Last Laugh Gamma is out / All videos now $20 / Credit cards now accepted

[The Last Laugh]

Hello everyone! Here's some news from The Last Laugh:


LAST LAUGH GAMMA IS AVAILABLE

I'm happy to announce that The Last Laugh's third video, Last Laugh Gamma, is now available. It's a combination of two different sessions. The first features a solo model which I tickle myself (though you can barely see me), and the second features a duo of friends tickling each other.

As usual you can read a detailed description of the new video on my website, along with a number of picture samples. To play or download the sample videoclip right now, <a href="http://pages.sbcglobal.net/unclstevel/llgsample.wmv">CLICK HERE</a>.

You can also get the clip at the bottom of each description page of my own website (www.thelastlaughinc.com), or you can get it at www.extremetickling.com if you're already a member or wish to become one (the fee is really cheap for the huge number of clips one can find there). By the way, I'd like to thank Uncle Steve of www.extremetickling.com for his usual generosity, as he's once again hosting the clip for me.

By the way, the description and pictures are spread over three pages of my website, so if you want to get a good idea of what the video is like as a whole, make sure you check out all the pages. The first LLG page only covers the first segment. Pages 2 and 3 are equally important, as they each cover one half of the second segment, and those halves are quite different from each other.


NEW PRICES (ONLY $20 PER VIDEO)

After some careful deliberation I've decided to readjust my prices. As some of you know, I've been selling Last Laugh Alpha for $15US ever since I released it in September 2002, but last month I announced that LLBeta and future videos would be $30US, as LLAlpha's price was meant to encourage people to sample my work, not to become the standard price for all my videos. But recently I've been thinking that $30 may have been bit much. So, from now on all my videos will be only $20 each, including LLA (my apologies to those who've already bought LLB at its original price). I prefer to make less profit on each individual sale but sell more copies and thus make more people happy with their purchases. Note that LLA is also $20 now, to make all my videos the same price.


CREDIT CARDS NOW ACCEPTED

After working on this issue for some time, I'm finally ready to accept credit card payments through Paypal. This is a secure system that will cut down on delivery time since an order doesn't need to be sent to me in the mail. It also avoids having to send physical payments through the mail.

Of course, if you don't have a credit card or prefer other methods of payment, cash, money orders and checks are still accepted (though checks are only valid for American and Canadian orders).


SORRY, NO DVD VERSIONS FOR A LONG TIME TO COME

I don't know if this is the case for many people, but if you're waiting for me to produce DVD versions of my videos before ordering them, I'm very sorry to say it probably won't happen for a long time. The sad truth is that I really can't afford the hardware and software to do it. I've already invested a lot in The Last Laugh and I simply can't justify taking the DVD plunge right now. I'm likely to wait until I buy a new computer, and that won't be until at least a year, possibly more (let's just say I'm not exactly rolling in the money right now). You're still free to wait, of course, but I just wanted to let you know that I currently don't have plans to produce that format and the wait may be very long. I'm very sorry about that.

Um thank you for making it and showing us a preview but - nah. No thank you. It just doesn't do it for me and I'll tell you why. The girls are way to young. The tickling is way too soft and they are way too clothed. I just don't believe there is real tickle torture going on there. Sorry. But thanks for the effort really. 🙂

 

[Drago69]

ah..

this is the stuff I like to see. Great job again Francois, keep up the good work, though I don't have any money right now to spend on it, I will try in the near future.

Hello Dodger,

I can appreciate that this isn't a video suited to your specific tastes. But you have to understand that each vendor has his/her own style. Too young? I live next to a big college campus, so naturally most of my models are rather young (though always 18+). Too clothed? Well, that's what my videos are about: down to earth, fully clothed tickling. I'm not interested in nudity in my video. No real tickle torture? I can't deny the fact that Venus and Laetitia don't tickle each other into hysterics (though the first half, with Marjorie, is more intense). But I don't recall claiming that what they did was intense tickle torture. Some parts of my videos are more intense, some are more playful. My videos aren't really about girls being tickle *tortured* per se. It can be an ordeal for them sometimes, but it's mostly meant to be girls having fun tickling each other.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to post the reasons why you don't like this specific video on the TMF, considering it's a matter of personal preferences and not actual flaws in the video. That's just the kind of tickling vid I do. But I'll grant you that you're free to express your opinions, so it's alright. Hopefully LLG and my other videos, past and future, will please other people with different tastes. And I know that other companies do a great job of making videos that suit your particular tastes. To each his/her own.

