventions are the defining line between geek and nerd. Judging by the comments here, lots of nerds in denial.

    NERDS!

  • I don't find this offensive... I was there and while walking around even I thought "damn, look at all these nerds". As a group dedicated basically to cartoons, you'd think we could have a sense of humor about it and laugh at ourselves. Yes there's a "loser" aspect associated with being a nerd, but there's worse things you could be stereotyped as (catholic priests for example), so lets just get over it, OK?

  • Kind of abrasive, dont you think? Your videos have been going down hill very quickly sweet heart, they used to be informative and witty. But they've been getting pretty hostile.

  • I agree. I don't mind her criticizing certain subjects, but she is not presenting anything but shallowness.

  • that was racist, the resident.

  • Wow L, judging from some of those comments, you touched a nerve!  The nerd crowd is always happy when you're doing the sarcasm with someone else...

  • Hmmm you were kind of a bitch in this one. You don't always need to be sarcastic, let the nerds have their fun.

  • yea she was a bitch

  • Hahaha check out the guy at 3:02

  • i've always liked the resident, but i just didn't like her tone in this episode... :(.... she seems to be insulting everyone there with her attitude towards it.

  • It's not nice to ridicule a culture of which you have no understanding.

  • COMIC CoN = Room full of virgins

  • i was there and i'm not a virgin

  • dude. Nerds fuck like rabbits.

  • This was good. And as always a great interviewer.

  • hahaha that was great!"what else do you like about anime?" lol

  • This ground has been pretty well trodden by Triumph the Dog and Ben Lyons, I had hopes for something more inventive than "LOL YOU GUYS ARE NERDS." Not your best work, Resident!

  • i think your choice of words was kinda faulty...look, I've never met you before but from what i see i'd consider you a nerd...

    i'm with Dangerous talk on this one, geek sounds more like the word.

  • I agree. I was hoping for something more original. This convention is played, though. Gotta find more interesting ones. :)

  • GEEKS!!! There is a difference!

  • I'm a nerd! Although I've never been to a ComicCon I've gone to a Toy Fair. Can't wait to see you go to that.

    Go Resident!

  • Nope,not funny...not anymore...

    Hey RESIDENT...FIND SOME GOOD SUBJECTS!

  • Ahh! lol I love Vampire Knight, though I'm not sure I would fit into that crowd at Comic Con xD

    Great Video =)

  • this was. awesome! Well done, Resident. I've asked this same question about ComiCon so many times. I mean, I get comic culture, but, seriously, what IS it all about? haha!

    Peace!

  • FYI: Next week, same time is the Toy Fair.

    My buddy who works for Necca Toys will be there;

    so they're skipping Comic Con this year

  • Yeah, I want to go to the Toy Fair even more! Toys are even more fun.

  • Please go to the Toy Fair. I'd love to see that episode!

  • I killed her as the predator, such a fantastic interview!!!.

  • word!

  • A sweet kiss from Italy

    Bye

  • The Resident is so mean! (But funny)

  • Call Amnesty International! Resident has been harpooning defenceless geeks with her spears of sarcasm!

  • ahahah

    "wat's ur favourite thing about anime?" *guy makes up an answer in his head*

    "besides porn" *confused*

    3:26

  • the jedi dude looked at her boobs lol

  • nerd power!!!! and the Resident is with us.

  • You know it! :)

  • lol you got the guy at 3:33 good!

    could you do a music fest. some time??

  • Usually when I go to those, I'm not working! hahaha. But they are fun fodder for sure. :)

  • You know Resident, you're a nerd too but of a different variety--lol

  • Comment removed

  • Since im a Comic-Nerd I always wondered what the Resident would think about Comics.. now I know ;-)

  • What makes a person choose another reality for himself?

    What makes a person neglect himself, and shut his eyes from what is real?

    I believe that nobody who feels acceptet and beloved, would choose a fantasy before reality. How cruel must life be for theese people? They shut theyr eyes from what surrounds them !

  • Please Plato give me your insight into the forms. You seem to have such insight into the true nature of reality.

    Instead of believing that these people only do what they do beacause they are unaccepted, why not just accept that other people have differect interests than you.

  • I question where the interests of other people may come from. I just talked to "Teenage mutant hero Aristurtle" we agree. I did not mean to offend you, It just seems so strange to me. And I believe that there are some people who are in such a condition as I pointet it out and I find that sad. And I'm definately not the only one who feels like that.

    Best Regards from Athens

  • Comic Con IS for nerds. So true.

