asdfjkl; I haven't seen any of these subbed yet! I did not even know there were subs ;; MUST GO WATCH NOW

[beckerbell]

I have been SO PLEASED with this fandom lately! All the VSA fansubs! I love that show SO MUCH and getting semi-regular subs for it has been utterly wonderful. Same for getting recent Shukudai-kun subs! a;sldkfjasl;kj I love this fandom!

Has someone totaled up everyone's scores on Falling Pipe and averaged them out yet? .

OH GOD DAMN YOU. :(
(Lol, okay, so it won't take nearly as long as the smack tally is -still- taking me, and it'll be fun to do this, if no one else says they have, that is, but still. I'm going to pretend to be angry, haha.)

Okay, going back to read the rest of the post now.

[beckerbell]

HEY, I MADE POSTS ABOUT ARASHI KISSING EACH OTHER AND I TOTALED UP THE MMA WINS/LOSSES FOR KODOMO NO BANGOHAN. OTHER PEOPLE NEED TO START PULLING THEIR WEIGHT AROUND HERE.

(Th...though, I was kind of considering doing it myself it someone else hadn't yet. >_>)

I really, really love you a lot for the smack tally, by the way. And kind of FEAR YOU for undertaking such a crazy project. XDDDD

[anonymous]

AHAHAHA. The things this fandom does to us.

Sorry to ruin your fun, love, but I did it already. :D
Jun: 104
Ohno: 83
Nino: 60
Aiba: 51
Sho: 36

I've slowed down quite a bit on the smack tally, but I'm still in the middle of Nama Arashi, which is just... Okay, so Nino and Jun were sort of looking like they might carry on an even race til the end, and then this show came along and HOLY CRAP MATSUMOTO. He is, like, laying down smackdowns left and right. I don't have my tally sheet with me right now, so no exact figures, but at this point I'm convinced that he's going to win (and, more specifically Jun > Ohno is going to win). Not that this is unexpected, but Nino was certainly giving him a run for his money for a while. I-I am still wishing that Aiba will come from behind as the dark horse in the competition and own them all, but lol, I don't think it's going to happen at this point. I still think Jun <> Aiba wins for most creative forms of abuse, though, hahaha. The videos will certainly be fun to make. ♥

[beckerbell]

TELL ME ABOUT IT. orz

*curious* Do you have the exact numbers? How many times they've each played, how much their scores were in a given episode? It'd be interesting to see how often someone consistently scored versus someone like Jun, who can miss sometimes, but when he scores, he tends to score hugely.

AHAHAHAHAHA, was it really ever in contest that Jun would probably win the smack contest? Though, I'm also totally curious about Sho, because I can't hardly remember him smacking anyone or even getting smacked! I totally bet that Aiba gets the most smacks to the head, though, doesn't he? XDDDD

Waii~~

Welcome back~~~

XDDDDD Glad you have started to catch up with Arashi again cos they have been dishing out all the good quality crack over the past few weeks XDDDD

I am so in love with Arashi no Shukudai-kun right now <3

*giggles away XD*

[beckerbell]

Thank you! ♥ I finally have a little bit of freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom so back to Arashi, I've gone. XD

I picked a terrible time to be too busy to really keep up with them, I know, but! It means SO MUCH AWESOME STUFF now that I have more time!

a;lskdjfalskj I've only just started on Shukudai-kun, but it's kind of amazing how awesome the show STILL is, even after all these episodes!

♥!

[lafapoi]

Shukudai-kun is like fine wine, only gets better with time~ *snorts* <3

Ouh, you should watch the 2nd 'No Money Special' of Shukudai-kun, there's a lot AibaxJun and Snarky!NinoxAiba moments to last you for a while(not that they have been any real lack of these interactions lately XD)

[lafapoi]

FAIL! >.< sorry, Arashi turned me into an incoherent mess just now.

*flails along*

[beckerbell]

*waves hand* Don't worry about it! Arashi turning people into an incoherent mess is always a good excuse. XD

[beckerbell]

That kind of really, really is true. XDDD Not that I don't love the older Shukudai-kun episodes, but I do find that in general I like it more as it goes on. Though, that's true for pretty much any show of theirs! (Though, I do miss both D no Arashi and G no Arashi.)

......y-you're a horrible temptress. ...........which episodes are those? >_>

[beckerbell]

I love Nino a whole lot, you know half of the reason he kept saying it was because it would make Jun twitch over it. And making Jun twitch like that is fun, okay. :| But I love the staff more than I can express that they totally ratted him out for it.

I was wondering if they made them make up their own stuff, which would be really hard and kind of designed to make them look stupid! And unfair, because it's not like the newspeople don't get scripts for everyone! But, in that case, I still defend Aiba's intelligence because, seriously. I doubt I could have done half as well on the spot, either. :|

[beckerbell]

Well, they don't just toss the people into the deep end without a life jacket, whether it's all scripted (even if it's their own opinions or whatever) or what have you, like they did here and the point about being funny still stands, too. Because it wouldn't have been all that interesting if Aiba and Suzanne hadn't looked like idiots, which is like what you said, it's why Aiba's such a great guy to have on variety shows. Nino and Jun could probably have bluffed their way out of it (though, I think Jun might have cracked up during it, he's not that good at doing serious-face for more than a brief amount of time, unless he's acting-acting, because, I think, he knows that he actually can be a scary bastard when he puts his serious face on), but I don't think this was actually a fair representation of Aiba's intelligence.

I'm slowly making my way through the subbed first stuff, but then I think I'll probably tackle... hmm, either VSA raws or Shukudai-kun raws, I haven't decided yet. XD
