The Official Unofficial That Guy with the Glasses Thread.

*rolls eyes at self* I wouldn't have thought it possible for someone to simultaneously remind me of Gollum and turn me on like a cheap vacuum cleaner, but there he is. Stupid glowy eyes and cute floppy hair and those glasses that he's wearin' in the intro sometimes and the smash-y hammer and why does he have to have a girlfriend already? Why?

(Okay, now have I killed it with awkward? )

Woman, I will not let you out-awkward me. While it doesn't actually turn me on (there's only a couple ways he could do that and I don't see him doing either anytime soon), I do enjoy, to some degree, the videos in which he's eating something. Maybe it's the fact that it makes it feel less like some dude on the Internet talking at me and more like hanging out with a friend, having some snacks and chillin', and I like that personal, friendly kind of feel, or maybe it's just knowing he's enjoying food he loves, but it makes me smile. Or maybe it's just a latent love of Big Eaters, who knows.

Awkward-mobile, hoooo!

I love Big Eaters! I actually squee'd out-loud, no joke, when he mentioned he couldn't cook but loved eating. *laughs evilly and waves cast-iron frying pan around*

Your awkward-mobile is no match for my Shii-sound-effect plane!

Out-awkwarding? Wow.

Yeah, apparently this is the kind of shit I care about.

Or just a snarky way to ensure Furiko feels comfortable discussing things with me so I can lure her into my FIENDISH TRAP and enact my MASTER PLAN of BEING FRIENDS WITH HER HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*glomps the hell out of you* And here I thought I was the only person who dolloped out heaping spoonfuls of cleverness in the vain hopes of getting people to like me!

We should get a room or something. Last time I made friends with someone on this forum, I was shipped.

It felt weird.

You get used to it. Or maybe that's just me.

(obligatory YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! etc.)

Oh hey there was a topic here other than me trying to make friends, wasn't there.

So what's up with the way That Guy With The Glasses says "FUCK" during the "alligator and deer" question in the latest video? It sounds like he squawks it or something.

Spoony's let's plays are pretty entertaining, his Phantasmagoria runthrough, for example, is a four-and-a-half-hour-long piece of awesome.

I love that LP. I'm not sure any LP Spoony does can ever match it; the game was just too perfect for MST purposes, it had so much comedic fodder: the inexplicable desire of everyone to get in Curtis' pants, Curtis' incredible set of psychological hang-ups, the complete dullness of every character except for the awesomeness that is Trevor, the terrible puzzles, the fact that Paul Warner is perhaps the most Obviously Evil character in any videogame and the OTT asshole behaviour of the dreaded Bob. It's fantastic.

*jovially nudges Sparky in the side*

I was going to make a joke yesterday about how there's only really one Linkara fangirl here, but I figured I'd just let you two continue.

Just watching Jack Frost, and the joke about Entrepreneur Magazine was somewhat funny.

Sweet. Linkara gave a Shout-Out to Camelot.

Which really Needs More Love.

I'm a little teapot short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout. When I get all steamed up, here my shout. Tip me over and pour me out. Hail Satan.

Wait. He managed to go an entire review of a guy who turns into a snowman and there is not even a single trace of "I WAS FROZEN TODAY!"?

...wow.

Not only that, but he brought back an older joke I never expected to see again.

Which was...?

Glossing over a death by cutting to the Bambi scene, from Top 11 Saddest Nostalgic Moments.

Speaking of which, how long has it been since we've had a top 11 from him? I wonder if he's planning one for this month.

Last one I remember was the Fuckups list.

edit: Just checked. It is.

I completely forgot about "I WAS FROZEN TODAY," but you're right, it does seem like an almost glaring omission in retrospect. Maybe he wants to make sure it doesn't become an Overused Running Gag too quickly. (M. Bison, I'm looking at you.)

Maybe it was a Stealth Pun?

Well, there's a Top 12 Next Best Christmas Specials, does that count?

I never minded the heavy use of Bison because the context in which it was used was basically pointing out a trope use that borders on cliche.

Having sat through the entire Star Wars Holiday Special, I can't wait for him to do it. The 22nd can't come quickly enough.
