The joke does evolve. It goes from unreasonability to unnecessary belligerence and then crescendoes when he thinks a cellphone is (or rather, is not) his dad. And then there's his clothing, and the sour look on his face. This I gathered was supposed to be some downtownie wiener type, perhaps (If I can be so bold) an outright hipster. I assumed the facial hair was making fun of Adriaeieeien Brody's stupid-ass gillette commercial with his horrible goatee. The humor was definitely more in the video itself than the song.
There's an art to absurdity in humour. That video just got stupider and stupider as it went along, not more absurd.

Aside from anything else, every single joke was telegraphed way in advance, so that you knew the punchline before it was even finished being set up.

:
The cellphone, and the cake.

This is what happens when you get a reputation for hating everything. The moment you say that you didn't hate something you get a response asking what the fuck is wrong with you for not hating it. WELL FUCK OFF NATE I'M A HUMAN BEING AND I CAN LAUGH AT STUPID SHIT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IF I WANT!
To be fair, I would have said that to absolutely anyone who said they liked that video.

I disagree. I think the first few jokes were telegraphed, and then the cell phone one just came out of nowhere. The final joke with the actors was stupid and long.

Go onto Google and search "zerg rush" it's pretty neat. Just click on all the little O's trying to kill the search results to defend Google.

Bunch o' stuff I found throughout the day.

I watched through this wondering what the catch was, only to find that the "catch" was pretty mundane and not really a catch at all. However, sadly it may be a catch for narrow-minded ignorant idiots. It is a good way of making people think about equal marriage though, so I'm posting it here.


In contrast, here's something silly. These are damned good for gmod movies:






And for those who don't check the blogs, I made this, based on this, even though it's already been done by this guy in the original Half-Life, but not in Source with HD pack:



And kudos to this guy for not hurting the goose:

When I first saw that video, it was accompanied by a statistic stating that showing gay people in loving, monogamous relationships has a far higher success rate of convincing people (I think the study was looking specifically at Americans, but I'm not sure) to support gay marriage than arguments about equal rights. Apparently that's the logic that the makers of that video used.

From my own experience, that research certainly seems to be true. There seems to something in the human psyche in which a large percentage of people support the concept of equal rights as long as it only applies to themselves. I've had arguments with people who try to claim that gay people only want to be able to marry because they don't like that they're not allowed to; as if it's one big game of reverse psychology.

A Half-Life/Valve games forum, and perhaps the official community of the popular Garry's Mod for Half-Life 2.

Anyway, Sheridamn, if you want to post stuff here that you expect others to find funny or enjoy, bear in mind that the sense of humour of most people here is much, much more sophisticated than what you'd normally find in the other places you hang out at. To each their own, and nothing to get bitchy about or give people here more reasons to mock you when you make a scene over this. Hell, most of the stuff I post in this thread is deemed as being crap and unfunny by most here - But it doesn't really matter.

As I said, to each their own. Everyone has their tastes, so just chill and don't expect people to like everything you post.

On topic with random crap to post, here's a vixen failing to check the bird was dead before feeding it to her cubs:


Oh and this is cool. Best watched with a full screen if you have a decent sound system hooked up to your computer like I do.
