This blob would have a great time with those redditors who's fetish is exactly that "shitty trope" being complained about lol
 
It might be an autistic take, but as the years have gone by (good Lord that was posted 12 years ago, I'm feeling old), I feel there's a kernel of truth to /v/'s old "fun is a buzzword" adage.
Hard agree. Back in the day, Steve Jackson Games's style guide specifically banned using the word "fun" in a game review, as it is so vague and subjective it doesn't really mean anything.
You need to explain why it is fun, what about the game was entertaining.
 
Indeed I think the general success of Rifftrax's live shows may have been what convinced Joel to return.
I think it was Jim Mallon's death.
He owned the IP, and defended it to the point of taking action over The Film Crew since that included riffing and sketch comedy. Mike and company stopped doing Film Crew and went on to Rifftrax, which dropped sketch comedy and added "Just the Riffs," MP3s designed to be played along with copyrighted work, so Rifftrax didn't need the rights to distribute the films they riffed. Rifftrax also releases VODs when they can get the rights.

EDIT: My bad; there is no evidence he is dead. I got that impression somehow.

If the Status Quo remains as-is, Bob will not.
If you've read CS Lewis' Narnia series, the last book ("The Last Battle") has a sequence where the world has ended and we're going through a coda of what happens after.

In it, Lewis has a scene where a group of dwarves have actually gotten to go to Heaven (really!), but they don't believe it. The darkly funny sequence has Aslan all but showering gifts onto the dwarves followed by them convincing themselves that it's all lies and illusions. The conclusion to it is this line:
“They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison; and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out.”

I say all that to say, I could fully believe Bobby could go up to Heaven itself, and he would convince himself it was Hell. (Indeed it can be hard not to read the Great Divorce and see a bit of Bobby in every scene.)

I had forgotten Jim Mallon died. You are right to an extent, though I had heard they buried the hatchet and Mallon released his death grip on the rights while still alive.

But yes you are correct on a lot of the rest, I just didn't want to shit up the thread with TOO much autism. ;) My larger point regardless was that there had been sustained interest demonstrated in riffing movies for many years before MST3k got revived.

Oh yeah I remember that very well; Bob would be one of the not-so-great dwarves. Bob is exactly the kind of person who would put himself into that precise mindset - he's in heaven or a really really nice place, but since it's from Skydaddy, he convinces himself it's just a dark dirty stable so much that he can't see for shit and mistakes banquet-level food for livestock fodder.

As a matter of fact, Bob would be very much like Meg's little bro Charles Wallace in A Wrinkle In Time. On the way to rescue their father, Charles Wallace ends up being brainwashed by an Entity called IT on the planet Camazotz - a land of extreme enforced conformism - which the kid thought was a great idea because it would lead them to finding their father. When they're given food, Meg only tastes sand, while Charles Wallace thinks he's eating delicious banquet-level food.

To hearken back to an earlier scene in The Last Battle involving those selfsame dwarves, where the Talking Horses were released to help battle the Calormenes, the Dwarves shot each and every horse, killing all of them before they could even reach King Tirian. But on the other hand, they also shot the Calormenes. Their only explanation was "The Dwarves are for the Dwarves". Bob would definitely rationalize such a thing in that sort of way.

bobbo retardo hate for AI is really weird. he consumes slop in every single facet of his worthless life and he himself is useless. why the hate
Bob thinks "robots" should only take the Physical Labor jobs, not the Thinking Jobs. For a machine to take a job in the realm of Thinkers ™️ violates Bob's principles. One has to wonder if he picked up the idea of Humans controlling machines directly with their minds, like the Hive does in Season 4 of The Transformers, "The Rebirth". (The one with the Headmasters and Targetmasters and shit and where the intro was mostly pasted together from toy commercials) After all, he is something of a Transformers sperg.
it goes against his techno futurist dreams to be against ai.
But for Bob, AI is supposed to run robots to do the physical labor, leaving only jobs for Thinkers, so that the Obsolete MAGAnaiseghoulen can finally be rounded up and denied Oxygen in the Wastelands, for they are no longer needed. Bob has repeated ad nauseum that "We don't need these THINGS (MAGA CHUD Midwestern Ghouls)", but if AI can do THINKING ™️ jobs, it shows him his worst nightmare: That Thinking ™️ is obsolete as well, and by extension, so is he. Especially considering his meager brainpower. For he is The Kwisatz Tarderach, Lard of Lynn, Last of his Line, Masshole Mussolini, Pol Potbelly, Ham Dugo, Ba'ab al-Movie AKA Sheikh Diabeeto, Bobby the Smoothbrain Heenan Chipman, Bob the Blue Curtain Builder, the crayon-eating, paste-consooming Blue Curtain Analysis Expert.

