Trivia

• This video was a day late due to exporting issues.
• Excluding appearances on the Iron Stomach Challenge, this is the first video Bill has appeared in since Failure and his first speaking role since Moving Out, six months prior. He was also absent from all the podcasts following Bandwidth Exceeded until Sick Day.
• This is the only video written exclusively by Bill.
• Bill's pose in the photo at the beginning was also used on the LRR About Page.
• Jer states that he "only played a ninja in, like, two videos." The first video Jer played a ninja in was EZ Industries. It's disputed whether the second video he is referring to is Ways to Abuse Shaolin (where he was not dressed like a ninja, but played a character with ninja-like powers) or Lock Out (where he was playing himself dressing up and pretending he was a ninja).
• Every masked ninja was played by Paul, giving him quadruple credit.
• Bill's email is dated two days after ROAD TRIP: Energy Shotgun was released, his last canonical appearance before this video.
• Matt's ninja persona is a clear parody of Naruto Uzumaki. His performance was entirely ad libbed.
  • Contrary to Matt's statement, Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage, not the Fifth.
• Spot the Dog appears next to the picture of Bill and Jer at the beginning.
