I’m a turtle. I didn’t know a Danish was a pastry. I only eat pizza. I searched this ship for a Danish man.

MS Paint fixes EVERYTHING.


Especially Titanic.

That Casablanca thing is basically unreadable. Does the blog get any better or should I just say "fuck it" and move on?

The rest is unreadable too.

And in true ‘me’ fashion, I wrote myself into....

Yeah, no shit.

So, here's the thing: Casablanca is a classic for a reason. You're a, what? You're hung up on the fact that you went to school? And you like making things about you? Huh.

Historic moments in Australian comedy:

1. Yahoo Serious is born

2. This blog is started

That's both of them. You may begin laughing whenever you like.

3. Someone from Texas claims to follow Australian comedy.

Well, that sucked. But with heavy application of MSPaint's largest paintbrush and the color black, we can erase it from the internet!

If he wanted dancing in Casablanca, he should have mashed it up with Showgirls, which had less of a plot to deal with. Plus nakedness.

Looks like the blogger saw how popular Allie Brosh is, and decided it was easy.

Hint: It's not easy.

I think this blog is funny. She asks: "How can a post-Happy Days movie about sharks not have one single Fonz reference?"

A damn good question if you ask me.

bollocks.

I agree that it appears to be trying to copy the style of Hyperbole and a Half, but doing a terrible job at it. The thing is, Allie is both a great storyteller and a great artist. For instance, the way she captures the emotions, thoughts, and actions of her dogs using nothing but MS Paint and words is genius.

Also, dude cannot draw a Ninja Turtle for nothing. I draw like shit 99% of the time, but I have not lost the skill to draw TMNT that I honed in sixth grade.

Sorry guys, didn't realize it was Australian until halfway through. The utter irreverence and Guy Sebastian references should have tipped me off, though.

Yeah, this seems like a poor attempt at Allie Brosh style MS Paintcraft.
