Taken from "Storm"
[–]letreepuncher 15 points16 points17 points 10 months ago
Thank you for posting this. It's been almost a month since I'd seen it last, and I have to admit it's one of my favorite videos ever.
[–]Kache 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
I never understood the last line:
We'd as well be 10 minutes back in time for all the chance you'll change your mind.
[–]VeryLittle 3 points4 points5 points 10 months ago
She's still going to hold fast to her beliefs with no regard for his arguments or evidence, so he pretty much just wasted 10 minutes.
Hmm... So how does amend any offenses he's made?
[–]iLike_Kittehs 4 points5 points6 points 10 months ago
It's basically an "If it's any consolation, you never cared about what I just said anyhow"
[–]Tarkanos 2 points3 points4 points 10 months ago
I'm pretty sure it's another Shakespeare reference and calls on that little joke (Ending of Midsummer Night's Dream, if I'm right) for its meaning. If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream.
[–]tashtrac 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Except for the misquotation. "Has turned out to be... not magic". Also, this one is far better.
[–]Okhranka 53 points54 points55 points 10 months ago
At least until the monsters started getting 'real.' That kinda ruined it for me...
[–]NinjaTheNick 26 points27 points28 points 10 months ago
You have to admit, zombie island WAS fucking groundbreaking.
[–]crackshot91 5 points6 points7 points 10 months ago
Zombie Island was fucking astounding as a kid. I still have the VHS, actually. I don't have a player though. :(
[–]gandrews426 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
Zombie Island actually scared me as a kid. It was insane!
[–]filthysize 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
You guys should check out Mystery Inc.

But fiction seen in every other ghost cartoons. Scooby Doo was the only one with an inquiring bent and no deux ex machina.
To be fair though, the original Scooby Doo didn't have real ghost, the spinoffs did.
[–]neoman4426 2 points3 points4 points 10 months ago
There always were real ones, they just never turned out to be the one that was actually doing anything. Quite a few early episodes had Shaggy and Scooby running in to actual magic stuff while goofing off/looking, but neither of them noticing. Like one where Shaggy reads from a spellbook and starts looking all demonic and laughing about how silly it was, then reading another passage and turning back before Scooby saw.
[–]keeferc 16 points17 points18 points 10 months ago
I don't know who this guy is, but he kind of looks like Lindsay Lohan with a beard. Doesn't he?
[–]Madness_As_Muse 3 points4 points5 points 10 months ago
I can see that. He's a pretty good entertainer though. He does beat poetry and sings skeptical or otherwise satirical show tunes. Dawkins endorses him, that how I first found him.
[–]qrutto 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
My first thoughts exactly!
[–]atheistpickle 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
Took the words right outta my... off of... away from my fingers. Upvote for you sir!
[–]HandsOfNod 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
He is Tim Minchin.
[–]YourKidsRNotSpecial 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I stared at this picture for about 10 seconds thinking it was a photoshop, expecting the text to be related to Lohan with a beard.
[–]verbose_gent -1 points0 points1 point 10 months ago
I think he got some PR people to work on social media, so get ready to keep running into this shit. This is poignant, but hardly as profound or original as it was trying to be.
I have no idea who he is either, but this is the second or third submission with him in it this week.
[–]contextual_entity 4 points5 points6 points 10 months ago*
He's an Australian atheist comedian/musician. His other material included the enviroment, his family, boobs and the music industry. He's in the middle of a US tour and making headlines for being blatently atheist in Texas or something.
I like him, he's not uproariously funny, but he's consistantly entertaining and memorable.
Edit: Spelling fail.
[–]nonsensepoem 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
To be fair, he did reinvent himself shortly after being "discovered" by a British talent scout when he won a national contest. That process included frying his hair and abusing eyeliner. Without all of that stuff, he looks like your garden variety curly-headed ginger**.
** I can say "ginger," as I'm part ginger myself. ;)
[–]Karnadas 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I wish I could say that word. I'll just have to stick with Ginga, I guess. Thing is, I prefer red hair!
[–]ikidd 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
"Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger"
[–]gandrews426 4 points5 points6 points 10 months ago
Fucking love this guy. His more recent song about God curing his friend Sam's mom is spot on! It can be found on his recent TV special, "Tim Minchin vs The Syndey Symphony Orchestra"
[–]singletracks 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
I love that one! It was on youtube for a while, but got pulled for being too awesome for the internets. Or maybe they had a legit reason...
[–]eaglebacon 6 points7 points8 points 10 months ago
Not to piss anyone off but I truly thought this was a photoshopped picture of Lindsay Lohan.
[–]NakedFrenchman 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
cannot. unsee.
[–]BustyMetropolis 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
I... am somehow MORE attracted to him now...
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 10 months ago
I love this dude. If you can believe it, my 5th grade music teacher introduced me to his music. She showed us the song F Sharp, for obvious reasons. I looked him up when I got home, and found Ten Foot Cock and A Few Hundred Virgins. I was in love.
[–]Spudface 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I love ten foot cock and a few hundred virgins. I went on holiday with the family not long ago and I played that song so much even my mum was singing along by the end of the week.
[–]KOAN13 2 points3 points4 points 10 months ago
I love ten foot cock and a few hundred virgins.
So do I... so do I. Never heard of this guy though.
[–]adiman 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I love ten foot cock
This will go on your record
[–]singletracks 2 points3 points4 points 10 months ago
I want to marry this dude. Even though I'm opposed to marriage and he has a wife. Oh, and we haven't actually met. Minor details, really.
