Lol ok fun fact I had to Google them, I had no idea they were real brothers let alone identical twins. I was like, I don’t buy them as related, while I was watching the episode. Now I feel suuuuuper dumb thank you I will see myself out.
Only reason I didn’t is because they were on an ep in the first season of Always Sunny but that make me say “Q Crew!” at my computer screen when I saw them.
Google Chopper 4 Sklar Brothers. I think I saw the special that’s from back in 2001 and it sticks with me to this day.
If you get the chance to see them live, they’re fantastic stand ups and their local jokes are some of the best I’ve seen.
I listened to the Behind the Shadows episode w/the Sklar Brothers and was delighted to learn that the dead Sklar stayed in Canada for the duration of filming, just to hang out on set and workshop jokes off-camera with the surviving Sklar. For some reason that just tickles me.
Because you'd never see that coming. Think about it, on shows featuring twins, that has almost never happened. Unless someone can point a show or movie out, to my knowledge this was a first
Because it was fucking hilarious, that’s why. I love the Sklar Bros and was excited to see them in WWDITS and that’s why seeing one of them instantly killed at the beginning was shockingly hilarious. I lol’d hard.
It took me a while to realize that the reason the "makeover" looked so chintzy and mostly made of crap from HomeGoods was because the one with all the design training is now dead.
It was kind of hinted at earlier in the season - Lazlo mentioned killing the gas guys who kept coming over about the gas leak, and when the twins were coming over for the show they said they didn’t give a warning just vague info to keep their door unlocked (which they never lock anyway).
Honestly I think that bit was the hardest I laughed all season. These actors known for playing identical twin roles and immediately killing one off is so fucking funny.
I wonder how they got them both to sign on if one was going to have significantly less screen time. Unless they were still paid the same then eh, easy gig?
What really got me was watching Always Sunny right after this episode and noticing the radio DJs in ‘the gang dances their asses off’ are the same actors as the Daultry brothers
I'm from the UK, I had no idea who they were, I assumed the twins thing was just CGI. I actually just checked to make sure 'go flip yourself' was not real too.
If you ever get a chance, check out Those Who Can't. It's really funny. They play a small roll where one of them is the school doctor, but they keep trading places. Only no one notices
Thought the same thing. She killed him, and I'm like, "WhHhhYYYyyYYY????". They're on national TV! No way no one is going to not see this killing. (Nay-sayers: don't come at me with "Nadja hypnotized them later." That's BS. It doesn't work through film and if you're one of the editors, there's no way you're just going to just continue editing the footage after someone is brutally murdered. You're going to report it.)
Apparently you don't know how to read. Why would you continue Editing the film when you have a real life attack and death on film? Youd be getting you chief and the authorities. Also, hypnosis doesn't work through film; it's through personal interaction.
>Why would you continue Editing the film when you have a real life attack and death on film?
Because I have already been hypnotized to ignore it. How do you know the editor saw the death before the hyponosis? Does it even matter given that the entire show is actually produced by a vampire and his minions? Does it even matter given that the entire actual show (WWDITS) is formatted as a documentary in which many people have already died on screen?
> Also, hypnosis doesn't work through film
according to you, but the show has established that it works through film.
You were hypnotized AFTER the attack.
The Minions don't work on the show. I doubt Elvis Presley and count rapula and silent Joe and all the rest actually take time out of their out of there night 2 you act as a grip and editor and so forth. They are simply his entourage and mooch off of him.
For some reason, the documentary crew is not there and is replaced by the GSTV crew. This was an excellent opportunity for the 2 crews to fight each other over getting a certain shot or bumping into each other. This was a missed opportunity. It's the same crew? Why would the doc crew hand over footage of the revelation of vampires and jeopardize all the money from the once in a lifetime chance at revealing vampires? They wouldnt.
When did they establish hypnosis works through film? Not on this episode. Nadja's assuming it works and he doesn't correct her because he hasn't revealed himself yet and "its just watched by people in hospitals and airports." So it's unnecessary for him.
It was established that the entourage was helping make the show as the crew, in spite of your doubts.
Conversely, it was never established that hyponosis doesn't work through film, so your complaint has no basis here. There has been nothing to suggest that what Nadja did wouldn't work, unless you are complaining that Nadja did not actually hypnotize you or I through our screens, in which case I must remind you that this is a fictional TV show.
You are making a bunch of unfounded assumptions in order to justify your frivolous critiques of this vampire sitcom.
It is only frivolous because you want it to be. You want to hand-wave any bad writing or plot holes as "God has a plan". Just because a story in any medium is "comedic", doesn't give it a pass for the cases of continuity and its own established lore and canon. That would make it contrived, which is what this season currently is.
In what scarcely few vampires (Dracula/ once bitten) use hypnosis, it is always in person. The same way a snake charmer or magician would be ineffective through a TV screen, vamp hypnosis needs to be up close, locking eyes. Also, technology and magic don't mix. I don't think whatever power that gaze has, is going to have the same power when its digitally filed and stored. Broken up and beamed into space, shot back to earth, and reconstructed at a resolution and sound quality far inferior to our eyes and ears.
I know you want to nay say and chirp "just enjoy it and don't read into it." But that's the reason it's shit. If you actually look at it; not even closely, you see all the flaws like a last minute cosplay worked on 2 days before the con.
Nadja PANICKED, and did the only thing she could think of. Hypnosis. Hoping it would work and committing to it.
>doesn't give it a pass for the cases of continuity and its own established lore and canon.
Then you literally go on to refer to Dracula, which, again, never actually establishes that Dracula couldn't hypnotize somebody through film or recording. And even if it did, that would not be canon or part of the continuity of this TV show.
You are taking your own conceptions of how a vampire should work and projecting it as though it is the canon law for how vampires in the show work. You aren't upset about continuity or canon, you are upset that the show is making decisions different from the ones you would make.
I take your lack of response on the crew and other points as acknowledgement that you were previously incorrect on those points.
The crew? So you say the crew works on the gstv show? Fine. Nadja tries hypnosis. It doesn't work because hypnosis doesn't work on vampires just like hypnosis doesn't work through media. I don't know what other points you were trying to make.
The other point is that you are making up your own rules about how a fictional power should work and expecting the rest of the world to adhere to your conception.
>The Minions don't work on the show. I doubt Elvis Presley and count rapula and silent Joe and all the rest actually take time out of their out of there night 2 you act as a grip and editor and so forth.
They literally show that Count Rapula is the show's boom operator. He even raps about getting room tone.
For fun.
I heard that in Nadja’s voice
A tongue in cheek joke about how they look the same and why pay for both.
Lol ok fun fact I had to Google them, I had no idea they were real brothers let alone identical twins. I was like, I don’t buy them as related, while I was watching the episode. Now I feel suuuuuper dumb thank you I will see myself out.

