There MUST be a benefit. Someone explain it to me .... Where's the plus?? Where's the thrill?? What's the gain??? I guess I just don't see the "humor" and, for the record ..... I do "get it".
Higher standards is what you reach for, gentlemen. Not the lowest. I weep for the future .....
.... Just my $20 worth .... :icon_rast
It's fun to mock the rap culture. We know how ridiculous we...and the real rappers sound, and think it's funny. At least thats why I talk like that from time to time
Mock the rap culture ??? Sorry ... I don't buy it.Birdman1 said:

Well and true, I agree! But if the objective is to get a laugh (which just so happens to be at the expense of rap) then parody is useful, no? I think this is where Birdman is coming from.A4sForever said:Mock the rap culture ??? Sorry ... I don't buy it.

As AirWarriors demonstrates daily:
-truth hurts
-good comedy is the truth
-comedy garners rep points
THEREFORE
scorn/pain = rep points
I digress... and by digress, I mean shut up.

I don't think you quite grasp the understanding of the word "mock". Ignoring them may in fact be the better way of making them go away and stop being annoying, but that's not considered mocking them.
Also I concur with what Eddie said.
Had a couple real thug-stylin guys live next to me my second year in the dorms. They started breaking out in the urban ghetto Snoop-Doy speak for a minute, so I was just like "Listen to me and tell me that doesnt sound rediculous..... Fo-shizzle....." They actually got the point.
Right. You got it. I just don't .... "grasp the understanding" of "mock". There's so many things that I don't "grasp" at this advanced stage of decay that I am currently experiencing. But I DO "understand" the word "idiot". Do you ??? And parody? You mean --- kind of like what I'm doing right now ... i.e., for comic effect or ridicule ???Birdman1 said:

Hey A4, not sure if you're aware, but their video was a re-enactment of a Saturday Night Live skit called "Lazy Sunday" with Chris Parnell. The rap, the tune, everything (the original is about the "Chronicles of Narnia" movie)!
Which itself is a take-off on a sort of Beastie Boys (white rap trio) video. Look up the original Lazy Sunday video on google. Try searching "Lazy Sunday Chronicles of Narnia". It might help clear up some controversy about the idea behind what these 2 Sgts were doing.
