Pee Reviews[edit source]
Humour: | 9 | I don't know why I don't give this a 10... probably because I've seen funnier stuff. Not often, though. |
Concept: | 7.5 | Concept is fairly ordinary - satirizing or making parody of musical groups. There's nothing else wrong with it. |
Prose and formatting: | 7 | Some history or something wouldn't hurt - but then again it might. |
Images: | 8.5 | No comment needed - anyone with eyes can see they're worth 8 or more in the context. |
Miscellaneous: | 9 | To balance the concept and prose scores: those are both fairly irrelevant in this case. The piece has obviously come straight from the heart, and doesn't actually need any review. I dare anyone try to make a better article/song/joke. |
Final Score: | 41 | I'll have to add: I'm a big fan of off-the-wall humour. It has been done, overdone and overkillery-done umptzillion times in the years after Monty Python. Sometimes one stumbles upon a piece like this - that's not a copy or trying to be - and the world is saved for a while. I'm sorry I cannot give a more detailed account of why I think this is a great piece - have you ever tried to explain "red" to someone? How it is "red, you know, just red!" It's simple, effective, totally innocent, a killer. I know probably 90% (or more) of people don't see what's good about this one. I'll not risk making them all mad by telling what they can do with themselves. |

Humour: | 5.5 | Audio: While I get the joke I just don’t find it as hilarious as Multilit did. And it suffers from being the only joke. Take a look at Weird Al’s This Song’s Just Six Words Long (you tube vid) he manages to satirise repetitive songs without being repetitive himself. If you were to try and do something like this again, it’ll work a lot better if you tried something like that. However I did enjoy the actuall music, it just wasn’t laugh out loud funny. |
Concept: | 6 | Dealt with above, you only have the one idea and not much else. |
Prose and formatting: | 7 | Can’t fault the formatting much except that maybe you could left align every second band member image, makes it look nicer I think and will reduce some of the white space. |
Images: | 8 | Very good use of images! They were funny in and of themselves really and calling the bear Muhammad was a nice little touch. I liked the bar thing you had at the top too, filled in what would have been white space and looked good. |
Miscellaneous: | 6.63 | Averaged, got a weird number so rounded to two DP. |
Final Score: | 33.13 | If you’d like to thank/ask/insult me about anything please visit my talk page.
Please don’t be discouraged! As I said I like the music and it’s good to have someone around here that can do it to a high standard. I just don’t think this is particularly funny. Oh and hard lines with the other song I nommed, I really liked that one! |
