Best of the Worst: Halloween 2023

- Happy Halloween, idiots! It's the annual Halloween episode of Best of the Worst! That time of year where the group all drinks too much and makes fun of terrible movies. So basically like any normal episode, but these episodes use spooky music so it's totally different. This year, the gang has gathered their most pathetic line up of haunted items yet. It's Tim Ritter's Killing Spree, Night of the Demon, and Vampire Riders!!!! Also, this year has been a bit of a wet fart to say the least. Times arrow continues forward, but alas it keeps missing us as we try to let it hit us directly in the junk. We travel onward moving into the obscure, nightmarish realms of darkness, disease, and aching lower backs. As we enter into our twilight days, we remember the good times and great episodes of Best of the Worst. We remember our dearly departed friend Rich Evans, who we lost this year due to Brain Stop Working syndrome (BSW). Jay's hair continues to grow like the weeds of despair we find ourselves in. Mike's double chin swells more with each passing day until he himself, becomes permanent Dexter Jetster cosplay. And Tim Higgins continues on doing what he does best: being not Jack and not Josh. Oh, woe is me... the tides of life ebb and flow like an ocean of blood. Ever inching closer and closer to our heads, our bodies buried to the neck in the sands of time. Halloween is a time for reflecting. It's the time ghosts are abound. Demons and Ghouls fly throughout the night. And the only spirits at RLM HQ end up in Mike's vast and endless stomach. While spirits do battle with 8 pounds of digesting Taco Bell, the gang watch three haunted films in the Red Letter Media Haunted Museum™ - surrounded by objects of mystery and terror. Rich Evans brazenly brought home a haunted object telling Mike, "I'll take this haunted item into my home and rub it all over my dick, Mike, and guess what nothing will happen!" Well, he was wrong. Dead wrong. Rich was soon diagnosed with BSW, got into a horrible car accident, his house burned down, his hair fell out, and he began dressing more and more like an adult toddler. These are not mere coincidences. THIS IS HALLOWEEN BITCHES!!!

It seems crazy to me that Mike can say "I used a spirit box that was gifted to me by Macaulay Culkin" and it's not a nonsensical bit.
RLM lore goes deep
Culkin is my favorite guest.
They talk about it in :bunny ears podcast.
NOW REMEMBER:
IF THE SPIRIT BOX IS IN THE TOP, IT'S INTERESTING!
It's a modified Talkboy
drunk Mike and fully sober Rich still being on the exact same joke wavelength is the kind of bond you only get after 75 years of friendship
I think you mean 2500 of years we all know they are immortals from the past.
It is really touching, I still think it's weird that they started hanging out when Mike was 6 and Rich was 22.
jay: "lol. it's like a TNG episode, right guys?"
rich and mike: "lol, yeah." [proceeds to describe series of inane, but not entirely unrealistic and film-related fan-fic TNG episodes.]
tim: [looks on questioningly. laughs]
jay: [laughs, then encourages TNG-ness] (whoa!)
rich and mike: [oblige]
all: "look at us, weirdos. hey, films! also, ghosts!]
fin.
that's friendship right there. good for these frauds.
@@jakemaxgross yes it’s true… Rich Evans is a God
@@thomasstanley6101 ohhhh yeah, good point!
“Remember when I groomed you? I was your barber for 16 years.” Underrated joke
I was just thinking "How would a phaser effect a vampire?" and then Rich said it.
Missed opportunity though: *Set phasers to "Sun"*
Well done 👍🏾
This is a good comment
*finger guns*
*affect, but yes
Happy to be the 1,000th like on this comment lol.
"Attach a dark spirit to Rich Evans for the rest of his life"
Jokes on you Mike, you ARE that dark spirit, and you've been here the whole time.
Boom, roasted.
I _immediately_ thought that, too!
Shaymalanian twist.
it's not a joke, that's just what completes the time loop
Well, it's almost like this was written by Rian Johnson. It really subverted my expectations. What a twist!
