Todd In The Shadows Thread

Novel idea: Don't be a dick.

Spoiler: Maskless Todd looks like the fat asian kid meme.

(But only with the mussed hair and really peculiar angle)

I'm a skeptical squirrel

I wonder if this means he'll have to re-record the episode or he'll have to use some effect to darken it.

It was only like 10 seconds of the video, so I assume he just rerecorded it.

Also, I deleted the picture. The guilt was eating away at me.

He'll kill us, we know to much

Life's Gonna Suck When You Grow Up... But Is It That Great Now?... Also I'm Skylark2 now.

Mistletoe.

And a million fanfics were written...

The second I heard this song, I knew: this is everything Todd hates wrapped up like a present and tied with a little bow.

The Philosopher-King Paradox

I actually hadn't heard "Mistletoe" before...and at the beginning of the video, when Todd was playing it on the piano, I was singing along the lyrics of "I'm Yours".

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Yes, I think Todd pointed out that it was effectively I'm Yours in the review.

I actually liked "I'm Yours" and Justin Bieber's voice has become less annoying, so this song is more profoundly bland to me than rage-inducing.

Kill all math nerds

@0dd1, Well listening to this song and Lighters, I've come to the conclusion that they are four chord songs. My sister and I just sang along to them using the Axis Of Awesome's four chord song compilation and they match perfectly. I'm Yours included.

The Blog The Art

I love that song. It's always weird when I hear the actual songs, and I try to sing along, because I use the Axis Of Awesome's lyrics...

oddly

At least the chorus has more than one line ("with you, with you, shawty with you/ under the mistletoe" by google). so, it's two lines, but is better than eenie-meenie-miney-mo-lover.

besides, this song is so bland that you can't really feel anything for it - it's just there, could be worst.

if i had something clever to say here, i'd sell it

What's funny, is I pull up this review the day I first heard "James Penguin".

Which I now hope becomes a seminal Christmas Classic. May it give Todd some hope. XD

@Mousa: Oh, no, I realize that it's an insanely common chord progression*

. Just the way that the chords were played are more or less exactly the same.

@Old Man: Which is why I spoilered that in my comment.

I knew the moment the song turned out to be a "white guy with accoustic guitar" song that Todd would rip it to shreds. I still don't understand the hatred of a million George Foreman grills that he has for that specific sub-genre, but it's still guarenteed that Todd wouldn't disappoint. Nicely done.

I hate those songs too. They make me sleepy and bored out of my little mind.

oddly

I personally don't care enough about that lil' sub-genre to sway one way or the other. Most of the bad ones tend to be either really boring or really sappy, and even then I don't think they're as heinous as Todd's been known to make them out to be.

Wonder how he feels about the white chick with guitar subgenre.

ophelia, you're breaking my heart

I'll say this, after sharing a dorm with a guy who seems to play the guitar just to get laid, I can sympathize with Todd about the genre. Not that I completely agree, but I can see how it comes off as douchey.

I almost wish I could find that clip of Lea DeLaria saying, “How many of you are seeing a lesbian with an acoustic guitar and are suddenly real scared? It’s all right, I just always wanted to do this...” Then she smashes the guitar.

Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883!

I was always more bothered by the fuckers who think they're smooth 'cause they can tickle the ivories. Like their moms' belligerent badgering to keep up with their piano lessons for years on end entitles 'em to some poon. Guitarists are way nicer.

Except pianos are a lot harder to transport so you're less likely to run into a piano playing deuche.

Well, there are keyboards, which are much more portable.

Let's just agree to hate all musicians who only learn their instrument (hehe) just to get laid and don't put any actual effort into gaining much skill with the instrument beyond maybe learning three chords.

Insert witty reference to Bruno Mars' "Grenade" video here.

the statement above is false
