Zero Punctuation: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

hahahaha end bit made me laugh, reminded me of blazing saddles

He seemed to talk slower in this one.

What is your problem? Seriously. It's been two days. Does this already qualify as ancient for your or don't you get that some people don't check every day for replies someone they don't care about might have made on a throwaway comment?

But let's get to the point, because this argument wasted more time already then what it's worth. Again, because you didn't get it the first turn: I'm not defending Yahtzee and I couldn't care less if you openly insulted him. You said you don't like the joke at the end because it was made already in a Southpark episode 8 years ago. Now, if you don't like a joke, fair enough. But you pretty much implied a joke is only funny once - and we're not even talking about Monty Python or Seinfeld ones here which are repeated a bazillion times - it makes your point borderline retarded because it goes against most comedy tropes one can think of.

That was the original point. And yes, it has grown way out of proportion. Granted, I could have phrased that nicer and thus less cynical. I would even say sorry if you would be any less guilty. You know, with your complete "I've neither read or understood what you have written but you definitely are a complete fanboy/troll/pedophile for not agreeing with my infallible perception of reality" attitude.

And if you still think I'm just a raging rabid fanboy below your attention because I was not super nice to a man who obviously deserves it - sure, whatever works for you, buddy. Prejudice makes your life sparkle after all.

Well, when you issue such a silly snap response and resort to personal attacks over a throwaway comment, I'm not sure what kind of response you were expecting from me. Do you live in a placid area where everyone just bows down to each other when they are insulted?

If making a simple point about someone rehashing someone else's work into his own means I "deserve" that abuse then it is no wonder the world is such a violent place. You misunderstood my post, drew out implications that weren't there and spun it out into a tiresome argument, and I concede that maybe I shouldn't have fanned the flames, but when someone openly insults me despite obviously not understanding what I said I don't see why I should just accept it.

tl;dr: Fan Wank

BLOODY LOVED THE REVIEW (why do they keep encouraging 50 cent anyway???)

 

[shawn struck]

I'm always a little suspicious of over-use of the humor defense: "Jokes totally can't be racist or hurtful. Joking is the ultimate defense!"

What if it's also unfunny?

Seriously, either you commented on the wrong video or your just trying to whine at us. Yahtzee's last review - House of the dead: Overkill - was the one with references to Killzone 2. Not this one.

Best. Ending. Ever.

The ending made me laugh so hard I cried.

*sets the "Days-Since-I-Laughed-Till-I-Cried" o-meter back to zero*

 

[ae86gamer]

hilarious ending.

 

[Tarik94]

Ben you did it again! XD

 

[t.tocs]

Haha, classic as always! Classic!

I've watched this ZP 10 times now. Best ZP EVARRRRRRRRR. Way to work politics into a videogame review and say what everyone is thinking. A society where everyone can make fun of everyone else is a truly tolerant society. Amen. I can't wait for next Wednesday.

 

[stimepy]

Love the subliminal messages tossed in (4 or 5 times?) that + the last joke, made me LMFAO Very nice work yahz!

Last week I was watching a youtube video where comedian Stewart Lee basically says exactly the opposite of what Yahtzee is saying here.

And you know what? I think both men are completely right.

The end bit is funny, clever too.

 

[excessum ado]

That last 'Lazy nig' joke has got my vote for the best zero punctuation gag ever.

Hilarious.