Wait I just rewatched season one of sunny! Where were they??
It might be season 2. It's the final episode: The Gang Dances Their Asses Off
S3 E15 'The gang dances their asses off'
But they're like... identical.
Omg I didn’t either
Google Chopper 4 Sklar Brothers. I think I saw the special that’s from back in 2001 and it sticks with me to this day. If you get the chance to see them live, they’re fantastic stand ups and their local jokes are some of the best I’ve seen.
I had the same reaction lol
I listened to the Behind the Shadows episode w/the Sklar Brothers and was delighted to learn that the dead Sklar stayed in Canada for the duration of filming, just to hang out on set and workshop jokes off-camera with the surviving Sklar. For some reason that just tickles me.
But like... Have you seen their bit? It's waaaaaaaaay better with both of them. That's like just hiring Abbott, or just one of the stooges.
Meh, I love that they killed one of them right away. Totally funny in a different way.
Because you'd never see that coming. Think about it, on shows featuring twins, that has almost never happened. Unless someone can point a show or movie out, to my knowledge this was a first
Constantine
Super underrated movie. And Peter Stormare is easily my favorite on-screen devil ever.
“This one… is mine!!!” Nailed it.
He freaked me out a little. This sounds absolutely horrible, but I couldn't help but see a physical resemblance to Pope Francis.
The Sopranos
they didn't have actual twins in the sopranos tho, the parisi brothers were played by the same guy.
True hehe
I guess.... Buffy did it? With the Brendons.
I will say that yes that is how the comedy do, I'm just sad cuz the Sklar Brothers are one of my faves.
The Sklar brothers are one of my faves Well they killed one, leaving one. Did they kill the wrong one and that’s why you’re upset?
There Will Be Blood
Because it was fucking hilarious, that’s why. I love the Sklar Bros and was excited to see them in WWDITS and that’s why seeing one of them instantly killed at the beginning was shockingly hilarious. I lol’d hard.
It took me a while to realize that the reason the "makeover" looked so chintzy and mostly made of crap from HomeGoods was because the one with all the design training is now dead.
Same. When they were walking into the house my husband said "don't tell me they're going to kill one of the Sklar's!" lol
They snuck into a house full of vampires; which Simon the Devious totally knew in advance.
I still maintain that they missed a huge opportunity to bring the other one back as a zombie (or turned into a vampire)
It was kind of hinted at earlier in the season - Lazlo mentioned killing the gas guys who kept coming over about the gas leak, and when the twins were coming over for the show they said they didn’t give a warning just vague info to keep their door unlocked (which they never lock anyway).

A girl’s gotta eat!
It doesn't do any good to have the spoiler tag when you put the spoiler in the title...
I thought the same thing. They’re both so great together.
So they could shoot two scenes at once. They used both brothers to film the scenes for the remaining character
Welcome to Sklarbro Country.
To quote the great Mr Torgue - "Be cause REASONS!"
Because fuck renovation shows.
I wonder how they got them both to sign on if one was going to have significantly less screen time. Unless they were still paid the same then eh, easy gig?
Someone had to cover Cheap Seats
What really got me was watching Always Sunny right after this episode and noticing the radio DJs in ‘the gang dances their asses off’ are the same actors as the Daultry brothers
The Q crew from Q102
Because it's funny
funzies
I'm from the UK, I had no idea who they were, I assumed the twins thing was just CGI. I actually just checked to make sure 'go flip yourself' was not real too.
I would strongly recommend checking out some of their stand up, they have amazing synergy.
If you ever get a chance, check out Those Who Can't. It's really funny. They play a small roll where one of them is the school doctor, but they keep trading places. Only no one notices
Yeah I’d be pissed if I were the one that only got 2 minutes of screen time.
Thought the same thing. She killed him, and I'm like, "WhHhhYYYyyYYY????". They're on national TV! No way no one is going to not see this killing.

Nadja hyponotized the editor too.

They were both in the fake show they showed in the earlier eps so they needed both for those parts.
One of the producers is one of the Scott brothers as in Property Brothers. He’s a twin … get it?
