Let it be known this is not a serious attempt at a sift.

And yes, I downvoted my own video.

Why wouldn't you down vote this...every time someone has tried to sift this un-inspried, unfunny sheit, it has fallen flat....

What, are u bored of sifting vids MG?

Choggie, did you not see the link in the description?

nope, dinna bother to look down that far, or watch the unicorn.... can't stand piss-poor comedy.....

I'd still love to see this sifted, regardless of others personal views. I find this one to be funny a hell.

Upvote for lulz.

*long

This video has been flagged as being at least 10 minutes in length - declared long by jonny.

the Sift's reaction to this video is bizzzzzzaaaaaaarrrreeeeee.

Personally, i have been widening my eyes and threatening "i will kill you!!!" in an arabic accent at least once a week, with my musician buddy, for a few months now. it's a great running joke.

I must have missed whatever Drama there was over this clip, but I found it funny when I saw it first.

@JohnnyMackers: This has been sifted close to 20 times. The issue is that there are enough haters (those that downvote this because they feel the act is unfunny) to counterbalance any amount of upvoters (persons that don't have their panties in a wad). This is the reason the downvote ability is a touchy subject for us, its rather powerful.

I got laughs out of this clip, but I downvoted simply because I posted this as a joke.

Well then MG I guess you're forgiven... Take two Hail Mary's and a pass to the wide receiver and be done with it. Bless you

I don't usually go to the trouble of explaining a downvote, but what the hell.

I didn't find it offensive (everything is fair game in standup comedy). The guy is just not that funny. I've tried to watch it several times, and I never make it past about 3-4 minutes, because I'd rather be doing something else, like watching paint dry.

I just stopped laughing at people making silly noises and accents for the sake of 'having-an-accent-and-saying-things' a while back now.

It's also the reason I no longer laugh at Homer Simpson just because it's Homer saying stuff. He's no where near as funny as he was (and still is) from the earlier seasons... but I digress...

Unicorn works cause I just wanna be different it didn't seem like they cared if anyone found it funny. It's the crazy use of random sounds and bright colours and happy

I actually wonder what warrants the *Downvote* on this video though. So you didn't find something funny. I see dozens of stand up vids that never make it out of the queue for not being funny and they don't get a single downvote.

I'm calling shenanigans.

Mostly, it's just developed over time. You know, to speed up the process.

Upvote for downvote's sake!

i think many people are very very concerned about showing how they are very very concerned about the terrorist situation. they don't know how to get relief from a joke. read the comments on some of the old attempts, it's classic "i think people might be offended so therefore i downvote on their behalf".

other people just don't find it funny, and i guess the controversial content makes them more likely to oppose it. it's not "meh" it's "oh come on, if you are going to be dark, you gotta make me seriously laugh". that's fair enough i think. he's not the worlds sharpest wit.

i sifted and upvoted this because i think it's a good puppet and obviously captures people's attention (bad and good). and i like making fun of dark shit, because that's better than getting all serious about fluff (cough global warming cough)

each to his own.

anyway ant upvoted. i rest my case.

"The issue is that there are enough haters (those that downvote this because they feel the act is unfunny) to counterbalance any amount of upvoters"

Bullshit

Again, a word invented by rappers, which fails at all to convey any meaning whatsoever, save that of subjective association with whatever mind-fuck has been perpetrated through pop-culture, or race-baiting, agenda-oriented assholes.

Uninspired comedian with low energy, and little talent.

And yes, paint-drying is much more satisfying.

Because this is like the 10th time it's been submitted - I'm tired of seeing it in the queue.

Why? whywhywhywhywhy?

Heyyyyy. Go pet a Ponuppy!

I'm real sorry, MG. I find Planet Unicorn funny, but this failed to produce the lolz.

Strange. This guy is usually pretty good.

er...I am so conflicted on what I should do with this vid. On one side, I love what you're trying to do with this video, and I applaud this social experiment. On the other, come on...I couldn't sleep at night if I were to upvote this.

I exercise my power of the neutral NOVOTE, usually reserved for music I don't personally like (other than your nickel back submission, MGR, I downvoted that) and things that I have no opinion on, like the invention of trail mix. Just know it was thought about long and hard <--that's what she said

Discarding this video. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Dude. Its bad enough I have to share a family and DNA with you, but are you really going to force me to share a site that allows this crap? God I hate you sometimes...

Most downvotes on a clip ever? It's still sifting!

You all are being melodramatic. It is comedy. It has funny bits.

upvote because I'm cool like that

Ok, that's it I lost all faith in the system.

\m/ (> o <) \m/ .
Finally the vid makes it out... FINALLY. Now we don't have to worry about others trying to sift it. We can just discard those. Don't you see? We don't have to worry any more!

MG i blame you for this.

*comedy

Adding video to channels (Comedy, Terrible) - requested by darkrowan.

don't start a channel war on the * terrible invocation...

hahah VICTORY!

Nowhere near close enough to my record-setting siftrocity.

It's getting there. I'm just shocked it's gotten 31 upvotes.

why shocked? haven't you seen the kind of shit that gets 100 upvotes and nobody complains about it?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

This is such crap. A dark day for the Sift indeed.

But the crowd is eating it up, it must be good? Your standards are all too high. I downvoted only because its denigrating to plastic skeletons.

lol ant upvote FTW

AH HAHAHA! Success!!! Achmed Rulez Teh Jihad!

It does get old quickly but I think it's the initial visual. It' just looks funny to me.

Upvote for the comments

I don't get why people find this funny. It isn't at all funny. I didn't even crack a smile.

lulz

I'll be under my bridge.

Who are offended? Terrorists? Who the fuck empathizes with those nut jobs?

And no, oppressed secular arabs and persians do not become terrorists - they are blown up by them.

So who are offended?

That said, this is a lame puppet suckfest* - upvote for free speech.
