Hyatt's Law

There are certain rules that become self-evident... Murphy's Law, Moore's Law, the whole "internet conversations degenerating down to the point where someone brings up Hitler" law...

Let's call this new one I'm proposing Hyatt's Law.

Here it is:

"It is impossible for anyone to make a parody of "Trapped in the Closet" that is funnier on purpose than R. Kelly is unintentionally."

If you don't know what R Kelly's Trapped in the Closet is, count yourself lucky. The first "hip-hopra"/urban opera is soooooo amazingly bad. It's as though anything that could unintentionally be funny is, and every episode doubles the amount of over-the-top serious that still manages to produce laughter... and I don't think anyone brings up Hitler, but still...

It's just plain bad.

Here's the Original. If bad language, bad acting or bad production values offend you, stay far, far, far away from this link! (And if you don't want to waste an hour of your life watching this whole thing... just check out episode 8 and then episode 9... it's where the midget comes in. Yeah. I said midget. Some bad language, but man... R Kelly singing with that faux southern drawl...)

You'd think MadTV could come up with a parady that's funnier on purpose than R Kelly was accidentally?
Nope. (again- if you are easily offended, don't watch that...)

South Park? Almost, but not quite... (Do I even have to warn you about a South Park link???)

Jimmy Kimmel? Nope.

You'd think that WEIRD AL would be able to come up with something... anything that might be just a little funnier by design than R Kelly was by accident. No, even Weird Al has let us down.

So let me state it here for all of posterity: "It is impossible for anyone to make a parody of "Trapped in the Closet" that is funnier on purpose than R. Kelly is unintentionally."- Hyatt's Law.

"See Bridget rhymes with midget."

"He looks at the cabinet!
He walks to the cabinet!
Gets close to the cabinet!
He's openin' the cabinet!..."

See what I did right there? That's another one of those cliff hangers.

I'm not reading your blog in the morning before work anymore. That piece of crap was stuck in my head all day. Many mistakes ensued as I tried everything I could to shake it, to no avail. Thanks. :)

I had never seen how it finished... and now I wish i hadn't!

I have to agree... nothing can be as funny... don't even try...

Weird Al should have just rereleased the original and said it can't be outdone!

OK now I have to go to my kitchen and look under the sink... to see it there is a midget in the kitchen...

(NEVER CALL A LITTLE PERSON A MIDGET, it is like the "n" word to them...)

Blessings,
