In "A Midsummer Night's Dream", there's a character named "Bottom" who gets turned into a donkey.
He makes a real ass of himself.Saturday, 16-Apr-16 23:22:16 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation I do believe, yes, that is the joke
-
@zennx Gotta say pal, getting a little sick of your tone. I'm aware that this is the joke.
-
@mrmattimation and that, pal, was MY joke
-
@mrmattimation no, it's just lampshading, as was the intent of the original joke;
Bottom himself says(after being transformed, but without noticing it): "This is to make an ass of me, to fright me if they could." -
@zennx I've read the play. I'm fully aware of what the joke was. You don't need to explain it to me.
-
@mrmattimation DUDE, AGAIN, LAMPSHADING
-
@mrmattimation @zennx Alright you two, break it up
-
@mrmattimation It's when you point something out, to the point that it becomes so annoyingly obvious that it makes fun of itself, like creating a character called Bottom, turning him into a donkey only to make an "Ass" joke
or me explaining about explaining in 3 (now 4) posts in a row, to your personal annoyance and expense -
@narwhal I'm done, he doesn't like my kind of humor, and I don't think I'm gonna change that
plus he gets real papayaed real fast and I don't quite like that very much myself -
@zennx I'm sure there are similar contentious things Matt could articulate likewise if he wanted to, but he's since moved on from your conversation with him
