Being a sarcastic dumbass in Openbook.

Hail and well met everyone. Esquire here, your MC for todays foray into openbook. Today, I investigate the phrase "how soon is now". Brace yourselves on hold onto your dialysis machines.
Somebody get this lady half her vowels back, maybe then she'll shut her trap.
No shit, this guy looks like he's about to punch me right now. Fun Fact: 90% of people who meet me look like him. The other 10% are in the process of getting a bludgeoning instrument.
They call me mellow yeellowww

I'll give you the number of a nice butcher.
A sad day for the family of Johnathon "Johnno" Christ.
This woman traveled through time and six kinds of ugly to let you know that you can give your credit card details to a legitimate organisation.
Get back to work!
Fine, until I saw you.
I think those meds are supposed to stop whatever this guy has.
I bet she found that thing under the couch or near a pile of discarded couch stuffing.
I hope you fail the entire semester.
What she said.

Something about eenie meenie...

Esquire: Hello readers, I see that half of our usual readership is away, making our total viewing...0. Nevertheless, we strive to keep delivering obscure, out of date reasoning in the stupid world of video clips.
Crowbar: It wounds me that you would imply our reasoning is out of date. We are totally hip and radical.
Esquire: Reaganomics!
Crowbar: Funkylicious!
Esquire: Assault and battery!
Crowbar: Eenie Meenie!
Esquire: Random words? Of course not. They will soon be associated with each other very very closely, after this review.
Crowbar: Wait, we aren't, are we?
Crowbar: You fucker! You said we were going to Vegas!
Esquire: This is Vegas, just a very shitty version, all desert, no fun. Like, say, Saudi Arabia.
Crowbar: And Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber?
Esquire: I...oh no.
Esquire: I hope he has a cellphone, so his mom can pick him up later.
Crowbar: Or an asthma puffer, so he doesn't die from the exertion of waddling around on the dance floor.
Esquire: What kind of sex appeal does this Peanut MnM have?
Crowbar: Well, I suppose some people have poor vision. They might see him sitting down and think that he's a beanbag. Then things happen which I shall not ever let myself visualise again.
Esquire: DAWM AW DEEZ BOODIFOOW GUWS
Esquire: They are laughing because..ah, fuck it. Beiber is too easy to make fun of. His hair is a joke. His face is a joke. His lipstick is a joke. You go ahead and agonize over what jokes could have been funny had they not been done before, and I'll amuse myself with these nailclippers
Crowbar: Hey now, that's uncalled for. Bieber is a gigantic hit with preteen girls, teen girls and pedophilic old women. That means he must have talent, right?
Esquire: I think I cut too deep. Fuck, now that's gonna sting in the morning.
Crowbar: What unholy creature from the pits of Hell thought that this was a good combination?
Esquire: I like the kid in Beibers shot in the blue shirt. He's being hit on by some chick. He's like 9. I think Beibers a pimp.
Crowbar: This is where Bieber's money actually comes from. He seduces all these young girls with promises of being able to touch his feathery hair, then he just whores them out to the kind of kids we were at age 9.
Esquire: And Sean seems to really be struggling with the whole concept of "try not to touch girls when you first meet them". He reminds me of Lenny, from Of Mice and Men. He's gonna break those girls. He just wanted to pet the rabbits.
Crowbar: Does that mean Bieber's going to have to mercy-kill him at the end of this video?
Esquire: It depends if Beiber's ho's are packing heat.
Crowbar: Oh shit. They've cloned Sean Kingston, and he's out for blood.
Esquire: It's like an infection. Soon everyone on the streets will be awkwardly touching each other and talking like they have a mouth full of cottonballs.
Crowbar: And singing in that nasally, chubby-sounding voice of his.
Esquire: BWWWWWWAAAAAAANNNNS
Crowbar: You can't hear the music, gentle reader, but the chorus to this song is gibberish. Frankly, if I was Justin Bieber, I wouldn't be calling people shorty.
Esquire: First of all, it's "shawty". Second of all, what line is he trying? The "Let's go back to my place where we will be all alone except for my mom caus she'll be driving and then she has to go to work so we can play the xbox" or the "I no longer think you have kooties"
Crowbar: Shawty? Shawty isn't a word, Esquire. If I asked an Oxford professor to define 'shawty', he would kick me in the balls for being a bitch.
Esquire: Ummm...Crowbar? I'm quite sure shawty is an actual word. They have "bling bling" in there too.
Crowbar: I have journalistic integrity, so I'm going to wait until after this review to shoot you and then myself.
Esquire: How about you first, then I make awkward sexual advances on your dog?
Crowbar: That sentence almost made me want to listen to more of this song to drown out your noise. Almost
Esquire: WOO AW DA BWEZ DAW EEN DA WAAWWW
Crowbar: Pink shirt. I'm sorry, pink shirt? If any other man were to wear a pink shirt, he would be mocked, and justly so. What lets Bieber get away with this?
Esquire: Several generations of wogs. Heck, they wear a pink shirt, it's cool, as long as your collars popped and you look like you don't give a shit when coddling you girlfriend, but unpop that collar and look at her for once? Your a faggot.
