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?
Go out for a pack of cigarettes, start over.
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.
Yeah but DuckTales is quality. So that’s fine.
Yep. He immediately dialed into it because Gravity Falls is an old favourite, and these shows share a good bit of DNA. I just like to hear Danny Pudi.
Start singing it with them. Do it sincerely. You’ll either kill their joy or you two will have a moment.
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.
Unleash…the Sandstorm!
Depending on how cool you are maybe if you start singing it they’ll stop
that’s what they™ want you to do
Right!
Nice try son.

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.
🤷♂️
that may be even harder than tuning it out
About 3 days. 🤷♂️ Edit: for clarity, I haven’t heard this song in a long while now, those 3-ish days were right after they saw it.
Every dad can decide their own ROI for this. 🤣
THAT’S NOT HOW IT GOES, DAD!
… Oh? It doesn’t?
I do live for those moments…
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.
His uncle took him to see the movie (a real bullet dodged for me).
I saw the honest trailer for it and decided it was exactly as much of the movie as I needed to see.
Record it from all angles at all opportunities and play the video at their wedding. Until then, sustain yourself on the antici

pation.
That is some damn fine dadding right there. I think this is a perfect plan.
See if they like “Yellow Submarine” and switch over to the Beatles?
since the kid presumably likes games and/or memes i would suggest starting with this beatle classic https://youtu.be/dJ1KaspORsE
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.
I mean it’s not Baby Shark?
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.
La la la lava!
Ch ch ch chicken!
Steve’s Lava Chicken, yeah it’s tasty as hell
Interrupt by yelling “CHICKEN JOCKEY” every few bars.
I’m not sure that’s really gonna make the situation better though…
You deafen yourself with a sharp pencil. Only way.
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)
Who’s wasting it? Just wipe it off with a paper towel and you can use it on your crossword!
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