Rich already has a dark entity following him around to be tormented by, he’s called Mike
And the both of them are haunted by the specters of the Twin Towers.
@@brothirand by extension their destroyer, Rem Lazar
Worse than any demon, scary
And Jay is “The Arm”
Drunk Mike saying "this is what I love about my friend Rich Evans" is somehow the most wholesome thing I saw in a long time
Timestamp?
@@kristarolleri6442 1:22:40
I just randomly read this comment as I noticed he video was wind down and then he said the words! HAUNTED COMMENTS!
Sorry for your loss
@@thraxmador960 Did You get it on CAM-mer-ah? Did You get it on CAM-mer-ah?
I love how Tim apologized for screaming too loud. He does realize they've been dealing with the ear-splitting audio of Rich's laugh for over a decade right?
When did he apologize?
1:13:27@@d4z3d1
@d4z3d1 it kinda gets drowned out but he does.
@@d4z3d1 1:13:28
also v sweet that he apologized for throwing the DVD case after realizing it was Jay's
Can we take a second to appreciate that Rich is legit an amazing prop builder? Dude's talented as hell at building stuff, including the Wheel Of The Worst and the Plinketto Board.
EDIT: Also, man, I feel for Rich, I too become fucking useless and can't read shit without my glasses.
You take a second, I have to take my pug to the groomers.
Fucking Mike and Rich with that box are like two brothers tormenting each other. "Rich did it, he distracted you with the clown!"
I mean, that font was ridiculously sized
@@ImTheCatman88 Quite on point for a ridiculous sign.
Agreed, that sign was especially well done.
RELEASE THE RICH EVANS CUT. We want to hear his boring thoughts.
F that we want the full 24 hour stream of the haunted items.
I would actually listen to whatever tf rich evans had to say
Imagine a botw spin-off where it's just Rich trying to read tiny text for hours
@@andrewjackson982 😂
I think it was a joke and it was actually Mike continuing to be annoying so he cut it and blamed it on Rich.
After 15 years in production hell, Mike Stoklasa's Zak Bagans roleplay fantasy is finally here.
Hearing Mike drunkenly admit Rich Evans was his friend made me very happy
He must've been more wasted than normal to say something like that.
Mike finally got his ultimate wish and became Zak Bagans for his Halloween costume!
Its a full qnd genuine recreation too because he is as big of a hack fraud as Zak baggins!
I'm surprised he doesn't have the Zak Bagans glasses
@@seid3366 Or the Zak Bagans Hair Gel (TM)
I think you mean Bilbo
@@TekDeviL I meant Zack Snyder! :(
It's OK Rich, at this point if we see a custom made set piece, we assume you made it.
That, or a frame with the plastic still on
Or a wooden wheel
Kudos to Mike for finally chipping in and making part of the set!
Nah but in all seriousness this set looked awesome. The BotW lettering was my favorite part. Such a cool look. Great work Rich
Rich: "That's a structural G." My favorite casual line in a long, long time.
Reminds me of the Simpsons joke about the load bearing poster on the wall.
@@aqs33 I was thinking of the Hansel and Gretel Tree house of Horror episode: "That's a load-bearing candy cane!"
Up there with "You're not mic'd for dinner."
Rich really does make some delightful sets, I hope he knows how much we appreciate his craftsmanship
The idea of the RLM crew sitting down, planning the theme for this year's Halloween episode, sourcing the props, choosing the films, and doing everything else that goes into production for our entertainment is really heartwarming.
you act as if Rich wasn't doing all of that by himself while Mike sat in a folding chair and drank beer while he watched him do it all
More like fartworming
@@ryancarrell3186Rich said Mike built it as well, so you are plain wrong
Very cool
You forgot to add...While Drunk(outside of Rich who is hopped up on 5 hour energy)
I appreciate Mike detailing his midlife crisis in the description
Holy shit that was gold
Best laugh I've had in a loooong while!
