Title: You know how in manga they try to make ANYTHING be awesome?
Post by: Grandy on March 21, 2009, 08:49:29 PM: Like, an epic quest to enter a football game, or a golf game in which everyone gasps in horror as if world depended on that and what not. Just look at Yu-Gi-Oh, as an example.

I personally love manga, but I can't help but think there must be something out there that they canNOT make awesome. Then I think a little and see that no, they actually can, as long as you don't care about common sense.

Here are Two Examples:

Manga About Eating contests.
- A teenager who aways had problems for being too fat discovers his real talent in an rice cake easting contest! He even got a master, ex-sumo wrestler, who decides to train him in the arts of eating through intensive training. Cue absurd training like "You must go seven deays without eating to train your resistence!" "You must eat the truck tire in order to train your stomach to hard stuff!" and when he decides not to do it the master goes "BAKA!!! DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT THE AMERICANS IN YOUR CURRENT STATE?! *insert rival name here* IS KNOW TO EAT THREE TIRES A DAY FOR BREAKFEAST!" The guy also gets a girldfriend by saving her by... uh... eating a stick her ex-boyfriend was going to use to beat her.

Manga about YTP
- A kid whose father was a comedian decides to follow his footsteps and make people laught, after he died being assassinated by henchmen hired by another, jealous, comedian. However said kid can't deal with both school and working as a comedian at the same time, and gets depressed. And in the middle of that depression he finds... YouTube Poop! He decides to make one, and gets pretty crappy reviews, (and as he reads them the camera zoons in, out, spin, and does DRAMATIC STUFF complete with Death Note-ish choir in the background), the kid breaks down crying after not being able to follow his father, but someone there posts a new comment, about how at least the kid has potential, the kid then enters a harsh training trying to find the perfect source of comedy and swears to be the best YouTubePooper on the whole world! He enters YTP contests and all, his obligatory rival is a kid YTP genius who can make excellent YTP using only Hotel Mario as a source!

Also, as someone might have noticed, I am not thinking straight. I haven't slept nicely for two days. But I remember Darg saying we could bring back the nonsense threads, so...

Beating WalrusGuy is like beating Chuck Norris or Mr. T. It won't end well at all. XD

OH OH! I got something I made during an MSN conversation!

Why yes, yes it is. Me and a friend were joking about how he always seems to be smiling no matter what and suddenly he's NOT smiling. We were like "OMG! HELL HAS FROZEN OVER!" being jokingly over dramatic.

Post by: Grandy on March 21, 2009, 10:44:50 PM: I only got ever to the second chapter before getting bored of it. >_>

Which is weird, because I really like hot chick who take their clothes often.

Edit: I have more examples but I need to dig through it. But it's hard to top dramatic potato chip eating!

I've read it. One of the bread is so good anyone who eats it dies and goes straight to heaven fro 10-15 minutes, before coming back to life. Complete with heartbeat stoping and whatnot.

No, I stoped reading it after chapter two. It's frustating that the guy never manages to-...