[–]the8thbit 2 points3 points4 points 10 months ago
Except in the Scooby Doo movies.
[–]jochens 2 points3 points4 points 10 months ago
who else read that with the beats of the poem.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
That guy looks like a toll
[–]botsford01 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
That's what really frustrated me about the TV Movies they made. I guess the writers felt they had to up the stakes by making the monsters "Real" (Zombie Island, the one with the Aliens) but I always felt betrayed.
Never fear Scoob, there's always a rational explanation.
[–]Qwuffl 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
That whole "text on image" thing is getting old.
[–]54MProductions 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
Jesus, guys! r/skeptic
[–]xatmatwork 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
Upvote for probably unintentional use of "Jesus"
[–]paolog 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
Ah, but what about every mystery never solved, huh, huh, huh?
[–]adamwho 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
I never liked Hanna Barbara animation.
It bugged me that all the villains were always looking for power (money, control) and never for vengeance. it is the same for Disney villains.
[–]Rook0x51 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
Because people looking for vengeance are always the good guys! (according to hollywood)
[–]steven_h 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Except Khaaaaaan, of course.
[–]Frigguggi 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
And in the next episode, Shaggy and Scooby were always ready to believe in ghosts again.
[–]drtwist 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
Has anyone ever seen a photo of him where he looks healthy?
[–]WatersLethe 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
Why the hell isn't this in poem format? >:O
[–]Woof_tex 3 points4 points5 points 10 months ago
"and I would have gotten away with too it if it hadn't been for you meddling thinkers."
[–]AnimaWish 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
Here is the full poem with a snazzy animation. Worth the watch.
[–]nutellaandcigarettes 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
I love the animation (so well done! i even posted it, with no upvotes, a little while ago), but I feel like it's not as effective as seeing him perform it. I think Tim (like some stand-up comedians) is funniest when you watch him perform it.
[–]ZeroNihilist 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
This is the same reason you should watch Mythbusters. Their experiments may not be rigorous, but they promote the idea that you should test everything. Also Kari.
[–]akatits 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
one of his most majestic photographs.
and from what i've seen of him, it must be difficult to actually get a majestic photo.
regardless, a genius
[–]Willravel 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I have no idea what this guy would look like without makeup and crazy hair. None.
[–]bittlelum 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
You can see video of him looking "normal" on the documentary Rock And Roll Nerd (you can probably find some clips on YouTube).
It's kind of surreal.
[–]Kia001 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I'm no expert on Scooby Doo toons, but I'm pretty sure that I saw real aliens there at some point.
[–]Trenchleaf 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
to be honest it would have been better to just link to storm.
[–]thechapattack 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
So God is really Old Man Jenkins? Like It all makes sense now! ZOINKS!
[–]darkangelx 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
And i would have gotten away with too if it werent for those meddling atheists!
[–]rickroy37 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I also recommend Busytown Mysteries for anyone who has a younger child for this same reason.
*turned out to be Not Magic
[–]abitmisplaced 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Does the idea that an afternoon on wiki-fuckin-pedia might enlighten you frighten you.
I definitely watched Storm... FAR too many times. Big fan on a lot of Minchin's stuff, it's my kind of humor.
I'm all for not beating your wife with a big bag of comedy oranges.
[–]Lobbby 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Wait a minute...I'm sorry, who's talking about magic?
[–]ErisHeiress 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Holy guyliner, Batman!
[–]Iyoten 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I was raised on Scooby Doo, and I approve of this.
[–]willwriteforfood 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Tim Minchin is way cuter when not in the Russell-Brand-circa-2005 getup.
[–]Isenki 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
This guy is awesome. I don't even care about the eye makeup.
[–]Sturmvogel 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Yes, listen to the man with the eye liner.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
TIL that eyeliner should be permanently tattooed.
[–]dhenriq1 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
I've seen this guy a couple times I always mistake him for Russel Brand.
[–]morajic -4 points-3 points-2 points 10 months ago
I don't listen to guys who wear eye makeup.
[–]BananaMoustache 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
If he was a flamboyant transsexual, cross-dressing male who was out and gay and that was his style would you find that more respectable or less?
Take for example, ZJemptv on youtube (or whatever he goes by now)... listening past his monotonous droning commentary he makes good sense, but would you discount his points because he dresses in women's clothing and makeup?
But since Tim M hasn't crossed that threshold it's just not acceptable right?
[–]kingsandstorm -1 points0 points1 point 10 months ago
Was watching Tim on you tube when i saw this :)
[–]Tuth -1 points0 points1 point 10 months ago
Nice try, PR people working on social media!
[–]Publius82 -1 points0 points1 point 10 months ago
Who is this fruit?
[–]Melnorme -1 points0 points1 point 10 months ago
Hey let's not pin all of this on the proletariat. Some of the perps were rich.
[–]mihaidxn -5 points-4 points-3 points 10 months ago
Every time I hear "telly" it makes me want to kill somebody, like literally kill them, stab them in the eye, skin them, pour gasoline and light them on fire. twitches
[–]thegypsyqueen -6 points-5 points-4 points 10 months ago
Good message but horribly stupid delivery
[–]Mr_Bonsai 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Are you talking about the beat poem style or did you not know it was from one.
[–]thegypsyqueen -3 points-2 points-1 points 10 months ago
No, I am talking about the ridiculousness of the words in general. Beat poetry is fine with me when it is done well.
[–]Mr_Bonsai 3 points4 points5 points 10 months ago
I don't get how the words are ridiculous - care to explain for me?
