Hey! When I'm bored, sometimes I go to some manga website and read the names of obscure shitty manga. It's fun to do when drunk or high or whatever. Here's some I got just from skimming right now (These are all the names of manga):

"Q and A"
"Lovely Everywhere"
"Butter!!!"
"Crows"
"Rain"
"Boy of the Female Wolf"
"Aimer"
"ism/i" (wut?)
"Cosplay Animal"


When there's a fucking manga named cosplay animal you guys have ran out of ideas. These might be translated weird or whatever but those are some stupid ass names. Would you read a manga named "Silver Spoon" or "Date a Live" or fucking "ism/i"? And someone named their manga: "Again!!" I know people sometimes give stupid names to their band or movie or whatever but literally 60% of manga titles are this retarded. Also, fuck final fantasy 13. This game is about four times longer than necessary and I hate all of the characters.

Rage face stuff isn't funny just fyi. And I talk about the simpsons a little.

So there's a website, nohomers.net, it's a semi-popular simpsons message board site. It's actually been mentioned on several of the commentaries for the simpsons, a few of the showrunners have done Q&A's and it's vaguely references in some season 14 episode I think. So, I'm not a forum member but I check it once and a while because there's some genuinely funny stuff over there and you get a few intelligent conversations. I wouldn't consider myself a huge simpsons nerd but I'm a big fan of the 4-9 seasons, I've watched each episode in that range around 30 times (And another 5 times with the commentaries). 

If you're familiar with the nerdy side of the show, you might be expecting me to talk a little bit about how everyone hates seasons 11 and on, how the principle and the pauper was dumb or how Mike Scully is a retard. In short, the show has gotten worse, season 12 was kind of a low point, you get the occasional good episode but a lot of jokes are, like, stupid and a lot of a great characters aren't as funny. A lot of people who bitch about the show are kind of retarded though. I'm probably going to talk about that shit at some point but right now, this forum is just the backdrop for an important internet thing I think worth talking about.

So there's a topic at one of the main boards: "post the weirdest fanart you can find". Three posts in, you get dropped with this little gem:

That's just beautiful. You might think I'm being sarcastic, but I love this shit. This is the perfect thing if you're really depressed and just need something really stupid and strange to laugh at. I read the rest of the topic and get taken on a mad journey through the wackiest of artists that the Simpsons has thankfully touched at some point. There's some stupid shit that isn't really funny, there's some gay animeish picture of bart and sideshow bob, people keep posting that ultra-realistic simpsons thing over and over, but overall there's a ton of hilariously strange creativity on display here. And then I see this:

Some guy posts simpsons characters as those rage face things. I get the joke. Well, bart is just the megusta guy because it's funny to stick that megusta shit everywhere but I get that Ralph is pathetic and lonely in that one episode so make him the "forever alone" thing. I see these and it's a little sad, in a "I'm sick of this rage face megusta bullshit everywhere on the internet" I go through the rest of the thread, I still laugh my ass off at this masterpiece:
But seeing that bullshit smeared to yet another corner of the internet for no reason made me wonder: "All those meme rage face fuuuuuuu lonely forever things, aren't they kind of the same?" It's all pictures of people with exaggerated faces, drawn by like the same fucking guy. I get that a person just casually reading this blog who doesn't spend a lot of time on the internet might think I'm stupid for dismissing the lonely forever ralph as humor but laughing at an off-model clay simpsons family, but it's all about context. That lonely forever rage face trollolo stuff has been passed around the internet nonstop for like the last five years. It's just not funny anymore, like after the ninth time you see someone post a slightly different rage comic on facebook it's dead from overuse. If people posted a million picture of off-model clay simpsons doing silly things I would probably hate that shit too.

This is just a little example, so I think it's necessary to give an in-depth demonstration on why that fuuuuuuuu lonely forever troll comic rage bullshit is retarded and isn't funny. I went on facebook while writing this and I found this picture linked by someone: 

Pretty funny, huh? You'll notice that this isn't a typical rage comic troll face thing, it's actually better/more creative I guess and the guy at the end isn't one of the more famous exaggerated figures. It's in the rage comic format though, there's a simple stupid set-up, a silly wacky payoff and it ends with a person with a funny face saying something that's SO FUNNY IF YOU READ IT OUT LOUD IN A DRAMATIC VOICE!! It's stupid, I hate this shit so much. Do I even have to dissect this fuck heap and explain to you why this is terrible in every way possible? People didn't post this shit on my facebook wall because it's funny. I have a bunch of friends on that website from the music program at WSU, so a music student shared this because it's about musical instruments I guess.

