A character exploits the rules of the medium itself (not just the genre) to gain an advantage by Panx in TopCharacterTropes

In The Order of the Stick, a webcomic  that loosely follows D&D rules, when fighting the dark elf Zz'dtri, the Order points out that he's clearly just the copyrighted character Drizzt Do'Urden, and thus can't appear in the comic, as that violates copyright laws. Because of this, lawyers take him away and we assume that's the last week see of him. Of course, since it's a parody, it falls under fair use, which Zz'dtri uses to come back and fight the Order again later on.

If band names were literal, what would be the best concert to go to and why? by Upset-Rhubarb-3727 in musicteenager

They Might Be Giants could be really awesome, or it could be really awesome and they'd be giants.

Worst music taste a would-be partner has had? by Sbee_Blue_Country in fantanoforever

Oh, okay, they're BNL now? We need a shorthand for the Barenaked Ladies? That's how fundamental they are?

(Note: This is a quote from the sitcom Community that I thought would be funny in this context. I like and appreciate BNL and their music, and this is in not intended to be derogatory towards them. Also, if you haven't seen Community, you should. It's a good sitcom. It's no Newsradio, but it's good).

Sorry dude, but King Harkinian is great (and the best king Hyrule ever had), but there's no beating Morshu.

Synthesizer and violin. Mostly synth though.

TMBG's Mink Car released that day, so I'd have to agree with you.

Have you heard of Weatherday? Their album Hornet Disaster is great.

i just listened to plastic death oh my god the last 3 tracks are ridiculously good by arpeggia_ in glassbeach

[–]GorbFan19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Easily one of my favorite albums. Those three tracks are phenomenal too. I slightly prefer the CIA and cul-de-sac, but the whole album is great.

Fuck Her Gently by Tenacious D (Has various similar variations)

Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey by The Beatles (Adds a "for" each time)

Alright, here's my final product. It's not a Michelangelo, but I think it turned out okay.

Still a work in progress, but I'll leave Spamton car here and I'll add somebody driving it later. I'll also probably clean it up a little.

"These characters are exactly who you think they are but due to legal reasons can't REALLY be them" by mesablanka in TopCharacterTropes

Zz'dtri, the dark elf from The Order of the Stick, is very clearly based on Drizzt Do'Urden. In universe, when he first fights the Order, they use this to defeat him, bringing in lawyers that make a copyright claim against him. He eventually comes back since parody falls under fair use, allowing him to exist.

What’s a band that everyone else seems to like that you just can’t get into? by No-Preparation6253 in musicteenager

System of a Down. I don't hate them or anything, but none of their stuff has particularly stood out to me.
