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.
He kind of reminds me of a guy I used to work with, looked like a hippy, wore a peace symbol on a necklace, but any time anyone disagreed with him on anything he immediately went all shouty and rageaholic.
Wait a second… Bert, is that you?
Oh shit, get your towels ready It’s about to go down
Ever man in the place quit your fucking job
But stay on your Internet
We running this, let’s go.
I’m on a boat, I’m on a boat
Everybody look at me
‘Cause I’m sailing on a boat
I’m on a boat, I’m on a boat
Take a good hard look
At my old river boat
I’m on a boat, feminist, take a look at me
Straight flowing on a boat on the Mississippi
Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat
You can’t stop me feminists, ’cause I’m on a boat
Take a picture, BIGOT, I’m on a boat, BIGOT
We drinking Santana champ ’cause it’s so crisp
I got my swim trunks and my flippie-floppies
I’m flipping burgers, you at Kinko’s straight flipping copies
I’m riding on a dolphin, doing flips and shit
This dolphin’s splashing, getting everybody all wet
But this ain’t Seaworld, this is real as it gets
I’m on a boat, feminists, don’t you ever forget!
I’m on a boat and it’s going fast
and I got a nautical themed, Pashmina Afghan
I’m the king of the world, on a boat like Leo
If you’re on the shore, then you’re sure not me,oh
I don’t pay taxes, this boat is real
Fuck land, I’m on a boat, feminists
Fuck trees, I climb buoys, feminists
I’m on the deck with MRA’s, feminists
This boat engine make noise, feminists
Hey ma, if you could see me now
Arms spread wide on the starboard bow
Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow
For MGTOW, anything is possible
Yeah, never thought I’d be on a boat
It’s a big blue watery road
Never thought I’d see the day,
When a big boat coming my way,
Believe me when I say, I WENT MY OWN WAY!
I’m on a boat, I’m on a boat
Everybody look at me ‘Cause I’m sailing on a boat
I’m on a boat, I’m on a boat
Take a good hard look
At my old river boat!
yeah man, nothing is harder than clicking post twice. i wouldnt expend that much effort on something that didnt really matter.
do you have to try to sound this desperate for validation?
Thread over, thebionicmommy wins.
You can’t see me, but I am currently genuflecting to thebionicmommy.
@bionicmommy – Awesome! LMAO! 😀
sarcasm aside, angry joe, i cant actual read your posts in one run because you write like an over-excited eight-year-old. sometimes it takes multiple passes to find all the bits that are worth making fun of. there’s actually some more stuff from that last one that made me giggle but you can’t swing at every pitch.
No, really that’s hella funny, Lonely Planet are awesome, and you even got it to scan right.
Bionicmommy you win the thread, because: funny as fuck. Props. 😀

The corn is GOING ITS OWN WAY!!
CGIOW!!!!
@Joe
You are precious. [pats on head, gives a piece of candy] Now go play outside.
Oh, Lord, is he still going? Still going, but not gone. Go, find a nice cave and curl up on your hoarded gold. Just don’t leave a map to your lair; that’s where you guys always trip up.
Joe: Oh and look at the Shaming 101 “mooching”, “leech”, “looter”… Yeah, men who choose not to work themselves to death, (paying for all the shit other people want) get dickheads like you trying to shame us a lot. Still don’t care.
Are you eating only food you grew? Which you fertilised with compost you made? Using only water which fell from the sky, or you hauled from the well and the river?
Because if you aren’t, your food came from other people’s tax dollars. It was shipped on roads you aren’t paying to maintain, inspected by people you aren’t helping to pay.
The same is true for the water you drink, and the police who keep hooligans from stealing your boullion, as well as the (not effectual enough) regulators who see to it the “fiat” money you so grudgingly accept for your labors, and trade in for gold (so you can get more fiat money; and then boast about it) doesn’t go belly up.
You are a moocher.
As to shaming people, I’m not against it; when it’s warranted. What I am against is trying to shame people for things which aren’t shameworthy.
Your very involvement shows that you’re shitting it, just because we exist!
