WHOOP FORGOT TO DO THIS IN THE LAST POST:

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick three of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

And uhhhh, be sure to mention if you wanna do the meme in your comment, since otherwise I'm just gonna assume that you're commenting on the entry instead. :B

Anyway,

peachifruit chose:

1.) It's Wakka from Final Fantasy X, showing INTENSE SHOCK in response to Yuna saying she wants Tidus to join the party. I remember bursting out laughing when I first saw it in the game, but had completely forgotten about it until I saw it again on Video Game Recaps, WHICH IS A HILARIOUS SITE BY THE WAY. So credit to them for the screenshot |B Also, the particular episode with that screenshot is here, for those curious.

2.) It's Colonel Mustard from the old Clue SNES game! I just downloaded it one night out of boredom and started playing it, but it... wound up being intensely boring and annoying, so I eventually just started screwing around. During this, I found out that if you wrongly accuse someone of murder and lose the game, then it'll show this hilarious, two-frame animation of your character standing normally and then suddenly getting this shocked expression on their face. I WOUND UP LOSING WITH EVERY CHARACTER JUST SO I COULD SEE THEIR ANIMATION, but none of them were as hilarious as Colonel Mustard.
Fun Fact: I was originally going to make this an animated icon with his shocked face, but then decided against it. I still have the second frame, though.

3.) This is Octave from Interstella 5555, specifically the One More Time part 8D You can see this shot at about 3:30 or so.
Anyway,

wishwashing took some screenshots of that video and put them in her LJ, though she deleted that entry a while ago. ANYWAY but I took the opprotunity to make some icons, and once I came across that shot... I don't even know. INSPIRATION STRUCK AND I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN IT. SUDDENLY, I HAD TO MAKE A PACMAN ICON!
... and I guess that's it. |D I can't even watch that part in the video anymore without thinking of him eating fruit

SO ANYWAY, ARE YOU GUYS UP FOR SOME MARIO IS MISSING!? I DECIDED I SHOULD PROBABLY STOP SCREWIN' AROUND AND FINISH THIS EPISODE, SINCE ONCE I GET BRAWL THEN I'M GOING TO DISAPPEAR FOREVER (THEN AGAIN WE PRE-ORDERED IT, SO GOD KNOWS WHEN IT'S GOING TO GET HERE. TORTURE). WELL, THAT, AND THE FACT THAT THE LAST UPDATE WAS LIKE A MONTH AGO. I FIGURED IT WAS PROBABLY HIGH TIME FOR ANOTHER.

IN THE LAST EPISODE, WE SET ROY ON FIRE. IN THIS EPISODE, WE'RE GONNA SET SOMEONE ELSE ON FIRE. I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE AS EXCITED AS I AM!

Previous Episodes

Let's DOOOO THIIIISSS

COME ON WEEGEE JUST GIVE HER THE KISS

TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM

Weegee moves forward with a seductive swagger

Wendy constantly blows kisses at you while little... hearts? Lips? Hearts. While little hearts blink around her. god i'm tired

Looks like a happenin' place!

I'LL BE CAREFUL JUST FOR YOU, BABY

Also, lol, "most asked-for artifacts." Watch as these turn out to be like... friggin'... Hitler's used tissues that're worth $1200 a piece or something equally stupid. I STILL CAN'T GET OVER THE ART CATALOGUE

THIS NEWSPAPER IS A LITTLE SLOW ON THE UPTAKE, I SEE

Anyway.

???????????????????????????????????????????????

ANYWAY.

... y'know, I find it a little funny in a dark sort of way that there was so much fuss over making the palace all big and perfect and then Sophia and Frederick both up and died before its completion. :B WHICH IS HORRIBLE OF ME, I KNOW, BUT

I have no idea why this says "Brandenburg Gate Horseshoe" since that's not what I'm returning at all. Okay, Mario is Missing, whatever

And I like how that doesn't have a question mark.

And that seems like a kind of crappy reward for a crown, of all things. THEN AGAIN WHAT DO I KNOW

y'know this actually isn't a badWHERE IS THE STATUE IN THE FRONT

GOD WHAT AM I EVEN PAYING YOU PEOPLE FOR

HERE'S the horseshoe.

And it barely costs less than a crown.

I like the Berlin Wall in the background. That's actually a pretty neat detail :D

Woooooo! Viva la revolution!

