[OT] If you though "lightning bolt!" was funny...

[RodneyThompson]

Yeah, it's real funny to laugh at a kid that has now been publicly humiliated in front of millions of people before even hitting puberty. Aside from all the fat jokes he probably gets at school, now because of his goofing around with a camera the entire internet is making fun of him.

I hope everyone remembers what it was like to be a kid and pretend play, and how it felt when someone made fun of you.

Yeah, yeah I do... that's why this is so hilarious. Besides, the kid looks like he's on some kind of stage or something or he's made some sort of backdrop... He may very well have done it for laughs. Who knows? Look, either way, it's funny. Pretty damn funny. The kid could win the big prize on the America's Funniest Home Videos show.

And Hell, the chubby lil bastard swing that stick around better than I could. Unless I practiced. A lot.

I LOVED IT

Oh I totally loved it.

First of all- it wasn't *that* embarrassing. I would have shrugged it off in High school because I was a drama-dork and we were always doing stupid stuff like that and even making little movies with my friend Mike's little video camera and a cassette 4-track. And I in fact do have embarrassing video-movies we made while I was in high school, one of which is available on the internet from the guy who originally recorded it.

Nah, I won't tell you where. hehe.


I liked it. I think I liked it too much. The part at the end in the remix is actually really sweet.

I salute you, Jedi kid!

 

[Nyarlathotep]

Boy they're much meaner to that kid over at Tribalwar

 

[Alzrius]

I agree with Peter. I was damn self-conscious and got made fun of in high school, but this was the sort of thing I would have just let roll off my back. It was funny, and this seems like the sort of thing that you can easily laugh at yourself about. I know I would if it was me in there.

Love the remastered version!

I think it is an intimidation video. The kid was tired of getting picked on, so he made a video showing how he would go crazy on their ass if they did not stop the teasing. I think it was a good idea, I was laughing so hard, I could not have teased him if I wanted.

 

[Tsyr]

I dunno. When I was that age, I would have been mortified if something like that got out with me in it.

Now, at the point in my life I am in now, I do stuff like that for laughs and humiliate myself publicly for fun*...

So I don't know where to side

*I will, at random intervals, show up at college dressed in either: A) Full mideval/renfest garb, B) One of my assorted costumes (Jedi, Star Trek Uniform, a couple anime outfits), or C) A kendo outfit.

Just for the heck of it.

The only thing that gets any comments anymore is the kilt, which of course prompts the usual "Nice skirt, Dave" jokes...

Ok, the Kendo outfit got me a "Nice dress, Dave", but i've only worn it once.

 

[Gothmog]

Wow- a classic in its own time. Gotta admire the kid though, both for filming it, and for not hitting himself in the head with the pole. I would have clocked myself. I do prefer the remix though- it actually kinda makes him look cool.

Long live Darth Girth!

 

[ergeheilalt]

Darth Girth

oh my ...

Well, now I am burning the copies I have of my hamlet video as we speak. If your going to act like a uber dork ... do it with out the camera. Nice staff swinging though.

LOL Gothmog ... Darth Girth he is

 

[Arcane Runes Press]

Ooooohhhhhhhh my God.


The original is a bit.... sad, I think, with so many cringe moments.

But the remastered one is hilarious, and it takes his best bits. I dunno, somehow the special effects give him a bit of... dignity. The slow-mo of the cape trip is brilliant.

"Darth Girth" - that's a good one too.