Crowbar: Bieber's collar isn't popped though. Even now, a faint howl echoes over the moors. The werewogs are hungry.
Esquire: You may think we are being a tad racist, but there is an honest to God store in Europe called Wogland. It's in Bosnia. Go figure. Also, "Ia, Ia! Hear the eldritch howls of "FUUULLLY SIIIK"
Crowbar: To your left, you can see Bieber in his natural habitat, getting rejected by sane women. To your right is a picture of Jabba the Hutt.
Esquire: I've made too many cracks about Peanut MnM's voice sounding indistinguishable from human language. So I'm gonna lay off that. Beiber, should have popped your collar bro. Now your gonna have to spend the night awkwardly fiddling with your balls in your pockets.
Crowbar: Fuck off bitch, I'm playing Zelda
Esquire: Is that what he's looking at? The picture? The hell kind of guy is this?
Crowbar: The kind of guy who would wear a lone diamond earring with the gold chain. You know, those were valuable once, but they're ruined now.
Esquire: Tainted, by what the wogs call "El Ugaybro". I wonder what the market price is after it's been stuck in between the rolls of fat on his stomach after a long night of being rejected?
Crowbar: Worthless if you sell it as jewelry, but his fatty sweat can be scraped off and used as a substitue for kerosene.
Esquire: Can we have one conversation, just one, where you don't talk about harvesting black people?
Crowbar: It...it's just a hobby.
Esquire: It's not victimless, like twilight fan collecting. Black people have feelings.
Crowbar: I'm pretty sure Sean Kingston only feels hunger, like a rabid animal.
Esquire: I bet that when he's hunting for 14 year old girls, he makes a low gurgling, like a vuvuzela.
Crowbar: I feel a little bad for that kid in the middle. He clearly wants death, but I don't have the heart to put him out of his misery.
Esquire: See the way he reaches for the camera? He's clearly asking for help. He hasn't been assimilated yet. The girl on the right has. Note the expressionless eyes. The man on the left has resigned to trying to chisel his way out. It's futile. He knows it is. But it keeps his mind out of the awful realization that he's in a Beiber/Kingston video.
Crowbar: I think this is what Harlan Ellison originally wanted to write about in 'I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream', but couldn't do it because it was too scary.
Esquire: Watch this picture while listening to "Laughing With..." then you too shall learn the meaning of futility.
Crowbar: It's like the collaborative efforts of Kafka, Nietzche and a bucket of dissociative drugs.
Esquire: He leant low to the ground, grabbed some dirt with his fingertips. Smelled it. It's scent filled his nostrils. "Another regular video?". He laughed. He really hoped it was. Before he smelt it, he had his doubts. But now it was definite. "It's Gaga".
Crowbar: Dammit Esquire, I had just managed to put all those memories behind me.
Esquire: Have you been going to the therapist I recommended? You should really learn to deal with Bad Romance in a healthy way. Those guinea pigs have already been traumatized enough.
Crowbar: EVERY TIME I LOOK INTO THEIR EYES I SEE HER
Esquire: Angus, please no, don't do this, I love you, we all love you. Not again Angus, please.
Crowbar: On your left, Bieber contemplates objectivist epistemology. On your right, Kingston indicates where his bikini area is, and your life is worse for it.
Esquire: "Hey baby, want me to pee inside you? That's the gist I got from the playboy I found! But then my mom burned it. Turns out your not supposed to burn magazines cause they st-Oh, okay, your walking away...bye!" That is of course, the translated version. In real life, that would be an almost maddening array of "wa" "fwa" and "dwa"'s. It would be like the adults from Peanuts suddenly all got together and made a voice from hell.
Crowbar: Not pictured; people with dignity.
Crowbar: Esquire, help! Which one do I punch!
Esquire: Let's stop and review:
  • Peanut MnM who warbles
  • Salad bowl head
Crowbar: Actually, you know who I want to punch? You, gentle readers. You let this happen. You didn't try to stop the rise of the Bieber Empire.
Esquire: Now now Angus, They are not to blame. If anything, it's the Greys. They wanted people to get used to large eyes and globular heads. It's them.
Crowbar: I was vaguely hoping we could do a review in which you didn't bring up aliens.
Esquire: Bad Romance
Crowbar: You did it then, too! Do you have some kind of sieve-like memory that filters every event that makes you look stupid?
Esquire: I know what this is really about. It's about the raccoon tail isn't it? You don't like it.
Crowbar: Yes, I don't like the raccoon tail. I never liked the raccoon tail. I tell you this every single day.
Esquire: I know, but every time I look at that mole, all is forgiven.
Crowbar: Kingston's worried about the sweat in his armpits and the tightening of his pants.
Esquire: If he becomes anymore unsure about whether or not he wants to hold hands it's gonna become a philosophical debate.
Crowbar: He can join Bieber in his contemplation of mortality, and they can both be as one in my deepest, darkest, most repressed memories.
Esquire: What about that night at new years when you tired out, fell asleep, and I went through your pants?
Crowbar: Trust me, I was conscious throughout that. I had a purpose, there. Enjoy your fortieth birthday, by the way.
Esquire: I hear a ticking, is that bad?