... why would they want that back, anyway?

YOU DARN KIDS WRITING "HI" ALL OVER MY WALL

Man, where have I heard "Under the Linden Trees" before? I could swear that was the name for like... a song or a movie or a book or something. Unless I'm thinking of something else.

PUT THE LIME IN THE COCONUT no no don't start

Those had better be the most COMFORTABLE BENCHES I HAVE EVER SAT IN or else i am so writing an angry letter

Most accurate cars ever. Not that I have a lot of room to talk when it comes to drawing cars, but

GOD FINALLY, UGH

NOT IF I BURN YOU ALL YOU WONT, HA HA HA

I completely forgot to do this before, but if you click on the Koopalings then they'll say something to you. It's just one thing and it's never that important or anything, but it's still another opprotunity for potential hilarity. WHY, JUST THIS ALONE MAKES ME LAUGH! OH WEEGEE, YOU LADYKILLER

I need to remember to go back and see what Larry and Roy say, though. SOMEONE REMIND ME

... what is wrong with this guy.
I HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR YOU, MY BOY
READ THE NEWSPAPER AND WEEP
YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT

ALSO GOTTA LOVE THOSE MAD RHYMEZ HUH GUYS

I think the "see page 3 for sketches" thing is just referring to how you can look at this one page of the newspaper where it shows pictures of the Koopas stealing stuff and lists what they stole and the rewards and so on. Which I also forgot to show you guys. DUHHHH

LOL I SAW THAT

LOOK, IT'S THE SECOND LARGEST COUNTRY IN SOUTH AMERICA, OKAY? UGH JUST GET OFF MY BACK

Definitely a hotel I would stay at

DANANANAAA

Hooray, we're making a difference!

EXTREMELY FAST HORSES why did i just imagine racecar noises

BUT I'M SURE PLASTIC AND STYROFOAM WOULD MAKE PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE CATTLE-TRIPPING TOOLS

GET IT

A strap of leather with stones on each end is of higher worth than a crown with jewels all over it NO I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT THIS

I dunno why, but I like imagining that guy being real instead of just a plastic mold. JUST COMES IN, SITS ON A HORSE, MAKES EIGHT BUCKS AN HOUR, GOES OUT

THE NAME'S BENDER |D

and boy if i wasn't terrible with heights i would be all over that i tell you what

Haha, I love how uninterested that guy looks when you catch him blinking. I just imagine him speaking in the most droll voice possible.

And suddenly, his interest is piqued!

George Washington: the default answer to every question.

AND A STONE IS MORE VALUABLE THAN no i better not start

~~and i'm sure there's at least one person out there who giggled over the word "colon"~~

The lady in the thumbnail has no arms. ... or a body.

BUT THAT WOULD BE AWESOME, JUST HAVE 600 PEOPLE TANGOING ONSTAGE

You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who makes people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.

MY BEST SCREENSHOT YET

dumdedum

HOW TO HAVE AN IRISH (apparently) ACCENT: SAY "SEE" AFTER EVERY SENTENCE

hairdryers everywhere
i cannot speak of it

Wow, great screenshot, self. BUT MAN, TWO KOOPAS, I LOVE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS

... WHERE'S THE OTHER BAG

Okay FINE I'll just beat you up AGAIN

I skimmed through the pamphlet and took a screenshot, and then afterwards I got so involved with poking around in the map that I completely forgot about it and wandered off.

... and even went to a different info booth, to boot. I am hopeless.

Hahaha, man, I can't think of shamrocks anymore without thinking of that one Dr. McNinja comic. SHAMROCKS KEEP CUTTING INTO MY FACE!

SO IS IT BAD THAT WHEN I READ "POISON IVY" I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF THE BATMAN CHARACTER AND TOOK SEVERAL MOMENTS TO REMEMBER THE ACTUAL PLANT?

Meenan's?

That looks about as cheerful as the Shinra Mansion. That was a strangely accurate reference, wow

My dad and I had a conversation about Guinness not that long ago! trufax

A beer label.

A beer label.

I think we have found the new champion of the "Most Pointless 'Historical Artifact' Ever" award.

"Shamrocks" made me laugh so hard, I don't know

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY FOR A PICNIC

AND A KEG

I guess being a playwright was the WRIGHT CHOICE HAW wait that made no sense

Hahaha, they just stole the beard. That's kind of considerate. "No, no, just the beard! The beard's all we need!"

