The Agony and the Irony.

HA HA, OH WOW

The best satire is that which hides behind its veil of seriousness, only peeking occasionally out to stick its tongue out at you.

Click to embiggen. I blurred the parts I thought had the best chance of being real names.

Well, we’ll be packing our things, because we’re out of a job! This guy has provided all the humor we need (well, him and WowCrendor) as a Warcraft community. There’s just no room left for bootstrappy humorists like us.

If anyone needs a poster about how one needn’t be crazy to work here, but it helping, feel free to contact me. I’ll turn in my timecard and access to employee discounts. There’ll be a raffle for my place in the employee fridge, with the proceeds going to the church roof.

I’ll turn in my uniforms on Monday. Tricia, you’re gonna have to deliver my Girl Scout cookie order to my house now, as I won’t be here to pick it up. I have direct deposit, so I won’t have to stop in for my next check, I should just get that, right?

How can we make this better? See what running a not-that-funny joke into the ground looks like now, sir?

  5. Oh I’ve seen this guy. Just about fell out of my chair. Got over it. IDK, over-the-top joke RSPs can be pretty spectacular in small doses. It’s good to not see ‘em too often, because they have to be able to catch you off guard to be funny. ;)

    I once thought of creating a parody RP character and trying to muscle in as many culture references as I can in the history section, like “A long, long time ago, in galaxy far away, [Space] was sent back in time for a crime he did not commit, to save Shaun Conner. Everything was going well until, a couple of guys, who were up to no good, started causing trouble in the neighborhood, he got one little fight and his aunt got scared and sent him to Hogwarts to learn the ways of magic, there Gandalf gave him the “one-ring” and sent him off to Mordor in the hope that [Space] shall become America’s next top model.”

    But then I realized I’d sooner RP than create a parody of it. A little subtlety wouldn’t kill the writer of that MRP.

  8. Subtlety? What’s that? Can you eat it?

    Srsly though, yeah…it’s a joke that’s been done better, but … uh … kudos to them for having the audacity to try an overdone joke? Maybe it’s being done ironically. *Squints* it’s like standing between two mirrors, you can see the irony going off into forever!

    Subtility would be nice, of course… but I still liked it. Particulary that part about parading in silvermoon claming his true identity for keeping it secret, since it works so well for others. Lots of Laughs.

    I tend to give my bank-alts far-out stuff like this. It’s been done before, but who really cares? They’re great fun to write.

    Isn’t someone going to gripe about him taking a joking stance on the sex industry?

  15. I get the impression someone might not be taking Goldshire entirely seriously.

    Are some people reading this as a serious MRP? Doesn’t the first line say “Satire” on it? Or do people not read? They’re kind of insulting the dude and/or servers when it’s… a joke on the original writer’s part, making fun of all the retarded MRP’s out there. How do I know this? I’ve been in a guild with him since I started playing. And there’s people saying it should be more subtle (Like, ninja it in there?) but… there seems to be too many idiots who don’t get it’s a joke as it is (really, really overt and sarcastic). So any more subtlety would confuse the mass of retards even more.

    People who take this guy’s seriously shouldn’t be allowed within 50 miles of a computer. It’s intentionally terrible.
