Top 5 2005 Things of the Funny

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

And because I am crazydiamondsue, I begin my lists with things that made me guffaw and chortle and other humorous verbs that sound best when spoken with an English accent.



VID

La Resistance by sdwolfpup
WHY: BtVS Season Seven arc set to "La Resistance" from South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut. What was originally a parody of bombastic medleys in the vein of "Les Miserables" becomes Pain Management Therapy. Be it Potentials pain, final season angst or "it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye" misery, this will have you laughing from the moment the operatic "God has smiled upon you this day! A fate of a nation in your haaaaands!" underscores Buffy's speeches to the repeated shots of Canadian born Nathan Fillion (Caleb) during the "Blame Canada! Blame Canada!" refrain. (WARNING: Adult Language.)

FIC
July 25, 2005 - September 8, 2005
Bloody Odin by tabaqui: Spike/Xander (AU, Rated R)
WHY: Oh, tabaqui! First name you think of in funny fic, right? Oh, wait - that should be first name in depth or world-building or vampiric imagery, shouldn't it? But when she decided to get funny with a Viking AU - she did. And the funny isn't just in the crack!fic set-up, there's some ensemble Magic Box Gang gold there.

ICONS
October 21, 2005
Buffyverse icons with "Arrested Development" text by nicole_anell
WHY: Who knew that a tender moment between Michael and GOB could be so easily translated to Spike and Buffy? Or that a "Girls Gone Wild" parody line would equal Cordy boobs?

META

Men of the Buffyverse Make Bad Boyfriends by dovil
WHY: Sometimes pretty + accent or fangs or carpenter just isn't enough, it turns out.
(Do check the comments, else you might miss this about Oz: Oh no, I forgot Oz! Maybe it can be everything is going great and then one day he saunters into the room and lifts his head in greeting and goes, 'Hey. Fire.' And then 10 minutes later you discover that he meant that the kitchen is on fire and you have to flee the house and then the moon comes up and he turns you into dinner. That would definitely put him on the bad boyfriend list.)

OTHER

Buffyverse Character Spins on "The More You Know" PSAs by stoney321
WHY: What if the Buffyverse characters were forced to atone (redemption never ends!) by making court ordered PSAs? For example:
PSA #6: Be a Mentor
So, what? Go now? Hey. I'm Faith. So like, there are kids who are all jacked up because they don't have anyone cracking skulls at home, you know? And some of them are weak and can't figure some shit out. And, uh, you should look into helping some of these punks so I don't have to go behind them and save their dumb asses because no grown-up gave them the sense to not wander the streets at night. God. IDIOTS.

Some people just shouldn't breed, you know? Oh, right. Yeah, call your local chapter of "Big Brother" or "Big Sister," or whatever the hell they are called and help one of these kids not be so goddamned stupid. WHAT? I said what you wanted me to say, God.

Pffft. I'm outtie.

And so am I. Just sharing the laughter and love...

Whee! Dates, ratings, descriptions and all thanks very much for these.
I was so hypnotised by those icons :)

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'm all obsessive with the dates, aren't I? *g* Those icons were fun. And thanks for the tags, too - I wasn't sure if I was supposed to add them, or if the mods were entering them. That's a lot of work for you guys! Thanks for the excellent job with the community!

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

No problem with the tags, if you see something wrong you can change it. Lately it's very much been I tag therefore I am.
Thanks very much for all your help too!

[katekat]

those were awesome! and the only one i'd seen was tabaqui's... the icons were precious (and why, oh why did they have to cancel AR show too?)

thanks for the recs.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

I know - I'm so torn up by AD's cancellation that I have to stare at those icons to make me feel better. Glad I could provide links to giggles!

[sdwolfpup.livejournal.com]

Thank you for putting La Resistance on the list! What a lovely way to start the new year. :) I hadn't seen the fic, so I look forward to reading it.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Hee! I love that vid so very, very much. I'm a huge Xander fan and my husband's all about Anya, so the fact that we can giggle even through eye-poking and death by Turok-Han is just a testament to your genius...thanks so much for one of my fave things of 2005!

I've seen all of these but the last one, and had Bloody Odin on my Humor list too. Nice assortment!

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Cute icon. Oh, wasn't "Bloody Odin" the coolest? *g*

[tabaqui]

Oh!
You make my day!!
:)

*i'd have never seen this if not for reremouse.
*smooches you*

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Hee!! Yeah, I keep meaning to post the last two and then pimp these in my journal. Of course, I also keep meaning to read fic, write fic, tell everyone how awesome ladycat777 was in person...you know the drill. :)

[tabaqui]

Hehe.
I know the drill. I'm writing but not posting and i'm being *lazy* and not writing and....blah.

And i keep reading stuff i want to pimp but then i'm all 'wait, my flist is kinda spander-oriented, they're not gonna care about Supernatural RPS or whatever' and then i forget what i was doing *anyway*....

*sheesh*
