A VHS That Fooled Half the Community

On June 2, 2025, the April Fools "A Restorable VHS" was uploaded to the Triple M and Co. channel, which is part of the Weird Sulonam Content series, short shitposts that can be enjoyed with the whole family.

This video was a total surprise for both the Company members and the RoSe community, as this video was a surprise project that began its plans literally on April 1, 2025 after Sulonam realized that Merphi was not going to be able to upload the respective final RoSe trailer as promised due to personal and development problems. So, Sulonam took that opportunity to carry out all the planning of the troll as the supposed "Final Trailer".

Originally, the video script was quite simple, but after about two hours of random concentration and reorganization on a night, we were able to create a much more extensive script with a better structure for how to demonstrate each scene. The production and editing of the video went phenomenally well; there were tons of laughs while recording each scene, and having the help of certain entities of madness made the whole experience extra special.

Next, we'd like to talk in detail about each scene and explain why it was made, in short, a behind-the-scenes look.

Scene 01: The VHS Beginning

The opening is literally a scene from the actual Final Trailer recreated in our own style, and we asked Sofi to help us finish the sketches for the Exes who appear. The Exe voice was done by Stimbo The Third.

Sulonam's Green Screens were a challenge, as we had to dismantle our bedroom to make room for them. As a fun fact, the VHS Sulonam plays is literally a Scooby-Doo VHS tape, so the comment about Shaggy Restored giving him the tape has a much more literal punchline.

Scene 02: Artisus Breakdance

This video is one of the secrets of the mod's SoundTest. The most curious thing about this scene is that we never included it in the Slander video, which always struck me as odd, as it works perfectly as a joke that fits into that video. Anyway, you could appreciate Artisus's incredible dance moves.

Scene 03: Webs

Of all the scenes in the video, this one was the longest to develop. First, we had to enlist the help of the beloved Cherrinum in creating the charting, sprites, BG and gameplay. Secondly, we required permission from Exe, the song's composer, to use the song in the short. The song "Webs" is a meme song that will be coming to RoSe in a very future update with its respective remastered version.

During the scene editing process, the biggest challenge was using the random dance footage to match the rhythm of the song, especially due to the constant bugs in the video editor and the change that occurred at the beginning of the short's development related to the 4:3 format, which was chosen to give the video greater immersion.

Scene 04: Pablo's Search

This scene is a clear parody and inspiration for all those scenes in documentaries that are always redundant with questions that don't get to a specific point and aren't relevant at all.

The Pablo joke is one of those comedic scenes that lacks a punchline; it just leaves you wondering who the real Pablo is, although those who saw the Slander already know who the real Pablo is. Still, we managed to do a better job with the comedy and joke presentation compared to the Slander.

As a fun fact, one of the images of Pablos that appears is actually Blakase, a real-life cousin of the Triple M and a member of the Company. If you're not a Triple M familiar, this visual joke would go completely unnoticed.

Scene 05: Don't Worry RoSe Fan

Of all the scenes in the video, this was the one we were most hesitant about making, simply because it took us two months to make a joke about this meme. The main inspiration for this scene was a version of this same meme created by Dolor de Duodeno, which has a very similar joke.

Scene 06: How to Download RoSe

This scene is one of our personal favorites not only because it's the first Loquendo-style video we've ever made, but also because we managed to give Mr. Restored's character his moment to shine, which only had a quick cameo in the last frame of RoSe's Slander.

The scene contains the typical jokes and phrases you might hear on Loquendos, such as social media spam and "I won't download it because I already have it". This scene also made us both download Loquendo and change our entire wallpaper to GTA.

Unfortunately, this is the only scene in the entire video where there were copyright issues, and you can see it in the abrupt change of music during the social media spam section.

Scene 07: Beautiful Words from the Devs

This scene is another of our personal favorites, and it came as a huge surprise to the Company members who appeared in the scene, as they had no idea about their surprise appearances. The scene is a clear parody of those scenes that always feature poetic or philosophical quotes from certain famous people.

The audios are Death Lines you get when you lose to Merphi in their respective week, and the funniest ones were chosen for this scene. Pollo Rostizado was the one who made Cherrinum's Meme, skipping Kophy's turn was completely intentional and Luc's audio is video-exclusive.

