So have you seen this show Yu-Gi-Oh?

[DrWeird]

I was flipping through the channels the other day when I went home for lunch. I got up to get my food out of the microwave, and got back to my chair I had stopped at the Cartoon Network. They had this show Yu-Gi-Oh on, looks like some kind of derivative rip off of the already horrible Pokemon. So they've got this crazy spiky hair kid for the main character. Looks like this:



Now, the kicker is, despite the characters appearance, the guy they got to do the voice acting sounds like the ill gotten love child of Barry White and Robert Stack. It was really bizarre. It must have been some joke, "hey, let's have the guy who does the voice overs for movie previews be the voice of this goofy, punky twerp. This show probably won't last more than a couple episodes in the states anyways. It'll be funny." I understand it was so successful they made a movie. I couldn't imagine what those parents had to go through watching 90 minutes of James Earl Jones as a proverbial Mickey Mouse. Poor bastards.

1. Ugh, it's such a stupid show

"I will pull out this card and fight your attack"
"Aha! I deflect your attack with this card"

You get the picture.

2. It was HORRIBLE!!! I took my son to see it -- I ususally enjoy kids

movies -- but this one -- I am lucky I made it thru. Now he wants it on DVD!!! Good thing he doesn't have any money!

3. last year,

when I was teaching at that fundie school, I had a seven-year-old who loved that stuff. When it was his turn to offer the prayer in class, he always ended it thanking God for Yu-Gi-Oh and the Millennium Puzzle. :D Funny kid.

12. That's pretty funny

Most fundies I know think the show and the trading cards are demonic.

4. My 6 yr old son is obsessed w/ Yu Gi Oh. All he asked Santa for this year

was YuGiOh cards and the YuGiOh movie on DVD. The deep voiced guy is actually the spirit of an ancient Egyptian pharoh who possesses the body of Yami YuGi with his permission. Yes, I have been subjected to far too many hours of this crap.

5. I'm so sorry

My cousin went through a Barney phase. I'm scarred for life.

[loudestchick]

8. I long for the days of Sesame Street. *sigh*

[blondeatlast]

7. You have my deepest sympathy. My 7yo has moved on,

but we went through that phase.

Strength will see you through.

[blondeatlast]

6. My kid has grown out of it, thank all that is good and right in the world.

Last year he went as Yu-Gi-Oh for Halloween.

I took no pictures last year. Ugh.

[Crandor]

20. "Yu-Gi-Oh" is just the name of the show

The protagonist's name is Yugi.

[DrWeird]

21. Oh?

nt

[Corgigal]

9. I HAD to see the movie

I only wish they had a hangman's noose for sale at the concession stand. I would have stood in line to purchase it.

[Arkana]

10. I actually have played the card game

It's kinda fun. Makes you think.

[sakabatou]

11. How much is a couple to you?

It's been going on for a while.

[Streetdoc270]

13. You dont get out much do you?

Its the best selling, most popular CCG (Collectable Card Game) in the US outselling Magic last year. They have Tournaments with a Million dollar prize! The cartoon/movies is a tie-in to the game.

[DrWeird]

17. I've been aware of it.

But I don't know the details. Probably because I do indeed get out much.

[Az]

14. Just so you know

The voice you are hearing is not his actual voice. The character is actually two individuals. The kid has a squeeky voice. But that giant pyramid pendant he wears allows the spirit of a Pharoah to exist inside his mind. The voice you are hearing is the voice of the Pharoah.

Just to let ya know.

[loudestchick]

15. Too late I said this about...ages ago. Have you been napping?

Yes, I am a smart ass.:spank:

[Az]

16. Musta been

Just had to stick up for the dimensionally challenged.

[loudestchick]

19. Beware of the "shadow realm "...boooga booga!

[Az]

22. You really have been subjected to too much haven't ya

Actually even though I wouldn't site Yugi as a prime example of Anime its far better than most of the crud on prime time network. I would gladdly sit through an episode of Yugi than any reality show.

[loudestchick]

23. Step away from that remote! You have clearly been taken over by some dark

spirit!

I cannot wait for him to move on to the next obsession...I used to think that Power Rangers were bad...:scared:

[DrWeird]

18. that's great.

just wonderful.