I only watch the videos for the descriptions
when did they start putting their best material in the descriptions
@@GaigeGrosskreutzGunClubFor a while now
Ironically Rich is, as usual, weirdly circuitously correct. They tease him but planchette is just literally French for 'plank' lol
It's astonishing, isn't it? His intuition is off the charts, even predicting plot lines and stories before filming has even started.
When Rich says "I HATE this" during Night of the Demon, his voice is conveying a symphony of emotions; I hear disgust, self-discovery, relief, and something like defiance. He's simultaneously protesting his innocence against the possibility he might like this and mentally double-checking to make sure. It's simply a bravura delivery.
"This part of the discussion was cut because Rich Evans was being too boring."
I haven't laughted that hard in a while.
I'm glad I didnt listen to this like a podcast on my first viewing.
This episode is full of good moments.
Rich Evans is the most drunk person who’s never had a drink in his entire life
It’s actually kinda weird in hindsight that he used to do BOTW while drinking. I sometimes forget that.
But it’s good to have a designated driver for when Mike is harassing Jay about his murderous tendencies towards cats.
I’m pretty sure he and Jack both used to drink but they both quit.
What's really crazy is that Rich used to get wrecked for BOTW and we thought the alcohol was to blame but now he's sober and exactly the same.
That honor belongs to Trump
@@mckinleyostvig7135Rich has never been drunk on BOTW as far as I know. Didn't he say on Pre-Rec that he's only gotten drunk once in his life?
I love Mike's commitment of spending a wad of cash and over 26 hours to set up a 30 second joke.
I'm digging Tim's crocheted devil hat. Very classy.
Rich Evans once kissed me at an Applebee's and I was flattered but I still don't know how to feel about it.
Don’t feel special, he does that to all his fans
That’s nothing, he put his fingers deep into my grundle
He just told me move it boy and spit on my shoes. How'd you get a kiss?
He spit in my mouth
And how can you NOT know how to feel about it?
the cuts to Mike speaking with his spiritbox to an empty, dark room full of expensive trash he found online is genius
I honestly think Jay is keeping his hair long, out of paranoia that's brought on by being surrounded by everyone else's hair loss/thinning.
That's why I first grew mine out 20 years ago. To hoard it. And it's still here!
@@nickorlove7848 I'd say it was more about living it up and making the most of it while it was still possible. Imagine keeping your hair short only to one day find that you no longer even have a choice in the matter.
Or the rest of the balding friends make him keep it so they can harvest
When Rich said "Asbestos Felt" I thought it was gibberish because he didn't have his glasses and the text was small.
Fun fact - Planchette is French for "little plank," so Rich is once again accidentally kind of right lol
Rich Evans: "Why is it called a planchette? What does that mean?"
Jay: "I don't know! What does anything mean? Words!"
Introduction to linguistics (Bauman, 2023)
A planchette is a little plank isn't it? So Rich was right!
@@rustyhonda I looked that up straight after they corrected him because I was sure planchette meant little plank. Way to go Rich!
I always suspected that Jay was a Chomsky-honk.
Sticky fingaz literally played blade at one point. What a career.
I was stunned that they didn't mention that.
@@tennozeorymer My guess would be they didn't even know. That show came and went, though honestly I kind of enjoyed it
I came looking for someone to mention this!
To be fair to the guy, he was a pretty good cast for Blade too!
You know you've been watching RLM for a long time when you can always understand Mike no matter how wasted he is
everyone get in here and tell rich how impressive that set is. magnificent work.
The fact that Rich Evans had to drive Drunk Tim is hilarious
He accepted his fate.
Man, Rich is slimming down and looking good. I got a theory he's getting prepared to beat Mike's ass for all the friendly teasing over the years. "stutter edit this you piece of shit!" Keep it up Rich!
The addition of the Suburban Sasquatch iconic sound at the end of the discussion of this Sasquatch movie was *chef’s kiss*
Also, that video description is hilarious and amazing as always!
That was sheer genius.
It was like poetry.
The descriptions just keep getting better and better.
@@stikcler it's about family
@@ToastyAvocado69Very Cool
Jay deciding in his 40s he’s gonna start growing out his hair so that he can blend in at horror conventions.
