Blog #861: Metalocalypse is amazing

HOLY.
CRAP.

So…the season finale of Metalocalypse?

It rocked.

I cannot WAIT to see how they pull out of this in the third season.

Beautiful. Epic. I want more.

And no, I don’t care that I’m an obsessive fangirl.

More of my obsessive behavior

So I’ve now downloaded and finished watching all of the Metalocalypse episodes for season 2 that have been made. I really have no idea why this show is so freaking funny to me, but it is. I love it.

And now I present you with an “All I Needed to Know I Learned from Metalocalypse” list I found on the internet. It may not be funny if you don’t know the show, but I think it’s great, so deal with it.

Oh, and if you ever hear some random, totally irrelevant quote from me, it’s probably from this show.

Snazzy.

Most commercials suck. This one doesn’t. This one’s freaking awesome, and whenever it comes on I have to stop what I’m doing and pay attention to it.

Why is it awesome?

a) music from The Four Seasons

b) it’s an attention-grabber because of its sheer visual coolness

c) it’s not stupid like the majority of commercials out there
Observe!

This makes me want to make a Flash.

“There’s no such thing as trolls.” “Well then how do you explain the dead unicorns?”

So I’m totally cool when I’m working for 9 hours a day at a school I hate.

And I’m totally cool with messing with my brain by staying up till four on weekends when I usually go to bed at midnight now.

I’m also totally cool with watching 5+ episodes of Metalocalypse every night.

And thinking constantly about the free will vs. determinism argument.

But combining all four things? Wow…I think it’s making me insane.

I haven’t been this hyper in a long time…I’m shaky, jumpy, and I can’t keep my mind on a task for very long because I feel like I want to do about 7,000 different things right now.

HOORAY BLOGGING!

HOORAY INVINCIBILITY!

DO YOU FOLKS LIKE COFFEE?!

Wow.

I am in love with Metalocalypse. That show is freaking amazing. I watched it once when it first aired and didn’t like it, but I watched the one tonight and a bunch of clips on YouTube and realized that it’s hilarious. I shall buy the first season on DVD.

And Brittany, I concur…Aqua Teen Hunger Force rocks.

But no show is better than Metalocalypse. At least, no show that’s still on TV.

Metalocalypse is the Leibniz of TV.

Yeah, I totally just made that comparison.

The history books, they’ve got it all wrong!

You guys, I just witnessed what is possibly both the most disturbing, strangest, and, in some spots, most hilarious 5 minutes of any Captain Planet episode ever made. Check it out.

The dialogue is genius. If I didn’t know Captain Planet, I would swear this was a parody. Yeah, it’s that bad. Or good, I can’t decide.

Best parts:
“Stop bidding against me or I will invade you!” (This rivals “asscockshitrapeFUCK” for me)

“Heil, Fuhrer, baby!”

“Just what do you think you’re doing, shorty?”

The fact that there are like twenty windows in that castle and Captain Planet decides to go through the solid stone wall instead (3:37). This had me on the floor laughing, literally. Use a freaking window, dude! And then he breaks the ceiling later.

“I’ve heard of neutron bombs, atomic bombs, and even smart bombs! But there’s no such thing as a good bomb!” No wiser words have been spoken in so strange a manner, my dear Captain.

And this one comment I found regarding the ending:
CAPTAIN P: “Oh, there’s the time hole thing!”
PLANETEERS: “Well, gee, Cap. While we’re here, do you think we could use our Ancient Elemental Powers of Asskicking to stop the Holocaust? Or the bombing of Pearl Harbor? Or the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Or…”
CAPTAIN P.: “TIME HOLE THING! GET IN RIGHT NOW! GO PLANET!!!”

This was awesome.
