Ok Lemmings look, I love life and I love my family, so I’d hate to have to blow my fucking brains out. So what’s another strategy for tuning out this incessant lava chicken?

Alternatively, does anyone have a time machine and enough money to convince Jack Black to not do the Minecraft movie?

    Mine has largely gotten over the lava chicken phase, and has moved on to the next incredibly annoying barely sentient compulsion.

    Last I checked it was the intro to Ducktales. Have you shown them that? It’s so ruinously catchy it may never leave your mind.

    Tell him or her that if it’s underground, it’s called magma rather than lava.

      Haha, that’s a pretty good plan for whenever he does something annoying. Just “well actually” at him until he stops.

    Unleash the Crazy Frog. Or go nuclear with playing non-stop every single kitsch 70’s romantic songs on repeat—while singing them passionately.

    It give’em an hour.

    Whenever they would start singing it, I would sing

    Cha-cha-cha-lava, La-la-la-chicken!

    back at them until they got annoyed enough that they stopped.

    🤷‍♂️

    I don’t wanna sound old here, but I finally watched that thing a couple days ago and boy did I feel my age there. Clearly I’ve lived long enough that a whole movie failed to connect with me on any level. I mean it has Jack Black in it and I adore him. I guess what I’m saying is I have no idea how to fix your kid because they’re a different people now.

    However , the classic old group defense against young slang is taking it up and enthusiastically using it wrong. So enjoy your hot poultry song.

      It is not a good movie, but my kids enjoyed it, so I got some vicarious pleasure out of the experience. I wouldn’t watch it on my own.

        Yeah same. It was our first theater experience together and we had a blast. The movie is aggressively mediocre although it does have a few moments.

        I don’t know why people dislike it so much other than the girl and her brother doing a terrible job at being relatable or authentic. I thought Jack Black and Jason Momoa did a great job and I’m not even a fan of Momoa.

      Do you play Minecraft?

      I have yet to watch it but i assume there is very little to connect with if you don’t?

      Depending on how old your kids are and if you are not already playing, playing on a local server together is great family time and can provide situations for real bonding aswell as real world educational discussions.

        It has very little to connect with even if you do play minecraft. If you watch youtubers play minecraft, on the other hand, it’s probably perfect.

        It’s basically a gen Alpha (maybe Z at a stretch) cringe comedy movie more than a minecraft movie. That’s mostly just the setting.

        Wow, you actually managed to find the other song I absolutely hate when he plays!

        Our neighbor got him started with undertale and let me tell you… He is not good at it, and man does he get angry when he dies.

        But his undertale tantrums are another story, for now let me just express how tired I am of hearing the undertake soundtrack which he plays on loop, especially megalovania!

        You know I played that game once, I thought it did some clever things, but never again… That boy has ruined it for me.

      He has a set of shark PJs, and whenever he wears them I sing [his name] shark do do do do do…

      And he immediately responds “STOOOOP DAD! PLEASE! I ALREADY TOLD YOU BEFORE!”

      And I’ll never stop doing it

      It can still be worse,

      I once overheard a group of kindergarteners continually yelling “Skibidi toilet” at repeat.

    Sink enough money into lava chicken paraphernalia for the child to instantly lose all interest in it.

      Oh my gosh, your comment made me sick.

      I mean really, who in their right mind would even consider that? Personally I can’t even imagine just wasting a perfectly good pencil. Please be a responsible adult and use a fork instead (in case you can’t fit the fork into your ear canal you might wanna widen it with a spoon first. Btw. spoons are the goto in case your ability to see is bothering you too)

          Why would you waste perfectly fine food by wiping it off with a towel? Kids in africa can surely still eat that!

          Also just in case your crossword puzzle starts talking to you: no it didn’t (they’re not actually sentient, but can still feel pain of course). And please for the love of god, don’t ask it about it’s opinion on skin colors
