I don't get it. They aren't funny. If you want to butcher audio, do it like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK78YKruulo&t=0m55s

That's a Youtube poop using sentence mixing. I watch those all the time too you could guess.

Being a weaboo draws me towards Nicovideos... which is a website basically full of Youtube Poop music videos for Asians.

Oh they do sentence mixing as well... but its easy for me to miss their jokes as a native English speaker.

By all means post YTPs though. Those are how I discovered Nicovideos in the first place years ago.
Nico Douga isn't always meant to be funny. But occasionally I find something so batshit insane of repulsive it makes me burst out laughing...

Like hearing Moetan say the words "kike" and "nigger" in Engrish (Though that doesn't have much to do with nicovideos I don't think)

Hurrrr.

Yeah I happen to be familiar. I'm just saying, at least sentence mixing can be clever or require some amount of effort and have some value, mainly comedy value. For example, www.youtube.com/watch?v=m84yGucp_uw&t=10m36s

But the Nico stuff. It's just like, catchy tune, maybe from a video game, with some anime character saying a syllable over it repeatedly. All I can try to imagine is that the appeal comes from how easy they are to make. Or maybe if you use an anime and gaming tune that people like they'll be like KAWAII GAMUUUU~ and favorite it. I don't even know.

They aren't that easy to make. Especially if they actually try to make it good.

To make it good requires by-ear pitch shifting. So both Nico MADs and YTPMVs face that challenge.

Above all else though, I admit your right about one thing. Nico isn't comedy. A great deal of it is just memes... but so are YTPs on occasion.

To be honest. I don't think there is much difference between Youtube and Nico. Japanese sense of humor isn't as good though. That's part of the problem. That... or their jokes focus more on visuals than audio.


Nico Douga CAN manipulate words just like YTP though.

Example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuNc6uT1Edc

(I'll find a non musical one someday)

Okay there actually shitty wordplay and puns here but...

[I wonder if mods get paid.]

or if Daijin and ShadowbladeEdge would ever consider being mods (not). would make things easier for them, then again SBE works on Dan while Daijin used to be an Admin somewhere (I think that's what he said). would'nt be surprised if he was the first admin of a particular booru I'm thinking of.

Yes, mods get paid so much, that they don't have to move from their house. They use this spare time to use the computer all day , and eat only food delivered to their house.

They also get all the ladies/men they want and are hailed as ruthless dictators by many of the anonymous legion.

I would. There's all the money for one thing, and the fact that I could help harder if I was a mod. The core reason though is I want to see if I can become a full Mod here before IFM.

It'll be six months in-training in two or three weeks.

It'd scare me if Daijin or Shadowblade became a mod because they seem to take the artist rule quite seriously.

Also, Daijin has vanished.
