Beyond shark-jumping....

[Agent0028]

Nope, I think it's hilarious!

Doesn't this type of thing take place during Star Wars Weekends at Disney World?

That was at Star Wars weekends. If you want to see really funny try to find the one where they do the 80's, I think it was last years.

 

[JacktheRipper]

Am I really the only one who thought it was funny?

Drama queens, all of ya!

I freakin' loved it!! But, I'm really no diehard SW fan. When something is suppose to be stupid I think it's fine.

Vader is too small.

You have to have fun with Star Wars now and then. If we didn't we would never have had
Pigs in Space meets Star Wars

The past years danceoffs have been posted before - I think they're great. Very funny. Imagine how hard it is to dance in stormtrooper armor?

 

[Ven]

you guys are trippin if you thought this video was terrible.. lol you guys need to stop buying into that "nerdism" is mainstream now I gotta hate itt thinking.

I for one thought this was awesome and funny.

 

[Darth Waller]

One wasn't enough.

 

[CelticPredator]

If the PT was never made, I could laugh. But all I see is Darth Vader turning into a crappy 3rd rate villian.


Oh well.

 

[Buttmunch]

So is this smiley :chew considered cannon now?

 

[Cryoguns]

I don't think a Sith Lord cutting up all the little kids with lightsabers on Star Wars Weekends would've necessarily been a better attraction for a theme park.

My wife and I went about 6 years ago and they were doing mock lightsaber battles with the kids in "Jedi Training School" or something like that. At the end, they let the kids battle a guy in a Vader outfit. One of the kids just went nuts on him with his plastic saber and sent his shoulder armor flying

I think Vader just kind of glared at him and made a 'force choke' motion.

 

[Bamboota]

THATS PIMPTASTIC!! I wish I could have gone!

A friend of mine from Youtube went there this year and they still do that.

They do the Jedi Training year round at Hollywood Studios in Orlando. I tried to get my little cousin to do it when I took him last November but he wouldn't.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Can someone please explain what 'jumping the shark' means?

 

[Agent0028]

Jumping the shark is a term for when something that used to be good has gotten bad. The origin stems from the TV show Happy Days. Towards the end of the shows run there was an episode where the cool tough guy Fonzie ski jumped over a shark. At that point there was no denying the show sucked I guess.

 

[Rook]

That was awesome. At first I cringed at the notion of it, but I actually wound up enjoying it.

I always thought that Shark-jumping was more accurately defined as the point where a show's creators have run out of ideas to keep the show fresh, so they do something arbitrary and ridiculous. This was epitomized by the aforementioned scene from Happy Days.

 

[dunedain]

It just made my day. Just hilarious. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't see the video.

That well could be, I basically went off my understanding of the term based on the situations I've heard it used.

 

[jedibear]

I dunno, Monk...I'd say arbitrary and ridiculous pretty much sums up this viewing experience....

 

[Agent0028]

Are arbitrary and ridiculous synonyms of fun?
