Ask Palpatine 14 - Making Time For You

[DarthRushy]

I am Emperor Palpatine. Today's question is: Why do you never call yourself Darth Sidious, Pal?

[CaptainYogurt1]

"Uh, I have a lot of AIDS, from all over the galaxy..."

0:59

[ndnsoldierboy]

Cylons...*lol* A whole other show...you really do rule the galaxy...what about Vulcans? Are they on your staff?

[JaspynR]

Ewoks are wookies?

[quillaja]

goooood. you've got it. yeeeesss....

[DarthChocolate15]

No executions in your daily reutine?

[thorneosgard]

Daddy doesn't function without his needle work LOL this has to be the funniest qoute of the whole series.

[gallileotheguineapig]

You know,Palpatine does not veiw himself is evil.He beliefs that if he has full and total control,he can guide the Empire in the right direction,making a better republic by controlling its aspects

[LucasEimert]

jock asshole

[destronia123]

Awesome funny stuff. Your puppet could serve as a great host for a show along the lines of MST3000.

Thanks for posting!

[TehAfroMan]

HAHA YOU HAVE AIDS!

[Cubemario]

Love these videos, good quality. I also love how palpatine makes time for me.

[jprimex]

The thing I dislike about typing, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

[jimmyThePiep]

Serious: That's why sometimes I like to preface my comments with a tone of voice. It lets the reader know how to read it. If I am being really sarcasctic I'll use Caps.

Informative: A hitman robot named HK47 does this; I am sort-of copying his style.

[jprimex]

That comment was a reply to someone else's, there's something wrong with something and, it sometimes doesn't go under the original comment.

[jimmyThePiep]

Yes; and my comment was a reply to your comment about the inability to express sarcasm in text. (Note; I was giving you advice, not someone else.)

Anyway, if you're on the 'View All Comments' page, the comments are arranged chronologically.

[jprimex]

....

[DWLullaby]

Contemplative: If you were being sarcastic about this the whole time, then I, as perfect of an assassin that I am, would be unable to tell your true meaning.

Conclusion: If I were to kill all meatbags there would be no need for tone distinction.

[metrocurle]

Too long winded

[mrhogg]

I agree. A three-word comment? Who's going to sit through that?

[bibblebob2008]

WTF

[Duffman20007]

Wookiee = eeikow

Ewok = kowe

Wookie backwords does not equal Ewok. Idiot...

[Duffman20007]

Correction:

Wookiee = eeikoow

[Jedimasterjon1]

[feeneynick]

[wreath99]

hahaha funny

[Samurai4Jesus]

You must have alot of time on your hands... You not only made quite a few videos, but you have time to respond to every critic.

[mrhogg]

I type very fast.

[mastermakerman]

that was funny as hell!

[smokeheroin696]

ya fuck u mr hogg this aint shit millions of people go out everday and create shit better than this. Your yust a lazy fuckin loser who cant get a job so u make this inbetween constantly beating off to porn.

[hitmanz09]

fuck u palpetine

[mrhogg]

Why?

[BunnyHawk7]

lol awsome battle star galitcica joke!

[sith4life]

ewok is not wookie backwards

[mrhogg]

I know it's not literally wookie backwards, but it is phonetically.

[ArchieAA]

No it's not dude.

[mrhogg]

In interviews, Lucas himself said he was originally going to have Return of the Jedi take place on Kashyyyk. But then he put Chewbacca in the first one, and he didn't want to have them go to the Wookie planet, so he flipped the name around and made them a lot shorter.

wookie ewok

Yes, I realize that directly it would be Eikoow backwards, but it's "flipped." Geez.

[ArchieAA]

No it's not, I don't think you understand what phonetically means... If Chewie was a Kooowie instead of a Wookie I could understand what your saying, but he's not, ewok is neither phonetically wookie backwards nor is it ewok "flipped"

[mrhogg]

The position of the "e" was flipped.

[WackyWildCard]

Your Evilness...You manage your time...well! Also what a cheerfully sinister rendition of the "Coconuts Song"!

[TheCarinEffect42]

Isn't paplpatine an STD? One of the messier ones, as I recall.

[sith4life]

wow.... no.....

[sith4life]

wow.... no.....

[dafrca]

Ok, this was too funny.

[Blackroachs]

wtf

[xkjvnxjknk]

holy crap that was creepy.

O_o

[skaterboy456745]

This is a cool show

[Brickchurch]

wtf

[bankai105]

wtf........

[moraldecay7]

i do a much better palpatine imression...

