Do you realize just how fucking clever they were with this ending?
Let me explain.
They make the reference obvious. He was killed by a scorpion, then the camera pans up to a picture of a tank from Halo, commonly known as a Scorpion.
However, this is not all. As fans of Red versus Blue probably know, Burnie plays the character of Church, who was killed early on in the series by a Scorpion. (In fact, Burnie himself alludes to this in episode 2. Some clever foreshadowing there)
But wait, there’s more. When Church was killed, the Scorpion was being piloted by Caboose, who is voiced by Joel. You first find out that the blues will be getting the Scorpion in episode 2.
You find out in episode 2 of TLR that the scorpions were released from Joel’s office.
So to recap, in RvB, Church (Burnie) was killed by Caboose (Joel)’s Scorpion.
In TLR, Burnie was killed by Joel’s scorpion.
You first found out about the scorpions in episode 2 of both shows.
The amount of thought that went into that ending was absolutely incredible. Either that or I’m completely overthinking this. Either way, hats off to the writers for coming up with that.
I think the episode 2 thing might be overthought. But death to burnie by joels scorpion sounds pretty on purpose
So what does the line "One likes to draw dicks" have to do with Burnie being killed? Or is it there just to throw people off?
Cameron Morr Burnie was being a dick by letting Chris die and shrugging it off like it was nothing. Church is just a dick in general.
Cameron Morr i don't think its meant to throw people off, its just a description of one of the people there. The rhymes don't have to be about one specific person and the death that follows. Like the part that says "one trapped in the floor. one ran out air and then there were four." could just mean one person is trapped in the floor and someone else ran out of air.
I love the way the deaths tie into the poem. Gavin literally tripped over himself, and Bernie just got killed by Joel's scorpion the way Church was killed by Caboose driving a "scorpion" tank
I see they received that puma I sent them
Yep. Still haven't seen that tiger I sent though. Shame, really.
Anyone else re-watching just for Ryan's scene?
Chris Russo
Ayo! Nice choice.
(side note: How hyped are you for 11 little roosters?)
IT'S CLEAR NOW. YOU HEAR THE RVB MUSIC ONCE BURNIE DIES. IT'S LITERALLY LIKE HIS DEATH IN RVB. CABOOSE KILLED CHURCH IN THE SCORPION. JOEL HAD A SCORPION THAT KILLED BURNIE. THE MUSIC IS WHAT GIVES IT AWAY
James Hamilton that's what it is. It's kinda obvious when they play the rvb music. Do you not watch rvb, or not see season 1.
+James Hamilton That's what it is though... "Life imitated art and then there were six"
Wow Ryan's character is awesomely crazy haha. And RIP Church.. again.
TheAgentTexas Nah, they probably have extra Burnie-clones in the fridge near the sandwiches and coke.
G_Man That project was aborted, now there's nothing left but crusts and and a little bit of coke
Burnie's 'Suit Up' Weapons:
A Black jacket
A Tatical Vest over the jacket
A Pistol
A even bigger pistol
Katanas
And the most deadliest weapon of all.........a Whiffle Bat
And then he goes for a even more bigger Pistol before getting stung
***** A LUGGAGE FULL OF SANDWICHES?!?! THAT. IS. OVERKILL!!! GET RID OF IT!!
I love the references in this.
I'm sure I'm here thinking what everyone else is. "He got stung? How the hell is that a pun? God Rooster Teeth this is so OHSONOFABITCHSCORPIONTANKKILLEDCHURCHFUCKINGFUCK"
OMG, i JUST go that! That's a freaking brilliant RvB reference right there
*****
it's Church from the old Red Vs Blue days
who died from friendly fire from a tank, Burnie played Church's voice I think
Isaac Evans Not only did he die from friendly fire, but it was friendly fire by caboose.
Who voiced Caboose? Joel. Who did the scorpion belong to? JOEL. WHO WAS COP BURNIE'S PARTNER IN THE RT SHORTS??? JOEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!*
This is my favorite death of the series. The way he died and how it ties into the poem is just perfect.
these guys are all good actors. But I've seen them in their natural goofy states so often it's hard to take them seriously.
