Title: Is TROGDOR funny?
Post by: Setekh on October 11, 2003, 06:19:23 am: Okay guys, here's the deal. TROGDOR is the name of this dragon that a cartoon character from Homestar Runner.com (http://www.homestarruner.com) invented. Now, I thought it was a pretty widespread net humour thing, but I ran a search for "trogdor" on the forums and couldn't find a match. So I'm guessing most of you haven't seen it before. Here's a link to the cartoon:

Anyway, here's what I want to know. Half of my friends at my school watch TROGDOR and can't help rolling on the floor in fits of laughter. The other half stares at the first half and wonders what is wrong with them, as well as why TROGDOR is so funny. So, is it funny, or is it not? :D

There was actually a Trogdor reference in the final episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Post by: Carl on October 14, 2003, 03:22:57 pm: Exerpt from Buffy season finale:

16 INT. DINING ROOM AT BUFFY'S HOUSE - NIGHT
Giles and Xander are looking intently at a map that's laid out on the table.
GILES
I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?
XANDER
By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.
GILES
That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.
Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.
ANDREW
(reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.
GILES
Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)
ANDREW
Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.
GILES
Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?
ANDREW
(scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly british man. (Giles sips his wine again)
AMANDA
I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.
ANDREW
(looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—
AMANDA
Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)
XANDER
Smackdown on Red Riding Hood. This could get ugly.
GILES
Could it possibly get uglier? I used to be a highly respected watcher, and now I'm a wounded dwarf with the mystical strength of a doily. I just wish I could sleep.
AMANDA
What kind of person could sleep on a night like this?
XANDER
(looks over at Anya, who's passed out on the table in the chair beside him) Only the crazy ones.(rubs Anya's hair as she snores)

No. Just means you're a bit sadistic. Could always be worse.l

Post by: ZylonBane on October 14, 2003, 08:28:07 pm: Speaking of sadistic, I just recently discovered the joy of slicing 'n' dicing through the last level of Undying with shield up and scythe in hand.

Any other Undying fans here? I'd say it's well worth the $10 I paid for it. :yes:
