Gordon Rimmer = RLM's Harry Plinkett


Aaron Douglas' portrayal of Gordon Rimmer is exactly like RedLetterMedia's Harry S. Plinkett. I tweeted Jay to let him know so he could check it out but I doubt he will bother to read the tweet. Do they even care? I know they are not fans of people trying to jump on their bandwagon to ride their hard-earned success.

I thought this too. I think they probably will know about it as they have had Max on the show and are probably friends.

Should have name-dropped Max Landis, they fanboy over him a lot.

Since Landis was in a RLM episode, would it be a stretch to think that he portrayed Rimmer like Plinkett on purpose?

that was my final assessment above ^ ^ ^
homage not plagiarism

They do the opposite, actually. They don't seem to like his movies but love him as a friend.

Well, the voice anyway. Rimmer wasn't a serial killer obsessed with pizza rolls. :P

I've tweeted at the RLM guys a few times. I don't think they're very active on social media.

I know they are not fans of people trying to jump on their bandwagon to ride their hard-earned success.


They also seem to dislike any project Max puts out, so I wouldn't expect them to enjoy this show. They seem to like him as a dude, but they also seem to hate his movies.