I don't understand why they used the bamboo background for the forth panel though, all the rest of the text is on a white background. It just helps make this look like an even more sloppy, lazy, shitty mess. The blue text is weird too. The red text at the end is supposed to be dramatic I guess, but is blue supposed to like set you up for the big punchline? I guess, I dunno.

I was really wondering what the comments would be like. It's just a bunch of people saying that "brass is bettr" or "flutre rules lol :P!!" and shit like that. Nobody is talking about the joke or the pictures or the terrible choice of a bamboo background. I see that the image in question was generated by something on facebook called" Memes for band kids" I learned a long time ago that the word meme has devolved from an interesting social trend on obscure image-boards to a picture with letters in front of it that people post on facebook long ago, so it really doesn't surprise me that such stupid shit can exist. There are gems like these:
Hey it's that mordor lord of the rings joke lol
HAHA  i can relate to that because i fuxed up a solo during concert :( my braing was like trololll
I dunnno this 1 because i wasnt in pit but its still funny i guess

And the timeline photo thing is like an anime girl with a tuba. Because you gotta have anime stuff everywhere because it's cool. I dunno. I hate this shit and I hate troll faces and these pictures with words are usually not funny. When something is just utterly and absolutely uncreative I have a hard time laughing at it. I guess you're supposed to laugh at some of those meme things because they're so stupid? Maybe? I dunno. I didn't laugh at any of them. That terrible clay simpson family is hilarious though because it looks like someone genuinely put a lot of work into it.

I might post about this stuff more because it's all over the internet and it's really stupid. If I didn't want to see this stuff anymore I would have to block about half of the people on facebook and I would have to stop going to just about every website out there. Everybody out there loves this shit. Maybe you do too or you just spent ten minutes listening to me bitch about something you're just completely numb to. One last thought, if you aren't convinced that this rage trolo reddit meme face fuuuu megusta bullshit isn't terrible, please watch this:

I couldn't make it through eleven seconds. Let's look at some comments!
Well,  I enjoyed EpicGuyJake's well-constructed compliment and vampirehunter93 seems to like this video as well. Those guys seem like real winners. Maybe I'm just a stupid cynical asshole and I need to be more like McHaxorPL. I just don't know. I also enjoyed TheFirenze114's random funny xdxdolol post. Those are always funny! :)

Bye guys. I think I'm going to watch some random season 5 episodes of the simpsons to try and redevelop my sense of humor. Wish me luck!

Hey, I decided to start a blog to write about different things I think are worth giving my opinion on. Websites, video games, music all that nonsense. I'll try to be entertaining but I have sort of a strange groups of interest areas so I wouldn't recommend reading unless you happen to share most of my interests or you're very open-minded to hearing an idiot ramble on about things you have little interest in. A few things I might write about in the future: People's behavior on facebook, shitty cracked.com articles, shitty yahoo.com articles, achievement grinding in xbox games, circle jerking communities on youtube (Metaphorically), things I hate about popular rock radio stations, certain videos games that are fun and others that aren't and why, bitching about my computer problems, dissection of music I really like maybe, ect. If any of that stuff interests you, I'll probably write about it all at some points so stay tuned.

Who am I? I'm some guy from Minnesota going to school to be a musician. It's going to probably end with me being 37 and finally becoming good enough to play three shows with an obscure band that once opened for the Scorpions or something pathetic like that. Until then, I can live in my diluted world, practicing guitar a lot and watching people play video games fast and maybe watching somebody make fun of a bad anime movie or something. I'm not sure how good of a writer I am. I think it's readable, I hope it's funny and maybe informative. I'll also try to post funny pictures and stuff, not like stupid rage comic troll face bullshit but genuinely funny stuff.

Now you know a little bit of what to expect. Stay tuned internet!
