"The Days of our Lance"

[Steel4Ever]

I have a good feeling that these vids will become viral.

In particular the phrase, "Shut the fuhck up, Levi", will become as wide spread as this other roboticoid classic: AYBABTU!

Joy.

 

[Cobblestones]

just dont find it funny, its pretty obvious statements mixed together with swearing and weird robots. ah well, each to his own.

The script on its own wouldn't be funny. What makes it for me is the over-the-top rage presented in this absolutely monotone voice and the lack of any body language.

But yeah, YMMV

I hope we see a few more.

 

[Der_Gestreifte]

and the lack of any body language.

Add the the single semblance of body language and it gets even more hilarious:

Shut the f*ck up Levi.
bloke in daft superhero costume shifts his weight with a faint feminine swing of his hips
I cannot adequately express how much anger and rage I have coursing through my veins...

 

[Cobblestones]

Add the the single semblance of body language and it gets even more hilarious:

Funny on a meta level.

Anyway, I hope there's more to come.

When I think about it, what could be funny, too, is a RadioShack/'Downfall' video.

i also think the joke could wear thin.. its the same story each day, lance is crap, levi gets no support. thats radioshack

 

[steelciocc]

Okay already!

Dim...we get it. You're not a fan of the videos.

Quoting myself.

I knew there was one Downfall last year. Finally I found it. If someone could just make an updated version.

I take it all back - that vid just made my sandwich fly out of my nose.

Stage 14: Lance Reminisces

Lance explains his frustration with the growing controversy and longs for the days of yore. Johan is beginning to fray at the edges as well...

Thanks for that. Still enjoy them.

But where the f*** was Levi in this one???

 

[indurain666]

Soooo....pretty much pro cycling then....

Just need to add smashing your opponents on the head with spare wheels

 

[Steel4Ever]

Ah yes!
The ol' WWF/UCI mash-up!

Stage 16: Levi & Lance Showdown

I second cobbles, we want more Levi, STFU Levi. Especially luv the effeminate voice from Levi.

1 a day, at a minimum.... please.

You guys must be psychic:

Lance laments his inability to close the deal on Stage 16, while Levi makes his big move.

 

[redtreviso]

Oh no...Videos are all gone..

?????

 

[Big GMaC]

Lance has had a busy rest day on the phone to lawyers

Lance has had a busy rest day on the phone to lawyers

I seriously hope this isn't what happened.....

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if BPC and his ilk have been emailing youtube incessantly about cursing etc in order to try to get the vids shut down...

 

[bobs nob]

waaahhhhhhhh

I miss them..... :-(

 

[Oldman]

Lance has had a busy rest day on the phone to lawyers

And he's getting a little.....itchy. Maybe I won't be disappointed and he'll do something dramatic before the Tour is over.

Velocity Nation is off line also. The public opinion battle has begun for real it looks like.

uhhh....doubt it. at least not during a race. his drama usually occurs after each stage.

I just noticed that too. What grounds would Pharmstrong's lawyers have?

No idea. He's pretty careful about juxtaposition of names, faces. Sometimes you end up spending money defending being right in these instances and the threat outweighed the immediate importance of satire.

you barely need any grounds. Its incredibly easy to get youtube video's removed. one complaint literally and they get taken off. YOu certainly dont need any legal action or threats to get videos off youtube. takes five minutes, thats all.

Posters of videos have virtually no control, and there is pretty much no way of contacting youtube and getting them back up. they block every attempt at contact.

I seriously hope this isn't what happened.....

like i say, doesnt even take that much effort. removing a youtube video is in chapter 1 of easy things to do on the internet. In the case of these simply a matter of flagging it and selecting the "infringes my rights" button.. youtube review them pretty much straight away and 99% of the time remove the video

I never found them funny, but they were always close enough to the nerve to be likely to be deleted. they were certainly slanderous

 

[cyclestationgiuseppe]

well at least I hope LA and Bruyneel watched them before they got deleted...
they were hilarious!
If one cannot laugh at oneself, one has no sense of humor.
