Quoth the Rocketboom, "Nevermore"

[acr08807]

Sure Phil, you're way smarter than the folks at Rocketboom. But Molly is cuter.

[princesskathryn28]

[rakatikie]

rofl ending was brilliant!

[keewa]

Loved you on Penn and Teller bullshit: conspiracy theories all those years ago, keep up the good work!

[gavinmacmounsey]

Indeed

the media can be like a drug for some weak minded people..keeping them fearful and obedient.

[cobu2002]

Astronomers are still in the dark ages. The Plasma Universe rules.

[Rhine0Cowboy]

Good one, almost had me there!

[sveatch40]

Great video, Phil.

[sematic1]

HAhahha Phil

[InfidelAvenger]

I miss the live video chat.

[TheBrassHole]

LOL!!!!!!!!! Bravo... oh ya, 5 stars too.

[ELuhn]

Thanks for clearing that up in excruciating detail. I was really worried there for a while. :|

[princessannikki]

Poe'nd! HAHA lols

[niiidar]

Jokes don't work on the internet. ESPECIALLY not when written without smilies.

[Naiant]

How come people think you can't joke on the internet, but you can joke in print or in video? Do we lose our ability to be funny those ways just because we run our products through a computer?

[niiidar]

It's hard for people to know when you're joking, and when you're not.

[ciscotie]

Hi Phil, I read both of your books, B.A. and D. from the S. and both are superb. I´m a physicist and obviously a hard skeptic. I congratulate you on this shoop pic of the space shuttle which I find myself truly fun and comic. One more 10 to B.A.

[bradreed]

good vid

[Brettah31]

HAHAHAH! this video was brilliant!

infinite regress of trolling?!?!?!

[jarnoverhoofstad]

Speed talkin' Plait, anyone should read his books too; they're great!

[SirMildredPierce]

Poe'nd

[BitchesAndHose]

HAHA!

[shanedk]

Or, wait, Phil--are you being satirical in your complaint about them being satirical about your being satirical? Or maybe I'm just being satirical about you being satirical about them being satirical about you being satirical! Or maybe...

Arrgh!!! Poe's Law infinite regression!

[head explodes]

[YellowNumberFive]

I'm pretty sure this sort of infinite satirical regression is what will form the singularity that will finally swallow the whole universe. Thank a lot Phil.

[mistermuffin420]

fuck you harry!

[VierasMarius]

Dude, you got Poe'nd!

I am so sorry... I couldn't resist.

[apopheniacMCMLXXXIX]

LOL! Epic. :D

[TehChangster]

LOL dude i would've never think of that until i saw ur comment XD

[darkpheonix262]

phil your awesome, you should vlog more often

DFTBA - dont forget to be awesome

[unaka2012]

I saw the rocketboom bit. I remembered you post when she began talking about it. I wasn't sure if the got the "Poe" or not at the time.

Now I think maybe they did, but were being snarky as if they didn't. Rocketboom can be pretty quircky that way.

And when did the host get younger??

[TrueBlueAustralian]

i cant believe you listened to rocketboom...

[healthyaddict]

<3 Phil - Oh my can't wait til' TAM. ^_^

[Jayreuts3]

cool t-shirt

[hanzo138]

I really want to see you have a special appearance on the 'Big Bang Theory'. That would make my friggin' day.

[bennihana123]

I want a TV show with you.

[Salladsdressing]

I want your Q&A videos back! I reaaally miss them!

You should really try and put together something like the COSMOS series that Carl Sagan did because you are a master at making space sound interesting!

Best regards / Karl

[jwwetzel]

hahaha awesome

[Tube799]

Jesusophile nailed me on Poe's Law. For a little while. Honestly, only for the tiniest, minutest moment of a while...

[Worstplayer]

Yeah, he got me too.

[Tube799]

Thank (god) goodness it wasn't only me!

[scratched86]

It's been a while since I read your original "fake nasa image" post, but I definitely didn't think it was a satire.

I guess I've fallen victim to Poe's law. Usually I'm good at catching these things, too.

oh well...

[dave28lax]

Oopsie doopsie...Poe FTW

[klunckmonkey]

WIN

[homicidalsausage]

How much coffee did you have before this? ;)

[sharpezor]

The other pwoplw where the poes law, but only if they where aware of your trend in skepticism, if not, they just didn't know. So both are true.

Quantum Poe.

[Harekiet]

This man needs to reduce his caffeine intake!

[Newitt888]

Yeah, satire is almost always lost on people in this country.

[dently]

Then Edward Current's videos would fall under this Poe's law. Lots of people think he's serious.

[Revyloution]

Love ya Phil.

Poes law is amazingly accurate. It makes me wonder if those fundies who are so easily mocked recognize that only silly beliefs are so easily Poe'd.

Example, I have never seen anyone that disbelieved evolution describe it accurately. Same goes for Big Bang cosmology, if they try to satirize, they just show their blatant lack of education.

[muckerfooker]

I'm sooo glad I found your channel

Always great posts!!!!

[Fjarhultian]

Ah. Nathan, not Edgar.

[arsenelupin123]

Awesome hahahahaha

[WhatIAm99]

Plait for president!

[doctornappy]

WOOOOOOOOOOP!!! YEAH :D

[widicamdotnet]

... he *is* the president already ;-)

[NoadiArt]

Did you breath at all while making this?

If you haven't passed out from lack of oxygen I want you to know: You rock!

[NAMLegolas]

We need more bad astronomy videos :3

[FlashFizz]

It's nice to see TheHill88 gainfully employed...I think.

[CognosSquare]

Phils the man. Related tidbit. Caitlin the cute blonde presenter at Rocketboom has a RAVEN-tattoo on her arm.

[dante2428]

You can probably check how many visitors from Rocketboom read your next post, like me :)

PS: Joanne would have double-checked.

[cobu2002]

Allright Dr. Phil, I challenge you to prove my work is wrong because you can't. I just wonder if you have the guts to stand up to a REAL challenge. Fred Gangstad

[alien8ted]

PMSL, that 'plasma universe' bullshit is self-pwning!

[cobu2002]

owning?

[Worstplayer]

Antimatter space donuts? Another fine example of Poe's law.

[cobu2002]

cool! at least you understand the basics. It's hard to put into words for someone else without knowing them.

[Mjhavok]

Not watched Rocketboom since Amanda left. What happened to that other girl, Joanne?

[Josh111485]

Awesome Dr. Plait! You're one of my favorite skeptics!

[williamcardno]

This put a smile on my face after a very long month. Thank you Phil. :D

[choochooguy63601]

Oh phew cos i thought u were a bit nasty but u were joking so yay! :) i luv ur vids!

[remyworldpeace]

Phil is AWESOME :)

[saintaureus]

Good work, Dr. Phil!

[Tritium8]

hehehe

I'm spinnnnnning ;)

[Nashy119]

Who cares, they suggested that the photoshop the Air Force 1 photo that scared people a little while ago. But they probably want to avoid this.

[jsmxwll]

Lol, nice close!

[Woad25]

Wait...was an episode of Soap about to come on or something??

[Saukko31]

LOL. I could not tell, whether or not the RocketBoom was satirical... so confusing.

[qpwnsall]

Anyone who think nasa fakes their launches isn't even worth debating.

[Repoes]

o_O

[ReverendFlatus]

Now I'm really confused.
