It's from a series of parodies of the "'I'm an Apple'...'and I'm a PC"" ads.

Instead of Apple and PC computers taking potshots at each other, it's Marvel and DC superheroes.

Ah, right...makes sense now.

Ta for the explanation :up:

I quite like these: Robot Chicken

I really am a DC, but Marvel seems to make the better movies. I didn't really get into those...thought they were a little on the low side.

Yeah, I'm elite, I'm effete, I'm indiscrete.

Hey! I just found out I've misunderstood the meaning of 'effete' all these years. Unfortunately I still fit the description.

Don't know much about comics and characters (I know rorschach from Watchmen but that's about it) but that was pretty damn hilarious. Especially the start of the sitcom tune. :haha:

Who called you Shirley? I surely would have noticed that.
But his whole youtube channel is hilarious indeed. "It was either that or Hammertime. Good call." :haha:

Not all of them are as funny as the best ones, but I'm enjoying the heck out of watching them. Each one seems to have a least one little moment that makes me LOL.

Also, I guess Ryan Reynolds is playing the Green Lantern... I thought it was him in the trailer, and then I thought, no, he's Deadpool, that must be somebody else. But apparently it was him after all.

I loved that Marvel, DC series and the follow up, "Marvel and DC After Hours". It's a shame that right at the big cliff hanger that it fizzled out and the story never got completed. Good stuff while it lasted.

Oh. And I'm a Marvel fan. Everything in life was taught to me by Spider Man back in the 1970's.

Well I've always been a Marvel, not that I never liked DC but I always preferred the Marvel superheros over the DC ones. More light-hearted perhaps? I have trouble with 'serious' superhero movies.

Well, you see, there's my problem. I was raised on the original George Reeves Adventures of Superman TV show, and I was reading comics years before Marvel brought out their superhero line, which was the early '60s. I also wasn't much of a fan of Steve Ditko's or Jack Kirby's art, preferring Curt Swan's style which I considered more 'realistic' but probably just what I was used to. All that said, Marvel pretty much invented character development in the comics, and Stan Lee & Co. pretty much set a new standard for the industry. But I was already settled in my ways, and I've never bothered to change.

Well that's it isn't it.... when I was a nipper it was all Marvel, DC was the little brother. Spiderman was all the rage and Batman had yet to become 'cool'.

It seems der Fuehrer has some rather strong feelings about the DC comic reboot....
