After seeing the juggalo video I'm imagining Pinkie getting in front of a rowdy hostile crowd at a gala and doing her evil enchantress dance while talking about how awesome everything is. And all the time knocking away the bottles and stuff that the crowd throws at her.

You hate me now, but you'll be talking about this years after the fact. Can't stop THIS party train!

This part had me rolling:

I like cupcakes. I’m very picky when it comes to cupcakes — I think more than Pinkie Pie is. I don’t want to speak for her, but from what I understand, she has a very open mind when it comes to cupcakes. For me, it’s more particular. I prefer yellow cake, or strawberry, or cherry. I’m not a huge fan of chocolate cupcakes, although I do like chocolate cake, I just prefer when it’s a cupcake – that smaller-sized cake that can fit into a cup, I’d rather it be yellow or strawberry, or cherry, or rainbow. I don’t care for butter frosting. I prefer frosting that’s made with vegetable shortening, like you might get at the grocery store. I don’t know that Pinkie Pie would be that picky about it. Maybe, though. For all I know, she’s even more particular about the type of cupcake. But I do like cupcakes quite a bit. I’ve never met someone who didn’t like cupcakes, which is one of the great things about it. These are common sources of joy for the majority of the human race.

I only know this guy from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force song but he seems pretty cool.

This is a Good Video(TM). I will confess though, I'm still a little wary of this whole thing. For all we know AWK here is trolling the lot of us, he is the kind of guy who would do something like that. That being said, he could just be a guy who likes ponies and I'm just paranoid or something :ohgawd:

. Nevertheless, now I kinda want to go to Canterlot Gardens just to hear him give a lecture on :ponydrugs:

Without trying to read too much into it, I think Andrew WK is more about telling people to have a good time no matter what it is they do: The Juggalos enjoyed throwing things at him, so that's why he spent so much time and energy on stage at the gathering. I don't think he specifically likes ponies, but he likes people liking things.

And that's nice. :yay:

Mr. WK should have a Phd. in partying.

In my mind, it doesn't matter. If his intent was to troll/poke fun, too bad, he said some good stuff anyway.

Yeah, I don't think he's trolling, but if he is, I still like him. He seems funny and witty and awesome.

(?) · by **Kronos** (?) » Fri Jun 15, 2012 4:22 am

He'd be taking trolling to all new extremes if he isn't a pony fan, considering he's hosting a panel about Pinkie Pie and Parties and more things that start with the letter "p" at that con.

(?) · by **Crow** (?) » Fri Jun 15, 2012 4:24 am

Let's not worry about him trolling. He's yet to give us any proof that he's trolling us.

(?) · by **BartonFink** (?) » Fri Jun 15, 2012 4:51 am

Keep in mind that Andrew WK's "trolling" of the juggalos involved basically going to their thing and putting on a positive happy show while being generally awesome despite being pelted with trash. This is his form of trolling.

Or, to use a rare case of a Youtube comment essentially getting it:

he just takes all the hate and turns it into love

I really can't translate this into trolling MLP fans.

Now those are extreme measures, Pinkie Pie style.

Judging from the interview, it looks like you've more or less already gotten your wish. I love how thorough he is in making his answers completely ridiculous. That first paragraph was borderline Tabatha St. Germain level nonsense. "I really, really like Ohio" was a nice touch. #iamfromohiosoitsokformetosaythat

As Tara Strong would say, he's twolling.

(?) · by **Frosthawk** (?) » Fri Jun 15, 2012 8:02 am

On the whole, the interview made me think he was trolling, but then that Youtube clip makes me think he's not. But the coin could still flip either way.

Must re-post this: a brilliant fan-made Brony video of "What If", the big song from my musical Paradise Lost. http://bit.ly/NNmASs

Technically I don't know if he's a brony or not, but I figured this would fit well into this thread.

(For those who don't know, Eric Whitacre is an extremely awesome and very popular Grammy-winning composer.)

I like that shirt.

While I dislike ponies+blood, I think it's a neat homage to Andrew WK; since the image of him bleeding is one of his most prolific.

I don't particularly find nose bleeds offensive, considering I had so many growing up from doing stupid (but fun!) things. I wouldn't wear it, however.

I like that shirt too! :-D

She partied too hard. Bumped her snout on the wall.

No, it's a reference to this:

The blood is coming from her nose, not her mouth or whatever (I dunno, I never saw that shitty fic).

(?) · by **Mordja** (?) » Thu Jul 12, 2012 4:52 am

Yeah, I actually like it. Andrew WK has succeeded in his goal to make people happy by one, at least. Because I can look at that shirt and think "what a world", but in a :-P

way, rather than a :ohgawd:

way.

Oh man, I'm still super wary of Andrew WK's possibility of trolling even in the face of all the videos/interviews that say otherwise, but I gotta admire his dedication to partying. He's probably not trolling us, and it's been discussed before, but that doesn't really matter anymore. Pinkie Pie crossed with the I Get Wet cover is awesome.

I've been listening to Andrew WK for a long time and there's absolutely no way he's trolling us. He's known for doing awesome random acts of kindness. My friend saw him in concert a while back and after the show, he stuck around to wait for Andrew WK to leave the venue. By the time he finally showed up, there were only a dozen or so people waiting, so he invited everyone back to his hotel room to party. In the room, my friend went up to him and asked him if he'd record his voicemail message. So for the past 8 years or so, if I call my friend and he's not there, I'm greeted with "Hi, this is Andrew WK and you've reached Ryan's cell phone. PARTY HARD!"

He is making me want to go to Canterlot Gardens. I'm not sure if I'll be attending though. :flutterdear:

Does it really need to show all that blood, though? (if it's Hasbro approved) :nngh:
