They are highly-suspicious of all newcomers and hostile to almost everyone, including themselves. The only thing they don't take seriously is Discordianism.

Lyrics were funny, but the performance itself was too lackluster for the humor to have any impact.

I prefer it like that, than if he tried to rap and failed. It's better being able to understand the lyrics than not.

I guess. But in my opinion, boring presentation, and therefore boring overall. You could still present it with more oomph and still be intelligible.
Well, I was always of the opinion that novelty, or comedy recordings had to actually be at least a little bit funny. Which is where this one falls flat on it's (rather ugly) face. That leaves it nothing to stand up on but it musical merit. I think, considering the "Oomph" of the instrumental content, he did well to stay awake for the length of the piece.

To see how vulgar smutty lyrics, Simple electronic beats and bass, and a humourous video really can all mesh nicely, Peaches has just about got it right here.

The deadpan delivery and overall demeanour helped emphasise the retardedness of that whole - bitches, ho's and AK's - genre, IMO. I prefer the sequel tho - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC03hmS1Brk Remember kids - Gangsters don't kill people. Lameass rappers do :lulz:

Yeah, I get the joke, but I just can't get into it.

Uh, vulgar does not necessarilly = humour.

Anyway I found it funny, and Jon's deadpan rapping is part of his style.
It's not trolling, it's just satire.

That second track definitely had more going for it, in a "Goldy Lookin' Chain" kind of way than the first one. (Which I just found to be utterly without merit) The second one  certainly came a lot closer to making me laugh, maybe there's just something a bit too British about my sense of humour to really "get" him.
But then, I think Sarah Palin is hilarious, and worth her bodywieght in comedic gold, so my sense of humour may be a little "off" to start with.

No, I think Sarah Palin is hilarious too. What's not hilarious is that a lot of other Americans take her seriously.

Yeah the second track was better, but still not something that I could get into/laugh at/derive mild amusement from.

Don't worry Twid, we'll find you something hilarious to laugh at before the hour is out. (Or my name is not Emily Pankhurst)

TBH the funniest evar pisstake of gasgsta-rap was the unintentionally hilarious tribute to Biggie when all the hardcore ballers changed their tune and started whining about how getting shot wasn't as fucking awesome as they'd all thought it was. You'd have to go a fucking long way to top that one :lulz:
