Talk:Furmanism

This is awesome. In a "so bad it's good" sort of way. --DrSpengler 23:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

This is obviously an incomplete list. I also have some that were only repeated once, sometimes in differing forms, which I won't add to the page proper until we find at least one more iteration. If you can find more of any of these, feel free to add them.

Here's my remainder:

WHOLE WORLD OF PAIN

• "Get ready, quite literally... for a whole WORLD of pain!" -- Starscream, G2 #11
• "It's about PAIN, Megatron... here's a whole WORLD of it!" -- Starscream, TWWv1 #3

LIKE SOME PREDATORY BIRD

• "I now believe a SECOND menace exists, one that hovers like some predatory bird at the edge of my consciousness." --Optimus Prime, G2 #4
• "Ahead, hovering like some vast, predatory bird on the fringes of Fahl Space... the Decepticon flagship, Twilight--" Narration, G2 #7

I'm waaaay too comfortable lying on my couch here to go upstairs and find the book and check, but I want to say Swoop did the whole "better to die than run" shtick when the Dinobots were fighting the demons in #76...? - Chris McFeely 23:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Indeed! Good memory. Hold on... --ItsWalky 23:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Call me humorless if you wish-

Normally, I love the humor here. I like that we don't always take everything seriously. However, I think this article is taking things a little far. Boo to this section, basically. Boo-urns, in fact. It feels like it's trashing Furman for no good reason. And I've never heard ANYONE say- "Hey, a similar bit of dialogue in a Simon Furman comic! Must be a Furmanism!"

And, seriously,you don't think some of it is intentional (particularly issue 67)?

I just don't see how this has a place here. --DJ Convoy

...I saw it as a celebration of Furmanisms, actually. -Derik 17:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Pretty much. Furman is my main man. --ItsWalky 18:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure there's gotta be more IT NEVER ENDSes than the three I got, right? --KilMichaelMcC 09:56, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, uh, I wasn't counting the IT NEVER ENDSes on purpose, because Furman does those on purpose, as an intentional self-referential running-gag to his original G1 send-off letter. I don't think it really belongs in this article, as such. --ItsWalky 17:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, being a cartoon-centric guy I didn't actually know what the original source of it was. It still strikes me as qualifying as a "Furmanism" though, albeit with a note in the article about it's origin and nature. --KilMichaelMcC 17:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd never called them Furmanisms before now either, but I do now. As for disrespect... Well, I think a Transfan has to kinda be a Furman fan by definition really. --82.41.82.183 22:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
