I was going to post this as a reply on the AMV minis 08 Thread but it is now closed so i have to start a new one :mad:
Is this an April fools joke? I cannot seem to download this. Can someone please upload a lower quality version to youtube? Sharing is caring. And why sin't it in the news feed and why aren't there credits? :confused:

[Mark Aged]

I think Zarxrax made everything in the newest episode, that's why there was no credits.

Also, yeah, what's going on? It should be listed under download, but it's not there, and the original post was locked. I think they wanted to edit it or something, seeing as this one was really short, so we'll properly get an updated version of it soon.

Before you complain about me rickrolling you...

There was also a credit list attached - it included a thank-you message to contributors that have been featured in past Minis episodes, and encouragement to those who hadn't passed yet.

[Zarxrax]

Yes, it's not listed under downloads because it's not the "real" episode 8 :p

[Shirker]

Aw, Zraxx, ya ruined it!

Yep, April Fool's joke, featuring a certain the Azumanga/Macintonsh clip mixed with an evil RickRolling. He did thank all the contributers at the end though, which was nice.

No, it's safe to explain now since it's not April 1st. In fact, that's the point, I thought. You do the silly thing, people experience the silly thing, and then at the end of the day (or right after you're done), you tell them it was all a joke, and that they have started April by being fools to your folly.


OBVIOUS

That's pretty crispy. In an old EGM kind of way. (See EGM's 1992 April Fool's joke involving fake screens and Sheng Long.)

What is it then?

[kapparomeo]

An April Fools' Day joke...


Honestly, that's all there was to it.

-A standard opening sequence, with a few shots from AMV Hell 1 in the multiple-television sections.
-A brief portion of the "Apple commercial" clip.
-Rick Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up"
-Thank-you message to past AMV Minis contributors.

what happened last year?

[Zarxrax]

what happened last year?
I would like to know as well, because I don't remember :|

[Doomimus]

If I recall correctly, I believe there was an anti-April Fool's joke announcing AMV Minis last year. Don't know about an actual April Fool's joke, though.
