Well, here we are, everybody, at the halfway point of this monstrous beast. Ice on Mars is proud to present the first two-riffer entry into this fun little nugget of film history. Look, if you're on this page, you probably know what you're getting yourself in for, so there's not much to say. If you DON'T, you can find the previous parts of this serial at the following places (and the ones after mine by doing some simple searching via iriffs.com):

Plot? We faf about a bit in an "Arab camp," run by an Italian, with beach cabanas. Everybody runs back and forth a bit, and accomplishes little to nothing. Although Jerry continues to get some good moments in this part, I have to say that, for my money, Gorzo & Hugo are the standout comedy duo sure to be hitting some bars near you at any moment.
Thanks, all. Feedback is always appreciated. And, as always, we are not approved or endorsed by NASA, but my mom still thinks I'm funny. Also, the fact that this episode is coming out the same weekend as Watchmen, one of the most highly anticipated films of all time, is almost certainly a coincidence--or is it?

Ok, my criticisms may be a little harsh considering how much I enjoyed the previous 2 installments. First there were some jokes that I did enjoy quite a bit, mainly anything you did involving the full screen tent flaps. I think I laughed at just about everything you said in those instances. I've always liked the racial slur Honky, so that cracked me up as well. The criticisms- I thought the intro to the riff was a little weak. It's nice that you acknowledged the project as a whole but I didn't really see the necessity to do it over the top of the short itself. It comes across like you couldn't come up with any jokes for that part. I realize that a lot of people making Iriffs don't have a lot of programs that allow you to add video so I would have let that slide if not for the fact that you added your "ice on mars" thing to the front and back of the short. It wouldn't have been that hard to add the intro before the actual short itself. I think my displeasure with this aspect may have soured me on the whole short but I'll giive you guys credit over some of the iriffs I've checked out. You can tell that you took the time to actually write jokes, instead of just winging it. The only problem I had was that I either didn't get what you were referencing or when I did, I often didn't find them all that funny. I'll give this a 4 rounded up from 3.5 although if you had a few more ratings, I probably would have given it a 3.
OK, you guys starting out on the Chapter 7 submission was pretty funny.
