Oh, I didn't realise it was referencing something. Guess that kills my (admittedly unimpressive) attempt to get in on the joke.

I'm sure everyone is just as shocked by this post as I am.

The first couple of Sword of Truth books are fairly standard cheesy fantasy novels. Some weird scenes here and there but generally fine for what they are. It's not till later that it starts feeling like the author screaming his politics directly at you.

This is 100% untrue. The first book is the only one I ever read, and at least twice in the first book alone some noble farmer delivers an eloquent speech about how what he has created is his and only his to some nobles, who literally cackle about raising taxes. Then he is stoic and executed.

That's not even getting in to the less political stuff, like how the quickest way the author knows to identify a bad character is to make them gay. And also a pedophile, because those are the same thing.

Which is weird. I know all these lovely fantasy novels all kind of blend together in my head, but I could swear there was a lot of weird child sexualization stuff that was treated as totally ok in these books, so you'd think he'd make the villains staunchly anti-kidfucking or something.

Jesus Christ dude it's the song Barney sings with the last line replaced by the words "Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3."

It rhymes. It was funny. But then you showed up. I need a drink.

If you easily recognize the theme from Barney or the Teletubbies, your problems are more profound than I can help you with.

I'm pretty sure any person who was a child when Barney was popular can easily recognize the Barney theme song. I'm confused, do you not remember things from your childhood?

I grew up before Barney, but back in the 90s there were a TON of talk shows that did long segments on the show, and they almost all lead in with the theme, and then that song, and the hosts talking about how wonderful and accepting it is, etc.


You would have had to have gone excessively out of your way to never have heard it in the 90s. Which, to me, implies you were too young to remember them.

Sorry if I dont know the barney song

In my defense Im not even american, so I dont think I never really heard it

i distinctly remember how i learned of barney. kids at my school would use watching barney as an insult(because its a kids show, you see). i legitimately didnt know who barney was or why it would be something to make fun of. the people claiming others watched barney clearly knew what it was. i think i had to ask one of them what they were talking about and they kindly explained it to me. thanks, clandestine barney watcher!

I'm almost positive the earliest episodes of Barney didn't use that song, but instead they all held hands and did some kind of weird chant that banished Barney back into his toy form.