I CAN DO ITTT
What the killer doesn't know is that there is a Snail Assassin slowly tracking them down and will be there sometime to kill them.
It will be too late, the snail is too slo- THE KILLER IS THE SNAIL. IT ALL MAKES SENSE. THANK YOU
Watching Ryan slowly going crazy is the scariest, saddest, and coolest thing in this whole series. I'm gonna be so upset when (if) he dies. He was instantly my favorite character.
I love the throwback to Empire strikes back on 2:43
Ok, why the fuck didn't it think of that! Oh I know, I've been thinking with logic and not the rt way witch is puns and refrinces! Ok so here are my ideas:
Six little roosters, some often streamed live. One dyed to scale and then there were five. Gus will dye of getting impaled by a pitchfork because baby Gus dyed by a fork so he will be dyeing to scale.
Five little roosters one trapped in the floor, one ran out of air and then there were four. Ok I think Ryan is dying then because of Edger being the one in the hole the weapon will be the air tight hole or sum thing like that.
Four little roosters, still trying to flee. One got what they wanted and then there were three. Ok I think Lindsay will dye then because she wants a cat and so the puma will kill her, (Pumas are cats btw).
One dyed of a pun. I think Barbra then because she makes puns.
The killer was killed. Adam will dye because I think he is the killer because he's always getting his beard stuck. Maybe wile covering his tracks!
And then there were one. Miles will be the survivor because in the beginning he didn't have an envelop of a murder so there would be no reason to kill him. So in recap:
Six little roosters, some often streamed live. One dyed to scale and then there were five
Victim: Gus
Weapon: a pitchfork
Five little roosters one trapped in the floor, one ran out of air, and then there were four.
Victim: Ryan
Weapon: air tight underground chamber
Four little roosters, still trying to flee, one got what they wanted, and then there were three.
Victim: Lindsay
Weapon: puma
One dyed of a pun...
Victim: Barbra
Weapon: UNNONE
...the killer was killed...
Killer: Adam
Weapon: UNNONE
..and then there were one.
Survivor: miles
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
And that's my gesses. Oh yah, one more thing, why would the killer know of his deth? And what the fuck was happening to ryan! He was doing grate acting though. And nice cry Gus! Lol
Congrats for reading. All this! XD
I feel barbs the killer, think about it "one died from a pun" who's most likely to make a pun a weapon, good old dunkelman
I think you have the next death right buy not how gus will die i think he may die by a bathroom scale.
Oh it didn't say it all. A
...and then there was once. Miles is going to be the survivor because he didn't get a card with a merger so there would be no reason to kill him.
So here is the recap:
Six little roosters, some often streamed live. One dyed to scale, and then there were five
Victim: Gus
Weapon: pitchfork
Five little roosters, one trapped in the floor, one ran out of air and then there were four.
Victim: Ryan
Weapon: air tight underground chamber
Four little roosters, still trying to flee. One got what they wanted. And then there were three
Victim: Lindsay
Weapon: poker
One dyed of a pun...
Victim: Barbra
Weapon: UNNONE
...the killer was killed...
Killer: Adam
Weapon: UNNONE
...and then there was one.
Survivor: miles
Soo that's my o. Oh yah, what the fuck was with Ryan? His acting was good though. Oh yah, nice fake cry gus XD
Adam can't be the killer because he was with Gavin when Chris was playing riddles with the murderer.
The Killer is Adam, hes been trapped in several different locations such as the control room and the fence and hes been able to get out of them and how did he manage to get trapped in the first place, hiding evidence or even acquiring murder weapons? plus he works and shares an office with joel so he could have let the scorpion go, PLUS he goes to 'hide' after each time he is set free... Im on to you Adam...
Plot twist: Adam's already dead, and his beard is the one killing people by occupying his corpse like a vehicle for it to move.
Why would he need murder weapons? Everyone is getting themselves killed, anyway.
But in the poem it says "Five little roosters, want trapped in the floor...".Im pretty sure Adam dies later on
Tiana Skittles Yeah and everyone said that miles was going to die because it was "One likes to draw dicks, life imitated art, then there was 6" but then burnie died so yeah, its adam
Alright, looking everything over I am convinced that "One got what they wanted" will be Lindsay against a Puma. Possibly Joe the Cat, but more likely Puma.
