WTF Theater Part 7: VERY Afraid of THIS

My friends, I think we have a REAL winner this time.

Okay...now, to be fair, the last several entries on this list are kind of low-hanging fruit. Some of them likely make sense in context (tennis killing dinosaurs, giant enemy crab killed with music) and some are just Japan's oddness (weird female wrestler entrances, JRPG critical mass). Heck, even that strange Marik video makes some kind of sense: he's pretty batshit crazy and that video shows it off in a weird but interesting way.

But this...THIS...

THIS MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.

I stumbled over this when I remembered an old Real Ghostbusters episode and decided to see if it was on Youtube. It was. In THIS form.

WHAT. THE. FLYING. FUCK.

It's like some sort of bizzaro fanfic crossover from hell, except it's not even THAT because it's just bits crammed into an already established episode and...who did this? Why are there multiple episodes? WHY are they doing this? Is this some private internet joke on some back of the woods forum that was put up on Youtube? EXPLAIN, INTERNET! EXPLAAAAAAAAAAIIINNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. I remember running into a similar brilliant idea a while back. One of the franchises was Winnie the Pooh, but I forget who he was crossing over with. One can also draw connections to that Retsupurae video where the kid used footage from multiple video games to make a story about Luigi.

    I'd say this is obviously the product of a little kid, and kids in the Internet age are wont to post silly things, but Ghostbusters is a pretty odd pick for someone who was probably born in the early 2000s, making me think it could be some sort of mentally deficient adult instead.

    Honestly, I did something sort of like this when I was a kid - I took comic strips and drew in my own character interacting with the other characters. It's a silly kid thing.

  2. I'm sorry for your lost sanity, man. But this is an actual thing, and it's not just with Ghostbusters. These people also have a penchant for crossing Disney (mostly Winnie the Pooh) with just about anything. Even - and I swear this is not made up - Godzilla films.

    I would say it's just an internet fad by 13-year-olds mucking around with WMM, but there's so many of the damn things it's hard to tell if they're being serious about this or not.
