Bouchedags sucked, so how did it beat these guys?
by Nex on 09.11.2007 45 comments

Earlier today when I posted my vitriolic reaction to the winner of the Xbox Live Originals contest, I received an almost unanimous flood of e-mails filled with swears and death threats merely for propagating that walking abortion of a video. While I'm a proponent of free speech, I'm also a proponent of not sucking so hard as to create an earthbound quantum singularity that pulls not only flesh and bones from anything nearby but also somehow the still theologically hypothetical Immortal Soul from man, woman, and confusingly enough small fish. While it lends credence to that Christianity deal that so many people seem to have shameful erections for, everything contained in that clip serves as irrefutable evidence against the existence of a caring God ... or at least evidence of a caring God who also has an evil, goatee-clad doppelgänger who gets the keys to the OmnipotenceMobile every Tuesday and Thursday. Where you at now Archangel Michael?

As a sort of ocular amuse-gueule, I present the above clip. That film was created by the fine folks at Overtime Comedy, the sexiest people to ever seriously contemplate my suggestions of water sports pornography, and one of the nine runner-ups that tragically lost in the most horrifying incident of corruption since the 1919 World Series. Theories on what went wrong range from ancient Illuminati schemes, to untimely incursion by Reverse Vampires from ailing Eastern Bloc countries, but one thing is for sure: if there is a Devil, he's almost guaranteed a $100,000 budget and a six-episode contract from Microsoft by the end of the week.

That was 18 to 19 times funnier than the abortion of a video that won.

that was pretty good. Overtime is hit and miss, but this was mostly a hit.

Di/vision ftw! MATHCLAINE!!!

Would I ever lead you guys astray? That video was intensely better than the shit that won. I'm beginning to fear the judges working for MS were Eric Bauman and Carrot Top.

That was fucking amazing. I haven't seen any of their other stuff, and I get the idea that there's probably a substantial amount of putrid... but still, that was better than most of the stuff I see on TV, and it was MUCH better than that other piece of "bouchedags" that they had on earlier. changing two letters to make a simple word into something unique? What fucking karpsage.

I was gonna do a joke about fractions but I'm not famous enough to get away with it.

well the wrong video won the 'Nintendo Short Cuts' contest, (was supposed to be the 'working at nintendo's office' one) so this isn't terribly surprising :P

OK yeah, Di/Vision made me laugh. And it's oo better than that other shlock. Did you really thing the XBL crowd would go for math humour though? =<.

Well, it was better than BoucheDags. I mean, math is smart, right? :\

jerrt at 09/11/2007 21:54

well it wasn't mathnet or brain games, but has the potential to be great. i mean, accept for the drug references and some possibly copyrighted material, it was leaps and bounds over what won.

OK...how in the fuck did that other submission beat this? That's it. I'm going out tonight, and looking for kittens to drown. See what you've done MS? You're solely responsible for the drowning of many newborn kittens.

Hey, if Jack Thompson can blame you for dumb shit, so can I.

All while watching this I got flashbacks of an old PBS show: Square One.

Sick show

Yes Mike, that was a good deal of the spoof according to the guys behind it. Since I grew up on that show, that was all they had to tell me to get it onto DToid.

That show gets: 9.5/10
That means 9 out of 10, not 0.95

jerrt at 09/11/2007 23:05

@ miketava: that was the show that usually always ended with mathnet

if you like it, try and find brain games.... i dare you.

That was pretty good; comparable to other internet shows that have more resources behind them and definitely better than that...thing that won.

I was smiling, I think I even laughed once. Never thought that would happen with anything related to that...

DarkTetsuya at 09/12/2007 00:55

OK, I admit I hadn't seen the one that won... but I tried watching it and after 2 minutes, was already disinterested... So, remember murphy's law on these video submission contests: the good ones *never* win. ever.

It was better than the other one. But it wasn't good. Funny idea, but poor execution

When I was in 5th grade our teacher made us watch a "hip" math show called Square 1 and I swear that is what they are parodying in the theme song if not the whole show.

I agree with blu3steel except it was just about good, but execution needs to be improved.

Neither of these shows were funny. There is a severe void of humor here...

pwned88 at 09/12/2007 09:13

It wasn't the funniest thing I've ever seen, but I did enjoy it, and it did get a few smirks out of me, more than the three and a half minutes of bouchedags did for me. I'm sorry, but I have yet to meet someone who actually enjoyed the other one.

You forgot about the Hawking Paradox...they'll be back to suck again!

That was pretty fucking bad.... I'm sorry.

you guys are extemely dorky. Nothing wrong with being a dork. i'm a dork when it comes to certain things.

but.. yeah that was def. not all there. But you guys are all a clan and you stick together on the internet (which is cool) so anything negative I say about this wack ass video will get rediculed and laughed at and flamed because I don't have the "E-Clout" that you all have.

I could see if this was on some lonely island shit... or whatever comedy group is actually really funny out there. But it's not. Your jokes are very eh... so for you to trash Bouchedags is kinda weak considering this is no better.

stay cool.