Crowbar: Wow, three whole minutes of this crap. I could have achieved nirvana, but no, that's lost to me now.
Esquire: Really now, what would you have done in those three minutes that was more important then talking to me?
Crowbar: I...I would have read about Deadpool.
Esquire: And then cry.

Something about Bad Romance

Esquire: Hi folks, I'm Esquire, your lecherous neighborhood furry.
Crowbar: Hi, I'm Crowbar. I'll be administering painkillers throughout this experience.
Esquire: Let's begin this trek through the swamp of Gaga videos shall we?
Crowbar: Lady Gaga, with approximately half the douchebags of the internet present.
Esquire: Is that guy on the right the wimpy cousin of Juggernaut?
Crowbar: The crash helmet keeps him FABULOUS!
Esquire: On the floor there is the amount of acid Lady Gaga and her compadres dropped.
Esquire: Fuck, what do you think the casting call for this video was like?
Crowbar: We need guido douches, dancers of unclear gender and a bunch of gay cenobites, stat!
Crowbar: I just realized that there's a dalmation in these shots. I'm willing to call that animal cruelty.
Esquire: Maybe the dog is on dognip or something
Crowbar: As you can tell, readers, Esquire's knowledge on dogs only extends to how to effectively waterboard them.
Esquire: LET ME DREAM
Esquire: I can't see shit!
Crowbar: Frankly, it's better if she can't see. She might kill herself out of the shame of being Lady GaGa and creating another freakish video.
Esquire: I think her glasses are based on primitive logic, if she can't see you, you can't see her.
Crowbar: I think it's less about being primitive and more about being high as a fucking kite.
Esquire: You wait until the future, when we have an uglier Gaga doing more strange things like castrating otters with a spoon onstage until eventually Chris Crocker dumps his face in a bucket of makeup and tells us to leave Gaga alone.
Crowbar: Your weekend activities continue to horrify and astound me, Esquire.
Crowbar: Hah! Did you think I was exaguerating about the gay cenobites?
Esquire: Worst "Where the Wild Things are" adaptation ever

Crowbar: ZALGO
Esquire: I KEEP TELLING YOU ABOUT THE GREY HYBRIDS CROWBAR!
Crowbar: This is your brain on GaGa
Esquire: I can't wait until Gaga is actually a drug. I would snort it and then I would have Kofka-esque dreams involving cacti and a lampshade.
Crowbar: Yeah, like you don't already
Esquire: Japanese game shows and expired olives are a dangerous mix

Crowbar: This shot manages to be extraordinary in this collection of drug hallucinations by being the most boring one.
Esquire: Are you kidding? You can totally see her upper thighs! Actually, if anything this is the most attractive Gaga ever gets in this video.

