incredibly popular internet shit you don't understand at all

I think ILX needs to colloborate on a viral marketing campaign -- one idea, one item, for 2010

that's incredibly hilarious considering that every account I've heard related to working at Disney equates the experience to working in a sweatshop

I have heard the same thing.

I have no idea if this is incredibly popular or not, but I dunno where else to put it:

LOL. I actually saw Leslie Hall live about 5 years ago. It was amazing but mostly in a "What the fuck is going on here?!" kind of way.

seriously, can someone explain why the double rainbow thing is "funny" or "interesting" or anything other than mildly dumb and irritating but not anywhere near the degree requisite for memedom?

If you think there's some degree of quality or funny or... whatever... requisite for memedom, you are WAY behind the curve. Those things have nothing to do with memedom. Rarely even anything to say to it. They're really awkward at parties.

My own theory about double rainbow is that it actually IS pretty damn awesome, but dude can't keep it in check. So it's like, you had me, then you lost your shit. And that's funny.

so fred is basically 14-year-old andy samberg with a chipmunk filter on his voice? idk i was expecting worse.

antoine dodson auto-tune the news vid was just a story on ch4 news

i don't get the star wars prequel commentary shit that has been posted elsewhere on here, mainly b/c i can't get past the dude's voice and his jokes aren't funny

Yeah, but those movies are so bad they deserve to have all the reasons pointed out as much as possible. It's great to see that clip of Sir Alec Guinness wistfully talking about how Anakin was the best star fighter pilot in the galaxy, cunning warrior, and a good friend, then have it cut to them bitching at each other in Ep 3. Or Yoda speaking wisdom about the mystery & power of the force from Empire, intercut with Ep 3 footage of him jumping around w a lightsaber like a mindless videogame character. The side-by-side starting at 5:00 in below really nails how GL turned a modern myth into a lifeless, busy-looking piece of merchandise:

Really agree w you tho, this series could have been 5 parts long w/o all that faux horror movie BS.

I mean Ep 2.

ya but if u wade thru the annoying voice and stuff (which actually kinda gets funny thru repetition) his analysis is pretty effing great

i like how the criticisms arent fanboyish 'u ruined my childhood' stuff at all, or 'jar jar sucks,' they're just like, how does this story make any sense at all

Agreed. Great analysis, lame comedy.

But the comedy breaks up the pacing a bit for people who don't want to sit through a sixty-minute video review of a movie from over a decade ago.

I suspect if you removed the horror bits, not only the pacing would suffer but the analysis would seem dumb, too.
there's a fine line between "no duh" and "on the money" and the horror bits lower your critical bars.
"This is pretty astute analysis for a horror-comedy character"
vs.
"This dude is not saying anything that isn't blatantly obvious to anyone who has seen the movies"

I guess there is one way to find out -- has anyone made a phantom edit of this guy's reviews subtracting the horrorcom stuff?

You would have to re-record the audio.

and kill yourself after

My kids sing this in the car until I cry.
