Can Stupidity Be Brilliant If Not Intended?
So I just learned about this really stupid song. I'm impressed with the production value but the lyrics are terrible. I don't think this was meant as a satire. Can stupidity turn to brilliance if not intended as a parody?
/end thread.
It's so bad it's funny.
Gotta have my bowl. Gotta have cereal.
Plus now she's all kinds of famous because this was on Daniel Tosh's show.
Apparently she also has one called "Saturday" as well. Or some such.
And, no.
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
Originally I thought no. And I so wanted it to be the case...
But then, much as I hate to admit it...
Didn't we work out how gravity works by someone getting smacked on the head by an apple?
The ego wants to take full credit for our works of genius, but that doesn't leave a clear understanding of something like inspiration. Seeing as these things (genius & inspiration) come from beyond the mind, maybe stupidity doesn't turn to brilliance, so much as it was brilliance all along and we were too prideful too see it?
Honestly though, who isn't get pissed off at rich and famous untalented and undeserving brats!
Yes you have to hone your craft, you have to work hard. But to say stupidity can't "turn out" to be brilliance would have to rule out the possibility of it being brilliance all along and me being too wrapped up in my own rules to realise it.
They had to get the production skills from somewhere. Why so undeserving of the term brilliance?
"I hope you realise the story you're telling yourself, because every day you die for it."
Define "production" in this case.

Alas, the apple thing isn't true.
Evidence for unintentional funniness:
- Plan 9 From Out Of Space
- Karl Pilkington
You look like the type of guy / gal, who would like:
Ahm... The drums?
Maybe they got monkeys to make the clip for next to nothing. So the emphasis is on value instead of production...
"I hope you realise the story you're telling yourself, because every day you die for it."
Whether or not it is intentional. This video is a great commentary on society and the value we place on certain things. That is all I meant.
Like cereal. And the back seat.

No.

Also, Mike, you're impressed with the production value? They didn't even bother to rent a fan so their hair is blowing when they are supposed to be cruising on the highway in a convertible.

The drums are programmed. It's very simple.

No. Like raising up this Jersey Shore generation as something actually important.
I'm sick of talking about this.
Sadly true.
Also, rhyming "cereal" with "bowl" may actually be the perfect example of brilliantly stupid v. stupidly brilliant.

That's fine. We'll let it lie. For 4 more days. Because then...
IT'S FRIED EGG FRIED EGG!
Also, can of worms. Don't open one.
And Tuffy, that line is quickly becoming a favorite, considering my love for bowls with cereal in them. I may start using it casually.

The whole thing is made by a production company called Ark Music Factory, geared towards rich, untalented brats and their proud and gullible parents. She didn't make the video herself. I somehow doubt she even wrote the lyrics, stupid as they may be.
There's nothing entertaining or charming about this girl and her "music". I hate it so much and I only heard a 30 second clip. Horrible.
Oh, there's even a pedo rapper, nice.
I just watched the whole thing. Those kids are too young to PAR-DEE, PAR-DEE.
What if it's cookies and juice like in Sunday school?
Yeah!
Yeah!
No, that's donating blood.
... like in Sunday school.
My childhood was weird.

Haha! I thought it was pretty funny that the sessipn rapper was clearly like 45 and these girls are 13. I guess that's why he's on a completely different set.
It's also a metaphor!
Now that is awesome.

Lol, Phil posted this on Jack's FB wall.
I should have probably mentioned that I found that picture on an image board that specializes in gay porn (which shouldn't be the least bit surprising to any of you), the URL of which is now visible for all of Jack and Phil's friends to see.
Small chance they may get message or two from friends of theirs who visited the site expecting to find more funny pictures like that.
Also found this on the same site:
Which reminds me of this:
I miss Wonder Showzen...

It's okay, as long as the gay porn is done by well-treated consenting adults.

Then you really may want to delete that link.
Cause there's an /alt section on that board with some really weird shit in it.
Like stuff with eggplants and dead people. All drawn of course but still...
Some people are really fucked up.
Indeed.

Back on topic, here are a couple of other videos by the same company that made the "Friday" song, all awful in their own special way:
There's a bunch more and I'm pretty sure that black guy is in every one.
wow. all the kids in the middle video look like giant losers. That makes it even worse.
"I'm glad I live in the GPS era. In a different century, I would've set off to visit the other side of the village and wandered off into the mountains and been eaten by a carnivorous plant. Or discovered the Americas."
-LaJessica
Apparently there is a company that you pay that has these pre-written songs that the kids get to perform. And then they make the videos. For thousands of dollars. I watched that middle video, and I couldn't keep track of what the fuck was going on. The lyrics were horrible.
Which is why Friday was such a horrible song. Rebecca Black didn't write that shit.
The black guy is one of the co-owners of the company, and he and his partner apparently write most of the lyrics. Ugh.
That kid looks like a lesbian. I think I know why she wants to take it slow.

I clicked on the first one. Listened about 5 seconds. I'm not going to listen to these anymore...
You gotta watch that middle one, son.
Which is why Friday was such a horrible song. Rebecca Black didn't write that shit.
So the only reason it's bad is because she didn't write the lyrics? Please. If she could write her own lyrics her parents wouldn't be paying thousands of dollars to a production company.
You gotta watch that middle one, son.
Ahh!! It hurrrrts!!
That's what guys want to see. A song abot a girl who DOESN'T want to have sex.
I feel kinda bad...
But she looks that girl from Glee..
EDIT: Oh God! She's a Bieber fan too. My pity is gone.

Haha, that's true. And I certainly don't feel bad for the girl, because she can't sing worth a shit, but I'm subtracting the lyrics from the list of marks against her.
The two girls on either side of her look terrified!
I think this fixes everything.
