So, now that Marble Hornets is getting a movie. Doesn't that mean it's only a matter of time until Marble Pornets becomes a reality?


Isn't that just Tim on his own?

Uh, okay... It's a cartoon of someone yelling something incoherently.


The fact that you don't watch that show is... tragic.

Cartoons stopped being worth watching sometime between late 1997 and mid 1998.

 		Serum, what happened to you near the turn of the millenium? You don't trust pre-2000 dictionaries, you don't like new media, technology aggravates you... you're practically a Luddite.


Were you... were you... molested by a robot?

It's okay to talk about it... you're among friends...

Actually, you're not far-off. It's actually funny you should say that-- I'm slowly phasing a lot of technology out of my life, as I've begun to embrace a form of Neo-Luddism. In fact, I probably won't even be on the internet that much within one year. In two years, probably not at all. I canceled my Netflix and cell phone services and no longer use an HDTV when I watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune every weeknight.

I'm very serious, right now-- I know I say a lot of stuff that's just meant to make people chuckle and lighten the mood, but I'm actually quite serious about this. Three years from now-- probably around the time Hillary Clinton becomes president, the only times I'll use the internet will be at the library.

I believe you, and I'm interested in your reasons. I've sent you a PM.

It's no secret, I often discuss it openly.

I didn't say I've discussed it on this board.

In all fairness you barely like anything. Razz Adventure Time is an excellent show with its offbeat and sometimes random humor, and the depth they manage to sneak into the lore and characters, and there needs to be more stuff like it.

And I think it's something you'd enjoy especially, Serum.

What things have I even mentioned disliking?

I agree that it has offbeat & random humor, that's why it's so terrible. "Lolsorandom" is not funny. Nor shall it ever be. The funniest cartoons generally employ layered humor. For instance, Phineas & Ferb's "Agent P" sections involve slapstick & corny puns, but also mercilessly parody the Mad Scientist archetype, & sometimes even make fun of the absurdity of the show itself. Like one story is about how his plans would be so much more effective if he just built weapons instead of trying to invent crazy evil devices. In either case, I don't find the characters particularly deep. It's kind of hard to have character depth without a clear narrative.

Funnily enough, the majority of Adventure Time's humor is layered. That you don't recognize that and that you claim the show has no clear narrative tells me you haven't seen enough of it. I understand where you're coming from though, it seems a hell of a lot more random than it actually is, but once I watched them all in order, I realized that it does have a solid narrative, established lore, layered humor, deep characters, and even set laws of physics all at work in that fictional world. They just don't shove it into the viewer's face. It's definitely one of those shows that lays out each episode assuming you're already familiar with everything that's going on, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. You need to be a fan of seemingly random humor to enjoy the show in disjointed segments, which is why I wasn't into the show when I caught it on TV. I forget what compelled me to get into the show proper, but I'm glad I did.
