The comedic Roast of EoFF

[Mercen-X]

((Search result = notta))

So I just finished watching Comedy Central's Roast of Pamela Anderson not more than an hour and 18 minutes and 31 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . aaargh!, so forth seconds ago. Lightning struck my sensitive area . . . my brain, and I had an catastrophe. "What if we had an annual Roast of the Eyes On Final Fantasy Forums?"

The idea got me so excited, I had a wet dream just thinking about it. :lol:
Imagine the fun we could have, all the laughs from a 3-day-long thread taking cheap shots at people we barely know. :lol:

Actually, I got the idea (after watching the Roast) after replying to a post about whether there were Continue Plus options in FF7. -N- replied something and I quoted him and told a joke. It may not have been funny but it got me thinking . . . uh-oh!

We could Roast the goers and the comers and the dearly departed, the hizzles, the fizzles, and the G-double-bizzles, and let's not forget the people who run this place . . . yeah, you know who I'm talking about . . . :joey: . . . yeah . . . me, Mercen-X, myself and the http://img214.echo.cx/img214/9206/knights9bg.gif.

Seriously though, where would we be without the CK's and the Admins. We certainly wouldn't have Superman and who doesn't need added minutes for their phone?

That sounds too open to flaming :(

[Meat Puppet]

what the hell

[Mercen-X]

That sounds too open to flaming :(
Roasts are regulated though. People never hire any random idiot off the street to perform a roast. These would be people you could trust to bring the joke and leave the insult at the door. Like Loony BoB. I feel I also would qualify as I am non-bias toward anyone. I hate everyone at these forums. :lol: You see how good I am at this? It wouldn't be open to flaming if we regulated who was allowed to roast.

It would go: Pre-thread: Post if you want to roast Eyes On (and Eyes On Members). The Forums (Admins, CKs, and members alike) will decide who best to hear from via voting. The votes should be about who here doesn't have personal quarrels with anybody else and would be able to dish out the "all-in-good-fun" insults for everybody equally. Actually, the best jokes aren't even insults, they're actually just funny tidbits of truth. Things that you know or speculate through hearsay about a particular.

It's something I believe we should at least try and if it should go down the tubes, so be it, we don't have to try it again. But hey, some hick was allowed to filter nin-ja to pirate, I think we could try this, okay?

I THINK YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF JERKS.

I think the idea is interesting enough to not shoot down in my first post. Maybe my second. I'll see what other people think.

[Peegee]

I say yes, except that grumbly Dr Unne. What a ham :D

[Master Quan]

Are you meant to be some kind of hilarious parody?

Because I'm not laughing.

[Meat Puppet]

I, however, am.

[Old Manus]

I HATE YOU ALL

Really.

[eestlinc]

As long as Homer Simpson doesn't do it.

Sounds fun, maybe. I enjoy making light of the imperfections of others.

YOUR AVATAR IS OF POOR QUALITY, AS PIXELATION IS EVIDENT.

[eestlinc]

man i suck

[Hawkeye]

Tee hee eestlinc sucks

Yeah, this sounds like fun. Flamming=hot

[Master Quan]

Tee hee eestlinc sucks

You just took it TOO far.

[Meat Puppet]

Hawkeye has brilliant eyes
eestlinc has a breath taking posture
Master Quan has a voice that turns members of the opposite sex into his slaves

Is that how it works?

MEATPUPPET IS TRYING TO BE COMEDICALLY IRONIC.

LAMENTABLY MEATPUPPET HAS FAILED.

[Old Manus]

If you have to tell lies about about someone, Puppet got it spot on there.

[Psychotic]

eestlinc isn't a nice person.

I'm good at this!

[eestlinc]

ITS FUNNY BECAUSE ITS TRUE!

[Mercen-X]

Roast sample:
Meat Puppet has spammed more times than Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson have had sex. That's incredible!
Squall of SeeD knows so much about Final Fantasy, it's not a leap to assume he has no life outside of it.
Mercen-X is such a freakin' anal-compulsive bastard, he edits your posts when you're talking in person.

Tada!

[eestlinc]

hmm

[XxSephirothxX]

It doesn't sound like that bad of an idea, although I doubt it could measure up to that one Something Awful gave the entire forum a couple years back.

[Ryth]

Sounds like a really good idea I should've thought of it! I hope we do it, it sounds really cool I would love that :D

[Meat Puppet]

there's a 50% chance that eestlinc had a pet rabbit
Sephiroth. has a period in his name
Azar something about eyebrows
Mercen-X has a - in his name

I'm not very good at this. :(

[eestlinc]

this thread is for the consideration of whether we would have an EoFF comedy roast, not to try to do one yourself.

[Old Manus]

The choices are Yes, No, Maybe, :monster:, and RSL.

[-N-]

I didn't see you quote me. :o

Not true! I found those all VERY offensive. You just need a little bit more confidence.

[Old Manus]

I didn't see you quote me. :o

What? Have you said this before?

[Master Quan]

So, when you say "roast", do you mean, completely utterly out of line insults? Or like, lighthearted "Oh boy, those Cid's Knights sure are silly!" kind of stuff?

[-N-]

I didn't see you quote me. :o

What? Have you said this before?Oh no, sorry, I was referring to Mercen-X's first post.

[Old Manus]

Shame.

[Mercen-X]

I didn't see you quote me. :o
Right. I deleted it because Falgraia or whoever seemed to have ignored the post. I remember it said I just finished watching Spamela Anderslut . . . er, The Roast of Pamela Anderson

For reference, I said, "-N- is one of those X-2 bashing bastards that doesn't consider it to be a real Final Fantasy" in regard to it's New Game Plus feature.