Esquire: The fanciest horse tranquilizers in the west!
Crowbar: The more I watch this video, the more I find myself wondering if this is Lady GaGa's daily routine. "Wake up, get administered high-octane drugs, dance with cenobites."
Esquire: Wash Mangina
Crowbar: Get video poked fun of by half-arse internet humoursmiths.
Esquire: This is a deep video, but if you look deep enough, it's a shallow Gaga wank, and if you look deeper, you see her fathers shocked face.
Crowbar: Lady Gaga attacked by rabid transvetites! News at 9.
Esquire: If you thought purgatory was boring, think again
Esquire: Why is she wearing a hessian sack?
Crowbar: I imagine she's got an onion on her belt.
Esquire: Like a cer-tee-fyed Bosnian!
Esquire: Certified Ballchinian Armor
Crowbar: The reason he's so stoic is that he's regretting the life that led to this point. "Oh no, I'm in a Lady GaGa video, what has my life come to?"
Esquire: The armor stops him from making a contorted grimace of terror.
Esquire: It's how much they are paying to get GaGa AWAY from them
Crowbar: Well, we're about the halfway mark now, and I'd like to take the moment to express my ire for both this song and whatever the fuck a Vevo is. Its only function seems to be making Youtube videos load at glacial pace.
Esquire: You is talkin' funny talk
Esquire: What kind of currency is that?
Pollers?
Penillers?
Mangollars?
Crowbar: Penises, the fun currency of GaGaLand.
Esquire: Are they actual penises, or simply a form of opression the bourgeois force upon the working man?
Crowbar: They can be both.
Esquire: I had a lizard that had crawled behind my wardrobe, and when we finally moved it after about a year, the lizard was perfectly preserved, it's skeleton was crushed to paper thin. This is what it looked like.
Crowbar: This is the part of the video where everyone throws up their hands and says, "You know what? Let's stop pretending this makes sense and let Lady GaGa direct it."
Esquire: Wait, so she wasn't before? So there are more of her kind?
Crowbar: Those were normal people on methamphetamines. You have to be hopped up on drugs to be Lady GaGa in her normal state.
Esquire: That would explain the hair that looks like something you might hang onto if your plane went down in the middle of the ocean.
Crowbar: This is the same outfit the duke of Crazy Town wears.
Esquire: They don't have a duke, they just have a donkey in sexy lingerie.
Crowbar: My dress is a bear, your argument is invalid
Esquire: The expression of anyone who gets dragged along to a Gaga concert because their friends think it's cool.
Crowbar: You know, most other music videos have some kind of story or theme running through them, normally linking to the song's. Nope, not Lady GaGa. Thank you, for showing us the error of our ways.
Esquire: She is as wise as she is batshit insane.
Crowbar: This shot makes me the happiest. It implies she might have died in a bed fire.
Esquire: Never missing a good time to vogue. But seriously, she shows you her tits and then you burst into flames? A crude metaphor for herpes if I ever saw one.
Crowbar: Do you think maybe this is biographical? Like, someone she was going to get her jollies off with burst into flames as she stood all dramatic-like in front?
Esquire: Since when has anything in a Gaga video ever reflected something remotely situated in reality?
Esquire: Sparky bra and the corpse sounds like a shitty sitcom or a fruity drink.
Crowbar:Or a shitty, fruity drink. Is this how this video does sexy? Fire-damaged? Lady GaGa as a chimney-sweep stripper?
Esquire: Can you imagine the writers table?
Guy 1: Okay, then the bra starts shooting out sparks, who's with me?
*No-one answers because it's just him and a blow up doll of Gaga at a broken pool table*


Esquire: Well fortunately for us, that's the end folks, don't forget to visit http://gaminggentleman.blogspot.com/
Crowbar: You better go there, the three or four people who are reading this.

Something about Hips don't lie








Hmm, Hips don't lie eh? Sounds pretty good, I might check it out.





Okay, a fairly standard start, furries running away from a guy with horns, nothing I havn't dealt with before. A little bit of an innapropriate comment from Wyclef Jean there. "We got the refugees up in here". As if being a refugee is a culture to be proud of or some bullshit. That's exactly like saying "WE GOTS DA PRISONERS OF WAR UP IN HEYAH". Then little john begins rapping as sluts in skimpy prisoner garbs start dancing behind him, moving their hips from side to side, side to si-Sorry, on with the post.



Okay, this isn't helping, plus this drool can't be good for my keyboard. So it's the standard fare of Shakira being a whore and then we have that usual "runnning through a room ful of fabric that someone put up". Except this one is far more terrifying.
(Do you want some candy little bonita?)

Let's all get over the fact that Wyclef Jean looks like the bastard son of that one guy from black eyed peas and a tapir and get on with the post. So we go through a few more seconds of that scene and then we see the most horrifying sight known to man.

No, not Wyclef. Check out the back.
(There's a what behind me?)

The fuck is that!? Is that what Shakiras hips do to you? Turn you into a creepy mummy? Or did some poor cast member just say to the producer "Hey frank, look, I know your going for sexy here, but I just got this burn victim kid for half price down at the orphanage, and you know how I can't pass up a good deal, so can he be in the video? I know you already have Wyclef for the creepy aspect, but what if you want to really disconcert the audience?"

Then the fat producer gets up off his chair smoking a big cuban cigar and says "John, your a genius, get this man a big juicy paycheck!"

And the rest as they say, is history. Creepy as fuck history.

Finally, no more-
(Bastard child of a storm trooper and that girl from the ring)

"Again, John?"
"2 for 1 sale Frank, I'm not made of stone!"

(I didn't know they made Burqa's in Harley Quinn Colours)

So the rest of the clip is boring as fuck. Wyclef is possessed by Betty Boop at one point and says "Hoob boop pa woop" at one point and then says something about a musical transaction.

Shakira: Good
Wyclef and Creepy Kids: Bad

Result: Unpalatable.



Blogspot complimented me already


What? This thing? Oh I just threw it on.
