What say you? If you choose "other" please explain.


(BTW I thought the joke was funny, but the "beep" was too loud)

RVR II

I could adjust the sound with Pinnacle Studio 9.4 so it wasn't too loud ;D

Gibborino

It was too loud and that joke has been WAY over-done. Yes, we get it: Samuel L. Jackson, who normally plays foul-mouthed and angry tough guys, is playing a Jedi Knight.

It's about as old as all the "Pulp Fiction" references.

Jonny Jit

I picked other because I wanted no beeps.  Kevin and Bill dropped F bombs for the live shows. 

It was a good joke.  Really funny.
Me Stan. Bachomp Ba chuey chomp.  Ba Chuey chomp.

Hamdingers

I would have preferred the joke to be uncensored, the censored form was annoying and too <bleep> loud

I was quite fine with the joke. In fact, I think it's funnier censored because the guys could be saying something other than the "F" word. I always found not swearing more funny than swearing because it forces one to use their imagination more. Swearing to me is angry language and I do not like it at all. It makes me cringe because I only use it when I'm angry past the point of all reason.
Being a genocidal maniac is not one of my turn ons.

Is it weird to hear the Safety Dance in my head watching Game of Thrones?

I don't agree with the thought that a word is angry. The person using the word is angry. An angry person could say "Puppy Santa Lollypops" angrily. I'm a South Park fan, and I think that the broadcast episodes with the "choice" words bleeped out are just as funny as say, the movie where they aren't. And as far as the Samuel jokes being tired or overused, I again disagree. The only tired joke in Rifftrax that comes to mind are the Schnappi jokes. To me, Schnappi is creepy and weird, like most German stuff.

Didn't have a problem with it being too loud, and I always laughed when it came up.  Good stuff.

A little too loud but mostly funny.  They started to get annoying after the first couple, then they gave it a rest.  After they brought them back out they were funny again.  The first one was priceless.

I dont' suppose anyone has noted the times they occur, I haven't authored mine yet and could go and lower the volume a bit if need be.

The bleeps were mostly just too long.

You know, I'll go with you there.  Wasn't bothered by the volume at all, but it was a very long tone considering they were covering up one word.

As the person that wrote the poll, sorry for screwing that part up... come to think of it ... I'd say it was too loud and too long, the length was probably the most annoying part of the joke. Sorry for F------ up the poll ;D

I agree on that one. Used a few less times overall and a second or two shorter beep would have been good.
