Ra_: blah blah blah.. psychic vampires.. blah blah

You keep on using that term. I do not think it means what you think it means.

From Anton La Vey:
_{NOT ALL VAMPIRES SUCK BLOOD!
"Many people who walk the earth practice the fine art of making others feel responsible and even indebted to them, without cause. Satanism observes these leeches in their true light...
...If you think you may be the victim of such a person, there are a few simple rules which will help you form a decision, Is there a person you often call or visit, even though you really don't want to, because you know you will feel guilty if you don't? Or, do you find yourself constantly doing favors for one who doesn't come forward and ask, but hints? Often the psychic vampire will use reverse psychology, saying "Oh, I couldn't ask you to do that" - and you, in turn, insist upon doing it.
The psychic vampire never demands anything of you - that would be far too presumptuous. They simply let their wishes be known in subtle ways which will prevent them from being considered pests. They "wouldn't think of imposing" and are always content to willingly accept their lot, without the slightest complaint-outwardly! Their sins are not of commission, but of omission. It's what they don't say, not what they do say, that makes you feel you must account to them."}

FarkTV = guaranteed 20k+ hits for SuperDeluxe.

They could shiat in a can and still get you guys to argue over it.

Sounds like good business to me.

IXI Jim IXI: Crouch (n): The region between anus and testicles

I thought that was the taint

Same thing - always handy to have multiple words for these things.

A Britspeak alternative (or perhaps only Scotspeak, not sure) is "barse" - between bollocks and arse.

Ra_: The next asshole that criticises this, let us see something of your creativity too.

Here you go.

The "Study Abroad PSA" is short and sweet, "The Reunion" is one of the most popular, and "The Revolution" has some Fark references. I'm thinking of changing the name of the last one to "Nerd Uprising."

/really just a YouTube video whore.
//In college, still learning the craft and have no budget, so it's not perfect
///Still better than FarkTV, cause it ranks above the test panel in entertainment value.

Although the 'favor askers' that La Vey condemns are indeed psyche sapping
I disregard most of what he has to say.
Ironic that he should brand someone as a Leech,
when his dogma consists of rationalization for his own parasitic philosophy.

I have more respect for the clowns that actually believe in Satan,
than in La Vey



/not including Christians

Ra_: These people could produce great material.
Here you have the opportunity to maybe contribute to that
but some people are too bitter and impotent to do more than dismiss it.

..And my next-door neighbour's cat could suddenly spontaneously combust, but that doesn't mean it's likely to happen.

Firstly, I know that many farkers work on creative projects, either for a living or in their spare time, but most people also like to keep their 'real-life' separate from their 'fark-life,' so you'll not get many takers (aside from photoshops and audio-edits, both of which seem to contain around 400% more WIN than FarkTV / SuckDeluxe).

Secondly, Drew / Fark TV have already admitted that they don't read the comments (which is - somewhat - the point of Fark), so you can safely assume that any biatching herein is for the amusement of the audience, as the Fark TV ppl aren't reading.

Thirdly, some of us had some dim hope that FarkTV would exist to showcase some of the humour and talent found in the Fark community. Instead, it just exists to make us all look bad. Don't expect us to be happy about this.

Fourthly, are you a protege of Sunny Ray?

Why can't everyone just leave Britney alone...?

TakinThePiss: You might as well have said "These Bazooka Joe comics could be Shakespeare if you lazy fukks would help write them."

ROFL! I was gonna somehow insult Ra_'s hilarious quote, but that, my friend, is comedy genius! Kudos to you, sir. And kudos again.

Infinity.

Actually, if opinions are truly paid fair attention in forums, I thought the production values and comic timing were excellent and showed great promise. I only know of the existence of farkTV and not it's regular content, yet found this to be cleverly assembled, well scripted, and obviously created-after-the-fact production, but that's what happens when you direct topical satire with low-resources. You need TIME to do it, and often, to do it well.

My personal experience with film is little more than familiarity, yet did work as a camera operator years ago, and learned that most companies are so overwhelmed by the creation process (filming, costs associated etc.) they have difficulty seeing the disconnected points in plot and timing or completely resign to gaping holes/bad jokes in the storyline altogether.

Rule #1: Limit one liners. Adults don't want to BE the main character anymore, s/he should just be believable. Except Ahhhnold Shwar Schwarz... You know who. Ask anyone. Even for an Austrian, he talks funny.

You guys are on the right track, and please hurry. Even Jon Stewart's skirting the politician's line a little too closely for my tastes. I hope he stays genuine.

Creative comedy is hard to generate past our own filters, much less survive the final touches where certain jokes are omitted according to who's at the helm. Over time, it can dissolve even the best of teams. Whatever process you're using now, is working.

Extra kudos to cast, the worker's deadpan delivery was priceless. (and to anyone willing to 'sculpt' in that chin-strap goatee) ;o) Please tell me it was Henna!(sp)

moops: No, worse. It's about as funny as Steve Urkell.

At least Urkell had that hot-but-now-dead chick with the enormous fun bags.

Thanks for watching. I was first thinking that you were talking about the other girl (the brown-haired girl, not holding the sign), as she is studying to become a professional actress.

I take it the one you were talking about is the black-haired girl saying "Morans untie!" She's also in The Reunion, the Revolution, Hell House, and Just Say No to Vernon Robinson. She also does some voice work in the Study Abroad PSA.

But also watch "I Don't Wanna Do this Work," because it's awesome.

Ra_: That's some quality trolling. The inherent hypocricy is a nice touch.

Yeah, she seems like she's acting.

I know its just another stupid attmept for drew to create actual celebrity from his 'redneck symposium' website.

There was a time when a video even mentioning Spears' crotch would make me kill countless kittens. That time has passed.

