Downworlders is probably the funniest.

Downworlders are the best. I loved the article where they listed all their threats, and most of them were alligators.

You know, I was thinking about the new AV, and it occurs to me that Wario is pretty monstrous even without the vampire getup. I mean, here he's seen just chilling with some dudes...

I figure the most frightening monster is dog who turns on her owner, so hopefully not that.

I've talked about it elsewhere, but I'm a flesh golem along the lines of Frankenstein's monster. Covered in scars, and filled with dead body parts. Electricity wasn't used in my creation, and I'm more alive than dead, but being made of 4 people, several who had to die for me to live is close enough as I see it.

Sasquatch has shown up a few times. Always as a crude, sexist jerk that can't type because his fingers are too big. The joke is that his icon is Bigfoot, which is great.

Fuckin' Sasquatch is the best character, just the horrible typing and completely inappropriate commentary makes him great. The line about finding the invisible man's dick in the last update was hilarious.

I don't know, would he really be the same dogballz we all know and love if he didn't have to find excuses for his shortcomings on a regular basis?

There are stock characters in Yiddish folklore and joketelling known as the schlemiel and the schlemazel. As the saying goes, "the schlemiel is the one who drops his soup on the way to the table, and the schlemazel is the one the soup lands on."

Ted, of course, is the schlemiel. His intentions are always good, but any attempt he makes to improve a situation inevitably ends in making things worse. And who suffers the brunt of Ted's incompetence? None other than Howard, the schlemazel.

In this case, though, Howard is such a self-centered jerk that he has karmically earned his status as schlemazel, so we're able to laugh at him more than pity him. In fact, Howard literally created his own tormenter by biting Ted to begin with.

This dynamic is a trope that has existed since the dawn of comedy, and it's put to perfect use here. May it live forever.

I believe Laverne and Shirley were singing a period hopscotch rhyme, since their show took place in the late 50's. Like the vaudeville jargon, the rhyme is Yiddish in origin.

Also see: what the hell is this ridiculous babbling that Popeye flies into sometimes?

Just to put on the :tinfoil: for a moment, I'm going to point out an observation. I was looking back over past entries and noticed back last year, in the dating thread everyone's favorite MRA Elevator Ghost, Phantom Menace, declared his intentions to one day haunt the server in revenge after JWhore humiliated him publicly. After that, he suddenly seemed to have a vendetta against the feminist monsters on the board, and is apparently one of the chief opponents in #Kellergate. Also, he's been outed as being able to hack as well. I think it's very possible that he's aligned with the Colts and Scotty Gervis...

I miss the monster that used womyn with zero irony because it helped articulate the stupidity of internet SJW/MRA debates or crusades

I wonder what is going on with LuvsTaKill's tagline (which I assume means "Scotty Gervis for President") spreading to other monsters (UndeadTed and Dogballz69). They seem to be themselves, meaning he has not killed them and posted on their accounts that way, but they don't seem the type to be supportive or ironical about adopting it. I suspect hacking.

In fact, LuvsTaKill may have hacked Deathgirl's information and doxxed her to frame Phantom Menace or others, but knowing what we know about the #KellerGate community/"movement," I doubt that false-flag theory is correct.

I just read that as the werewolves patronizing Gervis. We used to do that type of poo poo on the forums I used to admin. Somebody shows up to talk poo poo about something or another, and the sarcastic assholes all join his fan club.
Idk about Ted, maybe Ted was just kissing Gervis' rear end because he saw it as a solution to the wife problem. But Howard seems exactly the type to me. He was clearly messing with him with the Batman derail, and Howard doesn't sweat a showdown, or at least doesn't let on that he does- he straight up murdered Masked Slasher, and called him out both before and after Slasher turned undead, for not showing up to kill him. Howard was standing back and laughing about Leopold, too.

I don't know, I get the impression that Howard is all bark and no bite.

There's not necessarily a reason why deathgirl's death had to be related to any hacking, I mean she had already revealed her weakness to Scotty and her address was revealed when phantom menace was creeping on her.

Woohoo! I can't believe I won the Monstergeddon cup by just killing people's time! :haw:

If it's okay to ask continuity questions, when did Scotty Gervais come back from the dead? I thought I read through everything, but I can't remember.

Sometime after last year's Monstergeddon. FaceOfFear complained about not getting acknowledgement for killing his nemesis, and then some time after that the Colts started hanging out win a new member who's actually good at killing monsters, but we didn't find out it was Gervis until the last update .So, whenever the Colts got their new member, I assume.

edit: First mention is in the Free Howard update.
