Off Topic / Senior Issue Class Paper, Starring Some English Bloke
« on: May 10, 2011, 12:54:26 PM »
So I'm in charge of this collage for the front cover of our school paper (or rather magazine). So anyway, I- wait, what is-?
No, that isn't...
Ephi, what the hell are you doing there.
You are English and do not even go to this school.
You are drunk.

Off Topic / Re: "Weird Al" Yankovic - Perform This Way
« on: May 05, 2011, 07:17:01 PM »Don't you lecture me on "Weird Al" Yankovic. I have every single album by him, including his Peter and the Wolf. I have his movie and TV series on DVD. I loved him...
Again, my only point is... so many people hate on that music for good reason... To the point, I'm tired of hearing ANY of it... Why doesn't he see that? Why isn't he smart?
Wasn't bringing that up, not saying you aren't rightfully a Weird Al fanboy or what have you.
What I was saying, is that he is exactly what you accused him not to be. He's smart. I hate to break it to you bud, but these pop songs, note the word "pop" in there, are popular. He made the right choice in parodying them. Or in this case, as I wrote:
covering it in a polka medley, which is genius funny because polka is the least known and least popular form of music, so having him play all of these "number ones" on an accordion is great.
Sorry bud, business is business. Won't sell records if he does songs people don't know of. Not to mention it's all stuff anyway, so don't try to argue me there are any more deserving songs.
You just don't seem to want to get that making fun of music can still be done while playing said music. He did it then, he does it now. Deal with it.

So his parodies are suddenly stuff because the subject is stuff?
That's like saying...
No I mean, I don't even need to make up an brown townogy for this. This is comedy by definition. Making fun of something that people like or know about or is popular because that way people would get it.
Alright, for stuffs and giggles, here's an example any way. That's like saying that Frank Caliendo (or pretty much anyone who does impression comedy) is a stupid forget because he's imitating George Bush who is a stupid forget. It doesn't work like that.
I'm sorry that the top 40 songs of today are all stuff and you don't like them, I don't like them either. But the fact of the matter is, all of his (Weird Al's) famous songs are parodies of songs that at their time were top 40 hits. He parodies music people know.
Look, I've thought modern music has been stuff since the day I started listening to the radio. Dunno why, tastes I guess. I like stuff that my parents liked. Hell I like stuff my grandparents liked. The fact is though, a parody can make the song that much funnier. Even just covering it in a polka medley, which is genius funny because polka is the least known and least popular form of music, so having him play all of these "number ones" on an accordion is great.
Long story short, if you're some kind of hipster who thinks Weird Al should only parody songs of some obscure band that's only had 300 hits on Myspace, good luck with that; the fact is no one would listen to him because no one would get the joke. I think all music past the year 1990 is pure and simple donkey dung with a few exceptions, but you didn't see me getting all butthurt when he parodied... well... pretty much everything after said date.

I think comedy and all forms of media should be separated IMO

Packer got a new mic guise.
Obi-Wan voice. Yaaayy.
Taboo is just like me when it comes to voices. He'll say he does it, then forget lol. Darkstar knows this about me only too well.
Anyway. This is still going well. Just hit another one of our bumps as usual.

You did it wrong. There once was a richard from richard, who dreamed he was eating his richard. He woke with a richard, in the middle of the richard, to find that his richard had come true.

Name: Gordon Freeman
Race: Human,
Occupation: Theoretical Physicist...
lololol
But seriously, looks like a neat roleplay game. I don' particularly want to take part myself, but I want to see someone try and be Gordon Freeman. Be like a prequel or something.
