Well I was hoping his question wasn't so obvious, but you're probably right...

Because purple is awesome, and Smoke is awesome. But pink is awesomer.

In a screwed up early palette swap attempt, one of the first "reject ninjas" I created was a pink unmasked human male ninja.

It looks quite...oh, what's the word?

Smoke39 · « **Reply #29 on:** January 08, 2007, 01:48:40 PM »

That's a lame shade of pink.

That's the stuff!

Very nice, Pap. However, you forgot the best part.

Let me show you them.

I don't find that joke funny. Is there a back story that will improve it or did it just originate from nerds who aren't pokemon fans attempting to mock nerds who are pokemon fans?

vudu · « **Reply #34 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:08:33 AM »

The original picture's hilarious; in fact, I'm going to print it out and hang it in my office.

The joke originated from here.

It is one big inside joke, but considering that there are banners based on Funhouse jokes I figured why not.

And vudu, I know that I didn't put in the rest of the joke. I had trouble trying to fit the picture into the allowed size and still show the joke.

I might work around with it later, but I am glad you enjoyed it.

I was looking to see if my Mortal Kombat ninjas one was accepted. I refreshed a bunch. I saw four OTHER Mortal Kombat ones (I didn't realize it was that popular here) as well as SEVERAL Pyramid Head ones. Boy, we have a twisted bunch here.

Pyramid Heads AND Full House? WTF.

It's probably easier to just go here and poke your nose around. It'll save you from hitting the refresh button over and over again.

Those mostly came from the Create the best Pyramid Head banner and become a Funhouse mod contest Ty had last year.

Just saw the new background...

This just makes my banner pointless...

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #39 on:** January 10, 2007, 02:49:28 PM »

Actually, it matches the theme perfectly now.

Pale · « **Reply #40 on:** January 11, 2007, 01:23:46 AM »

Uhmm, I've seen that joke all over this internets. I don't think Bill started it.

And I still don't understand really... other than the nerds mocking nerds thing.

JonLeung · « **Reply #41 on:** January 11, 2007, 01:29:29 AM »

Are the cats' expressions not funny enough?

I'm a Pokémon nerd and I can enjoy a little ribbing about Pokémon (or POKEMANS!) when it's presented in a humourous way involving felines.

Oh, well, I'm sure everyone has things that they find funny that others don't and vice-versa.

Pale is an android.

I'm with Pale here. I just.. don't get it.

vudu · « **Reply #44 on:** January 11, 2007, 05:41:33 AM »

If it were just the picture and the text of "let me show you my Pokemans" it wouldn't really be funny. However, when you add in the black boarder and the text "MY POKEMANS let me show you them" it turns into a laugh riot.

Even a week later I still think it's hilarious.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #45 on:** January 11, 2007, 06:14:22 AM »

The picture and the lines are priceless, but what made the picture REALLY funny for me was SB's take on it.

When he showed me the picture, he actually did the voice of the cat playing the GBA. It was so accurate I couldn't help but die of laughter when I saw it. It became the joke of the week during his visit.

I even exploded with laughter when he used the joke in Twilight Princess!

Caliban · « **Reply #46 on:** January 11, 2007, 02:31:04 PM »

IceCold is an android too.

segagamer12 · « **Reply #47 on:** January 11, 2007, 02:58:15 PM »

I thought it was hilarious, but I dont like pokemon so its funnier for me.

Don't you use .PNGs? They're better than .GIFs... .PNGs can be smaller than .GIFs (especially when run through an optimizer like PNGGauntlet) and can have 16 million colours and no stupid compression artifacts like .JPGs do. The only advantages .GIFs have are that they can be animated and that people with ancient browsers can view them - but nowadays everyone can view .PNGs.

My site, VGMaps.com, uses .PNGs whenever possible. You don't want to have to deal with more bandwidth than necessary, so an image-intensive site like mine wouldn't settle for anything less. PNGGauntlet is incredible, compressing some .PNGs to half the original size - but many .PNGs are already smaller than other filetypes.

If you want, I can convert the Mortal Kombat Ninja palette parade banner to a .GIF, but .PNGs are still better!

segagamer12 · « **Reply #49 on:** January 12, 2007, 02:29:56 PM »

I create all my banners in paint. They are all .jpg not even .gif.

I use Yahoo Webhosting and they are the major suck when it comes to what file types you can upload. I have started using a file uploading program but I forget what its called.

I would LOVE to host that banner on my website and link it to yours if you'd like. I am preparing to expand into other areas so Ill have an antire section devoted entirely to Mortal Kombat stuff.