I liked MST3K, and even the newer seasons introduced me to bad movies that I ended up liking. The special effects got better. But it seems to me they let their early successes get to their heads. They want things to be bigger, brighter, and glitzier. Instead, they should've taken a cue from the movies they mock and kept inside of their budget (I also think Crow was badly miscast.) Finally, they should've found a way to make this show self-sustaining.
My only question fo when they brought MST3k back, why in the hell was Will Wheaton even allowed there? Even for a VEEERY small part.

Much like it is for Bob, tweeting is Gail's job now, even if DC is still cutting her checks. I don't think she was ever a good writer, but having not read her stories I am just making assumptions based on some of the "comics are cringe" memes I see now and then on Social Media that include her stuff.
She used to be a solid writer when she first got started, but her fanbase was a bunch of lefties who loved her simply for including some diverse characters in her team books. Every time they praised her for bringing up woke issues, she'd get a dopamine hit, so she started pandering more to them because she, like many people in comics, assumed that woke college kids were this massive untapped market that they needed to try and appeal to. And then they all learned, to their disappointment, those people don't actually buy comics, they just like reposting and quoting out of context panels on tumblr and twitter. But much like the other writers, she refused to accept she fucked up and doubled down.

Only if the other cool kids could get in and convince him of that (So they don't have to spend eternity with him). If Bob discovered there was an afterlife, his entitlement would cause him to expect to come in. Those gifts would just be what he deserves after a lifetime of his suffering. Now if Satan got to him first and convinced him how awesome hell is, he absolutely would fall for it.

This does make me think, where would Bob go? If we look at the seven sins, Bob is guilty of all of them. Plus he has wished for the death and suffering of a huge amount of people for years. However, then you have the kinder interpretation of God where the idea is that an all loving deity would be much more forgiving and Heaven's entry wouldn't be as strict as some think it is. Could Bob get in? Possibly, and it's all for the reasons Bob hates: Bob is so small, insignificant and worthless he can't do any damage. While he would like to, he can't hurt anyone and is too much of a coward to do it. Outside of some bullying back in school, his stories of bar fights are so obviously fake and his attempts to convince us he readily uses and discards women are also laughably false.

When I die, if I ascend to a higher plane and find Bob there, I'd shrug and move on. But if he was cast down? I'd say "Yeah, makes sense".

I just assumed it was from seeing The Jetsons where all humans have to do is push buttons to get everything they want and Bob decided that was awesome.

Will Wheaton's entire career is based on his role in Star Trek. He gets jobs only so his employers can say "Hey, look, here's that one kid from Star Trek!"

It's hilarious to see Bobbo start to refer to MCU movies as just frivolous kids' stuff to try to dodge criticism. It's just for fun friendo. When things were hitting on all cylinders, Bob was calling the MCU the new mythology. IIRC, he was comparing the movie posters to the art in the Sistine Chapel. Except, since it is newer, it is better. Millenia from now, people would be pondering chick Thor, not that white guy. Despite believing he is a thinker, he can't seem to think at all. He just reacts emotionally.

That notorious tweet about Trump robbing him of the immortal robot body, space ship, and robot friends he earned (lesbun Asian robots of course) stands out. Physical ability must be irrelevant, in Bob's mind, so everyone can finally understand how great he is. When people value intelligence and creativity above petty physical things, Bob believes he will get the recognition he deserves. He's aggressively opposed to his own superior future.

