Copypasta

On 17th October, 2008, user Young Buck posted a thread on the message board Boxden called “DON’T WATCH AN ANIMECALLEDBOKU NO PICO”^[1], with the following post.

"Man this sh*t is so wrong in so many motherfu*king levels yo…I was talking to one of my white friends and he sent me 3 videos with the name only labeled “Boku” I said to this dude, What’s this sh*t? He just giggled and said “Just watch them and MAKESURENOBODY IS AROUNDYOUWHENWATCHING IT!” Then I thought it was some weird porno or some strange sh*t but as I watched the first video, I was like “Yo…..what the fu*k..” THEN IT CONTINUED and I was like “Yoooooooooooooooooooooooo…….” THENTHEYGOT IN THE MOTHERfu*kING CARANDTHEN I SAID“YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

So I Just want to tell you all right now..DON’T WATCH AN ANIMELABELEDBOKU, DON’T DO IT NIGGA, IT’S LIKESUCCUBUS. REMEMBERWHAT I’M SAYING TO YOUNIGGAS!"

Young Buck’s post inspired a dramatic reading recording. This recording became viral on the Japanese media hub niconico Douga,[4] becoming also a source of various MAD videos.

There’s also another copypasta first posted on /mu/ that regards the second episode in a much different manner.

"I recently started watching an anime entitled Pico to Chico, and all I can say is… Wow. Unlike so many modern shows that stumble over every excruciating minutia of their characters, Pico to Chico tastefully crafts a story and leaves the characters to mystery (only a fool would dare call the character development “shallow”).
Post-modern existentialism is the soup of the day as we progress through their adventure, only to find that materialism is the only thing that keeps us living, but it’s not in a pompous, pseudo-intellectual style that implies that’s a recent phenomena; it’s handled delicately but will impact you in a way that leaves you asking “Why?” Unlike our hack-ridden film industry, Pico to Chico uses metaphors in an excruciatingly subtle way. Sharp-eyed spectators should be able to spot the humanistic properties Chico’s sister displays. Just when you think all of the questions raised will be answered, the film comes to a halt, leaving you, the viewer, left to ponder the hidden questions scholars have kept to themselves up to their untimely deaths.

I don’t think this film justifies an arbitrary rating of stars; it’s much better than that. It deserves a place among the highest modern philosophical works of our world. Nietzsche, thy name is Pico."
