Breakfast with Joanne. Not bad.
Two reasons:
1) I, and probably many people with me, don\’t really get the meaning of the lyrics, but still \”Chocolate rain\” sounds kind of funny. I think it has some sort of political meaning, but just look at the Dr Pepper commercial. All possible seriousness is replaced with humour.
2) The geekiness. He somehow looks like a pure incarnation of geekiness. Never understimate a geek with skills.
or when your favorite artist dies and you drop the pot of coffee all over the kitchen floor and don\’t even care about mopping it up…
JMH >>>RIP
The end of \”Riviera Paradise,\” the last cut on \”In Step\” by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, which was shipping when he died. I agree, that emptiness, that reaching out for more, even if you know there is no more. Amen
Yatta, are you trying your hand at product placement with that bottle?!
I did have to rub my eyes a few times, splash water on my face, and finally have to conclude it is due to over indulgence in Holiday Yule Cheer that Joanne appears out of focus today! Come to think of it so does everything else around me. Anyways; another great Meme analysis this morning! Thank you Internet Scientists!
Cheers!
I was wondering what the bottle was about too.
Please explain Yatta! :D
The real question is what was *in* the bottle and where did it go? :-p
I hope, for the sake of all concerned, that there was absinthe in that bottle.
There is nothing sadder than mistaking a blip in the interest of the masses for talent. This is Exhibit A that raising such a blip doesn’t take much.
It’s funny when some stuck-up blogger gets a little spotlight and concludes he or she is now a star. Or rather, what funny is watching the looks on their faces when the parade passes them by.
When it’s a guy with a keyboard, it’s just sad.
On to the next prairie dog!
When it’s a guy with a chocolate keyboard, it’s even sadder, especially if he’s in a parade & it’s raining!
hey, it’s Friday…
Hey Kam, someone licked off the score…must\’ve been Joanne.
I think the bottle is a subtle reference to the TV ad for Dr Pepper.
Hmmm… I found the most out of place line in that video: “Ohio’s agriculture’s based on grains”
Wtf?
More disturbing than the twenty seconds of chocolate “money shots” at the end? Frankly, that whole segment was a little too “2girls1cup” for me.
Man those parody videos are intense - the Darth Vader one is the best. “An old lady hit me with her purse, um…, chocolate rain”.
What’s with the squirrel getting hit with a load of chocolate at the end of the Dr. Pepper video?
“This internet thing is wild”.
Nice choice Team Rocketboom!
wakey wakey

Me thinks that someone needs to nominate Elspeth!!
Hrmph. Why no one is nominating Jamie, Andrew or I is beyond me. (Except that we don’t stand a chance against “Casey Rosenberg”)
Maybe high heels and fish net stockings might improve your chances. Oh yah, and the obligatory garter belt…why not enter as a trio

Not enough cleavage Amanda…you know the game by now. RBers used to froth over your t-shirts. Glad those dumbass comments are a thing of the past. Wonder why?
His voice is low is because he\’s like a 30 year old black guy. Just looks young.
He injects himself with testosterone every morning and gargles with minced garlic and cigarette butts.
My question is whether Tay Zonday will become the Rickroll of 2008…
Tay Zonday covers Never Gonna Give You Up
Rickro…OH SHI-!

btw, (via:digg) here’s proof that TV is where memes go when they die (skip forward to about a minute in):
A+ for enthusiasm from the TV crew.
The weather goes casual friday…zzzzzzzz
I prefer Naked News….where what you focus on is optional.
WilliamShatner Roast (Mr. Star Trek)
Warning: Profanity–Lots of it, but hilarious
STOP BUYING RECORDS PERIOD. FUCK THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. SUPPORT INDEPENDENTS WHO SELL THEIR OWN MUSIC. FUCK THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
In legal documents in its federal case against Jeffrey Howell, a Scottsdale, Ariz., man who kept a collection of about 2,000 music recordings on his personal computer, the industry maintains that it is illegal for someone who has legally purchased a CD to transfer that music into his computer.
My man-B, puff a fatty or something but youze gots to tone it down a notch bro, you’re stressing way too much!
Thanks Internet Scientists. Funny stuff. :)
That brown bottle was disturbing, though.
I love how in the Jimmy Kimmel clip, they pick the ONE view of people looking bemused/bored/disgusted.
Only TV people could manage to stage it so that all the things that made it so successul were absent.
The VHS quality & washed out beige of the video, the awkwardness of his posture, his geekiness and babyface all juxtaposed with the Barry Whiteness of that voice, so that you think it must be dubbed over.
All lost when you plonk him on a dark stage sitting behind a keyboard facing an audience who are expecting another YouTube freakshow. Way to go, TV people. I’ll see you in the unemployment line.

Must be TazeOn\’s low voice it\’s driving me batty plus the fact that I\’ve had no heat in my place for 3 weeks and feel like I\’m living in an igloo. Yeah, that\’ll stress you out.
Well Happy New Year Folks…here is my favorite bass player of all-time. Enjoy yourselves. Think I\’ll go sit on a candle or somethin\’….
Yikes, they could put me away for life!
Be careful, \”Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, or you\’ll burn your ass\”
Although you\’re more than welcome to spend some time here in the 80+ weather in a tent in my yard.
Root for Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl, although they ain\’t got a prayer of winning.
& HNY to all!
Ellie, get the mistletoe ready…
lp
In a tent? In your yard? With Ellie?
Be there tonight Kam!!! And I may never leave.
Can I bring along Joanne if she brings along some mistletoe too?
What’s that Steve? Oh, you wanted to say something to the not as yet wasted RBers, well ok, but make it quick, I have a plane to catch.

Yes. twas a forced meme
a lot of meme’s make it big on 4chan
4chan is like… the basis for every meme ever.
Wow. I knew that Tay performed on TV, but I didn’t know that they cancelled him early. That’s so fucked up. Didn’t they know what to expect? Perhaps they didn’t know that this song is a meme, that’s why it’s so popular and has gotten so many views.
Well of course the people on the show doesn’t know about fucking memes. theyre old and shit. they dont understand the concept.
its fucking sad.
rule one and two

What’s a 4chan? Well, sit yourself right down and let me explain it to you:
GET THE FUCK OUT MY INTERBUTTS
They dropped /cake/ to get rid of all the fucking pedos. Gtfo of our internets.
What about all the white hate? ED hates everyone equally. Calm down.
I lol at racism against me. All power to the lulz.
“experts on Encyclopedia Dramatica”

Wow, all i asked is a simple question, then everyone gets mad at me.

HOLY FUCK. These folks have it all wrong.
All memes past 2004 originated from FUCKING 4CHAN!
4CHAN!
NOT YOUTUBE! 4CHAN!
AND WTF ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA?
O RLY?
Oj, shut up, oldfag.
naw, you shut up pedo, and get the fuck out of my interwebs. Anon needs a cleansing of all the sick fucks that are the true cancer.
A new inner crusade, a follow up to brb church, but with eyes turned inwards. If anon is the collective human conscious then you are a part of the infection of the collective human mind. Expect to be v&.
Ah, I see… You think I’m some sort of /b/tard. Well, I’m not. In fact, I haven’t visited that shithole in quite some time.
Give the superiority complex thing a rest. You are just as bad as the rest of them simply because you’re in denial… The sooner off you realize that, the better off you’ll be. I even smell the legion stench in your comment, goddamn…
look up richard sterban here on youtube and say it’s impossible to sing that low, then come back to me.
They are the spawn of 4chan. Trust me, you’re better off not knowing that wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Classic meme. I like the trollcat version, too.