Francois,

Every person has different tastes, that's why there are many companies to choose from.

I personally love the foot nibbling scenes. I think those are the best parts of the video. Please make sure you keep those in your future movies and video clips.

Take care,

Knight Tickler

 

[Darkknight]

You're right up my alley with your vids Francois. Hence I agree with the Knight.

Really ya can't get any more amatuer with the girls and it's always been fresh to see. They are being themselves not actresses, genuine reactions to tickling that you would not see from most non-ticklephiles.

So thank you for your style of videos.

DK

Se la vie...

Hey, here's MY two cents. If I wasn't in AIT training in the Army right now. Id be ordering this right now instead of replying. There are so many companies out there who have forgotten what it was all about. Though they all serve particular tastes, I find this video based on it's clips to have some real down to earth videos. Me being 19 I can also appreciate some young looking girls out in their videos. (Sorry to all the geezers out there, but mua, can't deny...😛)

The amateur'ness of the videos is what I liked best. Considering all the extravagant bondage and techniques used in RT, it's refreshing to see two girls just tickle the hell out of each other over a couch and having fun doing it. Im gonna get Alpha, and Gamma as soon as I graduate. Paypal is my favorite form of payment too, so you keep doing what you're doing. And making more videos, and ya might be a success.

That's what I love about the tickling community of today, we actually can BITCH about video companies, and OUr prEfeRences, cuz people like you keep giving us variety. I remember when there was only a couple out there. Keep the laughter alive!

It's all a matter of taste....different horses for different courses. I think that you have captured the sexy and fun side of tickling incredibly well. There are other companies who deal with the darker more interrogative side of tickling and they are fine also. I like a little bit of both but your stuff makes me smile 🙂 Tres bien Francois! Bravo!

I'm not sure why you felt the need to post the reasons why you don't like this specific video on the TMF, considering it's a matter of personal preferences and not actual flaws in the video.

But don't you understand? To me those are flaws in the video! It's a flaw to me not to see a lot of skin. It's a flaw to me not to see unnending merciless tickling being done. Do you think that negative comments can only be about lighting and camera angles? No, to me what's actually taking place throughout the video is a flaw. So that's why I posted my reasons. I thought you'd be interested in hearing my perspective. And I did say thanks for the effort so I wasn't a total ass right?

I do understand what you mean. But those are flaws only from your personal point of view, not inherent flaws of the video. As you said yourself, they're flaws *to you*. Using the same logic, I could say that videos that contain nudity are totally flawed, because I'm not at all interested in that stuff myself. But that wouldn't be right, because it's only my personal preference, and many such videos are actually excellent, provided one enjoys nudity in his/her videos. As another example, I personally don't like football, but that certainly doesn't make it a flawed sport. It doesn't include the elements that makes it interesting to me, but that doesn't change the fact that other people are huge fans.

No, you definitely weren't a total ass, as you say, which is why I said I was basically alright with your comments (without being happy about them, you understand), agreeing that you're free to express your feelings. But I also don't think I came down on you for your comments, as you seem to think.

The reason why I responded the way I did is that, somehow, I felt that the mood of your message was more along the lines of "Nice try, but sorry, no dice, this video is flawed and doesn't cut it", instead of "I appreciate the work you put into this video, though it's not my kind of tickling material". It might not be exactly what you meant, but I think it came out a bit like that. However, I can see you didn't mean any harm, and I did appreciate the thank you.