The weird thing he looks more and more like an aging catboy, yet he never was one in the past (to the best of our knowledge)
@@GerinoMorn Jay was Hobbit a couple years ago.
Edgar Wrong
The only halloween tradition worth following
With each Halloween Spooktacular, Rich Evans gets spunkier with age!
exactly! ❤
Lots of Halloween traditions are worth following
Oh god they drank too much again, didn't they?
Most important holiday for redlettermedia!
Petition for them to release the Entire spook cam as a 24 hour video. Please.
I demand the Snyder 26 hour cut!
Rich is the kind of friend you want to date your sister but she is not interested.
Because she's a lesbian
*he is not interested.
:(
You can almost hear the faint sound of “you’re the devil’s son!”
I feel your pain Rich. My eyes are deteriorating too. Getting old is the worst. Thank god you still have your looks at least.
Right? I am probably around their ages and my eye sight is starting to go. Fuck old age!
Lasik?
Oh my sciatica 😢
I never thought I'd see Sticky Fingaz even get mentioned in a RLM video, let alone be in one of the films. 😂
That moment at the end when Mike and Rich traded looks. They looked just like two brothers wordlessly agreeing to start a fight with their older sibling. Adorable.
46:44 I like how Tim innocently asks, "How tall is that guy?" and it's a very slow build into one of the best Rich laughs of the episode.
During the first movie I was worried Rich was not gonna laugh at all. It made me realize once again that I can't imagine this show without Rich's laugh.
RLM are in a completely different universe compared to the rest of youtube. Best channel ever.
Same what I've always thought, for sure. It's like there's TH-cam and it's content creators, then there's a corner with RLM-sign above it and once you check out that corner, everything else on TH-cam becomes "it's good, but not RLM-good".
Oh
True ❤
They've built a loyal fanbase by having integrity and sticking to their guns, and they've reached a point where they don't need commercials, product endorsements, or self-censorship for fear of losing money. It's an act of rebellion to act like a normal person as a content creator, and it has paid off for RLM.
Facts
Hi. I very rarely make comments on TH-cam, but I just had to point out Mr. Evans hoodie. (I don't want to know why it tried to autocorrect to 'goodie') I was one of the animators that worked on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game over at Sumo Nottingham. It was a blast to work on that game and I am happy to see it represented on Rich Evans body. Cheers!
The quality of this is through the roof. I look forward to this show every year, Happy Halloween everybody.
The moments when Mike is Rich's best friend make all the bullying worth it.
Sort of. But also, no.
@@larrywalsh9939counterpoint: yes
Mike does less bullying on camera these days
@@SeanMcCaffrey4 I, for one, appreciate that!
And this is what we call codependency by proxy.
Let's face it. Rich Evans is the REAL Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
Good grief.
More so every year.
I got a rock...
Something about asbestos feet reminds me of the jar dude.
They look very similar.
@@adamkaufman724 they gotta be the same man .
A jar of asbestos.
The best part of the whole haunted crap gag is how clearly Mike is unironically into it.
The scariest part of this video is their dementia growing more and more apparent with each passing installment.
david lynch movie pfp
If you watch them in reverse, it’s a heartwarming story of recovery and overcoming overwhelming disillusionment with the media landscape.
@@jettpack9168yeah
It's scarier than dick ripping FR
Wetbrain from the booze. Rich dont drink but hes getting it through osmosis.
As sad as the death of Jack was, i’m glad they had the heart to put his body on the couch next to Jay. It’s what he would have wanted.❤️😭
I'm willing to believe the demon they saddled Rich Evans with in this episode was the one who gifted him all of the dark knowledge about Star Trek so Rich could beat Mike at trivia. These sorts of summonings are always faustian in nature, after all, and what bigger loss could Mike suffer?
I love that drunk Jay is still more lucid than sober Rich.
Patrick Stewart voiced the poop emoji in The Emoji Movie so even he's done pretty embarrassing stuff for money
Patrick Stewart didn't do The Emoji Movie for money. He did it because he believes in what it stands for: poop jokes.
