Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

[[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]] is YouTube Poop/Video [[tennis]] match that took place on the YouChew forums between November 12 and December 27, 2008. Dubbed by Emperor Ing as "The Lord of the Tennis", the entire match was themed strictly around material from adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's ''The Hobbit'' and ''The Lord of the Rings'' series of books, and included material such as ''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring''(2001), ''The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers''(2002), Ralph Bakshi's ''The Lord of the Rings''(1978) and the Rankin-Bass adaptions of ''The Hobbit''(1977) and ''The Return of the King''(1980).

This was the second match played by Emperor Ing to be given an unofficial title, and follows a rough and loose silly storyline of "Frodo and Sass" attempting to take the "Gimli, Son of Gloin"(later turned into "the Gloimly") to "Momo", running afoul of "ManSaru" and other unpleasant characters along the way. On Emperor Ing's side, this results in a match driven very heavily by its added footage, with responses to the previous round appearing at interstitials throughout, as was the trademark of Ing's earlier tennis style. He observed during this match ~~that~~ "I have noticed that all but one of my Tennis matches have a story behind them. In that I put the time to make a highly unnavigable story into my videos over the course of a tennis match."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/152.html#post-1093593</ref> To further the match's theming, many posts made by Ing in reference to ~~the match~~ directly lifted and pastiche'd the dialogue from the sources used in question, specifically the live-action trilogy of films.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/32710-the-lord-of-the-tennis-emperor-ing-vs-thehappyfungus/1.html#post-1037426</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/32710-the-lord-of-the-tennis-emperor-ing-vs-thehappyfungus/1.html#post-1058328</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/144.html#post-1025752</ref>

It was the 4th complete match to be played by Emperor Ing and the 20th complete match to be played by theHappyFungus, as well as her third to last complete match entirely; theHappyFungus would become significantly more inactive over the following year and only make any signifigant tennis contributions during the [[Tennis Season]].
