Sensible Erection | Trololo no more forever

Monday, 4 June 2012

quote [ Eduard Khil was a beloved Soviet crooner who only won sudden international stardom two years ago when a 1976 video of him singing "trololo" instead of the song's censored words became a global Internet hit. Khil, best known as Mr. Trololo, died Monday at age 77. ]

People find this funny?

I mostly watch family guy when... Well... No. I endure it a few seconds before I turn the tv over to another channel to provide other background noise.

YES.

I downloaded a torrent of the entire thing, years ago. I'd seen a few clips on the internet and heard it was as good as the Simpsons. A baby who is an evil genius seemed an incredibly rich vein of humour to mine. I planned to watch the whole thing back-to-back, but gave up after just one episode.

Since then, I've never seen a second of Family Guy that I didn't regret.

I did see one clip that I liked, but it turned out the bit I liked was the result of Fox corporate meddling. Consequently I believe that Family Guy is the only product whose artistic integrity is actually improved when the Suits overrule the creator.

No, not people, just The Internet.

The show is very cheap to produce

Yes people find this funny.

Now I'm going to leave there here for you to reply so you can tell me why it isn't funny and I should feel bad for enjoying it. You can also go on about how you don't have a television anymore and it is just the best thing.

Maybe you could also tell all of us how you cut red meat out of your diet and your hot yoga classes are the best decision you ever made.

No deal. It's your job to explain why it is funny. Not somebody else's to explain why it isn't.

The same applies when evangelical Christians demand that I prove that Christianity isn't the one true belief.

Jaxon said @ 2:09am GMT on 6th Jun
The tone of my comment went entirely over your head.

And your analogy is poor.

azazel said @ 9:45am GMT on 6th Jun
The tone of your comment is quite hostile, or maybe defensive. A bit of both, I guess.

Naruki said @ 2:51am GMT on 6th Jun
Sorry, cb, but you miffed this one.

azazel made the implied claim that the show is not funny. Given that it is very successful, it clearly is considered funny by many people and thus her (his?) claim is extraordinary.

Ergo, the burden of proof is on azazel to show it is not funny.

Jaxon can prove it is funny (to him) by announcing "I find it funny". That's it, job done. He wouldn't need to prove it is funny to others, since the implication is that it simply is not funny at all, and any contrary evidence is sufficient.

But Jaxon doesn't have to do even that much, since he did not make the extraordinary claim.

azazel said @ 9:46am GMT on 6th Jun
I don't need to prove anything, since my comment was just an expressing of surprise. The only thing you can actually take away from my comment is that I don't find it funny and don't understand why others would.

And I'm a he, for what it's worth.

Naruki said @ 2:13am GMT on 7th Jun
I know, you would only have to prove it if you wanted it to be accepted as factual. I only mentioned it because cb361 was getting the burden of proof mixed up.

And thanks for the gender info: I will have to shuffle you around to a different position in my fantasies.

I take it as a terrible sign of my getting old that the Mr. Trololo meme has, until today, entirely slipped under my radar.

KropperPrime said @ 1:32am GMT on 5th Jun
What do you do on the internet?

I think I even saw Trololo porn at some point...

He gave the world so much meme. May his name live on for another day or two.
