Russ Attempts a “Pants-on-Head Retarded” Usage

Ever since we encountered the the Zero Punctuation review of Halo 3 every one of my friends has agreed that our new ultimate goal in life is to be able to slip the phrase “pants-on-head retarded” into casual conversation as if it belonged there. It’s a fantastic phrase! So evocative, so terse, so derisive! Even without the little stick figure with his shorts on his head, you immediately grasp the seriousness of the situation. Russ has made a public effort, including the iPhone zealots as the target audience. Doesn’t quite flow right, but maybe I have an overcritical eye, tainted by my own inability to slip the phrase in without getting caught. Does it work? I’m just not sure it works without the accent… it might need to be delivered spoken.

    I saw the reference on a Zero-Punctuation shirt without knowing where it came from. Just used it in casual conversation 2 minutes ago (it just kind of flowed out by accident) and had my co-workers laughing. The key is to use it around people who haven’t seen the review.
