I find some other weebl's stuff funnier, but Amazing Horse is still funny. Have you seen the video that goes with it (not the RB preview)?

Yes. It wasn't funny just kind of... there.

fyi:

Also, first person to FC the expert Pro Keys chart on No Holy Man, I will buy pizza for. Seriously. Find a chain that'll deliver to your house that takes internet orders, and I will hook you up for being a f***ing badass rawk gawd.

fyi:

Well now I need to look that up.

It goes a little somethin' like this.

You need to watch Amazing Horse with the official video. The song itself is fun enough, but the animation is fantastic. It makes me wish I could make a horse keyboard player in RB for this song, though.

It looks possible until about 4 and a half minutes in.

I have. I guess I just don't get it.

Time to dissect the frog a little.

Most of Weebl's stuff, and especially the popular stuff, falls under absurdist comedy, but with at least one (sometimes many) other factors. For Badger Badger, it's all timing. Each part goes on just long enough to almost get annoying before it suddenly (and amusingly) changes. Kenya is a really good mix of wordplay ("Kenya believe it?"), visual humor (Snoreway, the giraffe being eaten), and overall premise (a rather low-fi tourism song).

Amazing Horse is just one big dirty joke. It's an absurd dirty joke, because it's Weebl, but it's just a dirty joke. The verse punchlines are both (absurd) genitalia references, and it goes without saying that the 'lemonade' is not lemonade. The parts that aren't dirty (the universe size, turning into a plane) are just absurd.

So if you don't find dirty humor funny, of course you won't really get Amazing Horse. It's catchy because the music is catchy and the verse opening is memorable, so as a pop-style song it's good. But as a novelty piece it pretty much is relegated to that one sense of humor.
