I laughed out loud. Fuck lols, I laughed, like in real life.
If you can’t make it, fake it, by over-explaining it.
#ilikethat
that was great hahahah
(sigh) now to finish the long-winded essay on post-structuralism i’ve been writing for months
it’s like, i mean, you know
uh, uh, um, like
shit is motherfucking, like, uh, some fucked up, like, shit
there is no motherfucking thing outside the fucking, uh, place-taking, like, grunt
see’m sayin?
—————
< most intelligible deadgod post ever >
Brilliant!
“Motherfucker you can’t step outside of history, what the fuck you smokin’ on?”
i would love for him to do a ‘differance’/derrida video
but seriously, some quality lols
deadgod be like, “This guy’s filled pauses indicate difficulties articulating his ideas,” and post-structuralism be like, “No, he’s just using those words to fill gaps so that the power structure that usually controls all dialogue is unable to find some sort of place in the conversation to shoehorn in and take over.”
fuck yo fatha, kill yo motha
I have a Zune…
I haven’t ever figured out how to use a shoehorn.
You just put your lips together and blow.
‘Get your shit right, get your colors right, man.’
Phenomenon (adj.) – things; shit.
this is amazing
Phenomenon n. Something which ‘appears’.
yes yes yes
things and shit
this is so sweet
goddamn
gonna link everyone to this
Matthew be like, “Inaccurate details.” I be like, “The rhythm of place-taking has become its own reason for the habit, but that rhythm, to me, is, I mean, like, you know.” And dude’s gap-filling be like, “Don’t contradict my flow so you won’t contradict my theories,” which couldn’t be more like a full-of-shit dad, or more Master Narrative.
The guy made his “ideas” clear enough: “modernism” is ‘your father telling you how things are’ and “post-structuralism” is ‘you responding that “pops is full of shit”‘.
But literary “modernism” was persistently skeptical of inherited Master Narratives, and the “post-structuralism” of, for example, Derrida is doubtful that the exertion of “power”, while perhaps discernible, is confidently to be resisted by virtue of that discernment. (That is, in shorter words, ‘just because you (think you) see and denounce oppression, you haven’t overturned or left behind oppressive relationships’.
Now get off my lawn, you shitty, like, kids.
But the kids be like: “This is our lawn, deadgod.”
But the kids also be like: “It’s kinda cool when deadgod conjugates colloquially.”
So that’s where Ali G’s been. Respec!
I wonder if deadgod gets what he is doing. Not with his explanation of post-structuralism per se, but the overall arc of his way of speaking. He is using one manner of speech to not alienate those who might normally be off put, not because of their failure’d ability to understand, but because of the social structure built to keep “them” out, and also the inherent need to retain a superiority type over another demographic. And Young Hen man, he is well aware that using those makers of uh, um, you know, etc put people often times more at ease because it is viewed as either one is working over their thoughts or one is slightly vulnerable or one’s hesitation doesn’t bring up the alarms of debate. Kid is dope.
This what all y’all be like tryin’ to say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJQU22Ttpwc
Yeah, this is totally my lawn, deadgod. My jarts are right over there.
Seriously, though, you wanna maybe play some jarts?
The kids be like, “Every lawn we’re led to is ‘ours’.”
I be like, “Hey, kid mowing the grass with that shoehorn! Do you think post-structuralism dude’s shit is correct?”
deadgod
it’s like satire, or something
there’s levels
major layers
“i’m like che guevara with bling on: i’m complex” – jigga
Where you forget your jarts is “yours”? Ok, let’s play.
Do you think post-structuralism dude’s shit is correct?
deadgod, you want to talk about serious things. but after 20+ comments, we just want to find our jarts.
agreed, marshall: “satire”
poly-edged sword-of-bling
cliche guevara
I’ve got one wedged in the back of my footwear. Where’re those dag-nab “instructions”??
No, not really. It’s not the worst five-minute introduction I’ve heard, but mostly I like the humor. Modernism kind of gets a raw deal, for sure.
Nuanced and fair never seem to pal around with short and funny, though.
Actually, nuanced and fair usually stay off the internet entirely. They seem to prefer to hang at the library. Nerds.
I sort of like this. I am in academia and never really understand the terms I hear around me every day Like I feel fake and real when I walk hallways. Does that make sense? So I in some way like this. I’m lost often in the “big” words, especially lit-crit words filling the air, but it’s OK. I’m not an intellectual. It’s OK. Am I talking to myself now? Maybe.
I saw this in the recent comments on the side of the page and figured it was about shoehorns. it wasn’t, of course.
ah shit
this is jayson musson
http://www.jaysonmusson.com/
rip plastic little
everyone pay ur respects to jayson musson
he’s the dude
“…things and shit, in the world.” Best part…
Wow, I fucking loved this! I laughed so hard and spasmodically that I scared the cat out of the living room.

I would buy deadgod a beer.
I mean, I’d buy the fellow in the video a beer, too. Beers for everyone, y’all.
It wasn’t? Oh.
Shee-it.
OH NO! It looks like it got yanked for the crying game scene. Fucking grand-narrative bastards over at You Tube slapping around the little man again!
I think you’re right, marshall
jayson musson is unusually highly respectable
I now think the post-structuralism video is not “satire” (though putting it here, so I’m-a-homie-too! homies can feel = hippity hop and > elbow-patched Perfessers, looks mighty sarcastic).
I still think the video’d argument is inaccurate.
In the theory racket, I still see “conservative” when foax say that things they’ve not demonstrated understanding of are ‘all bullshit’.
thank you for introducing that link
dude relocated to vimeo, post updated.
youtube = weak
master narrative: wasn’t me
revolutionary critique: who denied it, supplied it
post-structuralismasm: [inject indeterminacy]
the dominant manner of speech is ‘street’
the subjected manner of speech is ‘academy’
that is what Hennessy “is doing”
seeing revolution in this reversal, and not seeing/caring about Hennessy’s erroneous explication (if it is that), is, to me, self-congratulatory naivety
I will trade my portion of Hank’s donation for vodka, rack the balls for the next break, and buy the next round
hey watch it with the library/nerds thing simmons
I’m quite likely hiding in the stacks right now, mimi.
“see ‘conservative'” = ‘see “red”; become aggravated’
post-structuralism dude is not one of the foax who say that ‘I don’t understand x‘ = ‘x is bullshit’, but I became rancorous in whiffing – perhaps mistakenly – this equation on this thread
the video probably isn’t accurately described as “satire”
yeah
the argument might be “inaccurate”
yeah
don’t think the “point” of the video is to make an argument
seems like it’s just supposed to be funny and maybe be a little irreverent towards “academic” shit
don’t know what that other stuff you said means
“see ‘conservative'” = ‘see “red”; become aggravated’
post-structuralism dude is not one of the foax who say that ‘I don’t understand x‘ = ‘x is bullshit’, but I became rancorous in whiffing – perhaps mistakenly – this equation on this thread
Post-post-structuralism says, “I’m going to take a Black Sheep song, “street” talk and dress, and put it in commercials. The dominant classes can laugh and smirk at the clever destruction of classic hip hop, while the target audience associates the product with street credibility.”
Post-structuralism says, “Eeck. But all gods are dea-” *dies*