In the sequel, they planned to have the angry emoji snap his neck
If I recall Stewart said he was in the Emoji Movie for his "grandkids" who thought poop was funny. So....eh?
not nearly as embarrassing as "Picard"
@@suppersready *slide whistle*
I'm surprised that mike didn't take the opportunity to transform Rich's house into the paranormal activity ride.
you left this comment 4 minutes after it was posted....how do you know he didn't?
Rich's life is already a paranormal activity ride
@@jukeboxfandangoThis is just a crazy, wild guess but maybe the house is revealed within the first 4 minutes.
It's a Zach Baggins bit
Now that it's been written, this needs to manifest in reality
The world desperately needs a Nerd Crew-esque sendup of Ghost Adventures hosted by Mike
I'm a real sucker for RLM content. I fucking love everyone on this crew.
Never stop being who you truly are, it's what make you special. It's so great and stupid at the same time, the greatest marriage ever seen between great humor and cringe
And Rich, keep laughing and bursting our eardrums
Halloween on RLM has so quickly gone from my favorite parody of annual halloween traditions to my actual go-to favorite annual Halloween tradition.
I start my holiday traditions by watching all the Halloween specials; I seen them a thousandth times, and I loved every minute. Thanks hack frauds 😅
"That's a structural G" -- Rich low key dropping the bombs as usual @20:13
Happiness is having this queued up for watching after your shift, with a box of wine and a spicy meat feast pizza to throw in the oven loaded. You gents are, the Top Gear of movies and every hack fraud video you make is a blessing! 🎥 🍻 🎃
mikes obsession with zak bagans and ghost adventures always fascinates me
The way mike and rich stare at each other after Jay says “Night of the demon” shows they still love to each other. Even if it’s fleeting
When I saw "Night of the demon" I thought it was the 1957 movie that Scorsese likes, then I realized this is botw.
This was such a cozy, happy, friendly episode. Full stop no joke. I loved everything about it.
This.
It was the "funniest" BotW I've ever watched but it was such a good time just watching four good friends hangin out. Also absolutely killer set design.
Yeah I wish I had friends to do silly stuff like this.
No Mike, Jack Daniels is NOT bourbon. 🤦
Poor man. It really is harrowing to see his dementia getting worse in real-time.
Red Letter Media is one of the only things that has kept me alive since the pandemic hit us lol
RLM is all time great
That's when I really started watching, and now RLM will always hold a special place for me.
I am so impressed with the sign mike made all by himself without any help
I demand the 26 hour footage be released to the public!
Release the Bagans cut
I demand the Zack.. err.. Rich Evans cut!! And in black n white, 4:3!!
I want to scan the full footage for orb activity. In their filthy, dusty premises there's probably many untethered souls floating about.
Mike: "Bigfoot wouldn't be in California..."
Patterson footage A.K.A. literally the most iconic images of 'Bigfoot' ever recorded and likely the first thing that pops into anyone's head when the phrase 'Bigfoot' is mentioned and basically solidified the conversation about the possibility of the existence of a Sasquatch type cryptid into the popular culture: "Am I a joke to you?"
“…from around the globby”
Hell yeah, Merry Halloween y’all.
Asbestos Felt might just be the funniest thing I've ever heard
Seeing Troi, Dollar Store Blade and the first Black Power Ranger in one movie was not something I expected.
The first Black Ranger, thank you! His face was familiar, but I didn't know from what, it was driving me crazy.
@@hectorrodriguez9382Walter Jones! He was on Space Cases too.
@@hectorrodriguez9382with his “hip hop karate” 😂
He even did the famous "hiyaa" from the Power Rangers
This video finally convinced me to download RAID Shadow Legends. My favorite heros are Wolfbeast, Wishbone and Booby Elf. Lucky i downloaded now, because i got the EPIC CHAMPION Rich Evans!!!
Watching old drunks attempt to read the back of a DVD case cured my depression.
