Yeah, too bad we grow corn here in Iowa. Corn and pigs. If you want potatoes, you best get to Idaho.

It's not quite there yet, but overall it was better than most of the ZP impersonation-videos.

Ho! Was that a sarcy comment or a genuine statement?

No kidding. If the whole world's potato supply was gone tomorrow, replacement plants could probably be cloned from your DNA.
Hey, potatoes got a-peel! *bah-dum-tish!*
.....I am ashamed.

No sarcasm at all. There is corn, soybean and pig in Iowa.
More Potatoes in Florida than here.
If you all want to see some bitching corn mazes, I recommend visiting either Cedar Rapids or Des Moines.

I mean, we all complain about Natalie Portman's awful accent in "V for Vendetta" but Hugh Laurie's American accent (which is pretty bad) is universally celebrated?
I can't hold making this against the kid. He didn't make it for us. He made it as a way of keeping himself awake while doing his homework.
That said, I'm a little unsettled by it. The simple nature of the ZP videos (photoshop, moviemaker, not technically impressive feats) means it's a style that just about anyone has the capacity to imitate. There's no reason why someone else couldn't have made them, except they lacked the imagination.
Now people, looking at what Yahtzee managed to do with a few tools and a lot of cleverness, instead of taking that as inspiration to be more creative with what THEY have, are instead just doing the same exact thing he's done. And it's an outlet yes, but it's also limiting. Someone else has done that already, and yes it's brilliant, but why don't you DO SOMETHING NEW? Who knows, maybe your thing will be better?

Where did he say that? You know this guy?
I can't deside if Television Without Pity's "Week Without Pity" is a ZP knock-off or not. On one hand, it's snarky commentary over funny pictures, but Television Without Pity has ALWAYS been snark and the zingers are coming from a ironically sunny gay as opposed to a reliably sullen Brit. No characatures or backgrounds either.

Nah I just emailed him on Youtube to find out the answer, and deliver some fanmail at the same time

Who? What? Where?
Let me guess, am I supposed to be some member who got bored of his old account and decided to start another one, on this same forum?
