ME: Hey, my friend, MeechMunchie, said you broke while talking with him. Is that, by any chance, true?
CLEVERBOT: I whistled for a cab and when it came near.
They just don't make them bots like they did

Actually that one is pretty indistuingishable from a lot of people on the internet.

It's always funny to look back at old cartoons and realize the hidden humor in them. Or maybe things back then just didn't have the same meaning as they do today, maybe not in the case of that line from The Powerpuff Girls, but perhaps this famous sketch from Rainbow...

I think the dirty humor is only further enhanced by those awful clothes which today you only probably see being worn at a gay pride event given what we can hear coming from behind the door...


Hate to break it to you but, as Scrabtrapman said, it was never put to air. It was produced as a joke for the company's Christmas party.

More classic Bill Bailey:


Also last time I used cleverbot, it randomly told me it loved me. Normally it ends up contradicting itself and then it starts arguing with me in a childish manner like it did with MeechMunchie, making it impossible to hold a conversation with. It's pretty cool for what it is, but it's got a long, long way to go before it behaves like a human.

EDIT: Oh yeah

Criken is my new replacement for Spike and Barley...I miss those guys a lot.

Now this is impressive, just how the hell does he do it?


Manco 07-03-2012 04:36 PM

Judging from the sound he’s using the pressure applied to the chalk to do it.

Why does HUD indicate he's got another shape of block?

MeechMunchie 07-04-2012 06:21 AM

He's got it on hold i.e. He can bring it out when he needs it.

Manco 07-04-2012 02:33 PM



The music makes it.

Oh right, the vid they uploaded before this is funny as well:

The same thing happened to my sister. It was one of the saddest things in my life.

Go to the video's web page, then click share, then click embed. Copy and paste the code onto your post. If that doesn't work then you may need to change your message editor interface.

No, what was terrifying was having one of the old versions wake you up in the middle of the night from the bottom of your toychest. This one looks pretty cool.

No, the old ones were cute.

This one is pure evil.

They were not cute. Nothing that can be resuscitated by beating it in the head with a recorder is cute.

What are you guys even talking about, man?

(checks page)

Oh.

Well here's a story.

When I was about six or seven years old and easily terrified, my older sister Emily had a birthday (but only one, ever) she recieved a Furby. This was G1 or G2 Furbies, real basic stuff. It made noises and moved its ears and that was about it. One day, I decided it needed a good, proper, shaking the shit out of, so I stole into my sister's room, nicked it off a shelf and plopped my ass down in the living room to figure out how to turn this magnificent robot overlord against my sister. It was hard to convince, so I just kicked it, forgot about it awhile, came back to it when it responded to the movement of me entering the kitchen to get some crackers, and gave it the kind of shaking even a caucasian nanny would be ashamed of.
It just started buzzing.
And the eyes rolled up in the sockets, unblinking.
And the mouth
kept
moving
As if forming words through the terrible screech. It was LOUD, too. I dunno what the maximum decibel output of these things is, but it was kicking out some real sound. It sounded like "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
but it didn't end. I got scared, ran around the house like an idiot holding the thing at arms length, and then deposited it under the blankets on Emily's bed. My Grandma, who was (and is) a MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE devout Catholic, hinted that she thought it was a demon when she found it. The thing worked fine afterwards, we just hit the little reset button, but damn if I didn't avoid animatronic toys like the plague for years to come.

I may have said this before, but my other sister Jillian works in a Comic store/hobby shop and she retains that people who play Magic are usually the most polite friendly people you could imagine, and then they stuff booster packs into their sweaty pockets when nobody thinks they're looking. "They are the worst people in the entire world" were her exact words, I believe.

Apparently it's really hardcore. They have tournaments and constantly have to swap out their cardsets and shit. Sneaky buggers must be trying to curb their seasonal spending.

Sounds terrifying. Like some sort of scary story to tell around the campfire.

I am mildly embarrassed to admit that this had me in tears last night:

At first glance it looked liked an exposed arsehole chasing some guy.

JennyGenesis 07-08-2012 04:05 PM

I remember seeing that advert years ago, I even saw a documentary on it, they were saying how difficult it was to film the shot where the sidecar drives off the top of the car park.

Great advert :)

When I was in San Francisco, Justin, and I were in a bar where we met these two guys that we ended up barhopping with for the rest of the night. The one guy told us that he was in SF for some sort of Dungeons and Dragons card game tournament. I was already kind of drunk, and responded with "So you're not gay. You're just.....gay," before I came close to falling down from laughter. He expressed a desire to punch me in the face, but eventually got over it, and we all had a lot of fun.

I play Magic semi-regularly. and am polite and friendly, but I don't steal booster packs. That's just cuntish. It's a fun game though, and I enjoy playing it with friends. I don't go batshit over it, though. I wouldn't say Magic fans are "the worst people in the world", but I have met some diehard players that just drove me nuts. It depends on the person, really.

Unfortunately that's just an act that dude does to get internet famous. There are a bunch of videos of him on that channel, and one shows him talking normally, while the rest are obviously staged.

Mr. Bungle 07-09-2012 05:49 PM

Yeah, Francis is basically a character made up to poke fun at overly obsessive fans of WoW/Magic/other fantasy stuff. He does a good job in most of them too, he's a pretty funny guy.



Granted it's probably funnier if you've played WoW (I did for about 4 years, so I can understand a lot of where he's coming from) but it's still funny for anyone to see him talk about something so trivial with such (fake) rage. Here he's bascially satirizing the WoW community.
