A Series of Poor Decisions: The Twitter Song

"why are you calling Hashmarks 'pounds'?" Because he's from the states.

10/21/2009 08:10:00 PM

I know I liked it. Song: catchy. Lyrics: funny. Image singing: nice touch. Constantly returning to The Beach: hilarious. Cody, you are my favorite video-maker and columnist on Cracked. (Well, you tie with BriTANick for videos.)

That was one of the better videos I have seen here.

I liked this song - reminded me of Memento, the way the story's told backwards and the mime shooting. But why are you calling Hashmarks 'pounds'? the pound sign is �.

I don't know anybody who actually uses twitter, how is this popular?

You have to know Twitter to understand this video. Otherwise it just doesn't make any sense.

Also, i don't get the #'s. Is that a twitter thing?

"Oh, I found out the past tense of twitter. Twat."

i love this song. ima download it. i liked how it went back and showed the events and actually told a pretty good story. i was disappointed that the url it showed during the song didnt work. (the one about the gash from the fight) still a kickass song all the same.

07/11/2009 12:10:00 AM

One of the best, most creative vids I've seen in a while. The song is catchy (i want it, btw) the jokes are funny and numerous, and the style is pretty inventive. kudos!

07/10/2009 11:54:00 AM

ryllick

There were three things I particularly loved (besides the fact that it was just plain hilarious). 1. That it went backwards in time down the page (I love how you could track it that way, it was funnier with him killing the cat, and then at the end getting a cute cat, etc.) 2. I loved how the tiny pictures of the guy were singing. 3. I laughed at the "from txt, from web, from twixt, from twib, from wext, etc."

StardustMelody

I love the "trending topics" along the edge of this... Like in the "Helpful Tutorial" video, there was just too many funny things going on at once for me to keep up. Several viewings required.

Anyone know if I could get just this song anywhere? It's awesome.

07/05/2009 04:10:00 PM

astrolounge

There is a legit site (syphtr.com) that tells directors/reps about "unknown" actors - decent move for us who are still struggling, just FYI.

07/04/2009 09:47:00 PM

wow, i had to see this twice to get all the lil jokes haha

Also: The Beach is awesome.

I liked the reverse chronology of the tweets. Built on itself. And nice use of mime; there's something inherently amusing (and simultaneously terrifying) about them, and I think making fun of them is underutilized in humor (because what I think matters, dammit!)

07/03/2009 07:01:00 PM

Wren

I have a different take on it. My theory is that Chaos is just a cocknugget

07/02/2009 12:43:00 PM

Like Memento, only good.

LovelyCracked

I agree with you, LobsterMonster. Doctorchaos is obviously a first rate superior intellect. He isn't a semiannuated half-brained conspiracy theorist with too much time on his hands and no important accomplishments to speak of. He certainly doesn't live in his parents basement. He must be some sort of comic genius. He only comes to Cracked to point out how horrible all of their stuff is. I think I've been typing long enough that he's lost interest, though. Thankfully he has a shorter attention span than my labrador retriever.

07/02/2009 09:22:00 AM

Cuindless

I love the subtle humor in this. This song is going to be stuck in my head all day now, thanks.

07/02/2009 08:24:00 AM

TAMortensen

Doctorchaos is insightful and clever. I think all free content should be tailored for his short attention span.

HA just noticed the quotes on the login screen.

07/02/2009 04:51:00 AM

theHeadCase

Oh and Doctorchaos You should really watch the whole video before you post. Of course it wont make sense unless you saw it from the beginning and on twitter the beginning is the end. Sorry for the double post.

07/02/2009 02:53:00 AM

justarandomguy

I have to admit that was quite AWESOME! Twitter rapes your mind and lets you go insane during the course of a month. The reverse chronology is also kind of well done, even though I did not understand it in the beginning (I don't really want to understand Twitter anyway) If you are reading comments it is kind of annoying to have this reverse chronological stuff going on. So will this ever get changed in those comments around here?

07/02/2009 02:49:00 AM

justarandomguy

AMAZING! This isn't obvious in your face humor, so those who didn't get it, too bad. Also, Doctorchaos, 15 secs watched? With that big of a post? Really?

07/01/2009 10:45:00 PM

nice idea, poor execution

07/01/2009 10:01:00 PM

you can find many hot girls on__Classymingle C om_. They are looking for wealthy lovers. and maybe you are the next..

But you're not going to do that, because then what would you whine about to strangers?

07/01/2009 08:52:00 PM

SirPeaches

Oh my god, I can't believe I sat through that entire thing. I've got to learn to stap watching the videos on this site (Except Swaim and Gladstone, obviously).

07/01/2009 07:32:00 PM

this was really good, s'all you can say.

