I’m not saying that I worked on this Daily Show segment but…wait, yes I am.
There are eight kinds of fake blood in the first short I did at school, and that is, I think, the real accomplishment here.
I didn’t make this audio or set up this scene, but I did record this video on my awful point-and-shoot and get commissioned to caption it by the people who DID make this audio and set up this scene.
