This sounds corny, but it's true: I can STILL remember setting up (way too much) plastic dropcloth in some terrible Motel 6 hotel room, waiting for my very first model to show up, and wondering if I'd ever been that nervous AND excited simultaneously. And then after everything was cleaned up and I began watching the footage in the camera viewfinder (because no WAY was I waiting 'til I got home), that same combo of nervousness AND excitement hit me once more, but this time for a different reason.... because I knew, with every fiber of my being, that I was DEFINITELY gonna have to do this again.
199 videos later, here we are. God bless Liz, whenever she is.... Because if she'd been a diva, or gotten weirded out by all the pies scattered around the floor (and dresser, and beds, and TV).... Or just simply not shown up that afternoon.... I absolutely guarantee I would've packed up after my one shoot and called it a day.
Instead, you got stuck with me, for better or worse... For 14 years (!!) and counting. So you're welcome. And I'm sorry.
I already knew no one shoot could live up to the "hype" of SS200, so I didn't even try. The entire page is simply a look back, with all our various "Year X" and "Just The Hits" compilations, finally gathered in one place. (Which, frankly, should've happened long ago.) http://slapstickstuff.com/SS200.htm
There's also a new retrospective trailer, which ties in nicely to the previous ones from earlier eras. (Plus, I made sure this one wouldn't get pulled off YouTube for copyrighted music... So if nothing else, I HAVE learned something over the years.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGgIZ6n7yiI
Anyway, I've talked too much, as I tend to do. If you have any fun SlapstickStuff memories or thoughts on your favorite model(s) or scenes, I'd love to hear them. Thanks again for all your kind words and support over the years. I'm really glad it worked out the way it did.
And finally, because I have to be plugging SOMETHING.... I did use this occasion to roll out a new run of "Year X" compilations in HD. The three new ones cover Years 4-6.... or what historians will one day call "The Breana Era." And because of my accelerated release schedule (and, um, less scenes per vid), these new comps cover 48 different volumes... as opposed to 31 with Years 1-3. So, more bang for the buck then? (If nothing else, slime fans finally get 20+ minutes of NOTHING but slime for the first time in years....)
And yes, I rendered all the 1080p HD comps down to 480p for you loyal guys with your slow-ass computers. Never change!!
Below is a smattering of pics from the Years 4-6 compilations. And yes, nearly all the bits in the new trailer come from these comps... because Rich does NOT have the energy to sort through 200 different videos anymore.
Congratulations Rich, your vids were my entry into WAM and were exceptional in helping me deal with that part of my life and later on other aspects of my sexuality and life in general. Probs all sounds a bit corny but its all been a real big help so congratulations once again and thank you.
Congratulations Rich! Very cool. Too many awesome moments to name, but definitely the highest percentage of hottest (or more accurately/importantly non-trashiest) models by a given producer in the biz. Lindsey and Kristina are probably my top two since they always come to mind first but there are probably 20 or more that are close second. We appreciate the work you put into your productions and the fickleness you put up with from us. Very glad that first shoot went the way it did. Hopefully the Slaptick Stuff train keeps rolling.
Congrats, Rich!! I absolutely remember you first opened your website and started selling vids! You were one of a kind then and now. I loved your early trailers and actually remember thinking you had great taste in music
You've certainly pied some fun and beautiful ladies over the years and I think you continue to contribute something really unique to the community. I've always appreciated your quirky and intelligent sense of humor, your energy, and the love and attention to detail that's evident in all your shoots. Wishing you all the best.
Bless ya Rich! I have made purchases on and off from your site (I got my DVDs still) for years. I have seen your site from almost its inception. Don't stop! And because you asked, our recently retired from your website Carrie is one of my all time favorite models you've used. She had this unbeatable cuteness about her that made it incredibly hot to watch her get messed up. Breanna is also a favorite. Can you please tell her she is amazing for taking all the mess and still coming back for more.
I'd also like to take a moment to note another milestone here:
Regis hits the big 0-0-0.
That's right, 14 years (and counting!) of adding Slapstick Stuff preview pics to my voluminous spank bank, wanking furiously to Slapstick Stuff trailers, kibitzing at length on the relative merits of Slapstick Stuff models, and never *quite* pulling the trigger on a purchase.
Grats, Rich! I think my first purchase was one I think is no longer available(at least a casual search didn't turn it up). A blonde in a skin tight silver pant suit, but I think, IIRC, she was one of your less enthusiastic models and it was totally apparent in the video. Britney from 105 is my favorite SS Stuff girl of all time, though!! And 'Three Whipped Cream Pies on the Wall' my favorite bit!! Maybe that could be a future compilation release?

I thought Meg was actually pretty enthusiastic! She did 6 scenes that day!! (AND came back multiple times, always with cute friends she would gleefully destroy.)
I'll agree that SS105 Britney was amazing. Her becoming a mom and quitting modeling was a sad day all around.
Where to begin?? It's an incredible body of work, with a stunning collection of performers, and nobody hits that dynamic tension of sexy slapstick like Rich does. It fucking rocks. I've been so happy with so many scenes, with so many models, I can't even begin to summarize... but these scenes definitely approach perfection in my book.

Hey thanks! Some less-appreciated scenes in your pics that I really love too! (R.I.P. the Top Hat Era.... )
This thread is very cool and also a *little* overwhelming. Usually you need to die before people say so many nice things about you!
Zoidberg's Evil Twin said: Actually, I am kind of surprised no wam video producer, especially pies, has not used/abused Peter Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" yet for a promo.
Pretty sure Rich himself made a retrospective trailer, many years ago, with the 1812 Overture.
Meantime, here are some caps from one of my all-time favorite Stuff videos, starring the incomparable Elle as a sexy, outrageous bundle of personality to spare.

PMtoo is 100% correct.... Not only did I use the 1812 Overture, but I used it for my FIRST "retrospective" trailer back in 2004! Celebrating our first TEN videos!! (It seemed like a big deal at the time....)
I have bought umpteen clips from you and really enjoyed them. Plus your scenes and trailers have genuinely made me laugh out loud on occasions, you have a real gift for comedy and creativity.
