Wizard, cease casting your aging spells upon me. My bones are already so brittle…
Nothing a well-placed remote wouldn't fix. Brings life back to these old bones.
FLARED. BASE.
I almost forgot about that kid. He's gotta be in his 30s now, right?
If he survived.
I believe it all turned out to be staged/scripted but still great content
yeah it was staged just like leroy jenkins (and I'm sorry to those who are learning this for the first time)
Fuck, what's next, no Santa? Not really sarcasm, did not know that
it was basically satire of guilds that at the time took raids in WoW WAY too seriously. the tip off the creators of the video felt would be obvious was "Abduls number crunch" which was clearly bullshit. The thing is the video that was released was only a "practice run" for the actual video they wanted to release thus the blooper "stick the the pleen" but it was so good they just decided to release it anyways.
Yeah that sailed right over my head. Never got into WoW, and knowing there are 40+ player raids, the planning seemed like it was probably normal. Just no frame of context. Only knew enough to get the joke, but not enough to know it was one
Next you'll tell me Tourettes Guy didn't really have tourettes!
iirc it did really happen but nobody was recording at the time, so they re-enacted it, giving us the famous video.
Oof, looks like it wasn't even re-enactment.
In December 2017, Schulz, along with Ben "Anfrony" Vinson, who recorded the video, released what he described as a first take or dry run of the video. Vinson stated, "We didn't think anyone would believe it was real, we thought it was so obviously satire."
Man, fuck me I guess lol
Oh okay, at least it actually happened in some capacity. Re-enactment for the vid isn't that bad. I'll research to confirm, thanks!
I once tried to share a gif of this somewhere I forget what platform, and I was warned about csam. So, tread carefully. Lmao
Oh man, I'd never have even considered that, but I believe you.
Too late
... What's he planning on doing with that remote?
Using it for the first time, after eons of neglecting it.
The remote screams, because it doesn't want to be used again.
The remote has no mouth but must scream!
I assume to take revenge? Take away my game and i take away your tv time kinda thing.
Toxic behaviour on both parties but not uncommon i believe.
No joke: that remote is going in his ass. There's an old video of some kid throwing a colossal tantrum because his mom canceled his WoW account, and part of that tantrum involved grabbing a TV remove and trying to shove it up his ass for some reason.
As was the style at the time
Only the oldheads and gray muzzles are gonna remember this one.
Leeeeeeerooooy Jennnnnnnkinnnnnnssss!
I've seen pictures of this room put on liminal spaces videos and I have no clue what to make of it. Do the liminal posters know what the room is from?
It's like this meme was tailored specifically for me.
talking to the remote but the flip phone gets zoomed in
I feel sad now about my existence now that everyone is calling that video old :(
