Striking Back - The Nuclear Option of Music Videos
By Brent Diggs on Jun 10, 2008 in Humor
Although as a writer I always have the highest hopes for all my material, I was surprised at the way my last video blog Iron Maiden Deficient was met with critical acclaim.
Very, very, critical acclaim.
Responses were mixed with some people objecting to my wardrobe selection while others were offended by the offhanded way I “murdered” a classic song.
Not wanting to be left out, a third group formed to express their displeasure at the delicate timbre of my singing voice.
All in all, the experience has given me a great opportunity for personal growth.
As a result I have come to realize that all people are different.
I have also come to realize that not everyone is going to like what I like, no matter how prominently it features me.
In other words, I have discovered that I really shouldn’t do what I’m about to do now.
After all, the whole point of having Weapons of Musical Destruction is to use them as a deterrent, not as a will-crushing force of aesthetic domination.
I hope that someday history will forgive me for this.
Ladies and gentlemen live from Memphis Tennessee, I give you DangerCouch
(Have patience with the whole black and white thing, it’s supposed to be like that. Kind of like The Wizard of Oz but only with ninjas instead of munchkins.)
The Best Example of Plaid Comedy Music-Videoship Around
If you still haven’t had enough plaid wearing, classic baring, ninja staring video entertainment, then I must inform you that there’s plenty more where that came from upon the resplendent silver surface of DangerCouch and the Tinsel of Doom my very own DVD in which I am a huge star.* Buy it now.

*That was of course before my Toboggans Industries Holly&IvyWood Diet, in which every meal is composed entirely of nutritious and fiber rich twigs and branches of real holly with the occasional garnish of Ivy leaves.
Mine were the poison variety.

“A little too loud for a sneak attack.”
…. That slays me every time.
If there’s anything worse than tripping down three flights of stairs while infiltrating the lair of some evil ninjas, it’s doing it with a full drum-kit worth of cymbals.
did xmas come early this year?
It’s Christmas everyday in DangerWorld, that’s what makes it so dangerous.
Love it, love it, love it!
Thank You (to the third power.)
OK. I’ve changed my mind. You guys are gods. I want to be a roadie for you. I’ll pay.
I think we can work something out. How fast can you liquidate your 401k?
You murdered it less then the settlers did to the Native Americans. I wonder if anyone will get that reference.
We don’t do any Thanksgiving songs. But with a little time we can probably learn.
Personally, I want more Iron Maiden.
Santa joining up with Dangercouch? Terrifying.
Actually we run a protection racket for Santa. As long as he pays up, the presents get delivered.
‘while others were offended by the offhanded way I “murdered” a classic song.’
That was me! Love the mutton chops though. I’m sure history is already penning a letter of apology.
I’m sure you’re right, Alex. Next time be offended more carefully.
I’ll never make the mistake of being offended again!
I’m going to have to remember your creative use of the phrase “critical acclaim” for future reference.
Although I’m not proud of it, I have been known to bend the English language to my will, while no one was looking.
Somehow I sense there will be an excellent example of that abuse coming up on Friday.
But don’t tell anyone.
I finally had time to dive into your sites videos today.. I loved it..lol.. great stuff..Danger Couch Is coming ..thanks..this will be in my head until I click the next video…lol
Thank you. When it comes to material, psychological squatting is what I aim for. As long as you don’t charge rent for your mental real estate, everything will be fine.
Brent! I saw the music video earlier today, but didnt realize that that was really you singing with the band. Is that really you? Pretty Good Singing!!! Impressed!
Yes, that’s me: hairier, plaidier, dangerously unbalanced. I glad you like it that way, it saves me a lot of personal improvements. Thank you.
How spooky that I was reading your blog as you were reading mine!!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Love your work!
Thank you, my work loves you as well.
[…] Brent Diggs of The Ominous Comma brings us a pretty amusing little music video (his site is another one worth checking out as a whole as it’s pretty funny too): Striking Back - The Nuclear Option of Music Videos | The Ominous Comma […]
Scary, esp. the dude (?) in the pink pants. I also hate clowns. I don’t know whether this music video or the last clown I saw scared me more. It’s a toss-up, I think.
We aim to maim, but longlasting emotional trauma works as well.
The pants are tan just so you know, it’s just the lights that leave them looking pinkish.
My plaid suit however, is every bit as offensive in real life. Actually more so.
Thanks for visiting my site & submitting to the carnival. I still don’t get it though…and who is Michael MacDonald. I guess I still don’t have a clue.
