JonTron Megathread: The Most Retarded Thread on Facepunch - General

[QUOTE=LegndNikko;45626449]Give me a source and I'll get right on that. I'm just saying that because last I remember, the 2nd bird he got is Spaghetti.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;05ucgOiKBqY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05ucgOiKBqY[/video] He mentions it at 4:02. Now he has a bird named Cinnamon instead.

[QUOTE=Zakkin;45629701]Ey look, there's this thing called 'semantic broadening'. Did you know that to 'decimate' means to remove something by 10%? The 'dec' part shows that. It's a thing romans did to their armies when they lost, they'd kill every tenth soldier and so 'decimated' their own army as punishment. But nowadays it just means to destroy. Retarded's meaning has changed through time, too. I mean, it's still got those bad connotations, but its meaning has broadened. It used to refer to people with disabilities but nowadays it's just a synonym of 'dumb' (which also used to mean mentally disabled, whoa.) I mean sure, as I said it's got bad connotations, but the word's meaning has changed over time.[/QUOTE] gonna get dumbed for this but idgaf: that's utter bullshit. this argument is always utter bullshit. 90% of the people who say something is retarded are the same people who used to go "dee dee dee" and thought it was the most hilarious shit ever. don't even pretend they're not. especially not the general public. you guys can say retarded, I won't stop you. people say bad shit all the time. but at least call a spade a fucking spade. i've got a foul mouth to rock the ages, and I own it. I use horrendous words, but I acknowledge that those words are offensive to some. mainly soccer moms who think that hearing the word fuck or shit or whatever will cause their children to go into a downward spiral. and maybe it will! but here's the thing: i recognize that my mouth is problematic. i don't plug my ears and go "lalalalal" and try to deflect it off, because i have this thing called empathy, and I understand that certain people don't want to hear specific words. i'm not going to change my vocabulary for them, but the very least I can do is apologize for doing something that causes them offense. because i'm a human being

Tbh it's better to not give a shit

this retarded argument is never gonna stop is it

[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;45629289]We could add Foodfight to the OP maybe? It pretty much became an instant classic. [video=youtube;BGql8sKjJwA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGql8sKjJwA[/video] Bonus Conker outrage. [video=youtube;1t_Co0gfj18]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t_Co0gfj18[/video][/QUOTE] I'm hessitant on the second one. It's less of an actual video and more of a quick little chuckle Jon slapped up on YouTube. I'll let the ratings decide. [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/information.png[/IMG] for "It's still a funny video! Slap it into the OP!" [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/wrench.png[/IMG] for "Eh, not really a good choice. I say don't include it/include this one, instead." And obviously any suggestions.

I think it was a pretty shitty thing to say, but it's nothing I'll forever hold him against and it's nothing that will forever cast him in a negative light. I'm definitely not gonna stop supporting him and demonize him over it, but it really should've been handled better.

There's loads of funny blokes out there that say shit like this, like Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle, Louie C.K., Ricky Gervais, I mean come on. Jon's a funny human being.[/QUOTE] I read something recently about how words evolve when they start being used offensively, like if someone is mentally disabled people used to call them simple, or imbeciles, but then that was used as an offensive word, so the new "official" and medically correct word was retarded, then that was used as an offensive word, so now people say mentally disabled, or say they have a learning disability.

Okay, everyone shut the fuck up about this "Retard" shit. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Needs to relax" - rilez))[/highlight]

Okay, I gave you guys a day to let the discussion fizz out and have both sides come to terms. Nothing happened, so I'm ending the discussion now. Anyone who talks about Jon's Twitter drama after this post is getting banned. I realize that kinda sucks for the people trying to have an actual discussion, so sorry. Next time something like this happens, please refrain from telling people to "shut the fuck up" about it. If it's on-topic, and not breaking site rules, it's allowed. Thanks.

Well, this thread tanked quick. Any news on the new video on the 10th? Or was it the 20th?

"AVGN screening in New York! Aweeeesome!" [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Buj4EUKCUAAJJ-2.jpg[/IMG]

So um. Not to start another thing. Or anything. But I've been out of the loop for Game Grumps right around Jon left, not because of a deliberate decision on my end, but it just kinda coincided with me ceasing to watch Game Grumps for no particular reason. Is the reason why Jon is never mentioned since his departure simply because he asked Arin not to mention him by name at all? I heard this wasn't done because they drifted apart; they're still great friends. I tried Googling the shit out of this stuff and got nothin'. Dunno if this belongs in game grumps thread or this one, sorry ._.

Look no one knows why they did the things they did and still doing. So lets not start the Jon leaving thing. What are your guys favorite JonTron?

[QUOTE=Dr. Doughnut;45637081]what if JonTron leaves the JonTron Show?[/QUOTE] spaghetti will take over the show it'll be known as Show and will become an immense hit all across the animal kingdom

Hey I just made a thing as a kinda thank-you to JonTron. [video=youtube;j023EroDYIk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j023EroDYIk[/video]

I feel it's better he kept to his own show because he does better there. He's REALLY good at it, better than AVGN even, but produces far less content than AVGN.

Oh god, I watched the goosebumps episode for the first time, and the part where Jon screams at the ghost girl in part 2 nearly killed me.

As someone who bought Diablo 3 on release and experienced the servers shenanigans, I found this video from Jon extremely fitting at the time: [video=youtube;TH8TwNqIOfs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH8TwNqIOfs[/video]

[QUOTE=mark6789;45636467]What are your guys favorite JonTron?[/QUOTE] This one for sure [video=youtube;-zJD9B0za9k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zJD9B0za9k[/video]

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-L_NCWNOLc[/media] Does this song from Gabriel Knight 1 remind anyone else of the JonTron theme? I can't unhear it. It sounds eerily similar.