"One died to scale" could have something to do with the whole 'Baby Gus' thing. Or it could be someone getting killed with the bathroom scale. Potentially the power of math, but that might be a little unrealistic. Only one I can see going to a bathroom would be either Gus (to cry) or Ryan (to look in the mirror and tell himself he didn't do it some more).
"One ran out of air" is begging to be Ryan in an Airtight Underground Chamber. But it's so obvious, there has to be an alternative. "One trapped in the floor" helps push that, but I think it's Adam. His beard has been trapped in so many things. And he'd be awfully vulnerable to the killer's previously seen gasoline lighting up to suffocate him.
Leaving Barbara, Miles and either Gus, Ryan or Adam. Most likely Ryan, since I'm leaning on Gus and Adam for the above. "One died of a pun" makes Barbara either the killer or the killed in this case, sealing her fate either way. Method could be Literal red herring, but that's not to say there's nothing backing up Pitchfork, Snake of Joel or Computer Mouse's potential either.
I think Miles will be the survivor. That's just a guess.
I think the trapped in the floor could be adam though. He keeps getting his beard trapped in things.
Puma: season 1 of Red vs Blue blue team observe red team check out a new vehicle they have sarge of the red team then calls the vehicle a warthog (actual name of vehicle) then one of the members days It looks like a puma, Then the team observing also calls it a puma
Maybe referencing That (hence scorpion aswell)
Adam is the killer. His beard on the glass in episode one and the can that poisoned Michael alga dan "A" on it. And Adam had a bow and arrow that he lost. He was with gavin wand the other one used a distress signal to get him away from Adam. He was at the puma cage for seemingly no reason, other than to try and release it. And in episode one when they found the poem Lindsay said "That person must have a god complex" and "Ellis" means "Jehovah is god". So that's my theory
I don't think Adam can be the killer because the scene with him and Gavin in episode 2 was happening at the same time as Chris playing riddles with the killer.
jim fin Actually the Josh (the writer) did an FAQ on the RT site which said that any scenes that are intercut (as those were) are happening simultaneously.
That a Star Wars V reference during the Ryan scene?
Yep. The dagobah scene when luke entered the cave and confronted vader and luke's face was in the mask.
Yep! And I'm assuming a Hot Fuzz reference with Burnie gearing up at the end. Fun fact: Gavin did the Slow Motion Cinematography for Hot Fuzz.
*****
"Oh, Mr. Angel, it seems that London called for you."
(⌐■_■) "Tell 'em that I'll have to call them back"
This is turning out to be one of the most amazing web series ever.... Good Gob Guys!
Oh I get it, Church was killed by a scorpion tank in Red vs Blue, and Burnie got killed by an actual scorpion.
Also, note that it is mentioned earlier that the scorpions belong to Joel.
Harry Stocker I don't think when ever someone dresses up in gear like that, they don't automatically seem or look like Simon Pegg or Nicholas from Hott Fuzz, but hey nice reference anyway
I actually never noticed the champagne glass beside the Michael doll. The mousetraps on the Gavin doll were obvious, but damn... nice details.
This episode was absolutely amazing and hilarious. Loved Ryans's scene WELL DONE
Ryan's descent into madness is the most interesting thing I've ever watched...
From the start I've been Hoping Ryan will survive, one more episode down, ALL HAIL THE MAD KING.
Ryan's Theater Major skills are actually paying off.
This is such a good idea for a small series. I love it. It's fun to see Gus and Ryan acting and making referenses to a lot of stuff that has to do with them from Let's plays and just random videos.
1. Michael (dead)
2. Gavin + clone (dead)
3. Chris (dead)
4. Burnie (dead)
5. Miles (no particular reason, just used deductive reasoning)
6. Adam (ran out of air, perhaps by getting suffocated by his beard)
7. Lindsey (wants to be with her husband in the afterlife)
8. Gus (died of a pun, maybe getting rolled of a high area [Gus SoROLLa])
9. Ryan (the killer was wearing a skull mask, like the one Ryan wears in GTA let's plays.
Survivor: Barbara (last person left)...
