The Mysterious Mr. Enter / Jonathan Rozanski's "Growing Around" - IndieGoGo Campaign Failed, John going off the deep end, "Turning Red" is ignorant about 9/11 (later retracted)

[Mr Roboto]

Is anyone here not aware of the jelly donuts/rice balls meme from Pokemon? Before you google it, take a look at this and tell me if you understand the joke.

Spoiler: explanation of the joke

In the English dub of Pokemon, Brock refers to a rice ball as a jelly donut since localizers thought western kids wouldn't know what a rice ball was, but they didn't change the visuals at all so it's just Brock biting into a rice ball and calling it a donut.

I'm bringing this up because this is supposedly Enter "doing it right" when it comes to references. Someone in his discord asked why his reference works when he bashed Rise of TMNT for a My Neighbor Totoro visual gag.

It's like the story just stops for a dumb joke that doesn't work written and most likely won't work visually either. Also someone involved with animation making a "jelly donuts" meme is the equivalent of a Redditor posting big changes or 69 = nice. It's unfunny as shit

As a bonus, here's affirmation that we're all just haters and trolls. Ironic given how Enter's career is based on telling others their series doesn't work and their ideas are stupid but those comments are invalid only if turned against him.

"This is a big question that I can't answer here" So where can you answer it, Enter?

While I wouldn't say the "jelly donuts" meme is obscure, the hypocrisy is astounding.
What's even the context for Enter's jelly donut "joke", does it have a point that goes into the episode or is it just there for the sake of being there?

It's not an important scene and it could easily be removed. It's just the Japanese character cooking for a holiday and Shelly happens to walk by and call the rice balls donuts.
The more I read it, the less I understand it. At first I thought it was meant to be interpreted as a simple "character expects one thing but it turns out it's something else" but it just comes out of nowhere and I can't stretch my imagination far enough for someone to mistake a rice ball right in front of them for a donut. You might be able to say it's absurdist humor but we know for a fact that's not what Enter was going for. At best it's unintentional absurdist humor, at worst it's a masturbatory jab at a cartoon the writer doesn't like, that ends up being at the show's expense since it's just so dumb.

You know what would actually make the joke work? Shelly is the jock girl who gets hit in the head a lot if I remember correctly. If she got hit in the head and stumbled over to the rice balls and erroneously called them donuts, that might be able to be considered a joke.

I could see the joke working if she went to a Japanese restaurant having no idea what Japanese food was.

God, this is a reference so pointless, it would make Family Guy groan.

Could have almost worked if the character ordered a riceball to be delivered from japan to the USA and when they open the box there’s a jelly donut inside along with some jab like “huh, I guess something got lost in translation.”
Not exactly funny, but it fits the “reference that works without knowing the reference” he was referring to

 

[Bread Fetishist]

Okay, so let’s just say it’s not supposed to be a reference and is instead supposed to just be random, absurdist humor. Going by Enter’s line of thought, the joke doesn’t work because a jelly doughnut and a rice ball look nothing alike. I mean, didn’t he complain about this shit in his Planet Sheen review? But I guess it’s a-okay when he does it.

You don't understand, this time Enter's going to do it right

Also was there a proper OP getting made for Enter? Or did that just get forgotten?

It's still getting made. I'm waiting on the last third of it by @friends o' niall but once that's over with, all I need are the images, which I can find on my own in this thread

Wait Enter has a brother? Also what the hell, Enter actually looks like a normal person here.

I didn't know Enter had a brother, do we know what their relationship is like?

Yup, he's mentioned him once or twice in his vids. His name's Brandon Plourde. That pic is said to have been taken in 2013. I think Enter said they're on good terms but they don't really talk to each other. Some posts on his facebook have girls calling him a perv in middle school but that he's a sweet guy. He does seem to have grown into a pretty normal guy and is even getting married despite growing a beard and looking exactly like Enter now.

 

[Somar]

Is he suppose to be Enter's older or younger brother?

It's like Enter from a parallel universe

Younger by like 4 years.

The CHAD version of Mr. Enter. I'm not sure what the deal is with their last names though. Their father is Brian Plourde so I don't know why Enter says his last name is Rozanski. It's possible Enter's mom didn't take the Plourde last name until after John was born, or maybe he got it changed out of dislike for his father. Or maybe he's been lying about his real last name all along, who knows.

Are those two girls his sisters? He did mention in his Loud House review that he was from a large family, and there's no fucking way he had a date to prom.

I'm not certain who they are but I don't think they have any sisters. The girl next to Enter might be one of their cousins since she posted on his facebook a few times and looks kinda like her. The girl next to Brandon might be his current fiance. I also don't know what event they're dressed up for. If the 2013 date is accurate, wouldn't John be too old to go to a prom?

Well, that explains the rice balls at least.

Isn't he asexual, though? Perhaps that night contributed to it...

 

[CoconutCat]

I'm not certain who they are but I don't think they have any sisters.

It's implied in his Love Struck (FOP) review that he has at least one sister. And like I said, he said he came from a large family in his Loud House review, so the brother in the photos can't be his only sibling.

Unless Enter was lying the whole time...

 

[Just_a_Bored_Guy]

Is he suppose to be Enter's older or younger brother?

Enter is the oldest of 4 children, if I recall correctly. I think he mentioned it in his old Q&A, but I'm not sure.

I did some digging into their facebooks a few days ago and never found any connections to a sister but perhaps it's just impossible to find since a lot of stuff has been marked private. The closest thing I found was a pic of Enter's mom (Jennifer Rozanski) with Brandon and a girl and someone commented that Jennifer and the girl look alike. I think the wording was that she was like a "mini me" or something to that effect but I brushed it off as awkward phrasing.

There's also a comment on Brian Plourde's profile with him bitching about having to pay child support but that he hopes to see his kids again. He specifically used the word "kids" and not "sons" so take that for what you will.
