2. STAR TREK

Second? Shenanigans.

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: No Dr. Who?
Twilight?

List fails.

Doctor Who.

And notice there's no Star Wars, Buffy, Red Dwarf, or Kevin Smith on that list either.

Abstruse: Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: No Dr. Who?
Twilight?

List fails.

Doctor Who.

And notice there's no Star Wars, Buffy, Red Dwarf, or Kevin Smith on that list either.

I was going to say that Doctor Who wasn't nerdy enough to go on that list, but then you corrected him from "Dr Who" to "Doctor Who" and there went that argument.

Kublai Khan: I was going to say that Doctor Who wasn't nerdy enough to go on that list, but then you corrected him from "Dr Who" to "Doctor Who" and there went that argument.

I swear that was intentional and I was worried no one would get it. Only reason Doctor Who wouldn't be on the list is if it were restricted to American franchises only and Doctor Who is considered too cult. That's why no mention of BSG and Firefly.

ARRRRGH!!!! IVE BEEN WAMPLERED

Really? Do these guys know Red Dwarf exists?

HaH! Can't Wampler me, examiner link = no clicky clicky

What the hell is a Twilight or Avatar?

BitterTeacher: Really? Do these guys know Red Dwarf exists?

If they put Twilight at number one, probably not.

/maximum fail list is maximum fail

Seriously those are like the biggest, most well-known, most mainstream fantasy franchises of all time! That's like saying Will Smith is some obscure art-cinema actor, or that watching football and listening to Katy Perry is some little niche thing only hipsters do.

They must have changed the meaning of nerdy while I was asleep.

You know what adjective doesn't describe examiner links? "Glorious." It does, however, describe one of Scott Wampler's top five favorite kinds of holes.

No chance in hell I will ever click an Examiner/wampler link again.

Kublai Khan: 2. STAR TREK

Second? Shenanigans.

Behind Twilight, even. The list is automatically bullshiat for that alone.

The girls that don't watch Twilight are the nerds.

Twilight is nerdy now? Does the writer think that "nerdy" is a synonym for "retarded" or something?

Did Wampler actually write something of his own? This isn't just a link to someone else's work?

Is that why there haven't been any links in a few days, too busy actually writing something?

Wow, no Eureka, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Monty Python, or Buffy. Seriously fail list. And he tried to explain Avatar, a single movie as both nerdy and a franchise? I could shiat a better nerd list than that.

Planet of the Apes.

Shostie: Just when you thought the long nightmare was over...

Not 20 minutes ago I was checking to see how long it had been since a steaming pile of Wampler got dropped in the Showbiz tab and thought to myself that maybe someone got told to finally cut that shiat out.

I forgot one thing though:

The Voice of Doom: Sure, don't mention me. Why should you care, anyway?
Don't bother remembering me.
I'll just sit in this corner and rust for an eternity or two.

I just started the third book. I cant put the series down.

Nerds should be offended that twilight scores higher than Star Trek...

Who else thinks that Avatar 2 should start with the corporations orbitally bombarding the planet?

Gunny Highway: The Voice of Doom: Sure, don't mention me. Why should you care, anyway?
Don't bother remembering me.
I'll just sit in this corner and rust for an eternity or two.

I just started the third book. I cant put the series down.

It went from hilarious to sad by the end of the series. I wish I had stopped at 3.

Wow. I'm not sure this image has ever been more appropriate.



/there are no cows in space

siphra: Who else thinks that Avatar 2 should start with the corporations orbitally bombarding the planet?

Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I'd have to go with Monty Python. Different nerds have different tastes when it comes to fantasy or sci-fi, but I've never met a one who wasn't more than happy to quote entire routines at the merest suggestion.

I've always thought Star Wars geeks were the nerdiest if only for the Nerdom-to-Source-Material ratio. Hell, Star Trek at least had a TV series (and eventually movies and more series) to justify their nerdom, Star Wars fans had 3 movies.

Written by a 13 year old girl, helped by her 14 year old boyfriend.

/Ironically, I'm not that far off.

FeedTheCollapse: I've always thought Star Wars geeks were the nerdiest if only for the Nerdom-to-Source-Material ratio. Hell, Star Trek at least had a TV series (and eventually movies and more series) to justify their nerdom, Star Wars fans had 3 movies.

And 300,000+ pages of text in various novels, not counting fanfiction.

I clicked the link because I find Scott Wampler's writing and humor refreshing. Many of you here could learn a thing or two from him. GO WAMP!

1) Star Wars
2) Star Trek
3) Lord of the Rings
4) Harry Potter
5) every other sci fi franchise

Star Trek had that too. I don't count any of the published stuff as anything more than glorified fan fiction.

djkutch: I think Wampler is that TMLO guy.

No. This list didn't include Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo

chewielouie, that entry looks incomplete.
surely there are other definitions, hmm? amirightguys?