...these are probably all gonna be wrong.
I think Gus will die next episode by being impaled with the pitchfork because Baby Gus was killed by a fork. "One died to scale and then there were five."
I think miles is the killer in this episode it is clear his father left him, so that's why he comforted Chris in a previous episode when confronted the topic about divorce, also when he had his epic Rwby solo, the suit was right behind him!
I have to say, this was actually a clever kill scene. Didn't see that one coming when I first watched this.
Am I the only one who caught Adam (Gilby) saying "like a mollusk", you know, as a snail? The assassin snail!
That and the his beard getting caught in everything is making me now believe he is the killer.
These are all really smart ways that they die. Michael choked on rage(he was poisoned by his drink). Gavin tripped over themselves (sounds singular, but actually meant plural). Chris was shot with arrows trying to "save" Burnie and was martyred(Chris is a known fan of Lotr and he died similar to Baromir as a matyr). And Burnie died from a scorpion when life imitated art (Burnie's character on Red vs Blue, Church, was killed by the Scorpion tank Sheila). I think Ryan will die 6th not just because of the hole, but also because the riddle says that they'll run out of air, which sounds like Ryan's "still in the air" catchphrase.
"Stuck in the floor, and ran out of air". Edgar in the hole, still in the air. Well done sir, well spotted. Golden sticker for you.
The lighting on this series is bloody impeccable.
My fav one so far, I love how it ended with (Name Here) and with the scorpion A.K.A. Sheila, this was just amazing.
Six Little Roosters, some often streamed live.
One died to scale, and then there were five.
- I would say that Gus will be killed next week, due to the picture in the first episode depicting little Gus impaled by a fork. Gus will be impaled by a pitchfork.
Five Little Roosters, one trapped in the floor.
One ran out of air, and then there were four.
- Now normally I'd think it's Ryan due to the "trapped in the floor" line, but we can't always go by the first stanza. Therefore, I believe whoever is killed will be killed by a Computer Mouse. HOWEVER, the weapon could also be a blue-ringed octopus, whose venom causes death by suffocation. The one that dies? I'd guess Lindsay dies by the sting of a blue-ringed octopus. I believe Adam is trapped in the floor by his beard, as we've seen in every episode.
Four Little Roosters still trying to flee.
One got what they wanted, and then there were three.
- Adam dies from a random lava pit. He wanted to be a swimmer, and so gets pushed into lava.
Just three roosters left.
One died of a pun.
The killer was killed.
- Miles is killed by Barbara with Sting the Sword, who tells him that "[he] just got "stung"", or something along those lines. Barbara is then killed by Ryan, possibly with the king's crown.
And then there was one.
- Ryan survives, and slowly places the King's Crown upon his head, for he is the Mad King. (as referenced in episode 2)
I agree, except I think Barbara would place a treadmill in front of Miles because he would run for MILES.
Alternative theory to 'got what they wanted'.
Lindsay said she wanted a cat, and there is a Puma.
Reapzehz That works much better than an octopus for her! Just switch Adam and Lindsay around and it's perfect! Adam is stuck on the floor by his beard and gets stung by a blue-ringed octopus.
dfliss7857 So that means it can be used, because he left it behind.
Maybe "the one who got what they wanted" is Ryan? He wants to know that he isn't the killer, so being killed by the killer would give him that...
So after watching this ending though, what I've come to the conclusion is, "Tucker did it" - Michael J. Caboose
Oh look it was the single tiny scorpion that Barbara could've just stepped on two weeks ago and just avoided that ordeal. xD
This series is truly amazing.
Rock you like a hurricane..........get it because of th.......ahhhh never mind, forget I said anything.
Please relate a band/song to the future murder weapons. This just made my day.
Last video someone proposed that Burnie would be killed by the scorpion like in RvB, I don't remember the username of that guy, but whoever it was, congrats! That was a pretty stellar prediction you made. I considered it for a bit after seeing that comment but it wasn't my first guess, I'm glad to see someone think back all the way to the beginning of the company and guess that. It was a pretty clever idea!
if you saw it in the last VS between Gavin and Ryan. It may have been me. I made a long 50+ line post about that prediction in there.