Rich is looking pretty trim which is nice to see, as we want as much of these guys as possible over the coming years
Glad I’m not the only one who saw him and thought that
I thought the same thing!
It's from the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIDS
Love how Rich uses the small print as a smoke screen to mask his illiteracy
The use of "Suburban Sasquatch" sounds for the transition is Chef's Kiss!
Tim consistently proving he's the best recurring guest
Wow, Rich Evans is honestly looking good, keep it up man.
He looks handsome fr
He looks swish as hell
"He looks like Sting in Dune." made me legit laugh out loud.
I've not regularly shopped at thrift stores in many a year, but seeing RLM props (including the "actually haunted" um... artifacts here) instantly transports me to every thrift store I've ever been to, complete with lifelike details, sounds and especially odors. It's like a dumpster powered VR!
I appreciated the over 50s life insurance advert before the video started 👌
Tim knowing when to speak and when to just drop what wanted to say was excellent. Props to that man, some real patience shown this episode.
his, "i can see through p o" line didn't get enough love.
just makes it that much more funny when it's like just him making a joke and everyone is listening- like you know when he has the floor its gonna be gold
Rich Evans is looking super healthy; good for him.
mike and rich's life long friendship is so adorable
I was so busy looking at Rich's good scenery work that I didn't fully process Mike's demure little dance in the intro.
He was posing like an emo young adult in the early 2000s
Always look forward to seeing Tim during the holidays. Traditions matter.
So true. Everytime I don't see him for a while I'm like, "man I'm missin' a good Tim in this dynamic"
Timmy “fuckbutt point” Higgy
he had some really funny jokes, too. Before he got too much drunk
Indeed. Tim's come a long way from his first few appearances, where he just kinda stumbled and recited what happened in the video straight with no commentary or interruptions to others. He feels so much more comfortable with the frauds now.
Walter Jones as an uncredited vampire hunter who sorta kills a movie’s sorta main villain has made my halloween. IT’S MORPHIN TIME!
I noticed that as well! Always good to see a ranger being in a terrible film.
Okay good I wasn't seeing things and that WAS Walter.
Yeh I was confused why it wasn’t addressed lol
@@Dave-Deadman These guys were all nearly in highschool by the time Power Rangers was a thing.
@@hippocratesnoah8642 Jack would have recognized him. I see it more as fandom interests than age haha
Love how Rich is sprawling on the couch like one of Mike's French-Canadian girls during the viewing footage.
Episodes in which Rich and Mike are on the same page and are goofing on the other two hosts are always hilarious. Mike always concentrates his snark on busting Rich's balls, but when they both team up to snark on other people, you realize just how much actual chemistry and wit they share.
Watching the annual Halloween episode is the equivalent of putting up the tree at Christmas. It's tradition.
And if you haven't seen the Infamous Team Brick Wall vs Team Light Wall Debate, you haven't lived.
This is classic Team Brick Wall gaslighting...
Was that the same year Jay unalived cats?
@@Joseph_Tacos ... exactly!
(Proceeds to take another shot of Maker's Mark)
Goodnight sweet cats 💤💤💤
Rich lying down on the couch is relatable
Hearing the New York based boom-bap rap group Onyx being referenced on Red Letter Media is a 2023 highlight.
I thought Asbestos Felt would rage-dance into the water and punch a shark. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day has been ruined.
It’s clear Rich Evans has been having no treats this Halloween, good for him! 💪🏻
That's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIDS for ya!
Rich gets only tricks on Halloween.
You mean the diet candy, or.............OHHHHHHH (In Mike voice)@@davidreese5730
1:22:40 Love it when Mike has moments of genuine affection for his buddy Rich Evans like this
OMG, you're right. That really was sweet 🥺
They appeared in Never Been Kissed together
Fun fact - Vampire Riderz is not listed on Terry Kiser's filmography on Wikipedia. I couldn't possibly imagine why
Especially since he was crying those tears of joy.
Tim apologizing to Jay was my favorite part.
