G.R.I.E.F. Trailer
Posted by Eddy in Extras, G.R.I.E.F., News, Trailers, Videos on Aug.24, 2008.
In a world overrun with hoodlums, criminals and vagabonds— griefers — one government agency rises to take a stand against an abomination that threatens the very existence of Matchmaking.
This is a trailer for our new Halo mini-series that should be hitting next month, titled, as you all know, G.R.I.E.F. It’s going to be an action/comedy series with a heavy emphasis on the action. We’re excited about it, and you should be too.
Stay tuned to the site for some more cool announcements and extras this week (some of it TLW related) that you definitely don’t want to miss. Huzzah!
Edit: Much thanks to Burnie from Rooster Teeth for the shout out. You all should go check out Ep 12 of Reconstruction.
Any low...” on

August 25th, 2008 on 1:52 am
Huzzah!! looks awesome! can’t wait!
August 25th, 2008 on 2:04 am
Will greif be up for download?
August 25th, 2008 on 2:54 am
Yea, um… I really think that the leader is Westheimer from The Leet world? Y dont u put other CT-s as well then?
August 25th, 2008 on 3:00 am
Nope. I didn’t do a voice for this trailer. That’s actually Ty, who also voices Mendoza.
August 25th, 2008 on 4:57 am
it IS very trailer-ish. Great work guys
August 25th, 2008 on 5:38 am
woo!! first post in a while!!!
im so glad the Gunstop guy is back….this trailer was constructed on paradoxes
August 25th, 2008 on 5:42 am
Nicely done.
I definitely heard Ellis/GunStop customer. Lol.
August 25th, 2008 on 5:43 am
Great trailer! The music sounds familiar… hehe
August 25th, 2008 on 5:47 am
HUZZAH! OUR SIDES ARE MADE OF IRON!
:-/
Also, Eddy, it does sound like you!
August 25th, 2008 on 6:02 am
COOL just like Eddy
Ty took your place 
August 25th, 2008 on 6:37 am
Gunstop customer, nice, hope theres a lot of teabagging in this one….
August 25th, 2008 on 6:42 am
awesome trailer,
now I really really can’t wait for this series!
good job!
August 25th, 2008 on 7:17 am
Huzzah is a word of many meanings… I dare you to chose one… no.
COULDNT STOP LAUGHING!!
August 25th, 2008 on 7:28 am
this looks like its gonna turn out good.
August 25th, 2008 on 8:06 am
Always knew one of the four would say that
August 25th, 2008 on 8:11 am
I have only one thing to say about this trailer:
Huzzah.
August 25th, 2008 on 8:14 am
HUZZAH!!!!!
Definiton: F*CK YEAH!
August 25th, 2008 on 8:19 am
Lmao, Why are you staring?
Awesome Smooth few, I’m looking forward to G.R.I.E.F.
August 25th, 2008 on 9:04 am
XD
Great trailer, hope this does well when its out, i know i will like it
Ps: HAZZAH!
August 25th, 2008 on 9:07 am
opps double comment >.>
August 25th, 2008 on 9:37 am
looks nice!
looking forward to it!
August 25th, 2008 on 9:59 am
Looks awesome!
but which one is Palyer?
August 25th, 2008 on 11:42 am
there was definitely some research done for this one…
August 25th, 2008 on 12:46 pm
Well if you’ve seen TLW then you’re inevitably going to think about the T’s and CT’s, but the challenge for these guys is to make sure people know this series is different from TLW. Still, whoever said “Huzzah” that I liked
August 25th, 2008 on 2:09 pm
OMG YES! Incrediable man is in the show! HUZZAH!
August 25th, 2008 on 3:06 pm
I’ve kept up with TLW since it started, but I checked the music and found no relation. It sounds like a final fantasy rendition of the Pirates of the Caribbean song. Just an observation. If you guys would like to advertise, Eddy, Nick, Daniel, check out GamerChiefs.com. We’ve got 500 people who’d be in awe over your amazing shorts and the Leet World. We also capture videos, and me and some friends are working on a podcast as I type. I’ll tell them about you guys.
August 25th, 2008 on 3:23 pm
I think I heard the voice of Chet with the one that yelled “GRIEFERS!” I think.
Looks like this’ll be good.
The one that says HUZZAH is done by the voice of Westheimer?
Same voice for the other Halo 3 short?
August 25th, 2008 on 3:34 pm
Right on the first voice, wrong on the second.
August 25th, 2008 on 3:56 pm
so its chet and i think umm ellis and i know that the third voice is westhimer or daniel right? anyone want to continue it?
August 25th, 2008 on 4:04 pm
No, griefers are people that join servers, and dileberatly disrupt them.
August 25th, 2008 on 5:11 pm
LOL i like the idea but it kinda reminds me a bit of RvB (which plenty of people will no doubt say that too). Although that’s no bad thing, really. Is the Huzzah! guy the Will Farrel/Shakespearian guy fron the shorts? I love that guy!
August 25th, 2008 on 5:21 pm
Haha. Research, research, research! But, still love the music DD!
