Of Course; It's Very Embarrassing.

[rionaleonhart]

Apparently, someone has now thrown a shoe at the Chinese Prime Minister. My first reaction was 'oh, that's original'; my second was an overwhelming urge to buy fluffy slippers with tiger faces or something similar and hurl them at politicians. Not necessarily politicians I disagree with; just politicians. Perhaps it could even be a slipper-throwing of support. I want everyone to do this. I want throwing cute slippers to become a sort of political Rickrolling. (I am not actually encouraging you to do this, however, because I would hate to hear that you had been arrested for throwing slippers with rabbit ears at a head of state.)

SEE, I CAN STILL TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT AREN'T DERREN BROWN.

Speaking of things that are Derren Brown, however: ahahaha, the card-flip in the fifth episode of Trick or Treat. He is such a bad person! There'd just been two episodes of Derren being lovely, so I suppose it makes sense that he was going to be really, really evil in this one. He is a living reversible Trick-or-Treat card.

Also, I love that the poor guy called the police. You'd think that would happen more often in these things. I think my favourite parts of these episodes are the parts where Derren creepily introduces himself. (You may actually be able to watch this if you are not in the UK; as I am in the UK and therefore not allowed to watch it (grr, YouTube), I can't check whether it's the correct clip, but it seems to be. Can anyone confirm?)


Here, because I felt it logically followed, is a picture of Derren Brown and Mewtwo:




As always, this is an invitation for you to fill the comments with more manips of Pokémon in unexpected places. Or manips involving Derren Brown. Or, of course, manips unexpectedly involving Pokémon with Derren Brown. They do not have to be well done!

Derren has tricked the ukulele into thinking it is a Pokemon.

[rionaleonhart]

Oh, man, that is beautiful. HE NEEDS A UKULELE AND HE NEEDS IT NOW.

I am going to adjust the rules to allow Derren Brown-related manips in general, because I could definitely do with more of this.

[rionaleonhart]

...seriously, I keep going back to look at this again, and every time my grin gets bigger. Completely amazing.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

YOU SEE? YOU NEED TO SEND HIM A UKULELE. YOU NEED TO MAKE THE PICTURE HAPPEN.

[rionaleonhart]

It really does have to happen. It has to. It is too perfect not to happen.

I have just realised that, because of the small triangle of dark-suited shoulder visible to the right of Derren's face, it looks a little like the 'MWUAHAHAA' is in a black speech bubble that happens to be ukulele-shaped.

Send him a ukulele and a copy of that manip. Just to see what happens.

[rionaleonhart]

I actually really, really want to do that.

Really.

A lot.

IT IS SUCH A STUPID IDEA AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Do it! Doooo it!*

(I adore the screaming flailing Dumbledore accompanying that comment. Whole new realms of crossover. Derren Brown goes to Hogwarts?)

*And while you're at it reply to emails ;_;

[rionaleonhart]

...I'll... set some time aside for visiting music shops.

(Well, as Derren Brown clearly is Dumbledore, it seemed appropriate.)

[reipan.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that you will. May I suggest the next time you have an essay due as an appropriate moment?

(Does it bother you that I'm advocating this in spite of not being a Derren Brown fan? I need to stop this fandom voyeurism...)

[rionaleonhart]

(Not really; I just assume you understand the need for ukuleles to be spread across the land. And advocating ukulele-sending is preferable to making manips of unpleasant things happening to Mr Brown. LIKE SOME PEOPLE.)

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

I CANNOT UNSEE THAT.
