Definition of Sardoodledom
Mechanically contrived plot structure and stereotyped or unrealistic characterization in drama : STAGINESS, MELODRAMA

The authors of the world's great plays are not mere tricksters in Sardoodledom
— John Mason Brown

Named for Victorien Sardou, a 1908 French playwright criticized by G. B. Shaw for the supposed staginess of his plays.

Next word: Haboob.

If you don't know who Matthew Silver is:

"My role as a clown, trickster and village idiot is to parody excessive seriousness by playing with taboos, rules, and social norms. My inspiration comes from my heart. I perform for smiles and laughter, loosening people’s armor, and opening up a portal for imagination, creativity and love.

Some people see me as a raving lunatic, pompous “artistic” hipster, or attention-starved 9 year-old, but people don’t consciously understand the role of a clown in society. Read between the lines and you will start to see things from a different perspective. By breaking down boundaries, I provide you, the viewer, with permission to open your mind and realize it’s okay to act silly from time to time. We may trick ourselves into believing we know everything, constantly striving for perfection in a society that requires a civilized, job-holding, serious individual. We cannot be perfect. If we allow ourselves the chance to be flawed perhaps we can let the obstacles humble us, rather than make us rigid. In the end we can let our guards down to attain our most basic need of giving and receiving love."

Listening to Trump is like listening to a kid give a pretend speech.

"We need to get the bad people what did this and all the muslims must cooperate with the police to get the bad men because they know, they know who the bad people are and they have to tell us."

It's like watching a confidence trickster sell snake oil - "It works, I know.. I know, trust me." - and I'm one of the only people that can see through it. Inside there's a desperate man with a hunted look on his face going "Please tell me they bought what I just said and they're not going to pour all my oil down the drain and make me walk out of town with my pants around my ankles again."

He's like a white, old Kanye West - he's all talk and no substance, his best stuff happened so long ago no one can remember whether it was really any good in the first place or just good fortune and all his co-workers think he's a joke and can't believe how he ever got to where he's gotten. Whilst Kanye married into an association with a big arse, Trump achieved that all by himself though he did have a head start with that name.

To a certain extent, but I would contend that flawlessly pulling off complex sleight of hand in front of multiple cameras, 2 professional magicians/tricksters and an entire studio audience is, imo, a form of magic.

I don't think there's a way for sleight-of-hand tricksters to not have a retarded look on their face as they do their tricks. Like they're fooling themselves but not, making it up as they go along but we all know it's rehearsed.

Lovecraft is up there with the Great Tricksters -- like Aleister Crowley and Toto from the Wizard of Oz.

I gotta call fake on this one. The guy with the mop (i.e. the trickee) practically knew exactly how to hold the mop before he was asked. Look how he's already holding it up high before there's an explanation. Then how they swap places with each other is very scripted. The catch and throw was a little too perfect, as if rehearsed. The camera was also perfect angled so the trickster didn't step out of frame when he moved left. And why didn't trickee have any questions why he was being shown a new magic trick?

However:
Genesis 1:29
Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you"


Apparently, they'd never heard of all the shit that grows on plants and trees that can really motherfucking KILL you.

Ah, god, you silly trickster you!
