AHAHAHAHHAHA I knew it, I knew Erik was invincible
GGGGAAHHH!!! Damn it, you got me on this one :D!!!
Good Job as usual guys!!!!!
I kind of thought it was a joke, but still good.
Ha. Good one.
dammit Erik! i feel right into that one and i thought that you were hurt because you were so sad. I should have seen this coming you sneaky sneaky man
Pwn't
Wow you guys had me fooled!
Wow I knew it was a joke when you said that you were blind on that eye but I actually belived it when you in the last BFX said that you hurt your eye.
Didn't see that coming....Nice one!
i knew it because you used tape to cover your eye and you did it kinda fake way
riiiight.
i bet.
i actually did .. but no way to prove it but you dont have to prove it either so nothing
Alright, this is the best joke I have ever seen. Really Cool. It looked like a real accident. It made it even more real, becauselast episode or two you hurted yourself in the finger. And I was like no not again. This was all a joke. Really amazing!
Wow guys...Great one! Since it was announced thursday I really didnt think it was a joke! When you said you were gonna be rockin the pirate patch permanently I wasnt so sure.
I cant beleive you didn't tell steve!
Don't ever scare me like that... again... or else....
Should have expected it with the vague blair witch accident video. Damnit I am such a stooge.
you dirty bastards. I love you.
Beautiful April Fool's joke.
am i the only one who thinks this wasnt even cool or funny?
couldve done soething much better. just trying to give some constructive criticism.
its not even something that youre supposed to feel dumb about because you fell for it, and thats the point of april fools.
Again, Damn You!!!! Good One Though. (See Youtube)
Also, Did you break that camera you pushed over???
...
neat too bad the blood didnt show up verry well
Ahhhhh!!! screw you!!!! Jk you got me XD
Oh Ha Ha!
u tricky S.O.B. Erik I'll get u someday (devilishly laughing), later bro
let's team up and get him in his closet =x and then we can get him for steve =D
ha, nice one guys. had me going until you said it would be a regular part on the show
LOL, u guys got me, can erick still wear a pirate eyepatch, and a pirate costume for the next Q and A?
I second that! We want Erik in a pirate costume!
Arrr, Steve, lad! :D
The best April Fools joke I ever believed. :D Damn you, Erik, I actually felt sorry for you for a moment. :)
But you won't get us so easily the next year. :)
Nice. I knew that today was a joke, but I never thought that the whole thing was fake. Nice Job!
Sneaky bastards....here i have a better thingy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU
Hell yeah! You got me up until the "regular part". Excellent preparation. Glad you're OK
Wow :) that was an april fool's like 10 days in the making. You sneaky bastards.
DANG IT, hahahaha. Here I was feeling bad for secretly laughing when the camera got shoved over.
dude that was great, good job! glad you can see tho lol
that was a great trick.you should do a episode on how to pull pranks.
excellent one guys, I was fooled
Hahahahaha... you bastards!!!! April fools on the internet is usually lame.... this time.. I fell in it face first shame on you fool me twice.
hahah damn, you definitely got me. I thought...Oh nooo, hopefully his eye really got pwned. Glad it was a sweet joke.
lies all lies!!!!!
haha steve didnt know!!!!
YOU BASTARD!! good prank. I actually felt bad for you when you hurt your eye.. but now I think we need to sacrifice it as retribution for a prank well done.
Damnit,you guys suck...but great prank!
Wow. I COMPLETELY didn't see that one coming. Nice work!
haha you had me there you bastards
but i dont understand, if steve didnt know about the joke, then why did we see him help you true the door of the clinic?
or was that a joke aswell?
Wow. I did not see that coming. Good one indymogul!!!
What sold it for me was the q and eric epi where you were acting paranoid and getting scared of gary the puppet. that's exactly what I would do to someone if they were doped up on pain killers. I did think it was weird on bfx when you didn't show any gore shots...that's not your style.
glad your fine though.
peace.
what was that sound you made when the balloon popped. Haha funny.
Holy sh*t! You guys totally had me on that! I felt really bad at the beginning of the episode but then I found out it was just a cheap trick! You bunch of A-holes!
Scared the shit outta me.
ahhhh!!! This only makes me love you guys more and more and MORE AND MORE!!!!!!!!
But u did scare me....
I almost cried when I saw Eric get hurt then curse then run out of the room....
GREAT JOB!!!!!!
hahahahahaha u got me there :)
haha but you really had me going there
pheww thank god i thought BFX was done! Good joke guys, you had me fooled. Keep up the good work!
oh man that was the best one i see in a long time
well played sir...i can honestly say that this is the only april fools prank i fell for...congrats!
