Zero Punctuation: April Fools

[Joshua Dowland]

Aren't... aren't April Fool's Jokes supposed to be funny? Not uncomfortably forced self-parody? God it's like watching someone masturbate.

Wow -- if Yahtzee's intention was to make April Fools of most of the posters on this thread, he certainly succeeded. How about Google Is Your Friend, and that was an excerpt from 'Ode on Melancholy' by Keats? You know, that dead English poet? They made a crappy movie about his love life recently?

I like to imagine Yahtzee used this opportunity to try and introduce you to something other than games. And the results are in: 80% of you are incapable of handling it. Great.

So do you have a point to your post other than calling everyone here tossers? Because if you don't that's rather flamebait-ish and unhelpful.

Failing to quote the rest of my post, where I talk about what the poem's about, seems to me to qualify more as 'flame-bait'. My post was to educate you.

Also, please note that I didn't call anyone a tosser. So I guess you selectively quoted me and then also just made stuff up.

ZING! Hahahahah Love these forums.

for those of you who dont get this it was in gamedogs episode 11

 

[Mantonio]

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.

Quite. I can't be the only one who wants that show destroyed, am I?

And I mean DESTROYED, as in 'taken down, all relevant data wiped and all physical materials relating to it burned'

You say that like it's a bad thing ;D

But seriously, I lol'd at the whole concept of the video, and also at how many people are like "DUDE WHO SPEAKS FAST AND ABOUT FUNNY THINGS IS SUDDENLY SPEAKING REALLY SLOWLY AND ABOUT NOT VERY FUNNY THINGS IN RELATION TO APRIL'S FOOLS DAY I DO NOT GET IT???"

:V

 

[Lou]

That was somewhat.. Hypnotizing..

 

[BlackFrost]

I found it a little weird, especially during Game Dogs that it was the first time I saw it.

So...The Joke Is Yahtzee Using Tons Of Punctuation
And Uploading The Video At Midnight
Really...WTF Was Going On

 

[Mukil]

Lol, I didnt get the joke till I saw the game dogs episode.
There's this dog that speaks in Ye Olde English and then starts speaking in a normal american accent stating that he is tired of always being in character. Then we cut to Yahtzee speaking slowly (trying to say he speaks slowly in reality, but his character speaks v fast).

 

[LiquidGrape]

Anyone who references John Keats is a-okay in my book.
Good show, Yahtzee. Good show.

 

[_Cake_]

I guess I'm stupid cause I didn't get it.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

While I recognise the source, I didn't find it funny. If anything, I was horrified by his tone. There are some thing certain people just shouldn't do.

 

[Phantomxd]

Lol consider your self trolled interweb's

 

[THGhost]

I don't get it. Yahtzee just wasted 59 seconds of my life and I want them back.

I don't get it. Yahtzee just wasted 59 seconds of my life and I want them back.

Watching the newest episode of Game Dogs will help, or reading the other posts on this topic.

 

[the fake]

the joke was it was him talking really slooooooooowly where as he normally talks incredibly fast
at least that's what i believe

 

[Soxafloppin]

I enjoyed that, im not sure why.

I just did.

I think the main joke is that Yahtzee was talking slowly and completly deadpan.

A better April fools might have been a positive review of an obviously bad game, like a movie tie in. However doubt Yahtzee was willing to go that low for a bad joke.

Exactly what I was thinking
