Is it wrong that I actually found this...rather nice? I really enjoy poetry, and (although I didn't realize it because he usually talks so quickly and breathlessly) Yahtzee actually has an excellent reading voice. Pick up the pace a little bit and add some of his normal inflection, and it would be quite good.
Yahtz, if you ever need additional income, I highly suggest doing voiceover work, or books on tape. You've got the perfect voice for it.

how stupid are you guys 
lol
The joke is it is him actually punctuating!!! His thingy is called: ZERO punctuation.
This time he not only was punctuating but he was punctuating a lot and emphasizing the punctuations!

I think if Yahtzee watched that and it was done by someone else, his first thought would be "pffft tosser"
I think there is something in that for all of us this easter.

Lol...yes, I think so too. Perhaps if this was at least a farce of a review...Razorback0z said:

Ode on Melancholy - John Keats
No, no, go not to Lethe, neither twist
Wolf's-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous wine;
Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kiss'd
By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine;
Make not your rosary of yew-berries,
Nor let the beetle, nor the death-moth be
Your mournful Psyche, nor the downy owl
A partner in your sorrow's mysteries;
For shade to shade will come too drowsily,
And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul.
But when the melancholy fit shall fall
Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,
That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,
And hides the green hill in an April shroud;
Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose,
Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave,
Or on the wealth of globed peonies;
Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows,
Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave,
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes.
She dwells with Beauty - Beauty that must die;
And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh,
Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips:
Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine,
Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue
Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine;
His soul shall taste the sadness of her might,
And be among her cloudy trophies hung.
The joke is visual... Ode on Melancholy has a lot of punctuation.

A funnier April Fools joke would have been how much he liked FFXIII because the story was so deep and meaningful and the characters and voice acting were all spot on, and how he missed the grand opening of his bar because he was on his third play through. Delivered in the right way I might have even believed it.
NOOOOO! It's too weird! He isn't allowed to talk slowly! It goes against every law there is. I don't like it, it makes my head hurt! But seriously that was very weird()_()
At least I'm not the only one left thinking this.ChrisW212 said:
And yes, the joke is that it's Yahtzee doing something decidedly un-Yahtzee like, which was talking in a slow, monotone voice, as has been said.
All the same, I rather enjoyed it, though from the visual of him sitting in his fancy chair with his pipe, I was almost expecting him to do the thing from Masterpiece Theatre.
