Tell Pete that, unlike G, they're fictional, bat your eyes, and let him convince himself it's a healthy Kool-Aid.
Won't help, trust me. Besides, he's completely baffled by my being caught up by SPN, since I don't have the same "Gah! Pretty!" grabby hands thing going on that the rest of you do. I'm fascinated by the charater interaction and the setting.
(mmmm, G. Excuse me, I have to go back to paging through buzznet.)
I don't watch gag reels. See, fourth wall issues comma my.
I
love
gag reels. (I also don't have a fourth wall issue.) I love watching people crack up, and unlike America's Funniest Home Videos, gag reels do not involve elderly people with their pants falling down.
There is a slayingly hilarious XF gag reel bit where Gillian Anderson is supposed to call somebody a liar, and she just goes with it and shouts out, "You lying sack of shit!" and there's a whole minute of the camera just sitting there while the audio records every single person in the room (including her) horselaughing.
I'm fascinated by the charater interaction and the setting.
This is why you're our Bobby, isn't it?
I'm fascinated by the charater interaction and the setting.
Oh, we have that too. Around here... somewhere. I swear.
(Don't we?)
I'm fascinated by the charater interaction and the setting.
I am, too! When not, you know, blinking all startled at the pretty.
This is why you're our Bobby, isn't it?

Yes, yes it is. I've gotten used to it.
I love gag reels. (I also don't have a fourth wall issue.) I love watching people crack up,
Me too. I love seeing the shit that goes wrong and how they deal with it and handwavium. It's like when I'm watching theater - I love it when something obviously goes wrong in a non-catastrophic way, just so I can see how the actors react.
It doesn't bother me to see actors breaking character on the gag reels, because part of the pleasure for me in a show is watching how well they act, and this gets me closer to seeing the mechanics of what they're (the actors) are really doing.
Count me in among the gag reel lovers.
Yes, yes it is. I've gotten used to it.
Poor JilliBob.
how the actors react.
Also, they are way prettier than the people on America's Funniest Home Videos. (Although I think the apex of gag reel humor is soap actors, who have to churn it out like it's acting boot camp, and thus their uncontrollable gigglefests are rare and precious and always a little strained with panic.)
