The future truly has arrived: DDR does Chocolate Rain
by Nex on 08.01.2007 63 comments

I've never made a secret of my distaste for memes. They are just below puns on the Idle-Brooks Official Scale of Humor, and with more repetition they only become more annoying. As they are almost exclusively the realm of fourteen year olds whose definition of the term "irony" actually hotlinks back to a video of Tay Zonday with the caption "I Can Haz e-Stardom?", you can see how they'd strike me as a bit repellant.

Of course, when reader AngelsDontBurn posted the above video on the official DToid MySpace page, I realized that nothing short of buying you all Vicodin-laced hookers would be comparable to the amount of fan service contained within the clip.

Honestly, I feel really dirty right now, so just watch the damn thing. I have to go shower and hang myself.

Tune in next week to see the results of our experiment entitled: "Insulting your fans' taste? Wise move, or Nex, you're fired!"

I think Tay Zonday's pulling the strings behind the scenes, financing stuff like this with NAZI GOLD!!!
And I know from experience that Nazi gold can buy a ton of cocaine.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying it (not sarcasm.)

My non-internet savvy friend called me up a few days ago to tell me about this "new" hilarious singer that Opie and Anthony "discovered" on YouTube. Of course, it was Tay Zonday. At that moment, the lulz died for me.

But may the power of Zonday live on in your hearts.

...
can someone tell me why chocolate rain is such a big deal? I see and hear nothing special.

I hate DDR and Chocolate Rain and this was pretty much killed me. I don't hate DDR cause I suck at it (Im acutally pretty good on the real thing not just stepmania)its because I can't find any relation to the steps to the rhythm... at all... and its more like RLSRLSR - Restless Leg Syndrome Restless Leg Syndrom Revolution.

I hate chocolate rain, 'cause it's so repetitive, and boring, and the vocals are TERRIBLE. BUT this is a good remix with a killer stepfile. Definitely better than the actual song.

I like to think that Nex and I have similar viewpoints on a lot of things, but as far as certain memes go, I do find them funny sometimes, depending on how they're done. While I think Zonday has definitely gone into overkill, I did quite like this.
