The "Viki Original" you haven't seen yet

Just wanted to take some artistic license/licence here to thank subjects of the tiny lady in the shiny hat (dear soul not doing well I understand) for bringing some light and originality to one of Her Majesty’s former colonies in this year’s “off-year” elections.

Virginia, where I grew up, now has a new governor who is (like many of my Scotch-Irish pioneer ancestors) 6’7" tall. And it has a lieutenant governor who is Jamaican by birth AND an ex-US Marine.

I especially want to thank my friends and relations in the United States’ largest unincorporated territory for being part of the crew that has made me one happy ex-resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Are gifs easy to make? The answer is yes.

Unmesh-ji seems like a trustworthy sort of fellow.

Have fun!

This is also the type of thing we can contribute to the sea of memes. People know how to use Photoshop, GIMP, other graphic manipulation software.

Again I say, original, creative, kickass. Right here. Proven for several months now by everybody. Just another thought.

If anyone is going to try this, don’t create it as a WebP, Discussions doesn’t allow uploads in WebP format.

Meanwhile, lovers of more modern skies, when trying to support the very entertainment products that Viki relies on to sustain its budget . . .

Are not allowed to do so.

I think that this is is Disoc-butt talking with his/her/its/their but certainly not OUR posterior.

I understand that “like farming” or the deliberate skewing of “ratings” is frowned upon by all kinds of websites who deoend on accurate customer use/review/whatevs kinds of stats to prep budgets, reward sales personnel, order more of X from a vendor, etc.

However, as usual, this makes no sense whatsoever.

It’s Viki unoriginality that I have seen in a variety of formats.

Should I post a review of Jirisan (which is turning out to be an EXCEPTIONAL choice to stream on Viki) that says . .

“Everything sucks about this drama, including the drama, Viki, the subbers, the Viki community, and people who are just 'stopping in” to see what’s going on."

Hmmm???

That wouldn’t work either, now would it?

Does that dame on the left have a cigar clamped in her teeth? Now that’s what I call thinking “outside the cigar box” for sure!

it’s kinda reasonable, though… if I had my way, I’d sit tapping that heart button with all my might for hours on end because I really really love some of the subbing teams here. I could singlehandedly raise obscure drama teams like The Bond’s to first place on the “Most Loved Subbing Team” charts! :joy:

I want to see Dali and the Cocky Prince so badly, but yet they have not released it yet on Viki.
The show could be seen in Subtitle Apply Area. Also, I want to see Vincenzo being in viki, I would watch it again, because with other commenters during viki, I enjoy watching the show very much

There are several threads related to shows that people want to see on Viki. There are also several threads related to problems people are having with shows that are currently on Viki.

This thread is not one of them.

If you look under the discussion categories of “TV and Movies” and “K-dramas,” you will probably find discussion threads that can address your current interests and concerns.

I am glad you said it @entwyfhasbeenfound, but after thinking why @meonmyown would keep posting about shows she hasn’t seen, and want to see, in this thread, I think meonmyown misunderstand the title of this thread, and keeps reading it as a question, instead of a declaration. I hope she understands now :rofl:

Then so I want to see Jirisan, Yumi’s Cells and many more. Sorry I misunderstood the topic.

Apology accepted!
@meonmyown, those are not shows we want to see, they were only used as references to make a point.

You can “cut” a chunk of plain text, apparently from anywhere, and paste it into the box on the left side of the web page. The “fontified” version of the plain text then appears in the box on the right side of the page.

The fonts are limited. I know there are other similar websites. Definitely a tool worth investigating.

WHAT??? What if some Viki worker bees used LingoJam to create a translator that came up with non-lame pre-subs?

Would that mean less time spent scr–, er, talking to my desktop computer as I bang my hea–, er, rest my head gently on my desk and sigh?

Here’s a meme I think is kind of funny. Don’t know what kind of visual would work or what kind of font. Any suggestions?

If Elton John were Korean, what Italian restaurant would he eat at?
Hakuna Fritatta

Or is that so much of an inside joke that NOBODY would get it?

Talk about originality! Here’s the basis for a C-drama that would probably never make it to Viki because it would be absolutely fascinating and terribly controversial.

And it would require a Historical Hottie to age rapidly, wear a fat suit, and spend a lot of screen time slaughtering men, women, and children.

But wow.

I love it when I can learn about the origins of stuff.

And ever since the 1980s (when I met a number of Chinese students “sheltering in place” at the University of Rochester in New York during a troubled time), I have had a “thing” for the Terracotta Army.

The incredible history of China’s terracotta warriors - Megan Campisi and Pen-Pen Chen–Ted-Ed

“In 1974, farmers digging a well near their small village stumbled upon one of the most important finds in archaeological history–vast underground chambers surrounding a Chinese emperor’s tomb that contained more than 8,000 life-size clay soldiers ready for battle. Megan Campisi and Pen-Pen Chen share the fascinating history of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.”
