  4. Against. Something Dumb: A Retrospective is in danger of becoming a stale VFH formula. This didn't do it for me either. -- colossal Ape (stink) (Riot Porn) 23:07, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
  5. Symbol against vote.svg Against. Starts off well and then gets bored and wants to end it all in CAPS. So not a VFH according to my Movements in Vegetable Centuries Index. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate). 21:22, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
  6. Against. Per the last retrospective article I voted against tonight. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 01:20, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
    You mean this one? Seriously, I bet you hardly read any of the article. —Sir SockySexy girls.jpg Mermaid with dolphin.jpg Tired Marilyn Monroe.jpg (talk) (stalk)Magnemite.gif Icons-flag-be.png GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 08:00, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
  7. Against.--Sycamore (Talk) 09:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
  8. Against. Was enjoying it but it totally went off the rails towards the end, I assume I'm missing an in-joke? -- El Sid, the lazy one • parlez-vous franglais? 16:39, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
  9. Against. It just doesn't convey that same snide intelligence that Fisher-Price did. Parsat (talk / contribs) 23:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Comments:
  • Anyone with suggestions on how to make this better, please let me know. I'll be happy to improve the article a little more. —Sir SockySexy girls.jpg Mermaid with dolphin.jpg Tired Marilyn Monroe.jpg (talk) (stalk)Magnemite.gif Icons-flag-be.png GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 13:27, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Abstain. So close, but it isn't there yet. Also, I'm too tired to put my reviewing hat back on ChiefjusticeDS 21:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Romartus, are you referring to the exact last line, as that is the punchline of the original article which this is a retrospective of, and therefore it's necessary... If you're referring to the IP's perspective, then I must agree. I don't really like that part, but I don't think you should vote against it because one part and not give a suggestion of what to do to fix it, though you seem to have an idea of what needs to be fixed, and I want to know what it is. And you other against voters smell like ass, so there. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 21:35, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Hey, to all against voters (other than Sid and Romartus because they actually made a point that is seems to ramble off a bit toward the end), mind elaborating a bit more on your against votes? Constructive criticism is more than welcome, guys. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 22:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
    Yeah sure. My issue is that, while doing a retrospective on a stupid piece of crap was new and fresh with Fisher Price, now it occurs every time there is a new stupid piece of crap, and thus it loses its impact. Also, the beauty of Fisher Price: A Retrospective was that it cleverly found loads of ways of playing on the words "go eat shit fuckers". I don't think you have quite achieved that. -- colossal Ape (stink) (Riot Porn) 22:36, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
    Thanks Ape. I tried to do that a bit with the "Chinese linguistics expert" section, but that alone does seem to be a bit random since the rest is actually talking about how "A wizard did it" has been used throughout history. I'll think of a way to make it a bit more consistent after an admin closes this vote (seeing as it only has 33% health). Now to get the other five against voters to elaborate a bit. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 22:41, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
    To be fair, the Fisher Price Retrospective is an almost impossible target, so any other similar article will always have to dwell in the shadow it casts. This article when viewed as a standalone is pretty funny, it really is just the end that goes downhill for me. --El Sid, the lazy one • parlez-vous franglais? 22:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
    The very last line? Wait, tell me which section begins it's descent to unfunny. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 22:50, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
    Dexter, I'm gonna give it an in-depth look over and leave some suggestions on the talk page. I might even help write if you want. -- colossal Ape (stink) (Riot Porn) 22:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
    Ape, have I mentioned that you rock (but you're nowhere Tool cause they push the boundaries like no other and stuff)? MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 22:58, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
    I was gonna make a few additional interpretations and fix up the article by tomorrow or something. But really, all help and advice is very much appreciated. The more the merrier. —Sir SockySexy girls.jpg Mermaid with dolphin.jpg Tired Marilyn Monroe.jpg (talk) (stalk)Magnemite.gif Icons-flag-be.png GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 23:02, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
