my toxic trait is that I think those uwu trans girl memes that 19 year olds on reddit make are pretty funny
this is comedy gold to me
when i first started watching Tis Time For Torture, Princess i was like "hahaha i get it instead of inflicting pain they're torturing her with delayed gratification" and then i was like "damn i need a meal in front of me when i watch this cause its starting to affect me." and now every damn time i watch it i mourn something that was never mine, my heart aching as i myself feel like the true prisoner as I watch little by little as the princess rebuilds her empathy and childlike wonder, surrounding herself with friends that care about and care for her, making happy memories. WHY DONT I GET TAKEN TO A HOTSPRING BY A GIANT LADY THAT LETS ME CALL HER MOMMY?! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!!! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!!!!! WHY COULDN'T THAT BE ME????!!!
I unironically really enjoy the opera-rap + tuba sections.
Okay so it’s finals season which means I’ve cracked and need to go on my ramble about one of my favorite pieces of music of all time: The Most Unwanted Song.
The thing about this song isn’t that it’s bad. It’s a special kind of horrific. It’s so bad it crosses the invisible artistic barrier and becomes brilliant. And it was designed for that.
See back in the 1990s these two artists decided to make a series of paintings (I promise it’s connected). Graphic designers Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid sat down to create the “best” and “worst” paintings based on opinion polls. There’s commentary about public opinion in there, but that’s not the point right now. The point is, they were approached by a gallery owner and asked to make a CD using the same principle.
So they started polling people. Turns out, the American public, when asked about what they hate in music, has a lot of answers. Winning answers included bagpipes, opera, rap, intellectually stimulating music (hah!), cowboy music, swearing in music, long songs, songs about America, children’s choirs, advertising jingles, and accordions.
And then they set out to put all those things into one song with the help of Dave Soldier.
And boy did they succeed.
In order to make this song work, they couldn’t just have all the individual elements working separately. There wasn’t time for that, and they would have lost a lot of unity. So they went the inventive direction. So that’s why we have a opera-rap soprano singing lyrics with casual profanity about being a cowboy and philosophical discussions. That’s how we get this:
It’s 22 minutes long. 22 minutes to consider your place in the universe.
People also hate politics in songs, so at the end someone screams a protest rant through a bullhorn. At one point it sounds like someone is throwing up in the background.
The best part of this, of course is that it was done by professional musicians. It’s pretty clear that they know what they’re doing and are choosing to do it really really badly. It adds to that flavor of chaos.
I genuinely believe that everyone should listen to this song at least once. If nothing else, it will be funny.

diet talk is so inexpressibly nonsensical the instant you know anything about "the human body" or "nutrition" or if you think about it for three seconds
Still doing this. They usually reply with a non sequitur like "How much are they charging you?"
When the Spectrum™ people at the grocery store try to stop me and sell me subpar internet service, I've made a habit of replying "I'm already on the spectrum!"
