Meet The Muntstones - Christchurch Earthquake

[bigbenlorax]

FYI Liquefaction is a process. The mud has undergone liquefaction. It is not liquefaction. Little factoid for ya.

[DualShooter]

munt the unmuntable

[torrance1999]

Manic Tuesday!!!!!!!

[Quakeboy01]

SO FUNNY !!!!!!!!' if had liquefaction on my feet

[LifeRiskLimited]

What a crack up! I love it.

[yumciaomcndogg]

It's ture

[gtrnwhat]

That was gay.

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@gtrnwhat You need to get out more

[theShacklet0n]

What the heck is illicit007 on about re Gerry Brownlee? So refreshing to see a politician who doesn't ponce about issuing namby pamby statements.

[illicit007]

Gerry Brownlee used to "teach" us at high school... before he got into politics and got famous. I say "teach" because he sat in his office and slacked off talking on the phone every single lesson for like three years I went to school there. Biggest slack arse teacher ever. Imagine how good a "politician" he must be then aye.  twat.

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@illicit007 Hahaha! No comment! (That's a politician's answer)

[chrisinus1]

Absolutely hysterical and SO true!!!! It's exactly how we all feel - all of our families in a city with no CBD, liquifaction everywhere and constant shaking!!! The best video on Youtube!!!!

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@chrisinus1 Thanks!

[yumciaomcndogg]

@chrisinus1 your so right

[mumisawesome]

such a cool video ! its good to see that bright/funny side of things :)

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@mumisawesome Glad you like it!

[01greekman]

Just sent it to close up. Absolutely brilliant cant stop laughing. Nic .Chch

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@01greekman Wow! Thanks!

[nzjosh100]

Liquefaction is a process not the result. When you say "blah blah liquefaction on their feet" Its like saying "compaction of soil particles resulting in the movement of water towards the surface, bringing with it silt sized particles.... on their feet" But other than that cool vid

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@nzjosh100 I know. Annoying isn't it?! Hahaha!

[rubberduck1234567]

@nzjosh100

Technically you are correct, but people whining about this are going to have to give up soon. The word 'liquefaction' has entered common usage with a different meaning, and it's just a matter of time before the new meaning is going to have to be entered into the dictionaries - at least in NZ.

It's a good word, and I'm not going to stop using it to refer to this bloody silt/mud/whatever! Nobody seems to be able to give it a better name, so 'liquefaction' covers it pretty well.

[nzjosh100]

@rubberduck1234567 I don't believe so. I think there should be a better reason to change the meaning of a word other than ignorance.

[snootmunk]

I like it - being in the boggy East its good to try and have a laugh!!!!

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@snootmunk Hang in there. Bumpy evening last night wasn't it?

[snootmunk]

@MisterBarneyRubble bumpys right!!! Haha - gotta laugh or we'd all go crazy.........oh wait........maybe its too late!!! hehe

[div8digital]

great video, your children are very lucky to have parents who can keep smiling during challenging times. Good luck with everything.

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@div8digital If only my daughter always saw it that way!

[Gobe1kenobi]

I love how there are so many talented people out there. Well done

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@Gobe1kenobi Thanks!

[n0cturnalsoldier]

well i can see this from 2 diifferent ways! as a person that was in the cbd when the quake hit.. i find it to be disrespectful taking the piss out of it because so many people died BUT at the same time i look at the funny side of everything and cant stop laughing at this hahaha good work mate

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@n0cturnalsoldier Thanks for your comments. It's a truly horrific time none of us will ever forget. Some of those lost were known to me, but I personally would like to look back and remember how we all kept our sense of humour and just got on with things for the sake of our children who will help to grow Christchurch into the future. I also like to think some of those no longer with us wouldn't want it any other way here in their and our beautiful city.

[Kiwifrank]

Every so often, we need a bit of a laugh to take our mind of things. I see "Meet The Muntstones" as a bit of lightheartedness. But humour being a very personal thing, some folk may take it the wrong way - especially if your place has been hit by the new shocks, just recently, and your grounds are covered (again) in liquifaction.

I think this is meant in a respectful way, though. And if anything, it's serves to remind us that Christchurch still needs our help...

Kia kaha, guys!!

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@Kiwifrank Thanks for your comments. My own home was "red stickered" in Februrary and I have no idea whether they plan to repair, rebuild or demolish. The temporary accommodation I have my family in has been compromised somewhat by the recent aftershocks. I think the number of positive comments and "likes" here show that many here in Christchurch share my own sense of humour coping mechanism.

[timmccullough1]

I'm actually glad that somebody managed to see a lighter side of it. Good work.

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@timmccullough1 Thanks!

[HaL0addict001]

disrespectful but at the same time very funny and very true...liked

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@HaL0addict001 I mean no disrespect!

[HaL0addict001]

@MisterBarneyRubble hey is funny tho

[KiwiFirefly]

LOL - great lyrics... so very true

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@KiwiFirefly Thanks! I wrote it thinking how much the Flintstones would feel at home here with all the rubble

[KiwiFirefly]

@MisterBarneyRubble Ahaha yes indeed. Perhaps we should do a costumed version of the video - I can just imagine the little feet underneath a cardboard 'red bus' =P

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@KiwiFirefly Great idea! Do it!!

[SammyJay2008]

GEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEEYYYYYYY

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@SammyJay2008 Louder! He's not hearing us

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@figgy196 Thank you for your efforts! Can't believe it got a mention on National Radio!

[bigtimekwi]

haha nice work :D

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@bigtimekwi Thank you! Love your name

[93gtir]

What the fuck is this bullshit? It gave me sore ears

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@93gtir Thanks! You are entitled to your opinion. I like how your videos show everyone just how talented and intelligent you are

[93gtir]

@MisterBarneyRubble A contradicting comment don't your think?

[54cheesy]

what about contacting TeamReynolds see how they are placed? Are there other creative people out there wtching this who might want to get involved?

[54cheesy]

It's great, I also loved the very creative Fraction Liquefaction by TeamReynolds. Shouldn't all this great talent be harnessed for a winter quake show, imagine this live to a background of quake scenes/

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@54cheesy Great idea! Let's make it happen

[stonehartfloydfan]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGG!!!! Gerry!!!!

Cool vid... but I am very very over the quakes here.. man its a hell of a mess.

[MisterBarneyRubble]

@stonehartfloydfan Yeah this weather doesn't help. Hang in there. Thanks for commenting

[MegaJooney]
