I am going to be honest here.

I hated it

I was worried about posting my opinion here as well, but since Colonel posted also, I don't feel as bad splitting the negative attention.

Yeah, this video was brutal. The first 15 seconds included more 4chan memes then visiting the first page of /b/. Honestly, I don't see why internet memes have to be related to GA and PP. Before, everything actually looked professionally done, with some humor in it. Now, it just seems that they're trying to make the channers laugh as much as possible.

I closed it about 3/4 of the way through. It got mostly annoying after that point. Well, I wouldn't say annoying, I just didn't want to hear any more stupid memes.

Before the jokes used to be about games, and events/items in games, but now, it seems like you can barely play games at all and still understand and laugh at it.

It was too overdone - its like, "Oh, how many internet catchphrases can we cram into this?".

The only part that actually made me chuckle was the Myren reference.

I really don't want to watch the video again just so I can state the obvious.

Well honestly most of the little puns and play on words werent chan related but gamer related, there were a few memes but nothing that made it unwatchable lol. Theres only so much u can do in a few minutes without a backstory or established characters and i think they made it well.

PP has always reflected internet culture, and you cant'deny that chan memes are exclusive to the chans anymore. If you watch the RGBfilter video about the premiere you'll see some straight examples of that at the part where they're interviewing me.. The ORLY meme was from the chans as well, and so were a lot of great jokes. I think it's inevitable that at least some of this leaks and already has leaked in PP.

I do however agreed that some thing were just taking it a bit too far. Blatently mentioning 4chan wasnt something I liked. However, 'you make me wanna facepalm' was pretty damn funny to me.

I guess the border where it's funny and not really funny when it's in a PP film is when someone who is not familiar with /b/ culture won't understand the given subject. You can't know about 4chan spambots if you've never been there. But 'facepalm' is something that anyone can understand. face + palm of your hand is a perfect mental image, and everybody does it from time to time.

This is exactly what has been going on through the entire thread, and it's not the first time either.
You come to us for advice..you just spell out what you want to get, and then ask us if it is okay, and we have to explain why it isn't. That's the world upside down.. If you would just say 'hey guys, I have an X amount of money, what should I buy?' Then this would be over in 2-3 posts, not 2-3 pages.

Every time someone goes against Weiman's sig I feel like they should be bludgeoned for a few minutes in the head to feel the headache I feel when I realize someone really IS that dense.
