View Full Version : Knocking on 2 Million
A few months ago I did a parody for my friends over at Gamercast Network called "How to Kill Your Brand". A couple of people made YouTube videos of that song that got a lot of attention. Today it's sitting at 1.6 million views and climbing. I think when it hits 2 million I'll open this mini bottle of tequila that my friend brought back from Mexico for me. Maybe do a line of Oreos. Here's to 2 million views. Unreal.
Congrats on the milestone... you deserve it, that song was great!
Lawrence 06-20-2007, 04:19 PM The entire song is fact too ;D
I can use these arguments to taunt at my PS-fanboy friend
beware the "I have a cell processor" rebuttal
Rowlander 06-29-2007, 06:29 AM Any chance to get the song as an mp3?
Please add that as an option to the blogpost! Canīt be that much work since you must have the audiofile lying around somewhere. :)
Thanks!

vickers500 07-17-2007, 11:54 AM This one isnt that funny. Most of it isnt true, and if you have seen the recent actual gameplay trailer from killzone 2 and dont want that game, then theres something wrong with you. A single level in that game takes up 2gb of space, so the blu-ray point is no longer valid anymore. I'm not a fanboy or anything but most of the song isnt true. Xbox 360 and PS3 rule!

This song was made last november. Almost a year ago.
superaktieboy 07-17-2007, 01:15 PM i like the song, i find it funny tho some of the things aren't true anymore... anyways you should make such a thing for 360, coz i think you're even worse than a fanboy

Lumpydonut 07-17-2007, 03:29 PM a lot of people seem to take Doc as a 360 boy, which is funny, has there is TWO microsoft songs, as well as TWO sony ones. If anything, he is a Nintendo kid

The Red Ring songs went soft on Microsoft... it was supposed to be critical of them yet praised Xbox Live, praised the game selection, pointed out repair shipping is free, etc.
Very little mocking or sarcasm (but it was countered by an admirable JC impersonation).
I'd like to hear a Microsoft parody with fangs... Peter Moore's jumping ship now, maybe that'll spur some creative juices...

Well, Doc isn't going to lie in his songs just so some PS3 fanboys will be happy. Xbox live is what most people desire. They also beat the Wii and Ps3 in highest rated exclusives, and most exclusives.

Hmmm... I smell something... smells like a fanboy. There's PLENTY to poke fun of on the 360 without resorting to lies... if you think there's not, then the smell's coming from your direction. All the camps have problems.
I wrote two 360 parodies myself but am nothing close to a singer... and they have no lies in them.

There really isn't a reason to make fun of something just because you think it's funny.

But there is when I think it's funny, my little fanboy friend.

Please let us know how many people need to find it funny before we can make fun of it. Maybe we could form a committee or call TBS.
Sarcastic Gamer. "Yeah that's Funny!"
tbh, sarcasm doesn't always need to be funny :P
contraghost 07-18-2007, 11:17 PM first off i feel like an asshole for not being sarcastic in my comments, but whatever, assholes rule the world. second as a self proclaimed SONY FANBOY i can still admit that those songs were really funny when they were released who gives a shit if they are not true anymore, appreciate wity humor and move on to the next youtube video. :roll:
CaptainDDL 07-19-2007, 01:23 AM You can curse. Congrats.
-buncha crap-
So whose alias are you? :roll:
Altered_Weapon 07-19-2007, 01:42 AM -buncha crap-

That's what I was thinking too. If it's only the first post why *-out the curse words. That's mother******* awesome!
CaptainDDL 07-19-2007, 01:57 AM IP check says he's the only person to post from that computer. Probably some bitter fanboy that found SG via Youtube.
Note: the edits were made to test a new forum feature. Please ignore. :)
jeff1010322 07-19-2007, 10:01 PM I watched the video about 30 times until the "no freakin games" video appeared on youtube, which advertised the sarcasticgamer website. That is how I ended up here, this is a great website you have going.
Phoenixdive 07-25-2007, 04:44 PM Look ma! I'm on the internets!
I think that's what he meant.
I carefully translated it for you so your neurones wouldn't be exposed to such a sheer level of stupidity.
regua 09-09-2007, 06:59 AM I guess the topic's name should be changed to "Knocking on 3 million". The video's got 2,245,628 views as of 9th September, 2007.
keith22 09-09-2007, 10:19 AM --------------------------Video rocks----------------------------
congrats man its a hell of a song
:)
thanks. What sucks is that it was the first one, so its been all down hill from there.
lol

