How to make a hilarious “Downfall” parody, in two steps.
Step One: Make one like this.
Step Two: Don’t make one like this.
Naturally, the second video here went over like gangbusters on the Men’s Rights subreddit. One critic declared:
Another had this suggestion:
I dunno. “Your_Fun_Counselor” doesn’t really strike me as being very much fun at all.
hellkell, I don’t think you have to limit his market ignorance to commodities.
Joe will be amazed to discover that the nothing you earn by commodities training can in fact be exchanged for large houses, fancy vacations, etc.
And sometimes you just end up with 28,000 tons of coal.
Pecunium, no, that was just tonight’s glaring example of Shit Joe Knows Jack About.
Good to know Joe’s buttons are as easy to push as ever.
So, Joe, have you reconciled yourself to the fact that literally every person in the world who complains about Jewish banker conspiracies and violent Muslim immigrants is a huge racist?
I don’t know why Joe’s so obsessed with gold bullion. I’ve got all my money tied up in chicken bullion. When the world goes to hell I’ll be able to make a LOT of soup.
The self importance of these MGTOWs makes me laugh. Their only motivation is to exact revenge upon the society that has hurt their feelings, by “disappearing”. They won’t work, spend money, date or marry women, and we are supposed to feel their absence SO ACUTELY that we (women? feminists? politicians?) crawl on our knees begging them to rejoin society? Ha ha ha. I have a feeling these guys wouldn’t be contributing much to society anyway. But I have to admit, MGTOW is a great way to make laziness appear as a “political” choice.
Better Than Bullion or the Wyler’s cubes? I prefer the former, but it’s not as stable as the cubes. 😉
Nancy Drew and the Careening Cock Carousel. LOL
The above comment from Rage was me, btw.
I have all of my money in Cat Food Stocks. Once the hypergamy bubble bursts, I’ll be swimming in sweet spinster cash. 😀

Is this a Hardy Boys crossover fic now?
hellkell: I use homemade stock, reduced to the level of portable soup. Keeps for about five years, in good storage. That’s the emergency supply. The rest is frozen at a minor reduction.
@Joe: If undocumented migrants are ‘stealing’ all our jobs because they’re being exploited by the big bad bosses AND you truly care about them, it seems to me the proper response is to organize workers of all industries into one of them newfangled ‘union’ things and to have workers work together to raise the migrants’ pay and benefits to an acceptable standard, so that they don’t end up undercutting all of us ‘real Americans’ on the job market.
You know, like the IWW (Wobblies) did.
But then that would involve actually working on the problem at the source rather than using it as a poor excuse to bash on those with less power while convincing yourself you’re speaking truth to power.
It would also involve recognizing that any human being is as deserving of a job as you are.
@BlackBloc
And stopping the whole deportation thing, so workers don’t have to be afraid to report under payed and/or unsafe working conditions.
I do not get to say who is a fan of Doctor Who.

But Christ in the time stream, Joe, you don’t get to appropriate the I wear X now, X are cool just so you can feel smug despite losing an Internet argument.
Oh, and I notice Joe was all cool with selling his widow’s mite of gold for fiat money, which he then exchanged for goods and/or services.
Guess he’s not all that upset with the notion of fiat money.
The First Joe is boring. All of his posts about gold makes him sound like Glenn Beck.
This is precious:
Well, let’s consult the Google. http://goldprice.org/30-year-gold-price-history.html. The last time that gold doubled in price relative to the pound over a six year period was in the late 1970s. And this price increase was driven by the libertarian panic of Britain moving to a fiat system.
So, either you’re lying, or your last salaried job ended in 1974, and then you made a fuckton of money by selling your gold to other panicky libertarians. In other words, you owe your “boat” to the switch to fiat money and the associated idiocy of other libertarians.
And oh no! Some people you know invest in gold and are doing alright! How will my theory survive this! It’s not like people have ever done well invested in actually useful things instead of shiny metal! Poor Warren Buffet, living in poverty with all that shiny metal.
Kind of interestingly, if you had kept that gold, then, accounting for inflation, it would have depreciated roughly 50% from then to now. Even with Glenn Beck libertarians buying all the shiny metal that big banks can put in front of them.

@Joe
Also, kind of hilarious how you’re quoting Fight Club. Have you ever noticed how that movie works better as a parody of angry young men than as a manifesto?
I mean, it starts with the dude being so upset at having to conform to all these societal rules, so he instead makes a new society that is even more conformist and tries to make the whole world follow it.
Oh, I just checked the charts and my mistake. I guess I understimated the libertarians of today.
Ugh: There was a spike. Of the various metals, the one to buy, in that time frame was lead. Gold is (as you know) not all that useful, as a thing (though some uses of it in electrical devices are being made, because of it’s low resistance).
But the insistence, on the part of Britain; mostly that gold was a real thing (thank you John Locke, for screwing that up) has warped the thinking of many. It was gold’s abstract nature that made it (and silver) useful as a currency. It wasn’t useful in any other way, so it could stand for other things.
Floating currencies are even better at this; but the Joes of the world can’t seem to handle that level of abstraction.
@pecunium
Well, it probably isn’t helping the Joes of the world that most conspiracy radio show and websites have ads by gold outlets.
I mean, Joe made a killing taking advantage of the panic buying of his fellow libertarians, but so did every major bank. They have a pretty strong interest in sponsoring shows and websites that tell peiople their ordinary money will be worthless soon and they should buy as much gold from the world financial establishment as possible.
Glenn Beck almost went to prison for it.
True enough. But as you imply, the real issue here is that Joe has never been, nor will he ever be, as cool as the Doctor. Because unlike Joe, the Doctor is not an ignorant reactionary shithead.
He can try to fake the attitude, but he obviously lacks the spirit.
