Does anyone know where I could find the old SlapstickStuff teaser circa 2005-06? It began with a countdown of how many pies and how many gallons of slime had been used up until that point (maybe the first 30 volumes or so). I also recall the background music was Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld". That clip was my introduction to Rich's stuff in the early days of YouTube and its very nostalgic for me, so any help would be appreciated!
I exactly know what teaser you're talking about because I also wanted to find it again.
I asked Rich a few years ago and he kindly sent it to me (after he could finally remember it ).
The video is on my computer in low quality (Rich said that he probably would post it on YouTube in HD but I didn't find it).
As it is my first participation on this website, I'm not aware of all the rules and I don't know if we're allowed or able to post a teaser of this kind. Someone let me know.

Haha.... Okay OKAY I'm gonna add a couple vintage trailers to the YouTube channel.... Maybe this week?
This particular one I need to find in decent (non-WMV) quality. Hopefully it's in my DVD contents somewhere.
I know that early on, some trailers weren't posted to YouTube due to rights issues. That was the case for the one with Carmina Burana, and the more recent one with the 80s band Wax. Both times the video was blocked due to music clearance.
EDIT: Success! God bless Me from 15 years ago, who had the foresight to throw on ALL the original trailers in DVD quality at the tail end of SS30 (the one with the silent movie pie fight, and also the ridiculous documentary about making it). Found the Can-Can one there.... along with most of the early individual ones, which I might add to YouTube over the next few months.
Here's the other one I was thinking of, also newly added to YouTube. (This one really DID get blocked for years due to music clearance. Carmina Burana!!!)
I wrote more in the description, but yeah.... That last rapid-fire sequence has pie hits from ALL 82 volumes I'd made at the time. (How much free time did I have back then?!?)

This one takes me back! This was probably my first introduction to your stuff, Rich. It's also triggering flashbacks to the time I spent waiting for videos like this to buffer back then . It's cool seeing it again after all these years and as one continuous playthrough.
Jesus, Rich! These old trailers remind me of how consistent you were in casting a variety of really fun, pretty ladies for your shoots. I mean, you still do, but you really hit the ground running. Truly inspirational stuff. Congrats on the success!
I feel like the fun has been missing from a lot of what I've seen in recent years and these trailers just nail it. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
