I don't get into the whole "culture" of fandom, but when it comes to vampires, well, there's a soft spot in my heart. (See the secret project.) It was thus a slap to the face for me, and every other vampire fan when sparkles became associated with them.
Anyhow, happy Funny Friday!
That last 7 seconds gets me.
Are you a fan of sparkly vampires?

Are you a fan of sparkly vampires?
I am a fan of Trueblood but I've never seen Twilight. Oh and I love the Anne Rice novels as well!
ReplyDeleteYeah, don't bother. The book definitely has something to it, but the movie? *gag* I like Interview with a Vampire, but couldn't really get into Lestat's character. Not enough heart? *shrugs*
DeleteI enjoyed Anne Rice's take on the vampires.
ReplyDeleteBut I am not a Twilight fan.
I like most of her take on vampires. I'm not such a fan of her "companionship" undercurrents, but I do enjoy her world.
DeleteI loved the books because of the romance. I hated the whole concept of vampires drinking animal blood instead of that of humans and the whole sparkling concept. But her stories were enjoyable reads.
ReplyDeleteI'm right with you. I didn't so much mind the "vegetarian vampire" aspect, but sparkles? That's offensive.
DeleteCool video! I'm not a fan of sparkly vampires, but I guess the romance aspect is okay.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!
DeleteI'm not a fan of vampires in general. They kind of freak me out with all the blood-sucking. And yet I can get into Dracula stories. And I loved the British version of Being Human (but it was kind of campy and funny most of the time, and the guy who played the vampire was gorgeous). But it was kind of funny how that whole sparkly thing took off in Twilight. I knew what she was going for, but it was perhaps the wrong choice for vampires. :)
ReplyDeleteSECONDED. I actually hated vampires as a kid. Freaked me out. My hubby, on the other hand, used to sleep in his toy box with his arms crossed. As silly as it may be, Love at First Bite kind of won me over. Who doesn't love a campy vampire with a tan and obsession?
DeleteI have a love/hate relationship with vampire fiction. I don't want to get sucked into another one, but when I do...
ReplyDeleteThe niece loves Twilight. And I remember a full on book conversation taking place at the continuation high school, aka the place where the non-academically inclined end up, and the girls were excited about reading. So, for that, Twilight will never be anathema to me.
But, I'm kinda meh on the whole Twilight phenomenon.
Yeah. I enjoyed the books (minus #2), but since then I've discovered so many other vampire books that kick the trash out of Twilight. There are reasons Twilight succeeded, and it has little to do with the "vampire" aspect.
DeleteI hate vampires but with a name like Van Helsing that is no surprise.
ReplyDeleteTouche.
DeleteLOL!!!!! I will pee my pants!!!! Don't know where you found this, but I wanted it to last longer because it's freaking hilarious!!!! I did read the Twilight series and will shamefully admit I got into them, but I also enjoy all the spoofs. Loved Vampires Suck. Happy Friday, lady! Thanks for the crack up! And by the way, I'm eating string cheese. :)
ReplyDeleteNo shame in admitting you liked them. They were fun books. I just have an issue with the sparkles...and love triangle. Grr. Darn love triangles.
DeleteHeh! That was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHaha tht was hilarious! I read the twilight series but I think the host was better.
ReplyDeleteAGREED. The host was everything you wished Twilight could be, but wasn't. I've rarely enjoyed a book so much. (Length aside.)
Delete"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - don't talk" LOL!! Take care
ReplyDeletex
SO many awesome quote-ables!
DeleteExcellent -- HISHE cartoons crack me up. I used to like vampires when Angel was on, but Twilight kind of ruined them for me.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe I hadn't stumbled across them before. So awesome!
DeleteThat was too funny. I admit, I did like the books. The movies.....not so much.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you 100% of the way on that.
DeleteI never got into vampires or zombies, which probably makes me an old poop.(But that video was hilarious!)
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty awesome, right?
DeleteThis was fun! I'm absolutely in Vampires but this...Sparkles?
ReplyDelete*shudders* I know. What is that? Where has the dignity gone?
DeleteHISHE is awesome. They are so accurate sometimes. My favorite is the one on LOTR. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSorry, off point, but just saying.
Back on point, I'm not a fan of sparkly vamps per say. (My own vampy deliciousness project is a bit of a step in the other direction. And if I say so, lots more yummy, since he doesn't have to pretend to be a teenager so young I'd be jailed. Yeah I should stop typing now.) But I quite liked the series. Same way I quite like 90% of what I read, though.
I'm with you, and I totally need to get back to Youtube and watch the rest of their videos. Oh time, why must you be so fleeting?
Deletelol, so funny. I like most things that sparkle... but sparkly vamps is going a smidge too far ;)
ReplyDeleteHere's the line.
Delete_____________
Here are sparkly vamps.
(WAY over)
Being an Ann Rice fan, Twilight sort of depressed me. Loved the clip!
ReplyDeleteDon't talk. You're injured. Best line in the whole thing.
