We had a clip from Weird Al Yankovic about grammar (Word Crimes). Now we have a video about punctuation from another comedy group, Lonely Island.
[WARNING: There's some NSFW language in the video above].

I'm glad I watched it through to the end. That was hilarious!

Ha ha. Me too. I was very confused.

And a very clever topic heading, BC. I see what you did there.

For those of you who are confused, Lonely Island is parodying a style of rap called "hashtag rap".

Quote:What the hell is "hashtag rap" anyway? It appears in many incarnations, but there are three main ingredients: a metaphor, a pause, and a one-word punchline, often placed at the end of a rhyme. Let's look at some examples: "You're the type to get wet [pause] -- diapers."

I was amused but irritated for almost the entire video; they were using semicolons incorrectly! Oh, and by the way, I once had a fantasy football team called the Fighting Semicolons.
