Now Psykeout can keep saying the cake is a lie until several months from now when he realizes it isn't funny.

When did studiousness become punishable?

When I started taking notes on what all I don't know; well I actually don't need the notes, but I'd like to have them for fun, see I'm smart enough that I can memorize stuff really fast, and never forget it. It's a really cool thing when you think abo-*BRICK'D for trying to start a pointless rant*

Running into that was kind of the opposite of playing it for the meme. The saturation of the phrase took the important "comedy" bit out of the black comedy.

What are you taking notes on again? Bricks?

Passed hula-hoopers in the school hall and joined in. turns out today was the first day of hula-hoop club. My school's extracurriculum is AMAZING. We're starting a Whose Line is it Anyway club soon; we finally managed to find our Wayne Brady.

Don't want to read the full Monty, subject might change in the meantime.

How does that differ from an improv club?

Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:49 pm

woah. deja vu. didn't you guys have that exact exchange before?

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:53 pm

Probably, but I don't remember his response, if there even was one.

See how good friends we are, guys?

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:59 pm

I wasn't sure if I posted it or not, but after a quick scan I didn't SEE it, so I just figured someone would bonk me if I did. Besides man, HULA-HOOP CLUB. As in, a club for hula-hooping.

Well it came about with me spontaneously springing someone into a game of questions only. It would just be more similar to WLiiA than assorted improv exercises.

funfunfun.

yeah. WLiiA is a bit different from normal improv. normal improv is often a collaborative effort and the exercises they do aren't that funny. Whose line has theadded element of it being a kind of competition.

so I guess a whose line club would eliminate those exercises that are kind of boring.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 5:18 pm

If they're boring, you're doing them wrong.

Mon Oct 10, 2011 5:24 pm

I really meant compared to the ones on Whose Line. they're slightly less entertaining. I'm talking about some of the ones on Improv-A-Ganza.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 5:28 pm

Anytime I think about WLiiA, I always think it should still be on the air. but you gotta know when to just let it go and be happy with the youtube videos. Haven't really seen any Improv-A-Ganza, but I don't want them to ruin my nostalgia.

I hope we can get enough people behind it. We'd need about 5 more people, but I don't think it should be too hard to get people to stay after school to act like idiots.

new Epic Rap Battle of History. they were both pretty bad, but I'd say Columbus beat Kirk.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 7:56 pm

At what point in the history of rap music has anyone EVER thought, "Hey, I bet purposefully bad rhythm will make this sound better!"?

Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:04 pm

never. but have you seen any of William Shatner's spoken word stuff? that's how captain kirk would rap.

I know, but he didn't need to lay it on THAT thick. Rhythm is pretty much one of the only things necessary in rap music; you can't just get rid of it. Now, if they had just given him a jerky rhythm, it would have been entertaining.

The quality of these things is starting to decline.

Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:18 pm

it seems he's putting them out more often now, so he's rushing to get them done.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:39 pm

OH BUT AT WHAT COST

Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:45 pm

that's what I'm saying. he's putting one out like every month, as well as doing other things, so he's letting the quality slip a bit.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:35 pm

I know. I was giving a hammy response because It upsets me.

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:40 pm

Your response made me think of ham which made me think of ham steak, which made me hungry. Now I have a sandwich.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:45 pm

Columbus won so hard. Which is bad, because he was nothing special. I get they were trying to say something, but this is like Christopher Walken on steroids. It just doesn't work.

It's not bad. I haven't seen enough to judge it completely, though.
They actually improved the mechanics of a couple games to make them more engaging (Film, TV, Theatre styles is the most prominent example, in which the acting "host" takes and messes with audience suggestions live in a way somewhat reminiscent of Hollywood Director). They also added a game or two that for whatever reason never made it onto the American roster.

I've never understood the musical theory of "messing up the rhythm and meter sounds good". Maybe I'm a musical plebeian.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 10:03 pm

As much as I am a fanboy for the british nation, I'm scared to watch the UK version. It looks like its cover is begging to be judged poorly. and I the video quality on youtube (when i stumble upon it) is always so poor.

It has a very interesting effect if done in a controlled fashion. It provides a more improvisational, emotional feel, and can also create some unique textures.

Now, when it's overdone, you sound like Captain Kirk and it's a huge mess.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:33 pm

how many epic rap battles of history are there now?
I think the last two I saw were napolean bonaparte vs. napoleandynamite, and the easter bunny vs gehngis kahn.
I agree the quality has been slipping.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:54 pm

There's 14.

A lot of the new ones aren't too good, but Shakespeare vs. Dr. Seuss is amazing.

I don't like rap, it's just talking. Improv rap is cool but only clever people can do that. These days rap lyrics are disgusting.

SPEAKING OF DISGUSTING! A girl in my tutor group was listening in on a convosation me and my friend were having and I mention Freddy Mercury and she turned round and said "FREDDY MERCURY. IS HE THAT RAPPER". I was so close to picking up my chair and DRIVING IT'S LEG THROUGH HER SK-*cough* .-.

That is horrible! How dare she?!

Leafolawl · Post by **Leafolawl** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:18 am

Again Sleet, just amazing.

I'm not huge on rap but it can be good.

Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:21 am

my enjoyment of rap depends on the subject matter (I like geeky rap songs) and if there's good catchy music and actual singing with it (I like Linkin Park)

Leafolawl · Post by **Leafolawl** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:31 am

Really I'm can listen to anything, so expect me to be all over with the artists I like.

I too like Linkin Park, but I also like several rap artists, a few rock bands, Beethoven's symphonic arts, And several other bands and such in wide variation.

yehoshua · Post by **yehoshua** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 9:44 am

I like Linkin Park and Coldplay, Voltiare and the Rasmus... Pretty varied.

I listen to pretty much anything, but I fear that my hipster gland give me bias to anything relatively obscure.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:25 pm

It's your fault I can automatically win the "who has the most obscure album?" contest with anyone ever.
