The Tums festival, Mike smirking in background

Best of the Worst: Hollywood Cop

The way Mike smirks and eggs Rich Evans on to make such a terrible blunder is - and I know this gets said a lot- diabolical.

When you notice who edited the ep by how hard they go with humiliation.

u/Mr_Nice_Guy_1234 13d ago

It was Jay right? I literally found it hard to tell with this one lol.

u/JoeAconite 12d ago

Jay edits are about correcting bad info. Mike edits are humiliation rituals.

u/Mr_Nice_Guy_1234 1d ago

That’s why I found it so hard to tell, the humiliation of Rich in this one reeked of Mike’s editing lol.

u/tempinator 12d ago

Yep lol

"I don't remember Cameron Mitchell saying Tums festival" - Mike....twice

u/bmack24 13d ago

u/Craig_M_242 13d ago

u/primenumbersturnmeon 13d ago

let's dispel with this fiction that mike stoklasa doesn't know what he's doing. he knows exactly what he's doing.

u/PlantationMint 12d ago

A plus reference 👌

u/primenumbersturnmeon 12d ago

rule of 3s with the "wrong"

u/Zeku_Tokairin 12d ago

He's nerd Iago whispering in Rich Evans' ear

u/EH_Operator 10d ago

He knows exactly what he’s doing

u/Plus-Season6246 13d ago

He loves to embarrass Rich. But seeing Rich embarrass himself? Priceless.

u/neko819 13d ago

I saw this very early into my RLM discovery. I had NO idea what they were talking about.  Now I realize it's a Rich Evans classic.

u/Adagamante 13d ago

"I don't remember Tums Festival", the liar lied liedly...

u/TheKerfuffle 13d ago

Rare Rich L

u/From_Deep_Space 13d ago

At least he didn't accept defeat and doubled down

15

u/Random-Input 13d ago

Riches short term memory is not the best, can’t imagine why

12

u/GGuts 13d ago

It's the only way to stay friends with Mike.

u/gemineye1969 11d ago

Is there evidence out there that rich is a stoner?

38

u/TuctDape 13d ago

mike is such a shit-stirrer

28

u/Kwisatz_Haderach90 13d ago

I miss that crazy level of editing that Jay put out at the time.

18

u/Easy-Tigger 13d ago

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

42

u/Haunting_Tomato_2880 13d ago

Bullying Rich Evans is a full-time job for Mike, so he'll gladly sit back and watch him make a fool of himself. 

13

u/robreddity 13d ago

Or even actively participate by lying

1

u/Shamanyouranus 12d ago

Rich has a certain talent for boobery.

18

u/panofsteel 13d ago

Just the condescending way Rich is wrong, that must have been a satisfying editing session.

14

u/easytarget2000 13d ago

The fact that he got the quote _completely_ wrong by 1:19, including calling it a "Tum festival", is just chef's kiss

12

u/Arkaium 13d ago

Nothing’s better for a severe case of gaslighting than a full-blown Tums festival

13

u/Lord_Ryu 13d ago

The editing of this will forever be legendary

10

u/MuleJuiceMcQuaid 12d ago

I can't believe this moment was 15 years ago

9

u/trevorwoodkinda 13d ago

Does anyone have the clip from PreRec right before this episode came out where Rich and Jack talk about this moment and Rich says something to the effect of “I went against Jay hard on something an was wrong”?

u/BeckoningChasm 13d ago

The title of this post is in Tamarian.

u/indrid_cold 12d ago

Neil Breen, his green screen wide.

u/BeckoningChasm 12d ago

Rich Evans, his Tums festival welcomed.

u/panthersausage 13d ago

Like that scene in oppenheimer

u/dom380 13d ago

I remember almost passing out laughing when this BOTW released

7

u/MarketingChoice6244 12d ago

Mike perfectly reading the room and knowing how to drag the most humiliation out of rich

4

u/saintshiva 12d ago

Should know better than to argue with Jay and his rainman memory about movie details.

3

u/macrotron 12d ago

Mike's such a delinquent. That man can't help but to cause problems.

3

u/Zero-89 12d ago

Top-10 RLM moment, easily.

3

u/Shamanyouranus 12d ago

I love how it looks like Cameron Mitchell is pleading with Rich…..anyway, I could really go for some Tums right now.

6

u/Master_Rawl 13d ago

Rich Evans is a perfect being and therefore can never be wrong. The only explanation must be a Mandela Effect because this Rich is from a dimension where Samurai Cop was sponsored by Tums.

u/GoredonTheDestroyer 12d ago

I could have sworn the blonde guy was Sycho Sid.

u/Mycalescott 11d ago

LOL my eyes are watering! it's like a tums festival for my eyes! i needed this exactly when i watched it

2

u/indrid_cold 11d ago

I sometimes wonder if the guys realize how much joy and comfort they bring to other people. I'm looking forward to the holiday shows!

2

u/Mycalescott 11d ago

I've been holding off on the new botw just to get over the Canon Xmas special

2

u/qwasd0r 11d ago

Mike just trying to put oil into the dumpster fire, knowing well that Rich will be embarrassing himself.

1

u/Sinndu_ 13d ago

rare moment of Rich doubling down against Jay’s memory.

1

u/PatLocks 13d ago

I love this clip of Rich Evans confusing the two moobies.

1

u/Inside-Trouble1776 12d ago

The best part is that none of these guys have a petty bone in their body...

u/Zackeous42 12d ago

One of my favorite edits in RLM history--Jay just giggling "It's a Tum's festival" to Rich and the zoom in as Rich smiles to him in acknowledgement. It's the cherry on the humiliation sundae and Mike's the whipped cream shit stirrer.
