Trololo Guy Dies

[ResonanceSD]

He sure had one big last trick up his sleeve with this years E3 though...

Wait, what does that mean?

Not so subtle "I don't like E3" dig? Which is weird, because E3 this year has been less ridiculous than usual.

But seriously, OP, like it matters?

 

[Eleima]

Wow, I had no idea the trololo phenomenon had deeper roots. May he rest in peace.

 

[That_Sneaky_Camper]

I hope he Trolls In Peace.

And to think, if Russia wasn't a complete fuckhead when it came to his lyrics of that particular song, we might never have had the trollolol that we have now.

Thank you, Russia, for being complete fuckheads...

And may Eduard trollolol in peace.

Tell you what God:
We give you Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black and everyone working at EA and in return you give us back Steve Jobs, Edd Gould (the creator of Eddsworld) and Eduard Khil. That sound good?

Seeing as how we're talking music here, how about for those given we get back Scatman John, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley and Eduard Khil? Seems roughly a fair trade to me.

 

[Skeleon]

Great voice to be sure, but the song sounds more like a training excercise for singers than, well, an actual song. I get that they didn't want the original lyrics, but couldn't they've come up with an equivalent in Russian, both in content and language?

Why on earth would anyone want Steve Jobs back?

As for the other guy I have no clue who he is.

I'd settle for Janis Joplin, really.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

If there's anyone I wanted to come back from the grave, it'd be this guy.

*sigh* But that'll never happen.

Rest In Peace

Something the article doesn't mention, apparently he discovered he was an internet meme when he found his grandchildren watching the video, and he was beside himself with excitement. There are interviews of him expressing his thanks to the internet on youtube. And they are adorable.

Anyways, so passes a great guy who brought a lot of happiness to people everywhere. May you trolololo in the afterlife, friend.

 

[rayen020]

huh, i didn't know he was even still alive before now. Trolololo in peace.

oddly since he was alive for that video/song becoming wildly internet sensation big, does anyone know what he thought about it?

 

[Fijiman]

My brother is saddened by this news. He never got to shake his hand.

If i remember right, his reaction to newfame was on along the lines of: "where were these reporters 35 years ago when I first sang this song?"

OT: And world is poorer by far. May the heavens weep.

He has been forever immortalised by the internet, which is about the best legacy anybody can have. When ever I hear Trololo, I'll think of him.

 

[Ljs1121]

Spoiler

Pretty sad. The song was really catchy, he did have a great voice, and he seemed like a pretty cool guy all around. Rest in peace, Eduard.

 

[bart56912]

he's trolling the gods now

 

[Alar]

With that backstory, he's even more awesome than I thought... This is sad.

Sad David Tennant in the rain says it all...

Rest well, sweet prince.

It is? What about curing diseases or improving the living quality (and equality) of people in impoverished parts of the world? I would have thought that would be the best legacy anybody could have, rather than starting a freakin meme.

Wow, you're such a freaking killjoy.

 

[chiefohara]

Rest in Peace, kudos to you for taking the meme in your stride

 

[ZexionSephiroth]

Man, this guy pretty-much managed to troll Russia... And got away with it until the point he died of (probably) old age.

I salute this man, the man with the iron goods; hidden behind the iron curtain.

Yes, pun intended.