Remember when Britney was hittable jailbait and Ra_ was just the creepy guy offering to buy beer for underage kids outside the Circle-K?

See Ra_.. That's just unfunny.

Have you seen a comedy called "Black Books" ?

If you're into British humour, I can honestly say it's worth seeing. If you are instead just interested in, once again, Trolls or restating your opinion, accept that the people who made this put effort into it.

Moreso, one might say, then your reply.

I'm sorry you may be sad at having your own work criticized in some way, a joke failing publicly, whatever. Compared to the WBs laughbox-driven, crap-generator.. FarkTV is off to a good start.

I'd rather see Britney say fark it all and go in to the porn/internet porn business.

Note to self: Start work on greasemonkey script to remove superdeluxe links from fark...

I watched 'I don't wanna do this work'
Bad music satires get old fast.
I think you should actually get the chick a drum and let her keep a real beat
and get better audio on the guitar and vocals.
Get serious and get in tune and you'll have a nice B-52's vibe
You don't have to be perfect
sculpt your songs until you get something catchy.

Expand your creativity into the music.
Music videos are a great canvas for any videotographer.
Creating videos for other artists is a nice option too.

Here are some unsigned artists (pops).
Some of them might benefit from a better vid?

you would have seen about a dozen people accusing me of being a Troll

So I was actually trying to disarm the mob for you

/slap
//et tu Brute?
///you're forgiven

Is it just a coincidence that Fark hasn't had a VideoEdit contest since before FarkTV began? Are Drew and his gang just afraid that the stuff that random Farkers make will put to shame his latest "Let's make fun of easy-target celebrities...again!" video?

Anyone on Fark knows that Ronin, and probably myself can and already have made way funnier shiat than this.

But why do they keep making FarkTV? My guess: Making silly videos is just really fun to do. I'd assume that Drew and his pals just enjoy making them.

And possibly the only thing more fun than making silly videos is getting people to watch them. Fark gives Drew an outlet that assures he will get a few thousand views per video, even if no one actually enjoys them.

In conclusion: Bring back VideoEdits!

/never got to really make a video for a Fark VideoEdit.

I'll be the coont here.

Who, of all posters, actually clicked on that link?

Who, of all clickers, watched the link in its entirety?

Who, without a drool cup and a cork on their fork, actually watched Super Deluxe videos?

Ruprect?

Seriously. I understand selling advertisements which I can easily block. I get plugging your own garbage mashes that you readily do.

Super Deluxe? Fail of the highest order yet you continue to post this crap day after day. No one cares. No one likes it. I know you just want a certain number of clicks so you can sell it at whatever disgusting price you sell ads for.

Dear advertisers:

I will write your company's name on my scrotum and make it bounce as I sing your slogan. Please contact Drew for further information.

/Did I mention Super Deluxe sucks zebra ass?

wpmulligan: At least Urkell had that hot-but-now-dead chick with the enormous fun bags.

Holy shiat, she died? *consults imdb* From stomach cancer?!

/she did have some ginormous fun bags, though

I would love to see your funnier video edit. Seriously

Ra_: I just made that one video/song because the class assignment required that I do both. Believe me, I would have certainly picked a pre-made song if I had the choice. Also, the professor wasn't really concerned with exact audio quality, and I thought the buckets were a good joke.

I've often considered going into music video making, but I'm going to get myself established in the industry and my student loan debts paid off before I try anything real big. But if I get the chance, I might make a few of those artists a video if I get the chance.

/Thanks for the feedback.
//Actually, all of those videos were made as class assignments. Specifically what the assignment was is listed in the video description.

My last point, though why I'm replying to Ra_'s trolls I'm not entirely sure, is:

Anyone who has done anything creative and released it to the wider world knows that harsh criticism is par for the course, and also knows not to take it too seriously. Though you may have invested a large amount of time on your project, to your potential audience you are another demand on their time, competing with an entire world of cultural artifacts, activities, etc. for their precious attention. Their investment is often that they forego something familiar and enjoyable to give your a chance. That's a big responsibility.

Also, there's no better feeling than proving your critics wrong - especially people who tell you something is impossible.

That the folks behind FarkTV should be commended for aiming high in what is, I assume, their first attempt at making and sustaining such a show is not in question. That doesn't mean, however, that they have succeeded.

Who, of all posters, actually clicked on that link? Me.
Who, of all clickers, watched the link in its entirety? Me. Admittedly in the background.
Who, without a drool cup and a cork on their fork, actually watched Super Deluxe videos? Nope. I'm a single-clicker. If it's too deep, I re-evaluate if an unknown is worth chasing.

Who watched any of these and thus is qualified (in opinion) to comment on the material given? Well, that's what being informed is all about.

I enjoy your opinions, but to admit you haven't even seen the material, is akin to admitting you have no interest in the topic at hand. Just regurgitating a negative viewpoint without merit.

whoops...
"forego something familiar and enjoyable to give your a chance."

should read:

hey they get tards to pay them for Fark why not cable eventually.

You can't be afraid of failure.
Winners will build, losers will whine.

Ra_: You can't be afraid of failure.
Winners will build, losers will whine.

And whinners will build losing ideas! Sweet! Someone should make a video demonstrating that.

This whole thing reminds me of being in middle-school and not getting why most guys my age thought farting was funny. It was a fart. It happens. Yet, they continued to fart and laughed hysterically each time.

Even though I was a youngster (onion fastened to belt) I never understood why that was funny. Perhaps because it is not funny?

If FARK's target audience is middle-schoolers, you may want to rethink Foobies. If not, you may want to rethink the childish wet-dreams that lead to disasters like said video.

Ra_: You can't be afraid of failure.

Does whining at losers count?