07/01/2009 07:28:00 PM

I almost never leave comments, and when I do it's normally because someone said something stupid. But this song was amazing.

07/01/2009 06:31:00 PM

Really clever. Wish it hadn't been so catchy though. Damn.

Cody is seriously the funniest guy on this site other than Seanbaby. He need his own column NOW.

07/01/2009 05:11:00 PM

That was very well done. Just how I like my steaks.

07/01/2009 04:11:00 PM

This is what I love about twitter. You can see the twitterer slowly devolving into a psychopath.

07/01/2009 03:30:00 PM

The reverse chronology was great. And the song is now stuck in my head. I hate you.

You sir, are hilarious. FANTASTIC job.

07/01/2009 03:13:00 PM

The video and backwards chronology was great. The song itself was forgettable though.

07/01/2009 02:48:00 PM

Yay! Cracked posted more Cody!

That was frigging awesome. Well done, sir.

That was great! :) I really liked the backwards chronology. Song was pretty catchy as well.

07/01/2009 02:05:00 PM

That was pretty good! I liked the reverse chronology.

07/01/2009 01:09:00 PM

batshitinsane

just when i think you've turned the corner, your videos go to shit again. the phone vid sucked. i'd rather watch nancy grace blow ronald reagan (yes, now...today) than watch this shyte video. are you 8 years old? that'd make sense. this would be funny to an 8 year old.

07/01/2009 01:03:00 PM

BobbyD84

I think just lost 10 IQ points again. That's not a compliment

07/01/2009 12:51:00 PM

This proves that twitttering, smoking crack and watching The Beach all out the same time is not a good idea.

07/01/2009 12:37:00 PM

TheAntiAssClown

As much as I've hated your last videos, I like this one. Song's catchy.

07/01/2009 12:26:00 PM

Sonicsceam2

That that sucked. I also think cracked is trying to squeeze twitter inside my butt? I ve only bumbed into twitter only through cracked. And I am trying to avoid it. Worst than white ninja. Really...what was that? "I think I ll rob a bank", "I killed the mime". Dude...a god damn fucking mime is Bill Marey compared to you.

HEY GUYS NEW RADIOHAED CD = AMAZINGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

meeeeh. Maybe I'm not into it cause I don't twitter, though.

07/01/2009 11:38:00 AM

It's like the film Memento, but better. I even watched it twice so I could see the blue writing at the side (I have no idea what that writing is; I wouldn't touch Twitter with someone else's second hand barge pole).

07/01/2009 11:29:00 AM

Pedgerow

It took the whole video for me to realize he sings in the little portrait.

07/01/2009 11:27:00 AM

I loved this video, keep it up Cody.

Oh, and about Michael being missing, it's 'cause he's been at Genius Camp. =P It just ended about a week ago, so there should be more videos soon enough.

This is about as enjoyable to me as Twitter. And I don't use Twitter.

07/01/2009 10:31:00 AM

That was amusing and enjoyable.

I thought it would be about TWITTER'S stupid mistakes. I was going to try it, but they asked for my email password, fuck that.

07/01/2009 09:34:00 AM

Fuck that, this is gold. From literally the first second with "We should report tweets as news!" quoted from Legitimate News Media, this is excellence manifested.

07/01/2009 09:31:00 AM

Fucking awful. Another 5 minutes lost to the internets.

College Humor ripoff. Check out We Didn't Start the Flame War on CH. Same concept. They did it first.

07/01/2009 09:00:00 AM

greeenhaze

Very clever. @cyber2uall: i find your lack of humor disturbing.

07/01/2009 08:56:00 AM

Darth_Barry

The story is funny and engaging, the way its written backwards really makes you want to see how he got in that fucked up situation. And i'm quite sure a cyber2uall has enough sand in his vagina to cover a small beach

07/01/2009 08:52:00 AM

@cyber2uall: Shut the fuck up, moron.

07/01/2009 08:49:00 AM

Deceptacon

Cracked usually sets the bar pretty high for humor ... this video didn't make the jump. I don't think it even understood what the bar was for. Maybe it thought it was in a really easy limbo contest. Anyway, not funny.

07/01/2009 08:48:00 AM

SkyPork

@cyber2uall: i enjoyed it, and so did the majority of the other commenters, so i have to disagree with you.

07/01/2009 08:46:00 AM

whitenerd

I must have missed something while watching and I won't watch again to figure out what. Unless you're a tweeter don't bother watching this. It's got a simple style that doesn't ever change, and nothing funny to say. It's not funny, it's not thoughtful. It doesn't really show any musical talents. I guess it's a song that someone at Cracked.com thought we should see. Ignore the first few comments gushing praise on this thing. They're either friends of the creator of the video, or being sarcastic. It's not worth your time top watch.
