i have never seen gurren lagann, but i know that it is neither a comedy nor is it menacing, so it would be entirely gratuitous
but pinteresque will arrive, much like carmen sandiego

los, the youtubes are reading clips from tv tropes where the authors testify that the tropes apply to themselves with really embarrassing personal stories. the youtube readers use funny voices

But they sprinkle in stories about how they are chivalrous, but grope women, tell underage girls that they're dressed sexily or just rape someone, but it's Ok, because they resisted, but we know they really wanted it.

it also has a crazy amount of repetition in the dialogue, to the extent that it goes beyond catchphrases and becomes... well, pinteresque
also it has this really cool cyclical theme thing going on
and Kamina is the best

i like to do it in between shaking people down for their lunch money
seriously it's easy to laugh at the bullshitters because they're trying to present themselves as more awkward than they actually are, and the legit creeps, well, i laugh in between fits of rage

IQ is bullshit anyway.
Anyone bragging about their own IQ can be safely categorized as a Class 2 Dumbass.

I'm really good at doing intelligence tests, apparently.
Pity I'm not so good at other kinds.

We're talking about internets here, nobody said anything about intelligence.

do these tropers with internet quality > 140 (thanks KING ADAM) ever grow up or get laid or form meaningful relationships
or are they like that forever
my mind is sort of blown by the thought of them getting old and still being like that, but they sure don't seem like they'll ever change