Negative comments are fine, but they should be constructive. If you posted your dislikes when it comes to tickling footage in general on the Tickling Discussion forum (for instance), that would be totally relevant, potentially leading to an interesting discussion. In this case, however, it's not really constructive (though not destructive either), since you used your personal preferences as a reference system to judge the value of a specific video. It doesn't help me improve my videos. That's why I said that I didn't understand why you posted those comments in this thread. I certainly didn't intend to give the impression I was bashing you for your comments.

While I can't honestly say that I'm thrilled with your comments, I do respect your preferences, as well as your right to express them. I'm sorry you don't like my work, but that's ok. I only cover part of the preferences of ticklephiles, but fortunately other vendors do different things, including the type of material you prefer. There's something out there for everyone.

Ok, well, that's pretty much all I had to say about this issue. Thank you for reading.

 

[The Last Laugh]

I'd like to take a moment to thank the people who've posted replies so far, as well as those who have ordered one or more of my videos. I really appreciate the support. I'm also happy to see that my new Paypal payment system works just fine. It's pretty convenient both for the customers and myself.

I'm quite pleased to see evidence that there is indeed a sub-group of ticklephiles who enjoy or even prefer the more down to earth side of tickling. That is, amateur material with regular girls. And the non-nude factor as well. I mean, I assume most of us do like nudity to some extent, and some really like it a lot. But reality is that nudity is all over the place nowadays, and sometimes one needs a break from it, or actually favors this clothed approach. Personally, I find it more natural, more realistic. It makes it easier to identify with the situation and the models.

Now, I realize that my videos aren't always super intense, being sometimes more playful in nature. But that's the way I like it. I like a mix, it adds variety. Oh, granted, I would very much like to work with hyper ticklish models willing to go through hours of agonizing tickle torture. But such models are very hard to come by (around here, anyway), so I have to make due with those that I do find. But just because a model isn't hysterical all the time doesn't mean she isn't entertaining. Depending on the prsentation of the action and the attitude of the models, even moderately ticklish models can be a lot of fun too. At least that's the way I feel. Note that I don't pretend to speak for everybody, far from it. It's just my own point of view. I do hope others share it, though.

As for the nibbling thing, as mentioned by Knight Tickler, I can't promise all videos will feature it, as not all models are willing to do it, and it wouldn't be wise of me to turn down a good model just because she doesn't want to lick her partner's feet or vice versa. But I'll do my best to include such scenes as often as possible.

Actually, I did a tickling session very recently, and the video that will eventually be made from it should be rather heavy on the lick-n-nibble tickling techniques (mostly feet, but also a bit of belly, ribs and armpits). Not only were the girls amusingly responsive to it, but they also enjoyed doing it to each other quite a bit. Very playful and open-minded, they were.

Oh, and Arkham, I'm very happy to know my videos make you smile, heheh! That means a lot to me.

Absolutely Superb!!

Francois, in a world of glamour models and fleshy shows, your videos are a welcome break with the 'Girl Next Door' routine!! Hell, I think that THIS is what makes them so darn great! If I wasn't living with my girlfriend, I'd buy them all right away!!

Cheers, everybody,
SmashTV

p.s. I'm so impressed, I'm going to watch all of the free samples again now!!

 

[T_Money]

dude, wow, let me just say i love your clips/videos, this is such a breath of fresh air from the 'strap a girl to a piece of wood and get her off' type of video, slowly turning into just a porn movie. don't worry about people who are whining about not seeing naked bodies, if there is bare feet in a video, that's good enough for me. keep it up, awesome stuff😀

 

[mrfrench58]

Just wanted to let potential Last Laugh customers know that I received Last Laugh Gamma today and think it's a great video.

This was my first purchase of a tickle video and it couldn't have been more hassle-free. Francois, you did the smart thing by lining up with PayPal.

The service was fast; the mailing was discreet; the tickling was terrific. 😀

Merci!

Why thank you! I'm very pleased that you liked the video and the service. I have to admit that, while standard mail orders work just fine, Paypal is a very convenient method of payment for both the customer and myself. I appreciate that you took the time to post about your experience. Thanks again.