Your name and picture look a bit familiar, and while I thought I remember the comment being in the last TLR video, I very well could be remembering wrong. Either way, that was a pretty cool idea, and good job on guessing that correctly, best of luck if you've been submitting your answers in the predictions on the site!
Ah see, here's the funny, but also sad thing, I have been following this series just for fun and so I didn't actually think that one of my predictions would be right, so likewise.....I never had a RT account lol. However as soon i saw this episode I immediately created an account, hopefully I will get another one right.
I have an account but never made any predictions, I wouldn't have gotten any anywaysX) The only one I would put money on now is that someone said Lindsay will be the "Get's what they wanted" death in the form of the Puma, since she pets an imaginary cat for stress relief. Other than that, I'm inclined to believe that Barbara is the killer, despite the signs all pointing to Adam.
Yeah I think Lindsay will die by the Puma, and Gus(pitchfork) will die to scale of Lil Gus(fork), Ryan will be the one in the hole and no longer in the air, with an Airtight Chamber. Barbara dies off of a pun about herself, probably her name like Yang because puns are her thing. Then again I do see a few possible puns off of Miles Luna...like tuna which attracts cats...there a puma and a Joe waiting.., and Gilby, gills like a fish. And a herring is a type of fish. So a literal red herring could be a raw fish that is eaten and kills because it is bad. I think
Love the Star Wars reference
Im sad I am just watching this now. grew up with Rooster Teeth way back and they have come so far. 11 little roosters was also AMAZING
Eh guys you seem to have a problem with one of your cameras, I first noticed it with Ryan at 1:47 and it was also the one used to film quite a lot of Gus. 2/5 down and 1/4 from the left in the frame, might be dust on the lens for all I know but it seems to be a white pixel or two.
Adam or Barbara is the killer.
Ryan seems to have been poisoned but not killed, cause at the end his picture wasn't shown. So he might be taken to a box/small enclosed space where he'll suffocate.
I was thinking that too. That would be the only way to get him locked in somewhere. He's so big and wily. But it's so freaking obvious. But is that the point? This whole thing has me doubting myself so bad! I don't know anything anymore.
God damn, I so adore that sick sonofabitch. I don't want him to be the killer, what if the Star Wars reference was a nod to him being the hero. But isn't the scene in Star Wars showing Luke failing to overcome his fear and anger? Gah! I freaking love/hate this!
I think the killer is Ryan because he's the last person you'd expect, because they'd think you'd write him off as being to obvious. But, just as stated in the principle Occam's razor, the right answer is normally the simplest.
"No one will every find me on this Mars base"
Moon landing in background.
I like how you can clearly see that everyone is trying to hide their smiles and laughs in this series
let's go do some things.
May the references be with you...
..That was probably the lamest death so far.. and I liked Burnie too.. xD
IKR, I was expecting something super awesome when he got all suited up towards the end
0:27 i thought i told you to quit making up animals
I couldn't stop laughing at the Star Wars reference.
So much foreshadowing lol even with the puma like the jokes about the warthog
Somehow I didn't notice until now that the Gavin doll has mouse traps on its hands and feet. Are they Ryan's voodoo dolls?
Has it been established the killer is definitely one of them? I'm getting kind of a 'Dark Half' (Stephen King novel) vibe. Where someone's fictional creation comes to life and wreaks havoc. In this case, being Ryan's gta 5 alter-ego.
Ryan totally broke character while the creeper was beating him up, but it made for good entertainment nonetheless!
Points for effort Ryan! But stick to your day job XD
ThegreatcatiusXbox Pretty sure you're not supposed to laugh when getting beat up.. But maybe that's just me.
That's called corpsing, not breaking character. (Not being rude, just clarifying your original intention)
Still want Ryan to survive- even if that means he's the killer. :3
Riddy Prower What if Ryan kills the killer but in turn becomes a killer?
Gus has been sitting in his office this whole time. writes poetry.(the riddle) this makes so much sense now!!
THIS SHOW KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!!!!!
