Who is Coppy?

In 2015, Coppy, a quirky animated copy machine office assistant, made its debut on Tumblr as an April Fool's Day prank, playfully mocking Microsoft Office's mascot, Clippy. Tumblr users embraced the character with open arms, generating a wave of Coppy-inspired fan art and expressing disappointment when it vanished from the platform the very next day.

In honor of one of our most beloved character we created this vinyl YouTooz character. You can learn more about it below.

holy shit fucking iconic. idec that this is an ad, this marketing strategy is working on me

i like that line too, but i think my favorite strong bad quote is probably “i told marzipan you were a fruit and she asked if you were organic” from sbemail #210 where he finally gets together with homestar

Oh yeah that’s a classic

(Incidentally, another word of praise for your username – “Shrine Vandal” gets 4,650 Google results, yet “Shrine” and “Vandal” each get more than 5,000, and “Shrine and Vandal” gets “about 15,000 results”)

thank you frank!!! my username is a reference to a they might be giants song called “valentine”, have you heard it? it’s specifically from the line “more damned than some vandals in a shrine”. glad you like it :)

I have not! I tend to just listen to (and search YouTube for) TMBG titles alphabetically, so it will be some time before I get to that one.

wow, that’s super impressive though! tmbg has over a thousand songs, so going through them alphabetically must be tough. what letter are you on?

I started with the alphabetical tracklist of Flood and have been working my way backward, so I’m around the end of the “L"s.

flood’s a great album! there’s a reason it’s their most famous one, and the one most people start with. i personally would recommend john henry next, it’s possibly my favorite one. but it’s hard to choose a favorite album when they’re all so great

Makes sense. I’ve heard some of the album and will continue soon (after I am done with the Flood tracklist).

One of the reasons I haven’t given up on TMBG and I don’t think I ever will (unlike with Weird Al) is that their music is such a perfect match for my mind in many ways. It’s stuffed full of little references to scientific or cultural concepts (even to the point that it’s a little annoying at times), and its lyrics sound like the sort of jokes I make (and that other people make at me), but in a way that people liking can’t hold against me.

I get the sense that these songs were written for me. They’re about nerdy people who love to talk, obsess over strange details, and generally use their minds in strange ways. They think about the lyrics of songs. They have science-related names, like Boing and Crushed. They have their own subculture and lingo (I always thought it was cool how the spaceship of Flansburgh and Linnell’s son [in “Snowballs at the North Pole”] is referred to simply as “the mothership” – too much stuff like this gets on my nerves, but here it just seems perfect).

The songs themselves are clever and quirky and “too much for kids” in a way I can’t really explain. Something that helps is that in addition to thinking about things for their own sake, they’re playful with language itself. They make references that no one outside the TMBG subculture is likely to get, and then they do get some of them (whoever the “Xiang Yun” of “Winter’s Tooth” is, TMBG know who she is), so it’s like a joke with no punchline. They make fun of politicians by making up fake quotes and then having the names of those people be anagrams of words relating to the real things those politicians believe. They are all the people who ever made fun of their schoolmates in this way, only they are doing it for themselves. They are geeks. They are just the kind of people who talk like this.

I don’t have the energy right now to be able to talk about why this is so important to me, but it is.

C-TA SWEEP BABY LET'S GOOOOO

Sora's so wonderful and sweet and I love him bc he always tries to make everyone feel better EVERYONE KNOWS THAT but no one acknowledges how he definitely at least partially does it for himself because his synesthesia.

Like Akira's comment about why Sora "can't see" Gatekeeper was "Rather than [he can't] it's probably closer to [he doesn't want] . Gatekeeper is surrounded by blood and violence which are the colors that Sora probably doesn't want understand"

So like if I were Sora I'd want everyone to be happy n good too because if they aren't I gotta experience the horrors? Someone in my vicinity is fucked up and now I have to see the goddamn Hat Man?? Liiike...

And of course this isn't even mentioning how Sora was a shut-in and had no friends until highschool, obviously that plays a role too.

natsume voice: of course, only a real pathetic sadboy could lose the @pathetic-sadboy-contest in round one....
