    Wow, you were right Spoony.

    That was incredible, I was expecting some really amateurish stuff to be honest, but this blew me away. They really put some effort into it.

    I can’t wait to see the others…. can’t believe this all came from a joke you made in an ultima video. What a turnout.

    This “movie” needed a badass one-liner right after the grass monster got killed.

    “Your ass is grass!”

    Not so many people have been this inspired by grass since Cheech and Chong.

    It really reminded me of Edgar Wright’s Dead Right, the student movie he made that’s on the Hot Fuzz DVD, especially in its sense of humour (the Faculty line was brilliant). Just excellent- I laughed out loud more than once, and the ending killed me too :D

    I’m looking forward to the sequel, The Floor, now. A great video from the creators. And I have to say, Norway is very pretty as well. Very scenic. Like New Zealand is for Middle Earth, Norway is for scenic grass.

      One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, as they say. Personally, I thought this was very well done. I especially liked the cat jump scare, I’m so sick of those that the ‘wah wah waaaah’ music drew a big laugh from me. Good sense of humour as well.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Rodoy/775323495 David Rodoy

        For me it was the appearance of the grass monster itself that cracked me up. Just the angry face on the big pile of grass… I dunno. Something about it is funny. And of course the twist at the end that the battle isn’t over.

        I think it’s just well paced. The humour’s actually funny, and the laugh bits are positioned well. Can’t ask for any more than that out of an amateur video in my opinion. I got more laughs out of this than the average Hollywood rom-com.

          Sry, but look in this Thread: http://spoonyexperiment.com/forum/index.php?topic=24992.0
          There is an other Entry from Norway and ist much better than this.Its better shot, better edited, had a better Humor and is better acted as this one.As i say, the thrid Winner is great, the second is very funny but i totaly disagree with the first Winner.Really, i dont know whats so funny in this Movie.I sat here with my Brother and a Friend and we did not laugh one time.

    I gotta say, with that gravelly voice the lead sounds like he should be the lead singer of a death metal band. Seriously, gain some muscle mass and definition and I could see this guy doing independent action/comedies.

    The movie itself was fun. I like all the tropes and humor beats used, but the best part–and this is key–was that they were used well.

    Well done, Norsemen. Well done.

      Honestly I was sold from the opening lines. “Norway. A country known for its lakes and fjords, but also… GRASS”

      Pure inspiration. Should try and bottle that.

    Seeing this just reminded me of something my evil DM made against us a few years back. A field of grass with a sign that read “Do Not Step On Grass.”

    But the object needed to complete to quest was in the center of the field.

    One character set foot on the grass, and was slain by several Level 5 Fighter Blades of Grass.

    Every blade of grass was a level 5 fighter, all taking a ready action, waiting for someone to step on the grass.

    EVIL!

    I gotta admit, I didn’t expect our to win, and it didn’t, so I’m not REALLY disappointed. When I told my friend (who was in the video) that one point in every video made you laugh, he immediately said “It was probably my: ‘Grrr!’” And that just made no sense, sorry. :P

    Fucking awesome. This was not only both badass and funny as hell, it was shot and acted really, REALLY well.

    … that rhymed. I am so sleep deprived.

    In any case, I’m very glad that the threat of Norweigian Grass has been quelled and we can all now focus on the horrors of the FLOOR! Because as we all know, grass may be nature’s judas, but the floor is man’s creation and we must stop it before it gains power from the blood of its enemies! Quick, Igor! Fetch me my tessla coils! We have work to do!

    That was epic. Absolutely epic. I loved how it was set like some sort of postapoclypitic world, only with grass…and the floor as an ending was just icing.

    Really liked this entry, probably because I’m Norwegian myself.
    Fabian Sylte is a genius name, but I guess the name gets a bit lost in translation; it’s a very odd name.
    It’s like if he was called “Chuck Steak” (not a literal translation, just trying to show how the name “feels” in Norwegian)
