i'm allowed to think they shouldn't have changed Harley's costume, though, right?
tbh i've mostly avoided Suicide Squad reactions/hype out of being generally tired of superhero flicks, and i don't really differentiate between Marvel and DC since i was never a huge fan of either

Harley needs to fit the Joker, and that's how a groupie of Hot Topic discount Manson Joker would dress

They should have made an Adam West DLC for the Arkham games, where everything is completely the same, except Batman is voiced by and looks like Adam West Batman. And reacts to things like he would.
@glennmagusharvey that's kinda odd to me, because i'd have said Nichijou and Monty Python both have more in common with Look Around You than asdfmovie, and i'd file YouTube Poop under blaring rapidfire internet wacky offensive crazy videos
It is odd to me too, and I haven't figured out the pattern yet.
I wonder if it might help if I add what I like/dislike about each:
* Look Around You: it's deadpan in its seriousness, plus occasional dashes of subtle puns/jokes. The deadpanness continues and acts as if the absurd circumstances are perfectly normal, which is quite amusing. * YTMND: I'm not really sure, but it's probably something about just assuming meaning from nothing. And specifically with the Alternate Universes, it's taking those jokes to new heights, by which I mean overly long gags. And lots and LOTS of mutation. I love the mutation. Taking elements of a formerly coherent thing (or even a somewhat-incoherent meme) and altering them. Not sure why mutation is this funny to me, but it is. I think it has to do with using mental associations in unusual ways -- like thinking "perpendicular" to the original context. Puns do the same thing. * Youtube Poop: I think it's the irreverence and distractedness. Like, paying attention to everything _but_ the intended meaning/context. Not just making fun of stuff, but making fun of it in a way that's also making fun of oneself, or just so irrelevant that it's basically like childish splashing things around, and also being completely distracted by the shiny possibilities for making fun of stuff in very silly ways, such as like drawing googly eyes on things. I don't like the ones that have an excess of sex jokes, or anything that makes "too much sense" in offensive or otherwise "relevant" ways though. * Teen Girl Squad: it's quite random and irrelevant, but the insane stuff just sorta happens, like in Look Around You, as opposed to being specially pointed out as being especially weird/crazy.
* Monty Python: it just seems..."monkey cheese" random. Like, I know it's parodying the Arthurian legend, but the jokes just...seem to be just there. It's not even like, mocking anything in particular either. It's just sorta contextless and unassociated, I guess? Also kinda unsubtle. * Nichijou: It's deadpan, but again it just seems to come out of nowhere...and is really, really overacted. In fact that problem of overacting is frequent in anime comedy. * asdfmovie and other loudcrazywacky internet stuff: too loud, too exaggerated, too unsubtle, too grotesque.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Like I feel like the only way Batman can satisfy me consistently anymore is in comics, because there are a plurality of creators acting in concert rather than a committee trying to sell a bunch of other things.
Is anyone else really tired of having to formulate opinions on things they really have no opinions on.
sometimes i feel like that one Onion article where Obama and John McCain are complaining about having to make a statement on whether they are for/against some potential coal mining related thing that neither of them know anything about or care about at all.

What about BTAS?
That was a plurality of creators acting in concert, too.
i just remember sitting there, and i think he'd just shot a vehicle with a rocket launcher or something and there was a big dramatic explosion, y'know, the usual movie spectacle, and i just remember suddenly thinking, 'why am i watching this? this isn't entertaining, this is sick'
and i watched to the end but that coloured the rest of it for me, Batman hitting the Joker, the evesdropping on the phones, all of it
i don't normally react like that so i'm not sure why that movie in particular set me off
and i'm not familiar with the YTMND four corners thing
Basically, someone noticed that the YTMND banner is in the upper left corner, and started coming up with similar-looking banners named after other lines from the same scene where "You're the man now dog" comes from.
Then, other people started similarly "mutating" other notable YTMND sites. For example, "lol, internet", featuring Ronald McDonald, set to the Eurobeat song "Running in the 90s", got mutated into "omg, internet", featuring The King (from Burger King), set to the Eurobeat song "Golden Age".
This was done for a large number of famous YTMND sites.

"what did you think of the new Drake/Future mixtape"
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
I'm saying that I didn't watch that much of it when it was airing because my only avenue of viewing were five episode DVDs bought on visits to the States or the island.
FWIW, I'm fine with you not liking Homestar, Tach.
You're not perverse with your tastes like GMH is.
that second sentence is phrased a little, uh, meanly
... I'm sorry. I haven't been in a very good mood the past few days and I keep taking it out on people. >_>
Don't worry about it. Maybe due to our past good interactions, I didn't perceive that as an insult, just a good-natured joke. (This is a slightly blunt, but true, statement on my part.)
* Monty Python: it just seems..."monkey cheese" random. Like, I know it's parodying the Arthurian legend, but the jokes just...seem to be just there. It's not even like, mocking anything in particular either. It's just sorta contextless and unassociated, I guess? Also kinda unsubtle.
The Holy Grail is definitely not all the Pythons were capable of, but the reason that movie works for me is *because* it's not really a parody of the Arthurian legend, they do that a bit but then they go off at ridiculous tangents and throw other bizarre things in there. i just love the wackiness of it, and the jokes are also great.
* Nichijou: It's deadpan, but again it just seems to come out of nowhere...and is really, really overacted. In fact that problem of overacting is frequent in anime comedy.
See generally i don't like overacted anime comedy, but Nichijou amuses me because they take it to such extremes, so that it goes well past the point where it might have been irritating and becomes hilarious.

I sometimes wonder if the ability to come up with an opinion on anything within seconds is a politician skill.

"what did you think of the new Drake/Future mixtape"
"It combines a variety of meaningful elements into a curiously coherent whole."

They're certainly iconic. I just felt they were contextless but presented as parody, and as a result didn't work, or tried too hard to point out that they were making a joke in the first place.
See generally i don't like overacted anime comedy, but Nichijou amuses me because they take it to such extremes, so that it goes well past the point where it might have been irritating and becomes hilarious.
I guess I can understand this.
Incidentally I feel more ambivalent (less negative I mean) about Azumanga Daioh, which has a somewhat gentler sense of humor.
I don't actually hate Nichijou; I just am not entertained by it. AzuDai is more amusing.

Same, mostly.
Like, most of the shows I like are Japanese animation for whatever reason, but the vast majority of anime is stuff I don't care about at all and don't feel like I should need to formulate an opinion on. But this is nothing compared to, say, when people here talk about console games.

Definitely agreed on "I don't want to care about and have an opinion regarding the existence of [show] either way".

That's just how it works.
I want to travel to the universe where they have grimdark Adam West batman.
The TAS costume was iconic, though.
i watched Begins and Rises and enjoyed them, but idk, i had a weird reaction when i watched The Dark Knight
i'll even accept it was the better movie of the three, somehow it just bothered me
Sounds like, no.

Use whatever words you want man, i don't get to tell you what to say.

But they're still a bit forced.
derp

In a possibly bad way.
"It combines a variety of meaningful elements into a curiously coherent whole."
The Life of Brian was a lot more coherent as a movie, but i actually liked it somewhat less.
I guess I can understand this.
Incidentally I feel more ambivalent (less negative I mean) about Azumanga Daioh, which has a somewhat gentler sense of humor.
I don't actually hate Nichijou; I just am not entertained by it. AzuDai is more amusing.
By this I mean "the theme song came into my head again". This means I should watch it.
Nichijou is extremely funny to me, but sometimes i do prefer something a little more laidback.
Correspondingly, I am very entertained by understatement.
