His blog humor is too intellectual for your average mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, booger-eating Youtuber.

This has to be fake. There cannot possibly be anyone who finds Family Circus funny enough to create a fan club. I think Nalts is hilarious (most of the time) and created a FanClubofNalts account on YouTube, but I only attracted 19 subscribers.

This is almost as awesome as all the hopes and dreams of all the people who got featured on April Fools day on Youtube.

Almost there, but still crushes the soul in a twisted way.

And just as bad as a RickRoll.

I don’t think you understand the concept of April Fool’s Day. It’s only one day per year, that being April 1. Therefore, posts after April 1 attempting to cash in on another’s April Fool’s joke, properly made on April Fool’s Day, i.e., April 1, are per se lame. This is true regardless of the funny quotient (or lack thereof) of the original, properly posted April Fool’s Day joke or the parasitic follow-on joke made on the day after April Fool’s Day.

This post is for educational purposes only. It is not intended to be, and should not be considered to be, funny or humorous in any fashion. And I think I was quite successful in that regard, if I do say so myself.

click – this was the best AFJ I’ve seen so far on YT.
so many hopes dashed by both young and old

did the big G really fired the guy cause he couldn’t execute a bad joke?

couldn’t all these bright billionaire boys see the thing was a stink bomb when they read the script?

sounds very irrational to me. I’m a little afraid to type anything in the google search, what if I misspell something?

I’m praying hard that Virgin Airline captains don’t make any in flight

P.S. Is this post ANOTHER prank? I mean, it seems highly petty of Google to fire a 4-year employee for failing to “amuse even the most affable and simplest minds employed by our company.” What kind of an f’ed-up job requirement is that to hold an ‘engineer’ to? He’s gotta be an ‘engineer’ AND funny too?

I suspect that there are a lot more simple minds in these outfits than they’d like to admit. Let’s start with the just-out-of-high-school with no REAL life experience booger brains that they put in charge of deciding which videos get promoted or featured.

Hahaha! Present company excepted. Or accepted. You choose. I’ll never get featured again.

First, why do we call these dorks “engineers”? Engineers my spreading black butt. My dad was an actual engineer. These trade school AV (audio visual club) knob-polishing button pushers are no ‘engineers.’ Puhleeeze!

That aside, I had a good time spam-commenting those who submitted video responses to this prank video, begging the applicants for Mars travel to take my annoying nephew with them if they were selected to go:

“Good luck! If you DO get to go, puhleeze take my annoying nephew with you! He’s a big, corn fed boy, so if you run into any Martian monsters up there, just feed him to them. The monsters will get full and leave you alone!”