[mrhogg]

Good for you.

I'm actually doing something with MY impression.

[moraldecay7]

yeah youtube is quite the accomplishment.

what makes you so sure i'm not doing anything with mine?

[ArchieAA]

lulz its a palpatine impressionist fight. Only on the internets

[mrhogg]

Not an impression-fight, no; just me take a moment to critique an inane comment. :)

[moraldecay7]

you're the internet...

[mrhogg]

The show is elsewhere, too. And it's the show, the puppet, and the content that are the accomplishment, not the impression. And anyway, I'm not going for a movie-accurate quote; the voice, like the character, is meant to be a goofy, fun take on the character, and so doing the exact voice is unnecessary.

What makes me sure you're not doing anything with it? Nothing makes me *sure*, but if you were, you'd have probably reference it, since you felt the need to tell me about your impression.

[moraldecay7]

i guess i just don't see how it's that much of an accomplishment. i didn't really think it was that funny.

and where else is the show?

[mrhogg]

Well, saying that you don't think it's funny is something else altogether. And might I humbly suggest that taking the time and effort to build a puppet, write clever responses to well over fifteen questions, perform the puppet, record the performances, and edit them -- and don't forget the singing! -- is something of an accomplishment, one that most people won't do.

(That's not to say you can't think it isn't funny; of course you can)

And he'll soon be on TV. Sucker!

[moraldecay7]

i can't imagine making that puppet was that much work. and the lines aren't that clever.

recording and editing isn't that big of a deal. i know, because it's my job.

and TV can go ahead and perform fellatio on me.

[mrhogg]

Making a good puppet is a lot of work. Sounds like you've not done it, which is cool, as most people haven't done it, so there's no frame of reference. But trust me, it's a lot of work if you take the time to do it right.

Editing is your job? Cool, if true, but don't forget what an accomplishment it is just because you do it every day.

Fellatio, huh? You're quite a charmer.

[mrhogg]

And you certainly are taking advantage of the ability Youtube offers you to be an anonymous teenage douchebag with these needlessly hyper-critical comments. Kudos to you, sir.

[moraldecay7]

i wouldn't say im being hyper-critical.

and you took the chance of being criticized when you went out and created something.

and by putting it on youtube, you should've realized there would be lots of anonymous teenage douchebags.

quite being such a baby.

[mrhogg]

I'm not being a baby, and I didn't for a moment think I wouldn't get responses of all stripes. That doesn't mean I can't respond to them, or point out how valueless some of them are.

I'm all for criticism -- you grow when you open yourself to criticism -- but your comment wasn't a criticism. You were just being a bit of a dick. Who cares if you do a better Palpatine, if that's even true? What does that say about the video, or your experience of watching it? Absolutely nothing.

[moraldecay7]

i wasn't being a dick, all i did was say i do a better palpatine. i didn't even really expect you to read it.

and what it says about the video is that i do a better palpatine. what it says about my experience of watching the video is that i do a better palpatine.

[redblueshinobi]

Go for it buddy. Make your puppet and put on the show.

[mrhogg]

Thank you, sir.

[DSmoothMike]

How did you make this puppet? This was actually pretty good

[mrhogg]

Thanks! He was made with foam, and covered with antron fleece. Then I made his cloak out of some nice, black, cloaky-fabric.

[Dollarbob]

is your name justin?

[mrhogg]

Who? Me? The voice of Palpatine?

[RadicalNotion]

yeah

[mrhogg]

If you're asking if Palpatine is voiced by a guy named Justin, then, no.

If you're asking if RadicalNotion is justin, I've no idea.

[wildmonkeyuy]

that was retarted

[lj198496]

i cant see it!5555~~~~

[Griffis1969]

Look at the door, the wall and the baseboard heater.....was this made in a cell on death row???

[mrhogg]

It feels like it, some days.

[DenisLD]

"Good" - the best part =)))

[mrhogg]

Why don't you tell us what you really think?

[teemuruskeepaa]

No you failed as a person ;)

[animeboy777]

He said he has a lot of aids

[mrhogg]

No, a lot of aides.

[notyrockon]

weirdo

[teemuruskeepaa]

wimp

[MerkavahmkIV]

Hilarious!

[nonorelation]

wat r cylons?

[teemuruskeepaa]

You have a good script. That's about it.

[mrhogg]

Also a nice puppet, and good puppeteering skills.

[RadicalNotion]

this is just a blatant rip-off of Ask a ninja. why do people who do impressions like this...act like they are the first ones, and only ones to do it. sorry pal, but everyone does jack sparrow, kramer, nicholson...we just have shame and do it in private or to make a joke with close friends in an appropriate moment where it is called for. give it up!!! do something original!!!