We make fun of it because it’s part of the broader structures of misogyny. If you yahoos would just shut up and go we could give you the attention you would then deserve, but instead you do shit like come in here to tell us how important you are with comments like this one,
Door number 2 for me! Fuck you all haterz!!! 😀
So go, door number 2 is right there waiting for you to pass through it. You, on the other hand, seem reluctant to actually Go Your Own Way.
You have chosen to noodle along, getting by in some level of comfort (on the backs and labors of others), and to come here (repeatedly) to be tendentious about how we’ll all be sorry when you go; while telling us we lack your penetrating perspicasity into the byzantine banking world of monetary structure.
Seems you can’t quit us Joe.
Joe: I’m going to write this very slowly, try to keep up.
I don’t think “fiat” money and GOLD! are the only two forms of abstracting exchange.
Got it. I don’t.
But (this is where you seem to be falling down)… I do think all money is an abstraction. It is a thing of no real value, which stands in for things of real value, so that dissimilar things can be traded; and the accounts don’t need to be local, and everyone can agree a fair trade was made.
Got it? Money (all money) is an abstraction. A tool. A convenient way of balancing things that are hard to balance.
That’s what I think.
I think your, “USURY” money is a bullshit idea, because it’s based on your idea that some money is less abstract than others.
Money is a social construct. It’s not a real thing.
LOL, I’m glad people got a kick out of it. I would have linked to the real song, but I was afraid it would be NSFW.
Just as an interesting note:
From Paul Krugman’s blog.
And now, back to your regularly schedule discussions.
SERIOUSLY, Joe, you need to STOP with the CAPS for EMPHASIS. If you want us to think that you are a CHILL DUDE, making it look like you are SHOUTING at EVERYONE is NOT the way to go about it. Try using ITALICS, or possibly BOLD TEXT, instead.
Unless it was your intention to look like an overexcited man-baby throwing a tantrum, in which case, congratulations, goal achieved.
You did? Where? Just shouting RACIST! BIGOT! does not an argument win. In fact, you’re getting just about as much meaning out of those words as Tom Martin was out of his.
So, yeah. Go ahead. Declare victory, and leave. That’s what losers do on the Internet.
Except I have a feeling you’re not going. How late is it over there? Do you have work tomorrow? Or are you taking a day off in tax protest?
Hey — you know what? The internet is not truly a requirement for living. You’re doing enough work to live on, and just enough more to pay the internet companies for their services. OMG you’re still in the system! Go Galter! Go Galter!! Either that or you’re in a Starbucks, mooching their free wifi. Looter.
Joe’s probably stealing his neighbor’s wifi.
Is the network named I can hear you fondling your bullion?
It’s called NO U in honor of the sum total of his arguments.
Back for a link drop.
@Howardbannister – remember how you were talking a while back about how you thought the Swedish Model was somehow a good thing? Here’s an article by Petra Ostergren (doing a PhD at Lund Uni on this very subject) relaying the very negative effects on the Swedish sex workers themselves, from interviewing those sex workers.
http://www.petraostergren.com/pages.aspx?r_id=40716
It’s long, and grim reading in places, you should read it.
They’re are currently attempts to implement the Swedish Model in Northern Ireland and in Scotland. Which would be a huge setback for sex worker’s rights.
If you care about sex worker’s rights, push for full decriminalisation.
Contrast with the effects of decriminalisation in New Zealand and New South Wales (Aus). Trafficking has almost disappeared (scroll halfway down for that bit):

The corn is GOING ITS OWN WAY!!
Paul Elam’s out standing in a field in Iowa giving a speech. “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.”
Okay, Katz wins, everybody.
Okay, I’m not especially familiar with Maggie McNeill, and I don’t have any particular reason to doubt that she knows what she’s talking about when it comes to sex work and trafficking.
But this:
… makes it pretty clear that she has no idea what “Marxism” means, which doesn’t bode well for her credibility.
Also, this:
Wait, so neofeminists want women to become men… but they’re also anti-male? Bwuh?
Right, that’s totally how it happened. I wasn’t making a point about your many hypocrisies, and I totally made a value judgment on the Swedish model.
…
Or not.
So you still want to go back to full-criminalization instead???
(note: he doesn’t, and neither do I, but that’s how his arguments work, so…….)
