"Meta-humour"
date: August 25, 2008
This and A_S's work both work on the same kinda level. It's not that anything particularly funny happens here, or in his neverending-yet-curtailed series, more that it's just funny that they even exist.
What kind of person would make a daily-updated series with 300 episodes with such minimalist elements. What kind of person would make a regularly-updated series that updates in intervals of 1 year (and manages to stick to that schedule and bring the series to a conclusion)? You two.
That's just crazy and the concept itself makes me laugh.
'Spinning the wheel'? Apt name. I wouldn't have thought you'd be a George Michael fan. That was aa cool song though - hadn't heard it before.
The series ended in probably the best way it could. Simple, minimal and conclusive.
I rewatched episode 3 before this and really got a lot out of it but can't imagine anyone who wasn't along for the ride previously enjoying it.
Well, consider this 9 more for the overall 'meta-humour' of the series rather than this particular episde in itself.
You and A_S may be pioneers! Though I'm sure there are examples, I can't think of other examples of meta humour. Maybe I should go into an open mic night and just feign death? Or maybe that'd be dickish and boring/annoying rather than funny. Hrm.

Author's Response:
Actually, Afro_Stud suggested Spinning the Wheel song to be put on this flash. I didn't have much other song ideas, so I gave that song a try and thought it would work out. I'm not a George Michael fan, but his songs are ok.
Thank you very much for those comments Bezman. :)