Musk, whatever you may think of him, is pursuing things Bobert needs for his superior future. Naturally, Bob hates him and wants him to fail. AI, he hates it. Research into an interface between the brain and computers? Hates it, because tech bros. Lowering the cost of space flight? Tech bros again friendo. The people that are interested in space exploration and pioneered the field? Replace them. Wrong color.

He's not just stupid, his brain is broken.

If Bob makes it to Heaven, it means he repented. Which, nothing is impossible, but I don't see it happening before the beetus gets him.

Bobby is indeed exactly in this situation. Living in one of the most peaceful, most prosperous place on Earth, with his physical needs and (meager) intellectual appetite satisfied and then some. Yet he is still angry all the time because he imagines someone having stolen his imaginary jetpacks. Skydaddy isn't even part of the equation; I can imagine an atheist being grateful for the people who made lives good.

it goes against his techno futurist dreams to be against ai.
His Techonfuturist dreams is to have AI in the hands of the right people. i.e. pee o'sea trannies. Bobby cannot tolerate the lives of "subhumans" improving through AI. The dwarve's malcontent stems at least in part from everyone being as happy as anyone else. This is unacceptable to Bobby and SJWs in general.

This does make me think, where would Bob go?
If I were God I'd give him the company of 72 Lindsay Ellises.
 
I can't help but sperg out. I've been thinking about Bob too much lately. He's learned enough to know he shouldn't talk about moon wheat or turning everything between the coasts into Jurassic Park. He hasn't changed though. He's stuck, emotionally and intellectually, at about 13 years old. I have a theory.

Thanks to his shitty book, we know a lot. The biggest thing is, he has no idea how other people think and behave. He can only see others as imperfect reflections of himself, or irredeemable bullies. He was trying to portray himself as being a vulnerable protagonist in the book. Mario helped him through those hard times. Mario was like Sgt. Hartman. Mario found a pile of clay and crafted him into The Movie Bob. I stubbed my toe earlier. It was my own personal Vietnam. Feel my pain!

One of the other outstanding features about Bob, and people like him, is they actively refuse to learn anything about the stuff they should care about. Why would he want a space ship? He's never lived more than 60 miles away from the home where he grew up. Now, he's right back there. What the fuck would Bob do in space? He doesn't know. He saw it on TV when he was a Boblet, so that's how it should be. There's all sorts of cool space shit going on. Bob doesn't care. Epcot and cartoons told him there were space ships in the future. He earned one.

Lesbians. Bob is way into lesbians. He's not just into the sexual part, he is into the idea. I was 13 once. I got older. Bob didn't. A full grown male with a fetish for lesbians is not normal. I'm no shrink, but I suspect Bob was sexually humiliated in his early teens. That's right about where he stopped maturing and shut off. Bob has an ego. Why wouldn't the pubescent Boblet think that he could ask the hot chick to the dance? Also, with the beetus, booze, and obesity impotence might have a role.

As an aside, I knew a guy in high school that fucked up like I imagine Bob might have. He had a car, his brother was over 21, and we had similar musical tastes. If a man in black showed up at my door and told me he was an alien, I'd just nod my head. He was obsessed with a high status, very attractive cheerleader. He was in, sort of, with the outsider group I ran with, and he was the least cool.

He approached her in the hallway and asked her out. I guess she just disemboweled him. I wasn't there. He shouldn't have tried it at all. If he had to take his shot, he shouldn't have done it in front of everyone. He just fled school. He wound up getting involuntarily committed a few years later. There's no doubt in my mind that the humiliation played a big part. The funny thing is, that dude was way more well adjusted than Bob has ever been.

The best I can tell, Bob survives by mimicry. The latest shit in the middle-east is just the most recent example. All he can do is retweet approved sources saying generic shit. He doesn't think. He has no soul. He resents his brother because dad respected his degree and career. His brother wishes he had an e-career and no responsibility. They're a fucked up clan of bizarrely balding mutants. For all those that thought he loved his brother's kids, the bloom has gone off the rose. They're watching Minecraft vids on their tablets, not superior film reviews. They don't look at him like they used to. Mayo Ghouls?