[mikeward12]

Amen, nothing new here, just standard, dry, and far too easy humor...it's just boring

[mrhogg]

Well, gosh, you sure showed me. I'll stop making the show because your wise, insightful comments have shown me the error of my ways.

Obviously it's like Ask a Ninja. I make no bones about that; I describe the show as "Ask a Ninja but with a puppet Emperor Palpatine." I make no claims that I'm the first person to do a form with this particular structure.

[mrhogg]

And it's not like Ask a Ninja is strikingly original, either. They have a pretty unvarying structure (and Palpatine has more stuff each episode; does the Ninja sing? No, sir, the Ninja does not sing), and really, only one joke. Palpatine has more than one.

(I enjoy Ask a Ninja, and know the creators, but I also am under no illusions about what the show is)

Aside from the general "Talking to crazy fictional characters" schtick that's everywhere, Ask a Ninja is CLEARLY based HEAVILY

[mrhogg]

on the Strong Bad email segment from Homstar Runner.

[Whiteoutdeath]

doesnt palpatine have a british accent?

[mikeward12]

of course....but Americanism is taking over the "original" English

[mrhogg]

In his "human" mode, he has an accent, sure, but in his evil Sith lord mode? He just has the raspy voice, really. Not something you could really call British.

[Penguinz13989]

lol :O ... sorta creepy though

[poetsespresso]

Bad jokes, so bad they're funny.

[mrhogg]

Hunh. I'd like to think they're funny because they're good.

[gretabigolfatass]

Yall was all fooled I coud tell tha ain't nuthin but som bodys han an it were him talkin

[wrath231]

All these dust bunnies are now an enemy of the Republic!

[Ev4sIoN]

The wookiee thing was awesome

[samiola9]

hahahahaha ... thank you so much

[marat2020]

??????????

[jprimex]

Really? You can't see that wookie backwards is eikoow? This guy fails, don't listen to anything he says.

[jprimex]

This is stupid, only twelve seconds, and I find it horrible. Star Wars is awesome, this... there is no word to describe how aweful this is.

[mrhogg]

Only twelve seconds? The video's five minutes long.

And when you say aweful, do you mean to say that it fills you with awe? Or is that just a typo?

[jprimex]

Typo of course, why would I insult the video, then say it is in my awe?

You make no sense.

[swizzcheez34]

Ewok = Kowe =/= Wookie

:<

[Rahentho]

Haha, man, you're overusing the word "anyway"!!!

[mrhogg]

I didn't know there was a limit.

[Rahentho]

Anyways, there aren't none...

[JustJ0hnny]

cool vid Palpatine!!

[mrhogg]

Thanks!

[WISDOMPRODUCTI0NS]

faggots

[Gold3n3y3]

Nerd Alert: Originally, Return of the Jedi was susposed to be set on the wookie homeworld, Kashyyyk. It was later changed to the cuter homeworld of the Ewoks. And just to be picky, Wookie backwards is Eikoow, not Ewok. Adversely, Ewok backswards is Kowe. Just thought i'd throw that out there.

Please dont kill me!

[mrhogg]

Welllllllll ....

Technically speaking, when Lucas had all three movies in a single script, there was the Kashyyyk bit, but when he broke it up, he gave Solo Chewbacca as a co-pilot, so he had to change which planet Return happened on. And so he just flipped the name, essentially, and cut them off at the knees.

[Gold3n3y3]

Thank you for sparing my life, mighty one! *bows and grovels*

[Spytrxter]

and there I was thinking you were clever using one of your clones to do this... what a waste of resources tztztz

[gallileotheguineapig]

What was your mentor like and what does Vader do with his spare time?Can he survive in a vacuum,or can his suit not protect it.And could you tell me of Sith history

[jc79990]

Thank u for the very satisfying answer miLord. That was great XD

J.C.

[goldenpizza]

luv it.

[banananumber1]

You are the ruler of the galaxy! I would love to pick up those dust bunnies for you! Question: Why would you keep ewoks as servants/helpers but at the same time eat them? I hope they aren't cooks for you, because that would be cruel.

[FilmMonkeyX]

What happened to the background?

[lordvader6169]

Good, now I know what you do every day. that could make a man grouchy, angry, upset on some days. Could that be the reason y some people got the impression that you are evil?

[mrhogg]

People just don't understand the pressures I face, lordvader6169. They just don't understand.
