Game Master Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Congratulations again to Team Hank for that epic ride on the Swordfish II. On to the next challenge! It seems like election season gets longer every cycle. Almost as soon as your fervent supporters are out on bond, it’s time to hoodwink those mindless drones into voting you into office (and a self pardon). Well, we here at ASMB have political ambitions of our own and an internet addicted to memes just waiting to go to the polls. Fortunately, we also have the talented and extremely “hip “ or “with it” women and men of Teams Hank and Dean to help on the long treacherous road to ultimate power. Your challenge is, as a team, to come up with a campaign meme for one of your fellow ASMB / UEMB that features the “endorsement” of an [adult swim] or Toonami personality. Once again, you can choose anyone to promote as a candidate as long as they’re a current or former member of those message boards. You can use a meme generator or use image editing software (like Paint). This time you get a week and a half to complete your meme: submissions are due June 24th at 12 am EDT. Edited June 24, 2023 by Game Master Poll up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[classic swim] Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Can’t wait. The memes on both sides have been top notch, and Ghostrek’s simply a comedic genius with those video transmissions. The humor of using obscure UWE character Lord Edward Fairfax for a slogan is also not lost on me at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 how does this work, is everything collectively the 'submission' or is one piece on each side the submission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_annoying_one Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I think it's just one piece per side, but I could use a little clarification on this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the GameMaster so I don't make the rules but I'm in favor of treating this like a campaign. Which for Team Hank that would include their Introduction as well as their End Meme; the five images they submitted. I think it's fair because they put the work into them as part of the campaign challenge and these challenges are all about being creative and producing something entertaining for everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vela Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Wait! I just looked again and I'm even more in favor of accepting all five images as the one submission. Because it's clear that's how it was intended...otherwise their final image technically doesn't have a toonami character endorsing a candidate. It's a bundle package. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand, it’s a newer series and I suspect most here outside that Toonami folder won’t get it as universally as The Ghostrek Files, but it definitely has the good ol spirit with the editing. I also love how it’s brought on by the fact that’s the only talkback I try to participate in every week. I never even have the time to watch the show when it premieres.

I thought a video would help introduce the show to people who haven't seen it yet, but I tried to keep the message relatable w/o too many reveals. Well except the very last bit about the Lupus Coalition XD totally made-up for viewers who have seen it. The part about the gas-leak and now wanting a new commissioner for Scotland Yard is a detail even people who've seen the show might not get XD 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the endorsement is nice, of course you say that.... y'all made a movie trailer, not a meme. As far as video memes go, something like dat boi qualifies. All that said, that submission itself is top notch and I'm not gating in the actual product...that shits lit....but not really meme-ish 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise your meme doesn't meet the full requirements. Your endorsement is in one image and your candidate is in another. So to me our submissions are very similar in that respect and each should be treated as a unit. 11 minutes ago, André Toulon said: not really meme-ish There a two panels that are actual memes in the video Wait no let me rephrase that.

Game Master Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 So, the rules are that you have to link to all parts of the campaign you want for consideration in this thread, but you can deploy the campaign anywhere. We can’t expect people to find everything on their own. At the same time, you should have as much space as you need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
