Big Time Video is as good as BTR gets for a half hour episode. It introduces an excellent new song, shows an well-done new video, and is hilarious through-out. Honestly, I think this is the funniest of the regular episodes. I was constantly laughing. In one scene, the guys are sitting near the pool. They decide to put their friends in the video as background extras because that is acting, right? All the extras in the background of the scene say- Yes, it is- very smart and funny.
The scene where the guys have to steer Gustavo away from any video ideas without girls is one of my favorite of the series. One director suggests they shoot all alone on LA's tallest building. Carlos says he is afraid of heights. Logan says he hates tall buildings. James says he gets nauseous just by standing up. He stands up and falls over. The next director suggests they are all alone in an undersea city. Logan says he can't swim. Kendall says he gets seasick. Carlos says he is afraid of sharks and begins to cry hysterically. James says he gets nauseous from even a glass of water. He stands up, takes a drink of water, and falls over. Twice directors come up with ideas that Gustavo likes, and both times the guys agree with Gustavo and distort the idea until he doesn't like them anymore. The whole scene is a classic.
And, of course, Carlos keeps trying to hypnotize people with a red watch the whole show. All the comedy ends with a great video to a very good song, a great ending to a great episode. Top notch!moreless
