does ilx need separate excelsior threads for american people and british people (aka culture shock funniez poll)

don't think DJ Martian is really country-specific in terms of funnies even if his chosen obsession is

What those threads really need is either to not exist or for people to not cut and paste every mildly humorous post they read into it

you are only supposed to c/p posts that literally make you laugh out loud

LITERALLY

funny

option 3 obviously correct even though I don't know who YOU is referring to.

I think people basically need to get over that urge to say "OMG BEST THING EVER" and create this hysterical Emperor's New Clothes cult around every funny Internet picture or grammatically awkward quote from a weird/insane dude, I mean we're all bored office workers but some of us manage to occupy ourselves in a constructive way, like starting 15+ "Your favourite jokes about" threads containing nothing puns and dogshit non-sequiturs

i agree with MPx4A. apart from the last bit.

n/a why are you even reading that world cup 2010 thread?

uh i'm not, i'm reading the excelsior thread

why though?

I don't even know if blueski is joking and I'm British.

jokes bruv

we already have "excelsior" and "final lolution"

sorry i didn't know the pinefox had quoted martian on the excelsior thread, as he did the same thing on the wc10 thread

Someone needs to ban that dude to send a message out that C+P meta humour is discourage

d

trayce is australian so this is kind of a moot point.

time to start quoting all kinds of random mundane posts on excelsior i reckon

we already do this

lol the britishes and their soccerballs

i can't post on final lolution though, banned from noize board

won't somebody think about me?

DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME
DON'T DON'T DON'T
DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME

I preferred the version they did for the Scottish Milk Marketing Board advert:

DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT MILK
DRINK A PINT EVERY DAY
IT'S VERY GOOD FOR YOU

in a terrible sub-Jim Kerr voice. Some footballers were involved.

what happened is that ilx got its eternal september a few years late, that's all

and here I was, just about to start a 'your favourite Captain Beefheart jokes" thread...

I'd prefer it if you started one on "your favourite Sham 69 jokes."

DJP's original post by some distance the funniest thing on this thread so far.

Or DJM, even.

People who don't get DJ Martian wouldn't get PG Wodehouse either.

freudian slip! (xpost)

dj wodehouse

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Why do I always get brought up in these discussions when I really dont post excelsiors all that often at all?

Probably the same reason I'm the only person ever referenced when discussing the thought-police fascists that run this joint

that reason being LBZC, like most common criminals, are naturally lazy
abahahahahaha.

Everyone ilxor is bent on ruining ilx. Later they sober up.

Trayce doesn't really excelsior that much guyz

love how this thread assumes everyone is either british or american

everyone is, in their minds

AA, everyone knows there are just two kinds of people in the world: those who graciously accept their essential british or american identity, and those who don't.

we need three excelsior threads

one for americans
one for british soccer LOLs
and one for trayce

(sorry i am taking the piss now)

Hahahah :)

final lolution
a lol of our own

^^ second thread has Trayce seal of disapproval

everyone in the world acts like americans anyway so fair point

Gah Crut dont remind me of my silly outburst on that one ;_;

a british person would never have started this thread. that's all i'm saying yeah?

wait are you saying that US ILX has a rod up its ass about England

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

8 americans don't get british cultural references and don't want to learn

What about all the others?

Wait I am totally confused by this poll.

Oh, it says ruining, not running.

why are the americans having difficulty understanding the joke?

should i have started a poll to understand that question? i don't really understand how things are done around here.