August 25th, 2008 on 6:25 pm
:O this looks epic, but the beginning of the music sounded well not as great as b4, other wise awesome!!!!!
August 25th, 2008 on 6:34 pm
Fucking Shit!
I’m really exited…
August 25th, 2008 on 7:38 pm
Huzzah is a word with… many meanings
I dare you to choose one.. no..
looks…kick..ASS!!
August 25th, 2008 on 8:12 pm
that trailer was awesome
cant wait for G.R.I.E.F to come out
also how long will this last
maybe a couple episodes or a couple seasons? (who knows)
August 25th, 2008 on 9:33 pm
Really? Hmm… I’ll have to listen to it again
Wait, is Huzzah! the voice of Ellis? I hear a slight resemblance.
August 25th, 2008 on 9:55 pm
LOL, that research probably consisted of watching the Pirates of the Caribbean movies: eerily similar…
August 25th, 2008 on 10:05 pm
Dude! Huzzah is a Westheimer quote (Episode 2 - Dirty Deeds)
August 25th, 2008 on 10:59 pm
BRavo and, dare I say, huzzah!
finally a group who will step up and take care of the malevolent scourge that has plagued Halo 3 matchmaking for so long.
Great trailer. I’m hype-zored.
August 25th, 2008 on 11:21 pm
The music is so pirates..
I thought the whole thing was corny =(
August 26th, 2008 on 12:41 am
Woot for you guys. Burnie mentioned you guys at Rooster teeth website
August 26th, 2008 on 12:49 am
Cant wait for episode 01
August 26th, 2008 on 1:17 am
The whole series is going to be pretty over the top.
August 26th, 2008 on 4:24 am
I’ve watched this like 10 times over and that last line just keeps getting funnier.
August 26th, 2008 on 6:23 am
r u gonna post the trailer on machinima and if not u should just to get a larger exposure of fans instead of just ur leeet world one but only the trailer
August 26th, 2008 on 7:06 am
Last part, were he says “GRIEFERS !”
Starcraft 2 reference ?
August 26th, 2008 on 7:37 am
I swear I heard Westhiemers voice..
August 26th, 2008 on 11:52 am
Ha, I have to say that all of us are just baffled that everyone thinks Westheimer’s voice is in this, seeing as how I didn’t do a single voice in the trailer
August 26th, 2008 on 2:16 pm
well then wow who evers doing the kick ass job of impersonating eddie keep it up its awsome!
August 26th, 2008 on 2:20 pm
the whole idea was to make it outrageous and trailer-esque. pirates music is one of the most over the top anthems ever. its similar, but not even the same. and if anyone wants me to hear their music, i would gladly listen
August 26th, 2008 on 2:22 pm
guys stop slamming jace hes the guy that does all the sound stuff so i wouldent get on his bad side or it could be trouble =(
August 26th, 2008 on 2:48 pm
Thats a burn
August 26th, 2008 on 3:07 pm
btw i love you guys:)
August 26th, 2008 on 4:34 pm
*tWiTch* does this mean ……..PODCAST?!?!? *TWicht*
August 26th, 2008 on 4:52 pm
Yes, yes, we love you too dangerous. Hugs and kisses, TLW fans
August 26th, 2008 on 4:55 pm
i dont get something, are griefers the good guys or the bad guys???
August 26th, 2008 on 5:22 pm
putthe trailer on machinima u need more viewers so u can have some represintation
August 26th, 2008 on 5:39 pm
Hello, Eddy said the one that said Huzzah! in the trailer wasn’t Westheimer’s voice. -.-
So I’m guessing that it’s the voice of Ellis.
August 26th, 2008 on 5:43 pm
I’m not interested in Machinima.com making money off ad space on the videos that we post. Besides, more than 80 percent of Machinima.com’s viewers don’t understand that Machinima.com doesn’t actually make the videos that they post, and they’re not too keen to point people away from themselves, so it wouldn’t help that much.
August 26th, 2008 on 5:54 pm
Aw ug… Sorry to bring up the music theory. I didn’t know u guys will get this much “slamming”… WHY WHY WHY!!! :’(
August 26th, 2008 on 6:09 pm
Btw, thanks for all the awesome comments on the trailer. It’s cool to see how excited you guys are.
August 26th, 2008 on 6:20 pm
+1
August 26th, 2008 on 6:35 pm
Как всегда на высоте!
August 26th, 2008 on 8:23 pm
holy fuck o.O that trailer is good just like your leetworld one
August 26th, 2008 on 8:25 pm
guys where is mater chief? he would deal wiht these GRIEFERS any ways once again good and also good job on theleetworld
August 26th, 2008 on 8:27 pm
perty jaked about this, if the trailer is an indication of good(nes?) then it is very good. and also u gyse should band together with rvb and make a super series, im super serial.