"SORRY, HONEY"

That statue looks like it's made of jelly. Also GREAT EFFECTS ON THE BACKGROUND, HUH

JESUS CHRIST look at all that money MY GOD. At this rate, the Mario Bros. will no longer have to work.

I'm gonna buy lotsa spaghetti

WELL WE'RE DEFINITELY NOT IN ASIA

"Hey, this old shoe might get us a couple of bucks."

I genuinely laughed at this. I THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF CLEVER, OKAY? Though I can't help but wonder who in their right mind would start an 'M' Club

Can do!

It'd be funny if they drew it with a martini glass in its hand

What the heck is going on with that thumbnail dfkjghadfk. HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE MISTAKE PALE BLUE FOR BRIGHT PURPLE

Tank, hot tub, same thing

CHILLIN'. This is sort of funny if you imagine that the lines in the background are those flashing, Rising Sun-esque lines you see everywhere, rather than carpet or something. To me, at least.

Hahahahaha

Though I gotta say, if I were a god and I wound up being the god of "teeth and toothaches," I would feel so ripped off.

AN EVIL SPIRIT IS LOOSE OH GOD

Man, I'd like to see someone with a hangnail that's large and strong enough to impale a tree. NEW SUPERHERO: HANGNAIL MAN! Danananananana god it's late

I like how all the nails are sort of crowded on one side of the tree. Like the other nails are part of some sort of special club, and all the lesser nails have to stay on the sidelines and scrounge around for change while the special nails are all sippin' wine and eating lobsters. OR NO OR MAYBE LIKE like the fewer nails are the humans and the rest are the zombies, and the humannails are running around and shooting machine guns and throwing grenades and chopping up the zombies with a helicopter what am i talking about jesus

AND JUST WHILE I'M HERE |D

RING RING RING RING RING RING RING
~~BANANAPHONE~~

HUMAN UMBRELLA just get a really tall guy and have him lean over

I actually kind of like this picture. IT'S GOT CHARACTER

GETTING EVER CLOSER

And yet, despite the hotline, the townsfolk still prefer to show me their improv poetry skills rather than stop anyone or anything. BAH.

asfd this map. I predict much taxi-using.

...

WELP, at least now we know where we are. there are only two cities in all of australia, trufax

ALCATRAZ?

Haha, wow, that's actually kind of severe. DON'T GO ON THE BRIDGE, GUYS

That sounds like the name of a really terrible restaurant.

THAT BARELY EVEN RHYMES

I SAID I WANTED RED CURTAINS! RED!
UGH GOD I CAN'T WORK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS

You know, I've never had a Danish. They look sort of predictable, though. Like you take one look at 'em and you're like, "Man, I totally know how that's going to taste," and you decide to go buy something more exciting. It's four in the morning

Honey bunches of DEATH

ausdifhasdf for some reason when i read the part about ferry boats i just imagined the zoo getting shipments of koalas

The koala casts you a sultry glance as it takes a slow, teasing bite from its celery stick

or whatever that's supposed to be

THAT KID IS AMAZING

I COME FROM A LAND DOWN UNDER
WHERE BEER DOES FLOW AND MEN CHUNDER

I can't stop laughing at "Manly Beach"

I've got a Ph.D in SURFING

THOUGH FROM THE SOUND OF IT, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY

JESUS CHRIST THAT'S ON THE SHORE GOD THAT GUY MUST HAVE A BROKEN NECK FROM THAT

I LIKE HOW THEY SHOW THIS AFTER SAYING HOW MUCH BETTER BONDI BEACH IS THAN MANLY BEACH, BY THE WAY

Man, it's gonna take Luigi like twenty minutes to go through all the names on the "People Who Said Hi" list

what

Weegee has loved many, broken a few hearts, he knows how it goes

WELL AT LEAST HER ASHES HAVE A GENDER-DEFINING BOW ON THEM

AND WITH THAT VIOLENT MURDER OUT OF THE WAY, I'M AFRAID IT IS TIME I BID FAREWELL FOR THE NIGHT. WHAT WILL THE NEXT EPISODE HOLD? YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE!!!!!!

I WAS GOING TO DO TWO PARTS BUT I REALLY DON'T HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN FOR IT TONIGHT
SO
ENJOY
