MUSIC MON! SHIA LEBEOUF IS THE VILLAIN IN OUR INTERNET GOD PANTHEON!

JUST DO IT!!! ft. SHIA LABEOUF (SONGIFY THIS)

Okay. Hear me out here.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Morgan Freeman. Nic Cage. These are just a few members of the internet meme pantheon. Nic Cage is, clearly, the head of the pantheon-- the one true based god, the king, the Zeus. And if Nic Cage is our Zeus...

...Shia LaBeouf is some weird new internet meme god. Maybe I'm calling this a bit early but, with just a simple green screen, he managed to use his dark powers to capture the attention and imagination of an internet that, in many ways, is maligned against his recent career, appearance, and activities. Is he the meme god of the meme underworld?

Only time will tell.

SONGIFY THE NEWS #8 OF MURDER & CATFISH!

How can you possibly make Schmoyoho better? How about by combining their power with the god-like vocal and comedic powers of Jontron! In the latest Songify the News, we get a look at the various Republican candidates joining the fray for the nomination to run in the 2016 presidential election (with some cameos from past runners) and tie it all together with catfish.

Catfish.

TITENIC: JONSONG FT. SCHMOYOHO!

Last, but not least, something video game related in our musical triad, given this is E3 week (the holiest of week's on the Gamer Calendar-- like a combination of opening presents on Christmas and attending a Superbowl commercial presentation), with a remix of Jontron's Titenic episode featuring Schmoyoho.

Well done, lads. Well done.

WORD OF THE DAY! 8/7/14!

JON TRON- TITENIC?

hamartia [hah-mahr-tee-uh]

noun

1. The tragic flaw that inevitably leads to the downfall of a person or enterprise.

EX. The hamartia of the RMS Titanic, in a cosmic sense, was to declare the ship "unsinkable". In Greek tragedy, such hubris tempts the gods to intervene in order to teach the mortals a lesson in humility. And yet, in a tragedy of such titanic proportion, the causes of the outcome are not as simple as the tempestuous whims of some envious deity; the ship wasn't constructed well enough, the crew did not see the iceberg until it was too late, the passengers were packed away improperly and there were too many souls on boards and too few lifeboats, and so on and so forth, until all of the variables added up to a formula for disaster. It is unlikely that we will ever know why such a foul fate befell the ship on its maiden voyage, but we can learn from the mistakes identified.

And then there are the various craptastic unofficial software made to ride the coat tails of James Cameron's mega-successful Titanic film; their tragedy is that somebody thought they could make a fun game based on a romantic disaster film based on a real-life tragedy. I dunno if the gods came together to punish those game designers, but it is a comforting thought to imagine their wrath coming down upon their heads.
