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?

Depending on how cool you are maybe if you start singing it they'll stop

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'S NOT HOW IT GOES, DAD!

Go out for a pack of cigarettes, start over.

Make it inhumanely cringe. Start calling everything lava chicken as a replacement for "cool", make lame ass Minecraft dad jokes at every opportunity, yell chicken jockey out the window to summon your spawn in public.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

That wouldn't be very lava chicken of you to do, to ruin a phrase like that.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 2 weeks ago

Record it from all angles at all opportunities and play the video at their wedding. Until then, sustain yourself on the antici

spoilerpation.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

That is some damn fine dadding right there. I think this is a perfect plan.

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.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

Yeah but DuckTales is quality. So that's fine.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

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.

We might solve a mysteryyy... 😀

Or rewrite history! 😬

I might also humbly suggest the theme to TaleSpin, that one's a beaut ☺️

Start singing it with them. Do it sincerely. You'll either kill their joy or you two will have a moment.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Or find a song they hate to constantly sing. Maybe some old person music like Hoobastank.

I have had this exact issue with that frozen music. You are essentially done. Years later i still recall that music.

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.

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.

Tell him or her that if it's underground, it's called magma rather than lava.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

Haha, that's a pretty good plan for whenever he does something annoying. Just "well actually" at him until he stops.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

See if they like "Yellow Submarine" and switch over to the Beatles?

Start singing baby shark song, or what did the fox say. Expand his ~~repetuar~~ repertoire.

Sink enough money into lava chicken paraphernalia for the child to instantly lose all interest in it.

It can still be worse,

I once overheard a group of kindergarteners continually yelling “Skibidi toilet” at repeat.

Tom Cardy, one of the best musical comedians of our age. He has many songs with extremely catchy lines that are actually funny while also being tolerable to hear many times over. There is a definite need for a language warning if you are not good with swearing, but his Lord of the Rings one is amazing.

Get back at them by singing Peaches from the Mario Bros movie. You know, Jack Black and all that.

My 4yo loves the whole soundtrack. my wife and I just sing along with him

I just showed him hakuna matata and we're singing that too.

You deafen yourself with a sharp pencil. Only way.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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)
