4	''The Far Cry Experience'', alternatively known as ''[[VillainOverride The Vaas Montenegro Experience]]'', is a web series {{Prequel}} to ''VideoGame/FarCry3'', starring actor Creator/ChristopherMintzPlasse AsHimself, filming a survival show on the incredibly dangerous Rook Islands as a means to promote the InUniverse version of ''Far Cry 3''.

6	The series was released for free online, and can be viewed in its entirety [[https://youtu.be/6C6mraTsxq8 here]].
7	----
8	!!Tropes applying to this series include:
9	* AdamWesting: Christopher Mintz-Plasse plays himself, as a huge {{Jerkass}} with [[SmallNameBigEgo an equally huge ego]].
10	* AffablyEvil: As expected of Vaas. When you're not pissing him off, he's actually a pretty jovial guy, and genuinely tries to bond with Chris when he captures him, even if this could just be him biding his time as he's holding Chris for ransom and plans to sell him into slavery.
11	* BlackComedy: You'd be hard-pressed not to laugh at least ''once'' at [[ComedicSociopathy all the shit that Vaas puts Chris through]]. Highlights include, but aren't limited to: burying him in the sand with only his head peeking out, nearly drowning him with the Islands' high tide, electrocuting him with a car battery, and pissing on his face to "freshen him up".
12	* CelebrityParadox: Chris is filming a survival show to promote ''Far Cry 3''. Perhaps the game is much different plot-wise InUniverse?
13	* DownerEnding: Chris and his friends die, and now Vaas is coming for some poor souls landing on the island..
14	* EarlyBirdCameo: In the ending, Vaas gets a call about some fresh meat on their way to the island. As we know from ''Far Cry 3'', this is Jason Brody and his loved ones.
15	* EvilIsHammy: Vaas, all the way. He just [[ChewingTheScenery Chews the Scenery]] in nearly every scene he's in.
16	* {{Expy}}: Chris' clothes are very similar to Jason Brody's.
17	* AFatherToHisMen: Vaas clearly cares for his gang of pirates, and gets pissed when Chris shoots at them.
18	* {{Foil}}: Chris is one for Jason Brody.
19	** Chris starts off as a total {{Jerkass}}, while Jason starts off as a NiceGuy.
20	** Chris and Jason both have absolutely no combat experience and are clearly out of their element on the unforgiving Rook Islands, but while Jason eventually adapts and [[TookALevelInBadass becomes a competent warrior]], Chris very barely becomes able to defend himself, and gets captured rather easily ([[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy and embarassingly]]).
21	*** Something noteworthy about this contrast is that Chris is an accomplished actor, even if he's not exactly A-list. Jason is just some no-name rich kid from [=LA=], and yet he later becomes TheChosenOne.
22	** Chris unfortunately dies and fails to save his friends. [[spoiler:Jason ''can'' die if he chooses to join Citra and kill his friends, something Chris wouldn't even dream of doing.]]
23	* ForegoneConclusion: You can find Chris' head still buried in the sand in ''Far Cry 3'' proper.
24	* TheHeroDies: Chris, as well as all of his friends, are killed on the island.
25	* HopeSpot: Vaas tells the audience that he's decided to listen to fan demand and spare Chris' life... only to find that he's already died from the torture Vaas has been subjecting him to.
26	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Chris may be an asshole, but he does everything he can to save his friends.
27	* ShoutOut: Vaas, being WickedCultured, makes many references to film.
28	** Vaas claims to be a huge fan of Chris' work, "even the shitty [films]", and he may or may not be serious. He even calls him "[[{{Film/Superbad}} [=McLovin=]]]".
29	** Vaas refers to a man that he tortured and stuffed into a deer carcass as "{{WesternAnimation/Bambi}}", and apologizes to "her", claiming to be the hunter who killed her mother.
30	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The way Chris "adapts" to the island compared to Jason Brody is a more realistic look at how some random, normal guy from America would fare on an island full of ruthless pirates. Instead of [[InstantExpert becoming a badass in a very short span of time]], he kills a total of four people, one from behind with a machete and three with panicked fully-automatic spraying from an AK, and later fails to hit anyone with a similar spray. Naturally, he gets captured in almost no time at all and doesn't manage to save any of his friends.
31	* StockScream: The Wilhelm Scream can be heard when the pirates shoot up the boat in Episode 2.
32	* VillainOverride: Vaas takes the reigns as host of the show after he captures Chris.
33	* YourMom: Vaas busts one out when Chris says that [[ItMakesSenseInContext he has a small penis.]]
34	--> '''Vaas:''' That's not what your mother said while I was fucking her in your dad's laundry room, you motherfucker! That's right I fucked your mama you [=McLovin'=] motherfucker!