Scene 08: Russians Bees

The shortest scene in the video, which is clearly a parody of a documentary. For this section, we asked SonicPlay to help provide the voice for the Russian narrator, who did a quick and easy job that completely helped deliver the punchline. And in case you're wondering, Manolete was the one who shouted "Cyka Blyat".

Scene 09: Shaggy and his Schizophrenia

This scene with Shaggy Restored is another one of our personal favorites and is considered the third part of this character's story. The scene features references and jokes from both past Shaggy Restored videos and RoSe inside jokes, such as Graverobbed ripping off the mod and the Temu poster incident.

Shaggy Restored's voice was performed by Kurtz, who recorded the dialogue in Sulonam's house with the Aedra as witnesses. There is an existing audio of the bloopers, but it's undecided whether they will be used in any future videos.

The voice of the DogCatcher was performed by Sulonam himself, and the voice style of Tulio Triviño was a recommendation from Mr. L, which fit like a ring.

Scene 10: RoSe Garden

This scene is a clear parody of these quick commercials that occur between transitions. Impressively, we didn't encounter any copyright issues with the background music. The video used was created by Luc himself for April Fools Day, and the original unedited video can be found exclusively in the Videos Menu, Extra Material section on the website.

Scene 11: Car Meets ALEX

This is literally the scene in the video that is most on the horror side, and in such a versatile short with so many references and parodies to different styles of footage, it was very necessary to suddenly change the rhythm of the comedy, because it makes the scene become unexpected and gives a greater reaction from the viewer.

Car video is actually a remake of an exclusive short film found in the Videos Menu, Extra Material section on the website, in which Car meets the fearsome SuloSans. That Extra short film was reworked to work with the video in question.

Scene 12: Undervoid

This scene is a literal parody of analog horror, and it was fairly easy to emulate the style of this type of film. Originally, we had planned to make a separate short called "Trenetic Complaints", which would be a satire featuring an elegantly dressed Sulonam complaining about Treno's alleged cancellations. Unfortunately, we decided to scrap the idea because we weren't very motivated to make it.

In this scene we had the complete intention of demonstrating the hypocrisy, closed-mind and ridiculousness of the cancellations that Underboi made to Treno in 2024, and we used Bonzi Buddy's voice to give a more satirical tone to the scene, because the words that come out of people who want to harm or ruin others for stupidities, unimportant things, jealousy or evil purposes have no value and should not be taken into account by anyone with more than 2 fingers of forehead.

Scene 13: The VHS Ending

After Sulonam returned with the repaired tape and leaving the ending of the film that was shown for the majority of the short film a complete mystery, we decided to repeat the scene from the beginning to create false expectations that ended with a funny punchline.

The entire scene with Slaps is clearly inspired by Sr. Pelo's video style, and Sulonam was the one who gave the voice to this enigmatic and extravagant Exe. The most challenging part of making the scene was animating Slaps, since we had to do it frame by frame inside the same video editor, but the result was very satisfying, especially because of the number of visual jokes and the final punchline.

There's one more thing to talk about about the short. The original script was intended to have a commercial about selling barrels with guns, which is why we bought a fake gun. After the script was rewritten, the Barrel with a Gun became the short's running gag, appearing 4 times in total, resulting in one of the best post-credits scenes in our videos and people constantly saying the phrase "Wait, is that a Barrel with a Gun?".

The impact of this short was very noticeable. On the positive side, almost everyone who saw it had a fantastic time, having a very fun experience and laughing out loud at the moments presented despite it being an April Fool's joke uploaded in June. All the positive reactions from people cheered us up and motivated us enormously, and several members of the Company expressed their love for this project.

On the negative side, a small number of people were upset by the trolling, which is understandable, as the Final Trailer had been waiting for a long time. Others took it quite personally, from blacklisting the mod to threatening to leak it. The people who were so upset about the trolling need to swallow those high expectations and learn some patience and respect for the devs.

Although at the end of the day, we had the last laugh, not only because of the great time we offered to all the entities that managed to enjoy the short, but also because the trolling was so great that it caused enormous demotivation and disinterest among the leakers about continuing to leak the mod, as they saw it as completely unnecessary.

We're truly grateful for all the support, all the laughs and all the help we received in making this short film. It was a special surprise for all of you and we hope you can continue to enjoy the future madness. We appreciate you taking the time to read this post, and we wish you a wonderful week.

Sincerely, Triple M