It's over 2 million views, Doc That means you have to do one of the above. I vote for you doing the line of Oreos and you have to record it because it would probably be the most hilariously painful thing ever. Probably funny enough to get more views than the How to Kill Your Brand video.
But seriously, congrats on all the views. You're a creative genius, Doc. If it weren't for that song and the Big Ass Table parody, I probably wouldn't have found this site. Just think how bored rothbart would be if he didn't have me to argue with all the time, and how depressed Lono would be because he wouldn't have somebody that agrees with him most of the time.
Thanks pal.
!!!mmmmm Line of Oreos.....Guuuuhd!
Chexd 09-18-2007, 05:06 PM I first saw it on Game Trailers a while back and no joke i must have watched it 50+. I LOVED it and thought the song used was a clever choice ( I loved the orginal too you see)!
....fast forward several months and i find this great site and community with a funny MS Surface Paordy Video. I join and love it.
I then find out later that my new fave podcast is responsible for that great song i liked! A spooky but fun coincidence!
anyways yes, enough of my autobiography due to publish in 2026. Good job Guys, Much deserved!
More like knocking on 3 million. 2.8 million and counting as i speak ^____^
Bacontastic 12-29-2007, 05:25 PM Congrats on the milestone! It's my favorite parody thus far!
Dmatix 12-29-2007, 06:29 PM My brother still sings it all the time,which would have been fine, if he wasnt so lousy at it...
the song is great,and also how I first heard about the site(saw it on an israely gaming site no less,toghter with the Wii song... i think they like you there).
fyremakyer 12-30-2007, 06:37 AM Who cares if it ain't true its a laugh
iPlayPC 12-30-2007, 11:06 AM Its deserved 2 million... and 3 million... and beyond
photomaster94 12-30-2007, 09:15 PM totally it was a great song
Nibos 01-06-2008, 06:50 AM The video on Youtube helped me find this website.
iPlayPC 01-06-2008, 11:09 AM The video on Youtube helped me find this website.
Same.
Artemas 01-07-2008, 12:41 AM Nice. How do you guys thing of this stuff?
ProNinjaX 01-07-2008, 01:13 AM That was probably the best song you have ever produced. Congratulations.
Now, as a guy who looks to the future, I have to ask, are you planning on doing a new song that would outdo the How to Kill Your Brand song? There's plenty of games and topics there for you to pick off, so WTF are you waiting for?
PS: If you need help with the lyrics (not that I think you would), I am a songwriter myself.:)
Raven 02-21-2008, 07:54 PM Thats amazing. Congratulations Doc, I can't wait to hear the next parody song you release.
mallavu399 02-21-2008, 08:00 PM tht song is freakin hilarious and every single thing about it is true
Ryobin 02-25-2008, 03:43 PM hehe i still have my daily dose of sarcasm with your guys parodies despite my exploded i-pod , and How you killed your brand is always at the top-o-the-list.
forgottenfrodo 02-26-2008, 11:25 AM i agree I'm new to the forums but this song is great I'm glad i don't have to rhyme that much it must be really hard great job doc
ecribit 02-26-2008, 11:35 AM that song kicks ass!
n00bhunter 03-11-2008, 03:08 AM hhehehe good job some fanboys were having a go @ ya vid so i pwned em 4 ya xD
Makelevi 03-11-2008, 04:41 PM Ahahaha, I didn't know that song came SG. I heard that way back when I worked at my local Cyber Cafe when my boss showed it to me! Fantastic! xD
codinthepocket 03-24-2008, 09:18 AM This one isnt that funny. Most of it isnt true, and if you have seen the recent actual gameplay trailer from killzone 2 and dont want that game, then theres something wrong with you.
Blasphemy!!! Read Lawrence's post. Based on facts? Probably... Not only was this song catchy, it was very funny. That is why it has had so many views...it deserves the credit it has received... Although now that Lono has a PS3 , and Dave may get one, this song loses some of its edge... still very good though.
Bauer22 03-24-2008, 04:01 PM Ah, The video that started it all. Heres where we're at on YouTube.

Sorry for the quality, Skitch (The Editing Program I used) is still in beta so give it a break.
codinthepocket 03-24-2008, 09:05 PM Eww. Mac image on my PC. Eww. Use a PC for images. Eugh... :lol:
Mac's aren't built for watching videos and browsing on youtube. They're built to put videos on youtube. Simple. (their inbuilt webcams are amazing I have to admit...Everything else. No. They are not built for gaming. It's shocking. Why buy a PC if you don't want to play games on it, especially an expensive one too. (Btw, slight sarcasm here.. LOL. ))
paulmess7 03-25-2008, 09:05 PM That was very good, hope to see more parodies in the near future! Im a new member, but I have seen all of your videos, and have been subscribed to your RSS feed for podcasts and news...
Gameovercastdotcom 05-14-2008, 09:37 AM yeah i have the song on my ipod!
Waisybabu 05-14-2008, 12:07 PM Good good.
Keep the parodies coming.
daCooksta 05-14-2008, 06:30 PM dudes...
this thread started almost a year ago...
lol
MosEisley 05-14-2008, 08:34 PM Congrats, Good stuff man.
Masselli18 05-14-2008, 08:53 PM Thats how i found SG.....memories
Hungry Luma 08-18-2008, 03:56 PM Wow,, this song totally deserves its attention. It is so graet.
