Too good hahah

Apollo's Lyre's avatar

It's all thanks to you, good sir! haha

I'm just glad we were able to get some laughs out of this :D I'm not going to lie: I tried making some funny AI images after seeing your post, and they all sucked lol. Nothing as good as the ones here.

Alexander Semenyuk's avatar

It take a while to get good ones sometimes, A I is weird haha

Apollo's Lyre's avatar

It is! I have to work on my AI prompt skills.

I do always talk nice about robots and AI though, since I know they are always listening, and I want our robot overlords to be nice to me haha. I've read enough Harlan Ellison and watched enough Terminator to know it's better to err on the side of caution! :D

Good Ol' Slo Xi Den breaks a hip sliding across the hood of their trusty Chevy Volt, the General Milley.

Haha! Yes! And Kamala in the Daisy Dukes 🤮 Or maybe the Booty Judge? And obviously Chris Christie as Boss Hog.

Thanks for making me laugh and sludge through the memories.

I love it

But also hate it lol

Pirate Studebaker's avatar

Exactly the reaction the oh-so-charming Obamas' provoke in people.

So in it's way, the video is a documentary.

Apollo's Lyre's avatar

I like to think the video was filmed in real time and Barry and Big Mike were unaware there were even cameras present.

Pirate Studebaker's avatar

That is SO sweet! I Luv that the Hillary genie shows up and morphs around in their world as well. Like watching frolicking lion cubs!

It's a nature documentary! Kool. Beans.

I was raised without TV - My parents wanted Us to learn to entertain Ourselves without it. It worked. I have had two TV's in My life - decades ago - one as a computer monitor WAY back in the day, and one for an X-Box I used to have. So sadly, even some of the ones You listed, I have never even heard of! LOL! I don't think I can assist You, therefore, in Your project!

I could see this as a super creepy AI-generated cross between a sitcom and a horror film. Oof. 🤣

This is the style that came to mind, even though this is straight sci-fi/horror....

...probably because my mind went straight to that 90s video game Harvester... it's set in like a Pleasantville type of town with a hidden demonic underbelly and you have to figure out who you are and how you got there. Did you ever play that?

Apollo's Lyre's avatar

Whoa! That video was amazing! Obviously very Bioshocky, but that is one of my favorite series of all time, so I am not complaining haha. I'm going to watch more of that channel for sure.

And somehow I missed Harvester, and I'd swear I played EVERY 90s point-and-click adventure game. Thank you for the link; it is now on the list :D

I agree - I think Alter does an incredible job with his pieces - and even better, I think that's an appropriate use for that tech - if it's going to make creepy things, why not use it to make things that are intentionally creepy? It's the same as any other world building. You're using a tool and the output is only as good as the input.

I got SO ADDICTED to having to finish Harvester because I had to know how the story ends!! I played it just about straight through, which back then was WEIRD, and then I swore off behaving that way ever again!! 🤣🤣🤣

You'd probably like this too. This is my favorite short. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ-mXhlJK6Y

Tonight they could easily slide into 'The Great Debate' in "Welcome Back Kotter". No prep necessary.

Mork and Mindy was the first sitcom I thought of. Don as Mork and Joe as Mindy.

Apollo's Lyre's avatar

This would be amazing!

"Some people, they say--not me, I don't say it, but I hear people say--they say "NANU" ... "NANU." Can you believe that? That's what they say. And, look, Ork, this planet, Ork... they're not exactly sending us their best."

"C'mon, man! I'm going to... I'mma... whazaifabitangalaba.. I'mma take ya behind the woodshed and listen here, Jack, Mark--Jork--listen, I'm, my grandmother always wizawungaloobenpishpash, where am I? Oh yeah, said, she said, 'Joey! Aliens are. NO. DIFFERENT. Love is love! Gay sweaty Martian man-love! Man-on-man action! Tentacles! HERE ON MARS!' That's what she said! So I'm all for aliens, legal or illegal, sleeping with my dog."

Antila H. Belist's avatar

Wow I'm glad I posted my suggestion, your inspiration here is hilarious, AL! I even heard it in their voices while reading. Brilliantly done! Bravo!

Apollo's Lyre's avatar

hahaha thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m afraid I’ve spent waaaay too much time listening to Joey and The Don at this point, so this has become second nature to me.

Just the two of them dancing with umbrellas in a fountain to the Friends theme.

Apollo's Lyre's avatar

It is hysterical--and kind of disturbing--how quickly this image and theme song popped into my head haha. It'd be great! Joey slipping and hurting himself, Donnie's spray-tan getting all smeary... "I'll be there foooor yoooooou♪" lol

I really need to stop being too busy for Plurality Report. You should never be too busy to do what you need to do. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.

Apollo's Lyre's avatar

Or too busy for some City of Heroes :D

I'm terrible at time management (to quote Aaron Lewis, "I waste more time than anyone"), so I can totally relate. It can be tough! Your inertia analogy is spot on though, and once you get that snowball in motion it can pick up more snow and really get things going! I am big fan of Plurality Report, so I hope you do find the time to keep up the great posts.

So in the Seinfeld milieu, would Joey be Jerry and The Don be George? And who would round out the quartet?

Jidasfire's avatar

Hmm, or would Joey be more of a Kramer?

Apollo's Lyre's avatar

Personally, I'd go with that: Joey as Kramer and The Don as George haha. I'd love Chris Christie as Newman. Other cast is tough... Maybe Obama as Jerry? "I mean, uh listen, who are, um, these people?" type of lines in Obama voice is kinda funny. Fancy Nancy Pelosi and Cocaine Mitch as Jerry's parents? Maybe Newsom as Elaine? haha

Dayman! Fighter of the Nightman! Champion of the Sun! You're a Master of Karate! And friendship... for everyone🎵

Haha they would be PERFECT on IASIP, a show about total degenerates lol. I was thinking of the amazing Lethal Weapon episode they did when I was imagining plugging Joey and The Don into famous black sitcoms like The Cosby Show or Sanford and Son, and how you could put them in terrible blackface with the rest of the actual cast and just play it straight like nobody notices the obvious. Except if they did What's Happening!! then Dee would of course notice and break the fourth wall to further mock everyone haha. I feel like if we still had In Living Color they could pull this off.

Hahaha! These are gold, Jessica, gold! The Sanford lines, the Always Sunny recasts: they're so good. I would give good money to see these skits made haha
