Dead horses.

How is the Posting Out of Order Appreciation thread still going after seven pages? You do realize it's a one-joke premise, and that joke was pretty much exhausted on page one...right?

Same deal with photoshopping naked Patrick Ripoll. Or reposting oldbrucewayne. Or being the 30th consecutive person to make the exact same joke about Stunt Poop's name. ("Hope you don't have a shitty day! A-hyuck!")

Lately this board seems incapable of letting jokes die a natural death. And that's not a new phenomenon--every party has the guy whose idea of cutting-edge comedy is doing Borat and Austin Powers impressions all night long--but seven fucking pages? Really?

Someone explain this to me.

I can't believe you used a period in your thread title.

Complaining about getting Riprolled is sooo last week. Try to keep up with the times, Slater.

Hi, I'm Slater. I don't really post here any more, but I like to pop in every now and then to rip the site, its writers and all the board members.

Another thing that doesn't seem to quit? Bait threads.

Graham, at the time the thread was started the board was acting strange, and posts would be out of order for no apparent reason.

Slater may be cranky, but unfunny is unfunny.

Is letting shit like this bother you better than keeping running jokes going? And do you come to CHUD for any reason other than to bitch and moan? Why do you keep coming back, Slater?

I was all set to gripe about random old-schoolers only showing up to throw out complaints, but then I actually opened and read that thread. Jesus.

If I was cranky, I would have named the main offenders. (Although one has already popped up in this thread, and I'm sure his fellow tards will be along soon.)

I guess you can take this as a bait thread if you really want, but I don't think "Don't make jokes that other people have already made" is that radical of a concept.

Andre, you'll never defeat your inferiority complex by continuing to bitch about the threads that twist your panties into a wad. Slater, way to back pedal.

So now we're all showing our asses. This is what you were looking to achieve, Slater?

I literally have no idea what you're talking about. I don't like jokes that are repeated and are unfunny. I have no idea what I would feel inferior about, or who I would feel inferior to in this scheme of things.

Not sure how getting personal is prerequisite to crankiness, but if that was about me you don't need to spare my feelings.

Anyway, this got me thinking about the hipster thread (which I lost interest in a page or so in, so maybe this came up eventually). One of the things that seems to define them is the desire to stay ahead of the next trend in fashion or music or whatever, and to ditch whatever style they were into when it becomes too accepted. There is a tendency around here to run a joke into the ground like anywhere, but I also sometimes feel like there is a rush to declare a joke dead or over, and I wonder if it comes from a similar place.

There are degrees, obviously. I'd agree Posting-Out-Of-Order has run its course, but the Ripoll picture (horrousing as it was) had been around maybe a day before there was a thread calling for people to give it up. Maybe the internet has just accelerated the pace of things that greatly, but I can't shake the feeling that some people just need to lighten up.

Hmm...maybe my timeline's out of whack, but I remember the picture being up as an album promo for a couple of weeks before people started using it exclusively as an ocular torture device. Either way, semantics.

Or how about making a joke once and then moving on from it instead of pummeling it into submission in every possible iteration? Jokes on these boards are like summer action films - you have to expect endless sequels that are never as good as the original.

Don't know if you mean me, but the Posting-Out-of-Order-Appreciation Thread is one of the few joke threads I've ever posted in.

No, it takes feeling butthurt without being called out.

I agree that many jokes get beat into the ground around here. Whenever I see a thread like "Posting Out Of Order" I think of that scene in The Office (UK version) where David and Gareth come running in to make jokes with the inflatable penis.
BUT, I'm not about to get bent out of shape from it. What do I care if somebody repeats the same "Diva doesn't get Battle Royale and likes ass sex from Tony Soprano" joke all the time? Live and let live.

The joke there is that it's difficult to take someone who self-applies the name "stunt poop" seriously, no matter how bad their life is going. Besides, he only did it once.

More like Slater mentioned the stunt poop thread so I went back to review it.

I get the joke, just that it had already been made. Not that I didn't laugh at both of them, or his follow up. But if you want to complain about making the same joke that someone has already made...

Should occasional screwing around on CHUD's MBs really be micromanaged to this degree?

Andre, I edited my post before I saw yours. This is all silly shit, anyway.

For the record, when it comes to Slater, Andre and Devin - I for one appreciate each of you when you're on your game. Not so much when you're off (articles, blogs, etc). But, more often than not, I look the other way when you're lame. When it comes to the Chewers, though, you guys don't seem to be capable of taking what you need and leaving the rest alone.

Everything's degrees of course, the Diva's Ass thread showed people trying to top each other, and so that didn't run its course right away. But if the reference is the joke, then the joke is on the same level as the jokes in Meet the Spartans. We all agree Meet the Spartans = bad, right? So don't be Meet the Spartans.
post #36 of 153
3/31/08 at 3:26pm
Yeah, but, as far as I'm concerned Diva's Ass references are totally Meet The Spartans. But then, I'd never tell folks to stop because I'm sure others don't appreciate the same Lethal Weapon jokes I repeat in the action movie thread.
Basically what I'm saying is humor is very subjective so it's stupid to try and tell people not to make "unfunny" jokes.

I think this hits the nail on the head. There is a big difference between a self referential in-joke and a prompt that can be the basis for many individual jokes (see Jay & Silent Bob VS. The Aristocrats). Both have their place, one should die sooner

The Diva's Ass thread was where people made photoshop hay with Diva's photo of her ass. People saying Gandolfini BF'd Diva was something that was intimated until it hit critical mass. But the premise of that was that it was an injoke. Did it prolapse? Yes, but that's why it died.

Well, Dead Horse was more thrash metal with a little bit of country thrown in.
