So, I finally think the Blue Collar Comedy fad is over, and to be honest, not a moment too soon. Now I did like Ron White, he was awesome, he was the funniest of the Blue Collars comedians. However, I could not stand Larry the Cable Guy, and god that damn catch phrase of his...

Anyways, now that the Blue Collar Comedy fad is over, what next fad will come over the horizon that we will beat to death? Also, what are some fad that have stayed around way too long? What Fad did you hate/love?

What fad do I hate?

Libertarianism :p

You think you hated it? try living in the spot he so expertly stereotyped into oblivion...and then watching your idiot neighbors take up his slogan /disgusted...

Idk if its completely over yet anyway, Bill Engvall's show got a new season...

I liked Ron White too though, he was genuinely funny, although all his comedy shows were about the same...

This texting thing's gotta end soon.
Kids are putting "LOL" on state writing essays. They're saying "OMG" out loud. And for some reason they're willing to pay money to pseudo-communicate with people far away, rather than talk to the people sitting right next to them.
That's why I'm gonna get a cell phone jammer. :D

EDIT: When I say it's gotta end soon, I don't mean it will. I mean I reeeeeeeeally hope it ends.

Meh, Gold and Silver were a cool thing, but they went overboard on unoriginality on Ruby and Sapphire, though I hear Diamond and Pearl are closer to the originals

I was disgusted to find that in my final year of school we asked the new kids if they liked Pokemon. Their response: "What's Pokemon?"

Gold and Silver kicked ass as far as a okay RPG went. The company however just recycled the same stuff over and over, such a cheap rehash of the previous games.
Overkill.

I remember a really cool article from somewhere about the parts of society in the world of pokemon that we never see. Like, are there any pokemon rights groups, do people eat pokemon, what is it actually like inside a pokeball, things like that.

I'll answer that.

1) There were Pokemon Rights groups but Pokemon Trainers made their Pokemon kill the activists.

2) Pikachu is a cuisine in rural China.

3) The Pokeball: It's actually a glimpse into some kind of heaven. All the food, drink and sex a pokemon could ever need.

Misty. I'd link you to the evidence, but you're 12 years old or something so I'd go to jail.

I demand a return of pogs, slap bracelets, jelly shoes, and good Saturday morning cartoons.

I live in England so naturally Emo's and Chavs need to die now please

I want Yo-Yos to come back:)

Yeah, i dont think it will, thx to Forums(where that lingo originated), Chat Rooms, and finally Txt Messages, its become general use, after fifty years or so, the acronyms might even make into the dictionary like "Aint"

BTW, Am i crazy? i get the urge to say "lol" in everyday conversation before i actually laugh...

I'm not THAT young!

Sorry, 13. My mistake.

i'm pretty sure your idea of what constitutes a fad is a bit...off.

Sorry, 13. My mistake.

Erm...Uh.... No comment.
Pedophile :p

OMG LOL git 'er done! *answers cell phone during a movie*

How about goth, emo, and anarchism? I like a lot of the anarchist philosophy, but the prepubescent fad followers with the 'A' armbands are annoying.

*edit*
What fad do I hate?

Libertarianism :p

Socialism

MySpace, but that's wishful thinking.

Forget Pokemon Cards how about Yugioh Cards?

Forget Pokemon Cards how about Yugioh Cards?

Yugi-what cards? :p

I remember them. They're still annoying as heck.

Forget Pokemon Cards how about Yugioh Cards?

Ive never personally collected Yugioh cards, but my little brother did, and i actually had some fun with it, cause it was a Total rip off of Magic: The Gathering, which i still do play from time to time, lol, i know im geeky...

But, because of that, me and my little brother played a hybrid game of Yugioh/Magic with me using my Magic deck and him using his Yugioh deck, and it worked seamlessly, it was kinda kewl, lol

Aye, this is such a fad, and not the dominant political system in Countries That Are Not Really Quite Pish since the 1950s, aye?

Remember the knock-off Digimon? And then there was Yugioh, and now there's a new one every week. We need to kill them! :mp5:

*brings out Pokemon cards*

Pokemon cards were leet before Nintendo took back the rights to make the cards and started putting out crap.

Oh really? I thought that this "Duel Masters"-thing was the Magic: The Gathering-ripoff.

Then again I can (at least almost) see how someone can get "Duel Monsters" (the in-show/manga name for what we know as the "Yu-gi-oh! Trading Card Game") and the show/card game "Duel Masters" mixed up.

lol, it doesnt really matter, cause almost EVERY Trading Card Game is a rip off of MTG in some way or another, its old as dirt, it practically started the genre...

I think its the reason why its survived as long as it has, and at about the same level of popularity...

Forget Pokemon Cards how about Yugioh Cards?

Yu-Gi-Oh...I wasted soooo much money on those cards....

BTW, Anyone remember Beyblade?

Hee hee heeeeee.

I have to say that as an elementary school teacher and former JELLY SHOE FANATIC, I have been totally heartened by the apparent (slow) return of jellies! I've spotted them among the kindergarteners especially.

While I loved slap bracelets, now that I'm on the other side I see why they drove teachers nuts. There's nothing like trying to explain fractions and hearing, *smack!* *smack!* "It's not doing it!" *smack smack smack!* all hour. And by all hour I mean the five minutes before I take them away.

I didn't consider Ron White to be part of that assclown group.

"SMUNKEE! put that thing away and pay attention!"
*snap, snap, snap*
"SMUNKEE!"
"wha?"
"put it away! those things are dangerous!"
"no they aren't"
"yeah, some girl slit her wrist with one on accident and died!"
"really?"

