I couldn't disagree with this theory more. All of my vids contain my heart. All of them, not just the Lord King Bad Vids. As an artist I resent the implication that nonLKBVs are created for some type of fannish acclaim. They are an expression, like anything else, including LKBVs. We all have to admit that somewhere in our hearts we lack a bit of taste and good judgement and listen to Mr. Mister.
LKBVs are us being dorks and embracing that fact. They are the reason Will Ferrell has a career. They come from that place we all have - the inner cheesiness of a vidder.
I'm not trying to distance or disdain these vids while embracing them and I am actually getting so freaking tired of this argument, you have no idea. Why the label LKBV? Cause it is FUNNY, my god! Can we not be funny at all anymore without having to freaking analyze it? I mean who cares about the larger theoretical implications of Lord King Bad Vid? It is Lord King Bad Vid!! Is anyone out there analyzing the larger theoretical implications of Three's Company and Don Knott's career? I was making these vids that were just me releasing something, they were horrible but I *liked* them (and I am disclaiming them in order to seem cool - there were HORRIBLE but likable) and Zen used the phrase Lord King Bad Vid and there ya have it. A few other people decided that this described something they do or it might be fun to do something like this and we had a good time. Now I find I am using it as a backlash to deal with the academic fen (which I find amusing indeed) or to protect ourselves from not seeming "cool." OMG WE ARE VIDDERS! We have no cool cache AT ALL. ARGGGHHHHH
