Man, I've heard this one as “I blessed the rains down in Ravnica”

Saying Aafrica twice messes with the pacing/delivery to me. Maybe it should just say “I blessed the rains.”

Or change the set up "Have you forgotten what happened in Kenya?"

So by changing the set up to say Kenya, rather than Africa you obfuscate the punchline somewhat.

True, and you might set up for a bonus DEEZ NUTS joke, as well

Only in Kenya.

I swear if this is a rickroll

Okay, it's not a rickroll, it's pretty swell actually

...and from a single meme we see the great divide between Gen X/Millenials and Gen Z. Poor Toto!

Poor guy. Hope he finds his way back to Kansas.

There'll be peace when he is done.

Millenial here. I genuinely like the Weezer version better. I like the heavier guitar and I'm not a huge fan of the way the synth was implemented in the original.

new plot hook for my vampire the masquerade game featuring the celetial chorus from the mage the ascension series.

making dad jokes? you better believe that's a pa-ladin.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Okay yep a paladin named Pa that tells dad jokes is now on my character list

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Pronounce it like Aladdin

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago (7 children)

Why are they calling it Aafrica? Or is that just part of the other typos / spelling errors?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

D&D campaign changing the names of real places to keep the fantasy setting?

You arrive in a new town where everyone thinks they're in charge, and they each use a funny accent to assert themselves. The sign at the front gate reads "Welcome to Bosston"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

I assumed because Africa doesn't exist on Toril.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Anyone else read that as Jackie Daytona?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

It's a reference to Toto's song "Africa", and in the line "I bless the rains down in Africa" the "A" gets extended a lot.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

This is likely because in the song from which this meme is riffing of of, Africa is sung with an elongated “a” like “aaaafrica”

Edit: Africa by Toto, 1:20 seconds in

That'd be pronounced like Ehfrika

Dammit, Āfrica?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They did it twice so it seems intentional. Beats me though.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

I didn't even see the second one fully, as it was behind an icon. Thanks for spotting that one for me
