Have you ever grown emotionally attached to something that doesn't have a brain? Of course you have. You started to have these strange feelings forced upon you as a child with your dolls (or "action figures" as you men insist on calling them) and teddy bears. Then you grew up and started to have feelings for random things. Sometimes feelings of hatred, like towards your computer. You begin to trash talk your modem. You are officially a loser now. But don't worry, I'm a loser, too. I yell at my computer all the time. If my ranting to a computer was formed into dialogue, it would sound like this:
"Dang you to heck, you piece of rat feces!! I hope you get recycled into a child's game that gets SO broke that NO ONE can recycle you ever again!" the pink-haired youth screamed at the computer. The computer stared at her with its sneering screen and mocked her viciously with its silence. She then threw a hammer through it, causing it to never bring viruses upon the land again. The End.
I also have affection for random objects. Like my ukulele. It's like a small little Hawaiian baby to me. I love my baby and yes, I talk to my baby. I also used to talk to my trees and bamboo plant. This is why I was called a hippie all through seventh grade. That and I was the only kid who knew who Cat Stevens is.
Does the Batman voice annoy you like it does me? Don't get me wrong, I less than three The Dark Knight like you would not believe, but let's be serious with one another. Where would a voice like that get you anywhere? I mean, yes, he has to disguise his voice to keep Bruce Wayne under wraps. But, what if Batman did a British accent? That way he would sound dignified as he's about to crack your ribs and maybe he'd have more luck with the ladies. At least, Rachel Dawes. If Batman talked like that all the time, I would start to laugh if I were a villain. What if Batman needed a doughnut?
Batman: *in hoarse Batman voice* I need two glazed and some sprinkles.
DoughnutMan: Fat chance. Go back to prison, man. You're scaring me.
Batman: *in hoarse Batman voice* I'm not going to hurt you, I'm a vigilante.
DoughnutMan: Yeah, right. And I'm a superhero who wears a cape and changes into his costume in telephone booths.
Batman: *in hoarse Batman voice* No, that's my friend Clark K--
DoughnutMan: Get out of my shop.
Batman: *in hoarse Batman voice* Yeah, okay.
No other superhero talks like a retard when they're about to kill you. They have witty catchphrases in clear tones. I guess vigilantes have to sound like they need cough drops.
I'll be honest with you. I pretty much hate dramatic films. Give me some humor in it, okay, fine. But sometimes, things are too serious. Next time you go to the movie theater, I have ten ways to make the most dramatic moments epically fail.
- Clap when someone dies. My school did this while we watched Black Beauty. It was hysterical. Do it at the theater, but be sure to have some gutsy friends along with you. Otherwise, instead of the drama epically failing, YOU will epically fail.
- Begin to sing "I Will Survive" at a serious, motivational part. Once again, backup friends are needed for full affect. Another option is to sing the Rocky Theme Song.
- During a major kissing scene, make loud, obnoxious gagging noises like you did when you were seven. At a dramatic scene, your immaturity will prove how lame this is. Or, use a stopwatch on your phone and shout how long that kiss really was and end the observation with the humorous comment "Get a room."
- If someone is getting seriously beat up by a villain, you know, the times where all the girls hide their faces in their boyfriends' chests, say "Don't get mad! Get glad!" or "Maybe they should just talk it out!"
- Although not my favorite option, this one is sure to get some laughs. During a silent montage, you know, the one where people debate with their thoughts accompanied by faint piano music, fart or belch as loudly as possible. Then, following suite of Buddy the Elf ask the person next to you "Did you hear that?"
- Break out dancing to sad music. This never fails. Bring a friend or two who will dance with you. Glowsticks would be a good idea for instant rave party.
- When a deep meaningful quote is spoken, ask in a loud whisper "Didn't Jesus say that?"
- If a lesser known actor/actress is on screen and does something dramatic scream "Oh my gosh! That's my sister/brother!"
- When a mentor gives advice, snort loudly. Then say "I could've told him that."
There you go. I hope this blog was enjoyable for you. If you plan on doing any of the suggestions, leave me a comment. Or if you think of any new ones, comment. Or, if you love me...comment.
