Zero Punctuation: April Fools

[Mr Orange]

how can u guys not get the joke

he's a games tester who HATES reading books and everyone will have been waiting to wach a game review so he read a book instead it simple

Yes, he hates books so much that he is writing one...

 

[ayailla]

I was trying to find someone else who said it first so I wouldn't have to bring it up. I've always liked his voice, but oh my I think he needs to read poetry slowly to us more often. Especially poetry that seems to be about oral sex. Hnng.

Thank you!!! Man... I didn't get the angry "are you high?" responses I expected.

 

[Phoenix Arrow]

Wow. It's amazing how people jump to ridiculous conclusions when there's a problem they can't solve
I didn't check the site on April 1st, I had more important things to be doing so I don't know if I missed some sort of joke or not. Don't really care either. Either way, what he's reading is Ode on Melancholy by John Keats, or at least the last few lines of it. Put very simply, it's poem about how pleasure can act as a mask for sorrow, hence the Ode on Melancholy. There's more to it, of course, but that's general jist.
It is not about oral sex.

 

[LACKT]

Yahtzee possessed by ALAN MOORE?

 

[BigDonTheDJ]

Such dark melancholy. Within the his heart and beneath all his rage, lies the soul of a poet

But then they release another jrpg and all shit breaks loose

What you have written here is pure poetry in itself. Quite seriously. and funnily as well of course.

 

[-BloodRush-]

someone please tell me what really happened.

MAKE SENSE YOU...

YOU...

i feel like this guy!

 

[clzark]

I like the people who are calling everyone who doesn't get the joke an idiot, and then when they "explain" the joke, they're completely wrong

OT, I think it would be much funnier if I saw that in the episode of game dogs it appeared in, but since I refuse to watch that show, I guess I'll never know

 

[zHellas]

When I first saw the joke in the Game Dogs episode, I thought it would end up to be a jump-scare...So I kinda skipped through it...And I keep doing it!

 

[Kiriona]

Somehow, as creepy as his voice is, it's kinda sexy and hilarious at the same time. ; Or maybe I'm just a friggin weirdo...

DAMN IT YAHTZEE MAKE SENSE WHY DON'T YA!

 

[Lavi]

This may be old, but...

Fuck I feel nerdy, I know that poem:

Ode to Melancholy by Keats, that emo bastard.

The joke is that the last stanza sounds like a porno

Where was it hidden? i had no idea

wait what? where was this hidden? haha

Part-way through an episode of Game Dogs

That would probably explain why no one found it.

This comment is funnier than the entire video.

Well, it's no wonder no one has seen it then.

 

[Booze Zombie]

It's an April fools, because he's talking slowly and saying stuff that'll go over most of our heads.

Huh, that was surprisingly straight forward...

 

[SimuLord]

I liked this kind of anti-humor better when Andy Kaufman did it with The Great Gatsby. C'mon, Yahtzee. You're not even trying at this point.

If it's in Game Dogs I would call it 'sealed away where all but the bravest sould dare to venture' but hidden works too I guess.

 

[Kanjidude]

This made me lol. Just awsome.

The fact that most people in this thread didn't seem to get it at all made me lol again though. Seriously you people.

 

[Blue22]

So....slow....

 

[Phoenixlight]

Well that was pointless.

 

[Le_Lisra]

lol.

That is all there is to say.

 

[WestMountain]

I were waiting for a screamer in this