When I first saw this I had only seen RWBY and RvB, now I've seen the rtaa, ots, AH, LP, X ray and vav, and recent podcasts, this has helped more, but I still don't know who Chris and Adam are.
Who are they?
Ryan´s can said Edgar!!!!!
"that was kinda stingy" HAHA i lost it XD
The Gavin doll with the mousetraps on it looks so cute.
I called it!!
SPOILER ALERT
Burnie dies. Church dies. Church's actor is Burnie
and he was killed by Joel's scorpion like in RVB church was killed by cabooses scorpion and like caboose is joel
I feel gus might be the killer! When he asked Barbara to get a can of coke he said none of that diet shit. Ryan had a can of diet coke and then he collapsed. Something's gone on and I reckon gus has poisoned it
Or was it Barb? Maybe she got the idea when Gus said that...the whole office knows Ryan's addicted to the stuff.
Am i the only one thinking it was Geoff the whole time? He will come in and be like "It was me the whole time motherfuckers!" or something like that??? They said at the beginning Gavin and Gavin two counted as one so???
i want it to be a twist ending and it be Ray all along XD and the last episode is him looking at the camera saying "W.A.F.F.L.E.O" really slow
But neither Geoff or Ray were there at the start as it was state that the killer can only be one of the 10 people at the start and once someone is dead they won't come back which removes the chance of those dumb twist endings where someone was alive the whole time
we can still make funny theory's even tho we know the rules. we know its not gonna happen but hell cant we still have fun?
Man, that one was pure genious. "Life imitaded art" - Camera moves from a scorpion to a picture of... the Scorpion MBT.
This show is absolutely amazing! It's so creative!
wouldnt it have made more sense to play the theme from blood gulch chronicles, not the new series?
not everybody watched the Blood Gulch Chronicles some people came late and did watch the first couple seasons they did it this way so that the most possible people would recognize the reference
XxLegitshitxX Those people really need to watch older season then, how else would you get all the references in newer seasons!
When the pan to the picture started I started humming the beginning of the Blood Gulch Blues, but I forgot that it was the other theme.
Puma… blue. Blue= blue team. Rvb. Oh wow
Six little Roosters one often streamed life one died to scale and then there were five (Gus)
Five little Roosters one ran out of air and then there were four (Ryan)
Four little Roosters one got what they wanted and then there were three (Lindsay)
Three little Roosters one died of a pun (Barbara)
Two little Roosters the killer was killed (Adam
One little rooster and then there was one (miles)
Ryan being all mad king makes this my favourite episode so far.
That empire reference was perfectly done
I did not see that coming! Yet it makes so much sense!
This show just got 10x better...
Wow, that's really good. lol I was trying to rack my mind thinking what possible art would be imitated. I can't believe I didn't see it, they even made the effort to mention it when Burnie was talking to Ryan, and they showed the scorpions. That's some brilliant foreshadowing. I'm glad I waited until this was over before watching.
What I think makes the scorpion death funnier is the fact that in episode two they mention that the scorpion is owned by Joel (the voice of Caboose in RvB).
That ending was amazing and nostalgic.
that ending was so classic
Dude. This. Series. Is. Amazing.
Ryan going crazy was awesome
This episode brings a revelation to the series: the first line of each stanza in the poem is completely unrelated to the second.
Shit I was trying to figure out the life imitated art thing all week and this actually makes totally sense
this has been so clever, loving the series
That Star Wars reference though... This is great, can't wait for the next ep.
This series is insane! That was so clever!
That was freaking insane! Did not expect the end at all!
Gus, your poetry was beautiful
This death was perfect :D I didn't even see the irony before they pointed it out with a picture of the scorpion tank :)
Gonna be honesty, Ryan's solo scene of him showing his insanity may be one of my favorite scenes of anything I've ever watched.
Loved the Star Wars Reference! XD
I can honestly say I did not expect that one. Very clever roosterteeth, very clever
This whole show is like a giant inside joke for Achievement Hunter and Roosterteeth Fans, it makes everyone feel involved and makes the jokes twice as effective.
This is fucking brilliant.
Long live the bad king.
'It's Red VS Blue all over again'
Church gets killed by a scorpion again xD
no, I'm pretty sure it's a puma