    Wish I could go. :(

  • That's a great conclusion. =)

  • This was good! .....lol XD

  • I take it you didn't like(don't like)the nerds. Comicbook fan = jihadist. I correct myself, that equation is wrong. Nerds have no duty. The Resident = comicbook fan. Am I wrong? I'm checking myself; I'm going through my notes.

  • i loved the dude in the flash costume. Maybe ya should hit the weight room before, uh, trying that out.

  • res is such an inspiration. did you see how she motivated rorshach to be greta garbo? what amazing powers!! hey, wait a minute....

  • ps... i live in manhattan i wish i "bump" into u sometime when ur shootin; your vids. but, if your gonna be by javitz lookin at "chotchkies" and "nerds' it prob won't be anytime soon! :(

  • rez!!!

    you startin trouble at the javitz center again? i go there too but only for photo stuff.. i don't got the "connections" to get free tix to that toher stuff...

    anime... "other than porn"... lol you are too much!!!!

    comicon -- what freaks!

  • That's a fake video! The real resident would've come up with a wittier ending than that!

  • Meh, I was expecting more.

    For someone as intelligent as she seems, I expected something out of the box. A little effort into seeing the show from a larger point of view. Instead of rehashing some stale old "nerd" jokes.

  • no its not for nerds ur fucking crazy. lol its for jocks

  • that dude with the light saber probably almost punched you in the throat for saying wand.

  • The world should have more nerds!

  • Why does the Resident have to be hatin' on the nerds. Nerds are people too.

  • I ain't hating! I'm a nerd, too! :) I'm just saying. Comic Con is for nerds. I was there too, right?

  • Tis true. Much respect due to the Resident.

  • Yes u were there and now im even more sad i didnt attend what would have been my first comiccon. Thanks for covering this one res. I would love a "The Resident" comic about a nerd lovin liberal reporter that gets herself into all kinds of situation in the Big Apple whilest trying to uncover mysteries about life...that would so rule!

  • yes it is for the nerds.

  • I'm at a comic book convention, AND I JUST WANNABE LEFT ALONE!!!

    ha

  • comics 4 life!

  • hahaha i love the resident.

  • LARP!!

  • arghh! I totally forgot it was this weekend. I went to Darwin Day instead. Yup I'm a nerd and proud of it!

  • Good choice! Darwin rules. :)

  • "nerds" ???? hater.

    besides San Diego comic con has more celebrities from movies like hellboy, sin city, xmen, etc.

    not so 'nerdy'... hater!

  • SAN DIEGO COMIC CON!!!

  • wow resident you've been getting really mean lately...

    .. keep it up!

  • nice video as always

    5 stars

  • It's pretty much a place where all the nerds congregate, kinda like church, except Kid Flash is the God.

    Chyea, nerd Heaven!

  • your there cool stuff

  • NERDS UNITEEEEEEEE

  • "It is called Comic Con" Hahahah that made me crack up. Nice job Resident!

  • Anybodyelse noticed how theRes is getting abrasive , condescending, put it another way, a pain in the ass! lately in her interviewing?

  • Well, more antagonistic, but for some reason I find it pretty funny.

    I still faved

  • I'm not usually a hater, but you are incredibly unlikeable. I've seen a segment from Conan with Triumph the dog with interviews of people at comicon that makes fun of them, but in an over the top way. You just seem mean and rude. And not very funny while doing it. I think I'm unsubscribing from you finally. I don't really like comics, but if comics make those guys happy, let them have fun. You're attractive, yes, but your videos lack substance.

  • nice work resident, again loved the vid, i couldnt help notice that you might of belittled the people there alittle bit, i picked up on that, but all in all, i enjoyed watching

  • wow stop being a bitch, people like doing what they want, and they like comics so be don't mean you gota say shit about them

  • haha wow i love the resident interviews. way to go!! wooooooooooo

  • Thanks Tarzie! :)

  • I love your "work"...

  • haha! your awsome! ^ ^. you should dress up! Lol

  • Lori you have to go to a Star Trek convention. That would be way to funny.

  • Motorcycle, Car, and Resident Favorite DV Expo.

  • lori, what's next the friggin car show?!

  • Sweeet.  Too bad the "Rorschach" player was too stunned to roll with the question.

  • The panels are the best part. And the people - you have to like the people.

  • ugh I wanted to go today! Prob go on sunday

  • Nerds rule!!!!

  • Lori seems like a bit of a nerd herself!

  • I'm a TOTAL nerd! I admit it, have no problems with it. :) It's much easier than trying to be cool, haha.

  • HAHAH.

    The jedi kid, and rawshack man FTW. I can't even deal with your interviews anymore, they are so sarcastic it kills me.

    hhahah. <3

    Keep 'em comin!!

