Tyrone and Rog - Chinese Cartoon Spokesmen Extraordinaire - AKA "At least 3x as pure as any of your - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gdsdqu5XWI[/media] So, over the last month or so, a bunch of videos have been going around about these two. The videos are uploaded on a bunch of different accounts, so they can be hard to find. I thought it'd be a good idea to make a thread. [B]Background:[/B] [url=http://www.japanator.com/rog-and-tyrone-the-inadvertent-spokespeople-of-anime-31332.phtml]Here is an article that can explain better than I can[/url] It's that time again when all the planets align and 4chan does something really funny. As I understand it, some guys on /a/ found [url=http://fiverr.com/]Fiverr.com[/url] which has a bunch of people offering various services for $5. Among them was a pair of guys who do video testimonials. You could pay them $5 and they'd read a short script on video. Not a lot of people know that these two guys are actually completely separate gigs (they've never even met), and the anime stuff wasn't their idea. The idea behind this was for kinda serious product testimonials for small-time companies and stuff. Instead, 4chan sends them in all sorts of crazy anime-parodying scripts. Somehow, they ended up creating a fictional feud between the anime loving Australian Prime Minister, Rog Rogerson and the Moe-loving Tyrone. Rog's real name is [url=http://fiverr.com/activerog/give-you-a-genuine-video-testimonial]Roger Stockburger[/url] and he's a motivational speaker and marketer. Tyrone is actually named [url=http://fiverr.com/greatgigsguy3/do-a-testimonial-video-at-my-desk-with-monitor]Gordon Hurd[/url], he lives in the UK, and is an author, a former TV presenter, and a [B][I]Christian Preacher[/I][/B] People have also used Tyrone and Rog for other things as well, not just anime arguing.

Tyrone is going to regret doing this one if/when he learns the story behind this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zZjSMED0IE[/media]

Space Dandy is mai waifu.

[QUOTE=KingGrim;43929648][video=youtube;3_vmOvfbg90]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_vmOvfbg90[/video][/QUOTE] Thanks but there is another one. That one is good though

I think there is one where he says "You will enjoy anime" and then just laughs for the a minute or so. Found it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83v9YLS5oKY[/media]

oh my god these are amazing. Love the gurren lagann ones especially.

i wonder, how much do they understand about the stuff they talk about? do they get curious about all these weird anime/videogame references, or do they simply not care considering all the money they're probably making? [editline]16th February 2014[/editline] ok apparently this is what they think of it (taken from the article in the OP) [quote]When [Rog] first started getting requests for anime-related videos, he quite literally said "WTF?" He also started to catch YouTube Poop edits of his videos. At first he wasn't sold on the idea, saying they were "a bit below the belt," but once he took a closer look, he realized all the time and effort being put into these edits was a creative use of users' talents that was "quite cool and impressive."[/quote] [quote][Tyrone/Gordon] says he originally thought the flood of requests was due to "a new thing on the market" but soon found that he found himself "enjoying doing anime videos." He laughed and added, "but I keep begging the sellers for the right pronunciations." [...]Gordon also mentioned that due to the popularity of the anime-themed video requests, he decided to check out some anime himself. He told me that he watched "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and plans to watch more. I can only assume he meant an anime AMV, which (frankly) is adorable. Perhaps one user will feel bad about making him read that lolicon script, now.[/quote]

I think that someone should pay for a facepunch-related video.

[QUOTE=oskramorir;43934095]I think that someone should pay for a facepunch-related video.[/QUOTE] In honor of the almighty postal, of course.

Tyrone is the best.

[QUOTE=oskramorir;43934095]I think that someone should pay for a facepunch-related video.[/QUOTE] Get him to read tropsical's first post

[QUOTE=oskramorir;43934095]I think that someone should pay for a facepunch-related video.[/QUOTE] Should be a video promoting our glorious leader postal and his valent crusade against the bowels of the rust subforum.