"COOL!" *snapsnapsnapsnapsnap* "it doesn't work :(" *snapsnapsnap*

And libertarians are just anarchists in suits ;)


going by daily show appearances, libertarians have blue skin and/or give toy guns out in harlem, while the anarchists wear the suits.

Yeah! I learned all kinds of cool yo-yo tricks and now nobody cares. :(

I was in intermediate school when the yo-yo's came out in full force, then the principal started to try to ban them. It didn't work too well. Same with pokemon cards, heh. Then they started saying, "Wellllll, you can have your poke-man cards, but if they get stolen, don't cry to us."

Abstentism...

The more hot babes abstaining from sex before marriage because they listen to hidebound religious idealogues means less potential babes for me to sleep around with :(

What fad do I hate?

Libertarianism :p

Indeed.

Also, the fad of self diagnosed ass burgers.

I loved pokemon cards. I still collect them (I lost all but a few). The ones I really want are the old ones and Lucario. Lucario is so awesome. Lucario :fluffle:

Hee hee heeeeee.

lhbsol... idgi. ijl2sf. nifme. p/e th@ 2me.

EDIT: Laughs hesitantly but still out loud... I don't get it. I just laughed to save face. Now I find myself embarassed. Please explain that one to me.

Abstentism...

The more hot babes abstaining from sex before marriage because they listen to hidebound religious idealogues means less potential babes for me to sleep around with :(

I gave a speech in Comm Arts called "Abstinence Is Perverted."

As it turns out, abstinence programs generally don't keep kids from having sex. So your mind should be put at ease. Over 80% of the girls who took the pledge had sex anyway. Consider that the remaining 20% of girls could easily contain a large portion of uggos who couldn't find a willing man if their life depended on it, and the number of hot babes willing to get freaky goes up considerably.
Furthermore, girls who take the abstinence pledge are waaaaaaay more likely to perform oral/anal sex, since apparently that doesn't count.
My suggestion: if there's a room full of experienced college sorority sluts, and one abstinent chick... go for the abstinent chick. She's the freak.

What are you? eleven?

No. 19. Which, based on your reply, is probably seven years older than you.

Well, it's not like Lucario is as awesome as Psyduck or anything.

I hope Pokemon cards don't die. I still have plans to sell my old collection, which is probably worth a lot of money.

pfft...the real money is in drugs.

*nods*

pfft...the real money is in drugs.

*nods*

Nah. The legality is an issue and there's WAY too much competition. The real money is in retirement. $2000 a year for 9 years, from age 21 to age 29. Those $18,000 will grow into well over a million dollars once you hit retirement age. Long term, sure, but practically garanteed and such a large reqard for such a puny investment.

I don't know, I liked Larry the Cable Guy and I always thought he was all kinds of funny. Him and all the rest of those guys.

As for the rest, the following fads need to die:

Internet slang (LOL, OMG, etc.) - It's bad enough written, when you talk like that, it makes you sound like you have some kind oof Tourette's related retardation.

Wearing pajama pants(or pants that look like pajamas) out in public - How about you get up earlier so you have time to dress properly, you lazy bastards.

"Metrosexual" - This is just a gay guy in denial. Pick a side, and stick with it.

I've always been sad that they ended slavery. I think it's time to brink it back, look at all the poor unemployed Negroes.

Slavery is so yesterday, it's all about indentured servitude now.

it just got completely pointless after they decided to add so many stupid pokemon to the original 150...Besides making the whole "catch em all" scenario physically impossible....

They gave up on that line a few generations ago, and the games are slowly (by which I mean it will take them about two or three games longer than it should) turning into sandboxes.

Yah. and so damn cheap too.

Back in the days that they were still shipping niggers to those good ol' boys in the south, a slave would sell for what historians have calculated to be about $35,000 to $50,000 for a good quality average specimen.

Now you can buy a hot blonde Ukrainian with nice legs and pert tits from the russian Mafia for $2000. Stupid girls rack up to much debt buying stuff and go see the Loan sharks, unlike the guys who get off with broken bones and agony the chicks get sold to brothels to cover their loans they owe to the russian mafia.

You know, I seriously doubt libertarians, like Ron Paul, actually exist in the real world. Libertarians and Ron Paul supporters, which I have been told are pretty much the same thing, seem to be things that can only be encountered on the Internet. Does it even count as a fad when it's apparently nonexistent in the regular world?

You could pretty much say the same thing for any marginal political movement. Communism, Anarchism, Ayn Rand supporters, the Green Party, the Constitution Party, Stormfront, they all seem to have a much more looming "Internet" presence than they do in the real world. That's because it's easy to be an armchair idealist, but hard to actually change the world, especially when it's not in a hurry to/doesn't see the need to change.

You forgot bisexuality as an option.

You forgot bisexuality as an option.

Thank you for reminding me. 'Bisexual' is another fad that should die out tout de suite. If I had a nickel for every time, I heard this, I'd have a sock full of nickels that I could use on people who say 'irregardless.' Claiming to be bisexual is just another way of covering up the fact that you're indecisive.

Heterosexuality is a fad. Following the impending environmental disasters caused by overpopulation, straight and bi will realise the error and immorality of this innovation and return to their natural pure fabulous state. And then humanity will promptly die out. Its all in the Bible you know. Admittedly, its in a code that only the most enlightened can accesss, but still...

haha
what a fabulous observation...gurl

All the young people I know are really excited about "voting." Now, don't get me wrong, I was young once, too. But when I see people as old as twenty-five trying to make decisions that they should know by now are better made by our shadowy corporate overlords...frankly, that just seems juvenile. I just don't know, I heard meth is coming back, maybe that will keep the youngsters occupied. I certainly hope so.