  • vampire night <3 x

  • too much panning around!

  • "I don't know...were only an hour in...there's a lot of Dream still to live."

    Right on brother...right on! ..........LOL

  • lol at the guy who was at a lost for words when porn didn't count when having to say what he liked about anime.

  • LOL I know. Typical male. :P

  • That guy was the nerdiest looking one on the video.

    I wish I could go to comic-con because one of my favourite youtubers has his own little boothe there. His little "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" parodies are so funny.

  • comic con used to be about comics, now it's just about promoting movies. Or well the sandiego con is mainly about that. I would love to go to a con 1 day but, I wanna go to 1 that caters more towards comics and not just whoring out to Hollywood.

  • The "beside the porn" comment was hilarious. That guy probably hasn't seriously reflected on women's rights before... or reflected on reality either!

  • Nerds/Geeks have lives too just with other Nerds/Geeks. LOL

  • I kind of like that you have started reporting on events that wouldnt be considered mainstream, though I miss the more poignant commentaries you used to do.

    I dont think you are really making fun of the convention. Anyone who has ever attended a comic or sci fi convention knows how wacky and campy they can be. It would have been more funny if you got into the spirit and put your hair up in the Princess Leia ear muff style ;)

    How about visiting a gun show for your next video?

  • He only watches it for the porn!

    That's kinda like this channel. Porn. Wait, is that right? Who cares.

  • Great job, as always.

    You are at least as good (sometimes better) at being a smart ass as I am, and my hat goes off to you.

    In the words of my prophet, Neil Young, "Long May You Run".

  • thanks man!

  • Lay off the nerds.

  • "Alright, I guess I'm leaving" was well placed. I'm a nerd. . .but I do not much like comics, I just haven't liked any since I was a little kid. Some of them have. . .good illustrations e.g. Todd Mcfarlane's works but generally it just looks like crap written as crap.

    PS: Even if you were to go to an anime convention, I doubt your insults about it would pertain to me, as I hate shit like Naruto, giant creepy looking anime eye, stupid looking anime hair & character's having the same face

  • you know what I don't like about your style of reporting? You're close minded and make fun of the things you don't understand like people who read comic books or gossip magazines.. etc

  • i agree, this one isnt as bad as some of the previous interviews (like the musium) but she doesnt try to understand who shes interviewing.

    and one thing bout comicon that she either missed or just didnt care about is the press conferences. any movie that has anything to do with modern action is ALWAYS there. well thats what i have noticed from all the bootlegged footage on youtube and all these sites reporting on movies

  • and the ones that made fun of themselves. how do they fit into your close minded theory?

    and your style of video making is what exactly?

  • BOHICA??!!

    We extraterrestrials,have used that term,when we are on Repetitive Probing Gatherings (RPG's)

    But there is no "game" involved.

  • i like to wear the incorrect pants cuz i like to be cool!? what a fucking GEEK

  • What's with the slightly sarcastic, degrading tone in your videos lately? We want the funny, optimistic, open minded girl from the earlier videos back!!

  • Got to love the geeks.

  • OMG, you should start your own comic book.

    The Resident : the anti-mainstream media demon and her faithful sidekick, Camera boy.

  • Or possibly "Camera Girl".

    The only time we've been privileged to see who's behind the Rez's camera was as a fuzzy reflection in a shop window - and it was a camerawoman, not a cameraman.

    But that was quite a while ago, so I don't know if that's still the case now, though.

  • lol awesome

  • saw you on russia today :P

  • BOHICA!!!

    BEND OVER HERE IT COMES AGAIN!!

    lol, unbelievably funny

  • I'm a nerdfighter all the way, but that is just taking it too far. I loved the death scene with Predator though. :) You rock, Lori!

  • For a convention goer myself, we basically are a bunch of nerds and geeks, lol. But it's normal to us. :P

  • the jedi guy is cute

  • Pretty lame, Laurie. I was impressed by your earlier vids, like the one when Vonnegut died, but you've become increasingly superficial. Anyone vaguely involved with the media knows Comic Con has become a pop culture venue, games, anime, genre movies.

    Modern comics have some very powerful works, "The Watchmen," David Mack's "Kabuki," for example. This focus on the nerd element of comic fans has been a recurring theme of mainstream news coverage; I thought The Resident was more alternative.

  • I totally agree. I used to be a big fan, but every video I have seen of late has been so negative, not funny, overly sarcastic, and shallow. There is so much potential to actually educate, or discuss. Instead I'm seeing criticism and negativity,
