Goodness gracious! Apparently there was a lot more animosity for one another on this board than I thought. Shocked

Damn. I leave for 24 hours and look what happens. I guess I've learned my lesson.

Damn. </Farrooq>

Everything Syd has written about has been quoted and referenced for 20 years already, unless it was astonishingly bad, and even then it still probably was.

I must say, I'm getting angry at the perfect time. Sure I may no longer make it past round 1 in the character battle, but I have a feeling I'm taking people down with me. On a related note, new content from me on the way that will go live just before my vote. I'm sure that's a coincidence Twisted Evil

yeah, isn't this a pop culture website? And isnt this the first on notice thread? Seems to me there's an overreaction. Whatever.

Be cool man, this ain't nothin to sweat. Cool

leave being funny to people who are original.

Clearly, you're retarded. If you weren't, then maybe you were trying to be ironic. Most of what's "funny" at this point isn't original. You want original? It's not Colbert, or Will Ferrell, or Syd Lexia, and certainly not Dane Cook. You want original? Try Shakespeare.

Also, one single reference to being "on notice" doesn't make it overused. It sucks for you that you've probably seen it on other message boards or you may use it with your friends, but that doesn't mean anyone else is tired of it. There could be people on this board who got a chuckle out of it or may have laughed their asses off if they didn't watch Colbert.

My main point is, the last time I checked you weren't the funniest person on Earth or even on this forum, so if you have a problem with the type of humor someone uses, click on a different thread and don't be the fucking "humor police" around here.

Real quick, I should mention that Shakespeare's stuff was actually ludicrously derivative. However, that doesn't make it less great.

And that aside, I agree that there's no reason people here or elsewhere can't quote stuff to their heart's content, popular or otherwise. I understand it can get kinda frustrating when everyone does it, but remember that the stuff is popular for a reason, and you can't control what becomes mainstream.

And for the record, I did get a kick out of the Colbert reference, Jeebus.

Oh, absolutely. Most of his earlier plays are just one verbose dick joke. As You Like It comes to mind immediately.

As DarkMaze said, the stuff was very derivative. You want original? Try Beowulf.

Beowulf wasn't a comedy, Turd Ferguson. We were talking about comedies.

And I think by derivative he meant "going for the lowest common denominator", not "taking from something else". I could be wrong though.

Actually, I did mean "taking from something else", but both are true. Smile

Yeah, I assumed he meant taking from something else. Afterall, it's the fucking definition of derivative. I believe the word you imagined he used was base. I can see the confusion. They both have an A and an E. I'm trying to make some joke about American Eagle, but nothing comes to mind.

See, I would have gone with something from A & E, the cable channel. Mainly because I'm not a homo whose first thought of the letters A and E would be American Eagle. And THAT'S mainly because I'm not a homo who shops at American Eagle.

I heard that was plagiarized... Maybe Homer's "The Odyssey"? Wait... no, he heard that from someone and then retold it the best apparently... Ah, screw it, we got all our stories from the Gods!

If I remember my English class correctly, Beowulf is actually the oldest known written literary work.

"Beowulf (recognized as the oldest known literary work)"

However, other sites recognize it as the "oldest English epic"

Either way it's older than Shakespeare with the time of creation being around (700-1000 A.D.).

Just clearing stuff up, or making it worse? Oh well, I tried.

Right, A.D. Not before the wonderful era of Greek tragedies. Cool

I believe the Greek stuff was predominantly word of mouth, and also with tragedies like Alexander the Great burning the greatest library of the time in a drunken stupor, any written works are all recreations at this point. So let me basically clarify:

As I understand it, Beowulf is the oldest known literary work of which the original copy is still in existance. I could be wrong and it's simply the oldest English (well, Old English) manuscript.

#edit: and cave drawings and the Rosetta stone don't count as "literary works"
