The Spoony Experiment

Regarding Burton

by Scarlett on July 21, 2007 · 13 comments


In which I answer the burning question on three peoples’ minds: what’s up with the blue robot behind my chair?

I forgot to mention on the video the reason why the robots are named Burton, Morgan, and Sorbo. All of them are inside jokes from years back. Morgan is named after my future wife, Morgan Webb. Sorbo is a joke where several friends of mine have accused me of having a simmering man-crush on Hercules actor Kevin Sorbo, and Burton is named after Jack Burton, the driver of the Pork Chop Express from my favorite movie, Big Trouble in Little China.

If that robot shrivels away and dies in that corner of yours, he will never live again.

Hey Noah I would totally help you with the production of that show! I might not have the finances but I would help anyway I can. What area do you live in?

Hi, I´m from São Paulo – Brazil and just love your videos, they´re amazing and I laugh myself silly watching them.
I can´t believe you don´t have your own show like the AVGN or the Irate Gamer, just a matter of time, I hope!
You rock Noah!

You are a creative person. I’ve been watching your videos lately but in some random order so basically I’ve started from the latest your entries and now I’m watching the whole history from the beginning. It’s a good idea going public by videomaking. You remind of a friend who encouraged me buying a camera. Since I love making videos myself, it’s always fun to learn (or rip off ;D) something from other cool videomakers. I really like your reviews yet I do not always agree to them. Who knows maybe one day I’ll start making reviews myself because City Internactive annoys me so much I’d rip them into pieces. Playing something from City Interactive is like playing Owe Boll as a PC game xD I worked hard one summer to get the camera but now it practically lies beneath the dust. It would be a good time to change it ;) I guess you encouraged me to do something good ;) I’ll comment more in the future since now I’m sick and tired. Usually I have much stuff to do (I’m studying hard in Vilnius University) but now’s Easter, the weather outside is superb and I have plenty of time to spend at home. Have a good one, Noah!

Hey Mr. Antwiler!

Huge fan here!

I love your stuff and I just wanted to say here that I would be honored to help you salvage this little project of yours you have here.

I may not have much to offer(Puppeteering, Voicing, commentary), but I’d love to help you out any way I can.

Anywho just wanted to say some good words to ya!

Have you thought about returning to any of your ideas since joing the That Guy With the Glasses group? I know we’ve seen the combined efforts of most of you with the Dr. Insano/Linkara episodes, as well as Spooning with Spoony, and while those were mostly one time things, you do have a capable group there, that includes geeks, gamers, and puppeteers. It would be awesome to be able to see more collaboration between you, and something like that would be the perfect reason to get all of you together.

You have more of a life than I will ever have. Don’t you dare complain!! ;)
I’m a programmer and single player and I sew plush monsters in my spare time. Need I say more?! XD
Be happy with what you’ve got. Cheers.

Two things Spoony: 1. If I lived ANYWHERE near you, I would devote my life to making the Mystery Spoony Threater 3000 idea live, but I don’t, and 2. Check out this awesome idea for the store: Burton Plushies! I want my own Burton, he’s awesome!

Man, now I wish I lived nearby. I both adore bad movies, and would love to work with someone as funny as you. DAMN YOU CONCEPT OF DISTANCE!

Dude, Sorbo, Why don’t you put a ring around that mid section, mount the arms to it and cut a slot in the back so the arm ring slides up and down the body! Damn I wish i lived near you, i would so totally help. XP
