I expect that I'm a potential-Brony. Pre-brony? I don't know. All I do know is that I haven't had time to watch it yet, but every single thing I see and hear about this show virtually guarantees I'll be a fan once I do. They nailed a sweet spot with the art and animation, and that ridiculously saccharine-sweet tone is just the right kind of self-parody and legitimate cuteness that only comes along once in a while.

not sure how I feel about the crowd noise. All the moaning, groaning, yelping, and snaps, seems a bit too much like self-parody to take seriously...

poem was good, tho.

Dylan's self-parody is inspiring and true.

The socialist "journalists" who work for the obama regime are accusing FOX of bias?
HARD-HITTING.


You're upset that the Muppets don't agree with you? BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

You have officially crossed the line into self-parody.

I like the part where he has other people do the singing for him.

Seriously though, this can't be real, can it? He isn't that bad, (doesn't he usually, actually, try to sing at least?). Otherwise this must be more self parody.

I'm torn on this.
I wasn't a big fan of Kill Bill - especially the second part. Certainly some great scenes, but too much winking self-awareness. Some of this trailer (especially the beginning) has this same kind of lazy looking self parody. I see what they're getting at, but I'm not a fan.
But it also has some absolute top shelf action talent, and every reason to believe it will have amazing action scenes. Oh, and Michelle Yeoh apparently.
So, yeah, this'll be awesome.


Just watched it. It's clear they cut the trailer to appeal to mass market America who loved the fact that the latest Karate Kid was about Kung Fu. It's not at all humorous as the trailer makes it out to be. They obviously mentioned Kill Bill among others for the same reason, but in fact the only "people who brought you..." they're really referring to is Yuen Woo Ping.

It is a bit fractured for it to be a perfect flick, but it was highly enjoyable to me. I recommend it especially to folks who know and appreciate the genre.

Is this a self-parody?

I'm really starting to like the new Charlie Sheen. Big points for self-*parody.

Not sure Apple marketing needs parodying any more. It's pretty much one massive self parody now.

Hmmm, this song is bordering on self-parody for Byrne. And he make it worse by sticking a rapper in the middle, something that's gone out of fashion.

And not really getting the concept of the video. Oh well, a miss imo.

This is NOT the way to bow out of action and head into self-parody successfully....will some one PLEASE tell SS to take himself as serious as his *cough fans....he needs to enroll in the Bill Shatner Institute.

Hmmm. Lessse dystopiaufrtdy, Pat Condell needs a spot on the BBC's nightly wank. Deek Jackson has his own news channel on YouTube called FKKN News-My vote is for Deek to replace all media news outlets' collective hoo-ha, and for everyone to get Telescreens™ that can't be turned off, only down.
24/7 deprogramming is the only way to undo what has been done to nations of the television addicted-That and bring back hard copys' popularity....The public library needs a revamp-Fettish librarians, BYOBBB, and hooka lounges....and a ventilation chamber for homeless folks.


I sense this is about as close as I get before the choggie parabola swings wide again.

Yet another self parody by some religious nut job. What are all the youtube parodists to do?