August 27th, 2008 on 12:34 am
Well I skimmed through most of the comments and yes… I am baffled… I could have sworn that was your voice, Eddy. But I shouldn’t be so surprised, Ty’s voice acting is amazing: “huzzah!” “I told you never to use my name!” and his super-crazy-go-awesome impression of don draper ~~~(I actually did not vote becuase I wasn’t sure whether I liked his act becuase he’s/was mendoza, or becuase it was so good(most likely both)).~~~ sorry no more parenthsis
-> Are there more/new people voice acting in ‘G.R.I.E.F.’? **
“““““““““““““““““““
** Which brings me to this question
P.S.!!!#!@#!@$! Sorry about the long comments. Peace foo(s).
P.S.S. (sorry) Thanks for the 5 minutes to make corrections on our comments!
August 27th, 2008 on 6:18 am
very nice idea, love the ending of the trailer
August 27th, 2008 on 10:35 am
Man i love that voice.
“i dare you to pick one” lol
August 27th, 2008 on 11:52 am
haha, i guess no one remembers the huzzah guy from “The Over Achiever” and “Gunstop Way”. I did the voice, its the same character, the cqb. I kind of love him and I cry every time someone thinks eddy did the voice. thx.
August 27th, 2008 on 3:33 pm
This was such an awesume trailer, im really looking foward to it! I have to say between this, TLW, and Rvb Reconstruction, im going to have a good year.
August 27th, 2008 on 4:51 pm
So I WAS right with my second guess
I listened to the trailer more closely a few times, and I heard a hint of Ellis.
August 27th, 2008 on 5:09 pm
I dunno why people think this is like RvB , clearly we’re having to do with a small elite group with distinct personalities and dysfunctions who’re kicking the asses of generic 14-year old-minded players.
It reminds of a Fellowship of the Ring like thing, actually.
Great work!
Love the leader voice, btw. It’s got grit.
August 27th, 2008 on 5:43 pm
Westy!
August 27th, 2008 on 8:05 pm
What does G.R.I.E.F. mean. What each of the letters mean. Is it just a part of the word griefers or its like the F.B.I (federal bureau of investigation) and the letters mean something.
August 27th, 2008 on 8:21 pm
Eddy you sure you weren’t the Movie Theater Man? (Who has the lines; “Beyond our Borders there…etc…..” in the beginning AKA the guy who narrates the trailer) That sounds kind of like you…… Heh, I mean It could be Daniel, Ty, Nick, Jeff, or even Jace. Or possibly an unknown source O_o!
EDIT: Also I doubt they will tell us what G.R.I.E.F. Stands for. Getting Ready for Incinerating Evil fucks? I don’t know…
August 27th, 2008 on 11:50 pm
its funny how very few pplz comment on how this is like rvb, but you see a lot of comments on how people are flaming people who say tht. anyway i cant say it enough, i NEED this to continue living. this looks sooooooo good.
August 28th, 2008 on 12:35 am
Daniel, don’t worry. I knew it was you. Your voice is way more manly than Eddy’s.
August 28th, 2008 on 4:37 am
I came into this pretty late in the game (ep 10 onwards) after stumbling over the original leet world trailer.
I was suitably impressed and watched the actual series and was blown away.
Watching the shorts such as “Bag boy” and “The Gunstop way” whetted an appetite for another Halo based show. The trailer for G.R.I.E.F. has furthered that, and now I can’t wait.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for making me smile.
August 28th, 2008 on 1:30 pm
I can’t for it.
August 28th, 2008 on 1:41 pm
Thanks dude! Glad to have you aboard!
August 28th, 2008 on 1:52 pm
yeah, I’m kinda curious too…
August 28th, 2008 on 1:54 pm
Hehe, we’ll reveal that later.
August 28th, 2008 on 3:08 pm
I did notice that “Huzza is a word with many meeings. i dare you to guess one!”
August 28th, 2008 on 8:36 pm
does someone have to say “huzzah” in each halo video you guys do?
August 29th, 2008 on 12:59 pm
Looks boring as shit.. PPhhhh Halo, nice choice -.-
September 1st, 2008 on 7:30 pm
@Roman: Reasons, please. If you have none, go away, troll.
September 1st, 2008 on 7:49 pm
You’re right. I knew we should have gone with Viva Pinata.
September 1st, 2008 on 10:26 pm
Holy shit if you were to do a michinima using Viva Pinata I would have a heart attack from the shear joy! That would be the strangest yet funniest one of them all!
Oh and it looks great, I was hoping you would do something with a lot more explosions/action and this looks like it will have it. You guys are great at telling a story, so my hopes are really high for GREAF.
September 2nd, 2008 on 9:37 am
Yes! The triumphant return of my favorite character from the shorts! I cannot stop laughing whenever I hear the chivalric tone in that goofy voice, typically declaiming something obvious:
“Stay your weapon my friend, this foe seeks our interaction through words, not force.”
“Perhaps I can barter for a new weapon. The day is mine!”
“Noble storefront worker,”
“Your speech is constructed on paradoxes!”
“What does the M inscribed on the side of this large, dangerous gun stand for?”
That guy is gold. Thanks for the laughs Daniel.

November 5th, 2008 on 11:45 am
So ….is this series still in the planning works?
