yep. it’s because in Sufferlandria we speak Painglish
Today’s remaster/re-remaster™ review is A Very Dark Place
AVDP will always have a soft place in my heart. It was one of the very first SUF vids I ever bought, before the SUF app, well over 10 years ago. And, it featured as the opener in my Knighthood quest. Cancellara! Cobbles! ![]()
Now credit where credit is due. This might just be the Holy Water Standard in re-remastered™ SUF classics. If I had never done a SUF vid before and I had never done AVDP before I’d just say this is one great SUF vid. Fantastic job!!

From the black screen text at the opening taunting what’s to come to the near perfect Climb integration and all the wonderful SUF elements. References to GvA, the evil laugh, Couchlandrian temptations, humour and well timed music. SUF style encouragement and praise for a job well done.
I really loved how each of the 5 Dark Places has a name and a subtitle. All so very SUF.
The footage is pretty decent and the efforts mostly match what’s on screen.
Loved the little bump out text of what’s in a Sufferlandrian musette, as well as the little nod to the wahoominati with the hashtag #twaaw (the wahoominati are always watching)
Here’s a nit-pick: with about 10:16 remaining in the workout, screen text says “wait a second”. In SUF we’d say “Waitaminnit!”
Chapeau for this one. I’ll look forward to the next time it comes up. Good job!!
Second your review sir. Did remastered AVDP for a second time tonight and really enjoyed it. Properly hard but the video seemed to make it pass pretty quickly.
I’m also sad that cobbles Cancellara is gone, but Pinot is a fitting replacement and I love the bit about him arriving, like we knew he would. Spot on.
The new SUF references are great too, and love the 5 dark places as a story line.
I have to agree. AVDP is probably the best of the re-remasters. If the rest of the remasters could be brought to this level it would make a lot people (and Fluffy) very happy.
