Super Happy Robot YouTube Fun Hour

************************

OK…this is kinda incredible.

An hour after this posted, Swedish DORK TOWER reader Martijn van der Ven sent me a way you can actually DO this, with an example! (I’m guessing he used the the Firefox add-on Stylish).

Hi John!

I just saw your latest Dork Tower update and I loved it.

So I decided to see how it works out in practice.

You will see the comments to a random Munchkin video clip, then, “I’m a fraking moron” appended to them.

You will also see how I did it.

From now on, all the YouTube comments I will ever see will have this sentence appended to them automatically! It really makes YouTube understandable. Thanks for the tip! 😉

Kind Regards,

Martijn van der Ven

And here’s the Stylish code, or script, or whatever the kidz are calling it these days:

Frakking Script

BUT THERE’S MORE! London reader Richard George has a Greasemonkey script for this. It can be found here.

var comments;
var thisComment;

comments=document.evaluate(“//div[@class=’comment-text’]”,document,null,XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
if(comments) {
for (var i = 0; i < comments.snapshotLength; i++) {
thisComment= comments.snapshotItem(i);
comments.snapshotItem(i).innerHTML=thisComment.innerHTML+'

But then, I\’m a frakking moron.’; //break;

HOLY CATS, I love my readers. Seriously. You guys ROCK!

MUSKRAT RAMBLINGS 9.23.10 – Smells Like Beam Rifle

Muskrat Ramblings Smells like Beam Rifle posted by John Many folks have asked for the full lyrics to Igor’s song, in Monday’s comics. Well, even though this dances dangerously on Filk territory, (a) a band asked if they could play it, and (b) a reader offered me a dollar to come up with the full […]

MUSKRAT RAMBLINGS – 0.21.10 – The Munchkin Art Process

Muskrat Ramblings The Munchkin Process posted by John About a month ago, Steve Jackson Games announced the first new Munchkin core set (different than a “Munchkin Corset,” you’ll note) in three years or so: Munchkin Zombies. This is a bit different from recent Munchkin releases, inasmuch as those tend to be announced only AFTER the […]

Good lord. From 2004? THAT long ago? I guess the “Lil’ Orphan Annie” eyeballs re the give-away. I always loved this strip…so now’s a good time to pop it in the lineup again…

I have no idea why I ever did “Lil Orphan Annie Eyes.” Forgive me.

MUSKRAT RAMBLINGS – 16.9.10 – Some Nice Things You've Missed

Muskrat Ramblings Some Nice Things You’ve Missed posted by John I’m still hearing a few people tell me that some friendly local comic shop/game store clerks are claiming that Dork Tower and Dr. Blink have ceased publication for good. This is not so. It just means I need a better way of getting the word […]

MUSKRAT RAMBLINGS, Tuesday, September 14, 2010

Muskrat Ramblings It’s a Wrap posted by John Just time for a couple of quick updates, in a desperate attempt to make sure there’s SOME blog-like material. I’m on a conference call now (DON’T TELL! DON’T TELL), and I think we all realize today’s entry won’t be up for a Webby award anytime soon, so, […]
