Something really weird happens when you get real loud with it. Highly recommend everyone try screaming it as loud as you can at least a couple of times.

Goons are bad at using the ninja turtle thing too. Only the last two syllables go on the bottom row.

yeah I spent 5 entire minutes trying to figure out the autoformatting and gave up. In any case:

Teen||age Mu||tant Nin||ja Tur||tles: 8 syllables
Sis||sy Hyp||no Porn Ad||dic||tion: 8 syllables

I don't see the problem here. Are people pronouncing words in some weird monosyllable and wrong way

counting syllables isn't enough, you also need to account for whether a syllable is stressed or not, which works in this case but is often where goons go wrong.

It's non-iambic. The opposite of that. Trochic?

The image layout is incorrect. The meter is two syllable chunks and to achieve this you need to rearrange porn addiction to porn addiction.

This is incredibly basic, incredibly important stuff.

If you haven't already read it, I strongly recommend Lewis Carroll's Hiawatha parody, which starts with an introduction in trochaic meter all about how easy it is to rattle off trochaic verse