[-N-]

Actually, I've just never played it and thus resort to stereotypes about it. :D

[Yamaneko]

Just slip it into normal conversation like I do with Wesley.

[Hawkeye]

This idea needs to be made out and made so I can bitch about my least favorite moderator(s) with wity smart ass remarks

[Mercen-X]

Thing y'all should know is that the heart of roast is the intention of making people laugh, not hurting people's feelings. You have watch your boundaries. If you deliberately hurt someone with one of your jokes or ignore the fact they might find it offensive, I'm pretty sure you'll still get warned if not banned

and I'd be happy to see these people go 'cause they're obviously rude and inconsiderate.

[Ryth]

Sephiroth. has a period in his name


Ah man that cold.... :cry: You're so cruel... :cry:

[Raistlin]

It doesn't sound like that bad of an idea, although I doubt it could measure up to that one Something Awful gave the entire forum a couple years back.
That article sucked big time, though.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

One of the reasons I stay here is because it's like a constant Weekend Web.

[Psychotic]

Or it would be if we had more furries.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I'd already be gone if it were like that kind of Weekend Web.

[Del Murder]

Like eest said, please keep these posts on discussing why or why not to have a roast and not start one yourselves.

This would be pretty good if done right, but that will not happen, so I'm going to have to say no. You'd need people like BoB or kishi or Psychotic to do the roasting because everyone likes them and they have enough wit to be comical without taking it too far.

[eestlinc]

exactly. you guys aren't helping your cause with your posts in this thread.

[-N-]

Not to be immodest, but I think I'm fairly capable of doing something like that myself. Hell, what do you think this whole questionnaire debacle is all about?

edit: Obviously, this makes KB qualified since he co-authored the descriptions.

[Doomie]

Neel has more chest hair than a Russian woman! ZING!

Roasts sound like fun. I approve!

[-N-]

Well, I am brown. :D

[eestlinc]

I'm not saying Neel is incontinent...

[-N-]

Ooooh, that's one joke area I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.

[eestlinc]

Do either of you even know what incontinent means?

[-N-]

If I'm saying something like that, what the hell do you think? :rolleyes2

[Erdrick Holmes]

I hate you all.

[eestlinc]

If I'm saying something like that, what the hell do you think? :rolleyes2
It's a Simpsons quote.

[Del Murder]

Yeah, I got it the first time you used it.

[eestlinc]

I know you did.

[Del Murder]

I wouldn't mind seeing prinz running this thing either. I think who ever were the roasters would have to be approved by staff, if the event even gets approved in the first place.

[-N-]

If I'm saying something like that, what the hell do you think? :rolleyes2It's a Simpsons quote.Sorry, I missed it. (doesn't know Simpsons as well)

edit: Yeah Del, I wouldn't mind participating. But then again, how would this thing be run? Wouldn't it just be a handful of selected people posting in a thread that others could only view? That would be kinda antithetical to what a forum is and how it's run. Chat would be a better place, but then again, it's still open to the public and flaming. Maybe it should just be an elitist gathering or something. :p

[Del Murder]

The eyeson ff roast! Post in this thread if you want to be roasted!

Or something like that. This idea gets dumber as time passes.

[Yamaneko]

Anything organized where people try to be clever usually falls flat on its face.

[eestlinc]

a couple members could each independently write up some roasts and then someone could post them.

[Jojee]

I volunteer to be the poster ;) *lazy*

[Mercen-X]

Wouldn't it just be a handful of selected people posting in a thread that others could only view? That would be kinda antithetical to what a forum is and how it's run.
We have things already in which only a few can participate. We could consider it a competition. Those who make the members laugh the hardest without hurting any feelings will receive the intangible "Funniest Roaster" award. People could post in the roast thread their opinions of the jokes and whatnot. My suggestion is that each roaster would get all that he/she had to say out in one post long or short. One post is where each roaster would have their say, no matter who they're talking about.
It's easy enough for members like me to look through the threads and see the funny things that can be said about people without hurting them, because those respective people honestly think it funny as well.
You see? A roast isn't about making everybody else laugh at somebody. A roast is about making somebody laugh at themself.

[Old Manus]

oh god i r funny

[Meat Puppet]

I vote ban Master Quan :smash:

[Master Quan]

Hahaha, what?

[theundeadhero]

Cid's Knights are like Shinra.
They get in the way.

*Banned*

[Resha]

Sounds fun! :-D

[Master Quan]

So? Are we doing it or WHAT?

[-N-]

WHAT

[Sepho]

I don't know guys :(

[Resha]

WHAT? :(

[Old Manus]

He knows girls instead

[Hawkeye]

I know YOUR girls

tee hee

Perhaps we should just pick people if this were to get underway that have been here more than a year. Someone familiar with the members and such

[Strider]

I have a bad feeling about this...

[eestlinc]

yea, I'm not feeling it.

[Meat Puppet]

It was like that time we were going into that cave to get treasure, and then that guy said I got a bad feeling about this guys! and he sat it out and then me, the fat kid, the girl I like with black hair and my best friend went in the cave and left that guy outside of the cave and when we were about to get the treasure this half man half ogre captured us and ate most of our bodies and we able to survive just long enough to crawl out of the cave and get laughed at by the guy with glasses who decided not to go in and then he got the treasure from our cold dead hands.

[Hawkeye]

Yeah, THANKS FOR WASTING 15 SECONDS OF MY LIFE

You'll be hearing from my lawyer

[Doomie]

*Does impression of Neel*

I'm Mr. -N-, blah blah blah, do this, do that, blah blah blah...

[eestlinc]

yea Neel hasn't seen that episode, as I've demonstrated in this thread already.

[-N-]

Yeah, leave me out of your Simpsons in-jokes already. :mad2:
