    Default So... does anyone here like that CN show "Dethklok"?

    If you do, may I ask: why?

    I just started watching it, and quite frankly I have no idea how any of it is funny. I could see some might like the whole angle that the band mutilates/send to hell/kills all their fans, or how in this most recent episode a man ate a baby, or how thousands of escaped criminals started EATING people, or how the band didn't care that hundreds of people died waiting for their concert, or how millions committed suicide over their not-playing music.

    Wait, no. I have no clue how thats entertaining. No dialogue was present in the entire show that made me laugh (jokes<0). The plot and actions taken by the characters had me questioning the quality of people who write the show, the human mind, and what kind of mental state the fans -who walk the same streets as I do- must have!

    But SOMEHOW this show has enough fans to give it a second season!

    I know ONE of you here on EP likes that show. I remember a few months back we had a self-proclaimed necrophiliac, a communist, and Cheezymadman! SOMEONE HERE IS ONE REALLY SICK FUCK. Who are you and why do you like that show?

    I liked it. It's funny that they parody the death metal scene, a group that needs parodied worse than the chinese government needs a full lobotomy.

    Trolling? I'm sorry, what rule did I break? Reading the rules, not seeing it.

    1) No Pornographic Material - That's pretty self explanatory. Don't post any images containing any sort of nudity including men, women, or any other kind of wierd stuff. And no linking to porn sites either. If we see images like that, they will be removed, and possible infractions will be handed out. This also includes these types of images in avatars, signatures, and profile pictures. No exceptions.

    2) No Warez - This means no requesting, sharing, linking, etc, of retail games for computers. This also includes such things as programs, non-game related music, movies, games, cracks, serial numbers, keygenerators, and links to them. This is an emulation community, so we don't support nor tolerate the trading/linking to, of these things here.

    3) No multiple accounts - Do not make multiple accounts. If you do, they will be deleted or banned.

    4) Don't attack members - This includes constant flaming, harassment, etc. Normally, we tolerate some of it in the confines of the Hangout. However, if things like this happen all of the time, we expect you to take it to private messages, or to a messenger service.

    5) Ignorant posts - Posts that are racist, sexist, or hateful, will be deleted.

    6) Do not spam - The staff has become lenient on some forms of spam, like spam that is somewhat amusing, and yet also on topic. Any other forms of spam will be deleted.

    7) No double posting - There is an edit button below your posts for a reason, people. It isn't hard to find, nor hard to use.

    8) Post count increase - Don't go around posting random things or spamming with the intentions of raising your post count. If we find out that is happening, said posts will be deleted.

    9) User profile images - Avatars for normal members are set to 100x100. For staff members, they are set to 150x200. As far as signatures go, everyone can have a maximum of 3 images, each should no larger than 7-800x300. Signatures all together should not exceed 1MB. As for user profile pictures, regular members have a size limit of 100x100. Staff members have a size limit of 150x200.

    10) No advertising - If you signed up just to advertise something, you will be banned on the spot.

    11) Language - English is the official language of the forums. Foreign languages may be used in the Hangout but they are not permitted elsewhere on the board.

    12) Seniority - If you're a long standing member here, act like one. Don't attack new members if they don't please you in some way or another. Instead, try to help them when you can.

    13) Listen to the staff - We are Moderators, Super Moderators, and Administrators for a reason. Because we know the rules more than regular members, and we enforce them. If we ask that you stop doing something, or need to moderate you or a situation involving you, we expect you to comply.

    14) Backseat moderating - Leave the moderating to the actual staff members. If you see something that needs to be taken care of, send a private message to that sections moderator, or send one to a super moderator/admin. Members also have the option of using our Report Post button when they see any posts that need to be tended to. Using that sends emails to all staff members, letting us know what needs to be taken care of. There are a few options to choose from.

    15) Imposters - We don't tolerate anyone who impersonates staff members. If we see this, you will be asked to stop. If you do not, actions will be taken against you.

    16) Bumping - Bumping old threads (reviving them) isn't allowed. Threads that have gone at least one month with zero activity are old, and will be locked if bumped.

    17) No Illegal Activities - Do not discuss illegal activities such as cracking or any form of hacking that can be or is used for unethical use (anything that can be used to cause any form of damage onto somebody unwillingly).

    Two reasons:

    1) Gallows humour. It's not for everyone, but plenty of people find it quite easy to play violent and/or offensive things for laughs. Same foundations as regular humour (regular situation juxtaposed with non-regular elements), just playing with more risque situations. It's especially relevant to people who put up with a lot of screwed up stuff in their regular life. Humour as a coping mechanism and all that.

    2) Ultimately, the whole show is a parody of the heavy metal subculture(s), exaggerating a style that's already prone to being over the top. There's also a lot of in-jokes and throwaway references that won't mean anything to regular folk, but they're fairly amusing if you know what they're talking about. Plus seeing the subculture parodied by people who actually know about it is worth a little bit of attention in and of itself.

    Some of the metal references are pretty funny. Like how they mix the bassist out of all their music and go shopping at Fintroll...

    I actually like the music they have in the show. ; The show itself is pretty entertaining. I absolutely loved the David Lee Roth imitation of the clown that does coke. XD

    He wasn't there again today.
    I wish, I wish he'd go away.

    Frankly, this show is funny. Go check it on adultswim.com.
    I never liked South Park much, because most of the time it's just idiotic jokes about shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, turd and twat.

    This show however doesn't miss a chance to hit at metal bands but still keeping quite awesome music. It's full of content, and it's true some jokes are maybe too subtle for anyone to get them. Oh and it's sarcasm prone. I dig.
