I think I already saw something like that on the internet – but it was two times shorter and two times funnier. but what the hell, this one is funny too
oh and that wasn’t original either btw. They could have easily come up with this. it’s not too hard a concept. I’m sure a thousand+ people have though of it.
There was never much originality to begin with… now it’s just easier for people to prove that with 6 billion people in the world, your brilliant idea has probably happened once or twice.
Actually, the quip on bash.org was also stolen. This original concept was from a group of performers called the Neo-Futurists doing a show called “Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind.” You can hear the performance on an episode of “This American Life,” which originally aired in 2003.
Actually, Whitley is correct. It says “You’re weird status comment”. I believe what he/she is trying to say is “I’m responding with a status comment that says ‘you’re weird’”. In that case, “you are weird” would be absolutely correct.
To be fair, though, it is a little confusing until you read further and realize that the following comments (“subtle hint at irritation reply” and “get over it comeback”, etc.) follow the same pattern.
This is amazing!!!
Beautiful.

random and completely irrelevant Chuck Norris fact.
Facebook comments a la “Academy Award Winning Movie” trailer. (Check it out.)
I was scanning the comments to see if someone had posted that link; it’s EXACTLY what this reminded me of! Great stuff
They stole this routine from the quote on bash.org
http://bash.org/?top
Maybe, but theirs is better
oh and that wasn’t original either btw. They could have easily come up with this. it’s not too hard a concept. I’m sure a thousand+ people have though of it.
This reminds me of a great video, using this same idea for a movie trailer.
For a second I thought I was on bash.org. Then I remembered originality died when the internet was born.

HK-47 (one of BioWare’s earlier creations) did it first.

Sweetness.
Comment.
Whitley cannot spell. You’re would be You are. “You are status report.” This confused me momentarily.
Actually, Whitley is correct. It says “You’re weird status comment”. I believe what he/she is trying to say is “I’m responding with a status comment that says ‘you’re weird’”. In that case, “you are weird” would be absolutely correct.
To be fair, though, it is a little confusing until you read further and realize that the following comments (“subtle hint at irritation reply” and “get over it comeback”, etc.) follow the same pattern.
Spam comment from someone promoting some other crappy website, which has nothing to do with the current theme.
Pathetic irrelevant ignorant comment accusing original post of homosexuality.
This sounds so much like the comments for Title Of The Song.
What the hell is bash.org? No one has ever heard of that website.
This is funny. The routine is as old as time, but it doesn’t make it any less enjoyable.
YOU are ‘retardedly unfunny’.

totally random comment in vague attempt to change subject but ultimately knowing that will be nothing more than a mere attempt and become an epic fail