I really thought Justin was abusing Erik, and the "I hurt my eye with a door" thing was to cover things up.
I was thinking about mailing Erik some shelters addresses.
Well at the end everything is ok, but I still think Erik is a passive aggressive bitch.
he should show us how to make a fake throwable boulder that does'nt hurt
I expected your eye to be better, but to have been never hurt in the first place? i knew that camera push looked rather peculiar.
hahaha!......bastards. My other half was convinced that would happen to me......gotta show him the new clip now....great work
wow, you had me going, the patch one was obvious, but you did do a very convincing job.
You SUCK- I was worried dude; and since it's fake you suck for not using enough blood- I didn't notice any blood until the other angle- Head wounds bleed a lot more than other wounds because there is so much more blood flow for the brain so even small wounds bleed a LOT. Glad your O.K.
Son of a.... well played sir! :)
got me:P
O_O pwn't D: best april fools joke
hahahahahahaha!
I forgot to think of pranks for april first
DAMMMNNNN YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
he really does need to be in a pirate suit in the next Q and Erik
OMG, that was great.
I honestly fell for the whole thing... Erik's acting was the seller... However I want to thank indy mogul for giving us an unforgetable lesson in safty.
(You guys are jerks)
I started wondering if it was a prank. I didn't see your eye patch on when you were finishing the build for the Death Ray. Nice job!
For the record I CALLED IT HAHA still pretty good though...
haha that was great, I kinda thought that this vid was a fool and u'd had a gd fast recovery but i never thought the whole thing wos, u got me bad!
dang! I realy thought you got hurt. good one
Haha Legends, totally didnt see that coming it was that well thought out!
but I'm agreeing with the Pirate Suit idea!
Pirate!
Pirate!
Pirate!!
HAVE YOU NO SHAME!
wow you got me but you did tell steve he was there with the balloons
...I'm going to kill Eric...
Erik Beck you sneaky son of a gun! Man that was a good prank, really had me going there. :)
Woah, I was totally convinced!
Dont trick us like that again!
I thought you really hurt yourself!
. . . you beautiful bastard.
Ha-Ha! You got me too... Nice one but I'm glad that your eye is ok.
Oh man you should have just gone for broke and claimed the eye had to be surgically removed. Then you could have
A. Done an awesome missing eye effect
or
B. Been like "Here let me show you what happens when you don't wear eye protection (removes eye patch to reveal nothings wrong)... psych!"
MAN!!! I cant believe i didnt get that
I really felt sorry for you!
I do love some movie magic though. You really pulled it off.
Just imagine how "jokes" that you see in the the news every single day of your life.
That's depressing.
Great prank man I didn't see that coming at all.
It was the the video that made me question. It looked fake
What The... you mean I just got pwned bu Indy Mogul?!? I'm not safe anywere ;)
You SUCK O_o
ah i agree with steve u jerk lol i was all depress about it...but good prank...i'll be looking out next year though so don't thknk u'll do it again
I DON'T LIKE YOU... I REALLY THOUGHT YOU WERE HURT....
lol good joke though and it worked well
LAWL that was a pretty awesome prank
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol You guys totally fooled me. My only question is, if you didn't tell steve why was he throwing a balloon when you all screamed "APRIL FOOLS"?
haha very well done, right from the very beginning. *props*
You morons. It was obvious from the start that his "injury" was fake. For one, if he actually want to the hospital, he would have medical tape on his eye. not scotch tape. Secondly, they wouldn't give you a cheezy pirate eyepatch. the ones they use are blue, and have a different type of strap. next time, get it right. oh and for anyone who actually fell for this... you need to see a doctor about the rapid necritis of your brain.
Well played old man! Of course you realize, if you ever DO have an injury, you won't be getting ANY sympathy! (the boy who cried wolf and everything...)
Nah... you'll probably still get a ton of sympathy because you ROCK!
Erik Beck you are a crafty bastard and I love you. You jerk!
I can't believe everyone fell for this. LOL
eric u are such a jerk
u just screwed it up
i felt so stupid after going through the hole day thinking i havnt fell for a prank then i wach this...dam yhoo
I missed this episode, and then I saw Q and Erik, and I was like, "It healed already?"
I Cried in my sleep about that. Now I know its a joke were threw ERIK!!!
ROFL you got me i really believed it! Well done!
you guys are film making geniouses! I recon that accident was pretty convincing from both angles. Also, i like it how registration to your site is
fast, easy and 'painless' haha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
lol i realy thought that it was real (erik you basterd HAHA!!)
nice job.You really fooled me.I also like the death ray episode
OMg!
