I shouldn't even have posted this in the humor forum.

A bit long but still funny...

Yikes!

I know women like that.....phew, by the stroke of whatever I did one thing right in my life and homed in on the wife.

Although we did go camping before we were married....and one house I did dream of the downstairs bar........oh khrap I'm owned!!

Somewhere around the middle of the video I was hoping for a divorce.

I could never aspire to such heights ...

njcruiser · Mar 22, 2008

that was great.

There are some women where it's just all about them.

So make it all about them, and don't be a part of their life!

Phew, the good Lord (if that word gets censored, understand that it was referring to the Creator of the universe) was definitely watching over me that time!!

A couple observations:

I think it's likely the voice of the girl in the cartoon is not the voice of his "girlfriend" appearing in the other videos and on their blog. This seems pretty reasonable to me given that the accent and inflections don't sound like a match with the image I have in my head (though I never could find one where she spoke), and the name "Kate Micucci" (if that's her real name) would also be a bit odd for someone of her nationality. You have to then wonder about the nature of the dialogue, which was apparently written by "Mike" and not his girlfriend (the opposite of which could be easily inferred given that the narrative is from her point of view and in a woman's voice). The guy doing the drawing and the music actually has a pretty neat blog by the way (he's a stand-up comedian apparently).

Assuming, however, that his girlfriend did actually have a hand in the sketch, maybe after she witnesses the "majesty and diversity of foreign lands" (there's no place like London...) she'll come to realize a lot of the people in this world would kill to have that life (if she doesn't understand that already in some sense). Her desire for writing a book which changes the way people (?) think and developing a grasp of contemporary philosophy might help her work out some of the kinks too I suspect. It looks like she is even holding out hope that the proposal will feel right (read: real); I didn't see any rings in the videos or pictures anyway. I wonder if she's a fan of Nietzsche by any chance...

A lot of the videos were very creative, and it's obvious they have done a lot of work to produce them (I've actually seen the "One Semester of Spanish Love Song" before). I would be more wary of the guy than his "girlfriend" honestly. She didn't exactly fill the spotlight in the two videos I saw her in, and from the blog entries and nature of the videos, I'll bet this is really much more "his project" than hers. I finally stopped laughing when I got to the cop one, which was simply brutal. [censored]. This guy could, of course, just have some sort of truly bizarre artistic philosophy he happens to be advancing among whatever other possibilities there are (which I can't simply rule out with what's there).

Since we're trading our two cents on two cents worth of information, I think you guys are reading the relationship influences backwards if it was even your intent to generate anything beyond a passing commentary on the voice you heard in the cartoon (this kind of stuff really winds me up sometimes... lol). I'm pretty sure I understand what you guys generally meant at any rate, and I can identify with the anger to a certain extent, but you have to make sure it is pointed in the right direction (in this case at the right person). That's really all I'm trying to say; you can extrapolate from this point on your own if you wish to do so.

The humor has been annihilated in the humor section yet again... which I actually find kind of funny.

It only took 4 minutes and 40 seconds of my life.

BTW, a 21 year old workmate confided in me the other day that it's "poor form to send a youtube link that runs for more than 2 minutes...people just don't have the time to watch longer stuff".

moribundman · Mar 23, 2008

Yeah, I stopped watching after about 1 minute.

Julian · Mar 23, 2008

Whatever, you guys are totally suckered in with all this Beauty and the Beast romance. I had to sacrifice like 30 chickens and a baby cat for this vision too, so don't just tell me I'm lying.

I had to check the video length....I though you were referring to Julian's post.

Papa Bear · Mar 23, 2008

4 minutes and 40 seconds of truth and we spend days trying to deny or rationalize it.....

I had to check my post...I think I was right.
