Zero Punctuation (And thus, Yahtzee) Should...

[Amnestic]

Does he even read these threads?

Doubtful. Between the piles of mail, working, writing, making his game and opening his Mana Bar thing I doubt he spends much time browsing forums. It's possible, but I doubt it.

This is never going to happen. Ever since EA rickrolled him and he broke that box in anger...

He has to read something when he quotes specific forum replies in his "Extra Punctuation" segments.

You should never try to force humour. It's best when it flows naturally.

Spontaneous is the best and key ingredient to being funny, I agree

His quick wit is what makes him a hit.
His is rather harsh but it's funny as well.
I like him simply because you can tell his humour comes from him and not copied from someone else.

Somewhat relatedly, I think Yahtzee is or was a goon.

He doesn't mention it though. Don't know why he would, but there it is.

First rule of the escapist: Thou shalt not tell Yahtzee what to do.

I was discussing this n the Meme Enthusiest group. I'm not sure why the Escapist doesn't have any memes. I'd try for one but you shouldn't force memes.

There's a few memes scattered throughout some articles.
Not trying to force any, unless you're referring to the fact that none have ORIGINATED here...

I assumed those were either sent in to him directly or from the threads attached to his Zero/Extra Punctuation segments rather than random forum threads containing his name. Perhaps you're right though. Maybe you should ask him.

Spontaneous? Like when Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990?

But yeah, I agree. Same goes for games; I try not to make a habit of telling game-designers what they should do, since things are far more enjoyable than when they're unexpected.

Woahaohao wow! Where did that one come from :S talk about eating your breakfest and someone detonates an IED in your face! That bold part. WTF!?

It's a meme which was born out of Glenn Beck's (and other political pundits) habits of saying things and then following up with 'I'm just asking questions' and 'If it's not true, why won't they deny it?'

As such the meme that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990 was born. After all, if it's not true, why won't he just come out and deny it?

 

[TheGreatDirectorWatanbe]

It would be nice to see Yahtzee's opinion on Memes maybe if he could add a little sub-section to an Extra Punctuation at the end just stating his opinion on them.

Ya, I meant ones that originated here. Seems like there should have been at least one by now.

Holy fack! I never knew I was cloned....

Not exactly, if you're aware of the work of Victor Lewis-Smith or Charlie Brooker, there are definite similarities in style and presentation.

That said, he's still the main reason I'm here.

 

[JJMUG]

I believe he really hates the Rickroll after being Rickrolled by... Ubisoft?
I think it was Ubisoft...

It was EA with their Dante's Inferno box of wrath.

I thought that was part of Ubisoft's new DRM.

So many shows represent this perfectly.

 

[Georgie_Leech]

Memes, although they can be done properly, are usually just lame jokes for the uncreative and unfunny.

And why do people insist on calling it awesomeface?
It was made for selling drugs, dang nabbit!

Electronic Arts.
it was for Dante's Inferno.

Probably not. If he does he doesn't bother to post in them.
