This is an incredibly funny anime take on those classic "Real Men of Genius" radio commercials. Vic Mignogna(one of my favorite voice actors; he played Edward Elric in FMA) was the one who came up with these, and he also did the background singing. There are four, but I can only post three here because the fourth has to do with yaoi. But anyway, enjoy!(but non-anime fans, as well as those who have never gone to a convention, may not understand them)

And just for fun, I also came up with my own:
Today, we salute you, Mr. or Mrs. Clueless Otaku Parent.
(Mr. or Mrs. Clueless Otaku Parent!)
Anime, manga, otaku, kawaii, yaoi, bishounen... None of these words have any meaning to you whatsoever. As your child sits mindlessly in front of the computer watching fansubs, you walk by wondering what -san, -sama, -kun, and -chan could possibly mean.
(Is that in our dictionary?)
You think you have the right idea by going to a convention in one of those "cosplays" you've heard so much about, but God forbid the character wasn't created by somebody from Japan, you'll be the laughing stock of an entire otaku community.
(Oh, the humiliation!)
Your creative little future manga artist is right to not ask for your constructive criticism, because they can read your idea of "advice" like a book. "The eyes are too shiny," or "the hair is too spiky" you would say. But with the pseudo anime out there that America has to offer, like Teen Titans and Avatar: The Last Airbender, who wouldn't be confused by the bright and bold style that can now be seen everywhere?
(Yeah!)
So take a vow, and pick up volume one of Fullmetal Alchemist while you're at it, Frustrater of the Fans. It doesn't matter if you can't understand Japanese, because we'll honor you in good old English.
(Mr. or Mrs. Clueless Otaku Parent!)
