For all you comic book geeks

Sad but true. I know a few guys like this.

[WCGreen]

1. I still buy the comic books....

now and then....

[xmas74]

2. But do you do reenactments of the major battles

in your local park?

[WCGreen]

3. Only once....

Nah, I would never do anything that geeky.....

I did, however, dress up as robin back in 1967 when I was nine years old....

[xmas74]

5. Dressing up when you are nine doesn't count.

You have to legally be able to purchase beer for it to count as truly geeky.

[AirmensMom]

4. ...

:eyes: I couldn't watch the whole thing.

[xmas74]

6. Then you missed the best part at the end.

One of the guys has to stop the battle and talk his mom through tech assistance on his cell. And the kid in the video hauls off and kicks the crap out of all of them.

They're all such wusses!

[AirmensMom]

16. Oh ...

guess it just didn't hold my attention. I'll try again ... maybe FF it. :D

[xmas74]

17. You have to like comic books to understand

[AirmensMom]

18. It's been a LONG time.

I used to read Archie ... but only when my brother had a leftover copy. :silly:

[xmas74]

19. Not quite the same, is it?

These are beyond the range of Betty, Veronica and Jughead.

[AirmensMom]

20. You're right.

I probably wouldn't understand these. :D

[Cannikin]

7. dupe

[xmas74]

9. But do you dress up as comic book characters

and reenact their battles at public parks? The men in this video do.

Growing up I liked comics. Sometimes, if I'm at my nephew's, I'll grab one of his or grab a graphic novel from my brother. But I don't dress up. Even Trekkies are not as bad as the guys in this video.

Then again, I need to find the park they play at. I could probably get a date.

[TimeChaser]

13. I dress up

as game and anime characters :D

[xmas74]

15. Then you would understand the humor in this clip.

First time I watched it I cracked up.

[Cannikin]

8. I've really gotten into Batman graphic novels, but no comic books

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. ROTFL! Wonderful!!

That is truly amazingly funny and wonderful!

"We have the field at 3 pm for a Crisis group" - fucking brilliant!!

[xmas74]

11. I did love that one.

I notice that many did not appreciate it on here. Maybe you have to have some level of geekiness to appreciate it?

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. I think that without a proper geek background,

that video comes across as serious, and therefore scary.

Also, I'm not sure if the non-geek could even find it funny, it being so self-referential.

[xmas74]

14. That might be the case.

I sent this link to my brother and he found it to be quite funny. My best friend did not. She said that she just didn't get it.

One of the best lines has to be this one.

"Children today are learning about Wolverines's cloned twin sister- I mean what's that about."

Brandi did not understand because she doesn't even know who Wolverine is. (She refuses to read comics, graphic novels or view movies based on such. She's such a Lit snob.)
