favorite Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor moment?

[EpcotServo]

Travis...It has two E tics, one fancy D tic, a now no longer nightly nighttime show. It's newest draw is AI.:lol: It's classics are getting REALLY old. It's going the way of the EPCOT Center. I love MGM as much as anyone else, but it definitely needs something big. Maybe we are getting it, who knows.

I'm tryin' to see it, but not with that attitude.
:lol:

MGM has everything it needs right now. (Though more is always welcome! Even Idol. :lol: Studios is like a big, happy Family. Even Crazy Uncle Sounds Dangerous. :lookaroun )

See Studios isn't like EPCOT, an elaborate Display best left preserved in time for Future Generations, Entertainment, Inspiration, and Education. EPCOT is more like the Smithsonian. MGM is a City. Now you can pass through a City and duly note it's individual attributes and be on your way, and see it as lacking. But then your doing MGM the EPCOT way, or the KINGDOM way. MGM is a city. It's alive, it's moving, it gets it's thrills from the daily comings and goings, the changes, the showmanship of the Entertainment and Cast Members. So you can either turn Studios into a List like above, or you can be an EXPLORER. Sit in Muppets Courtyard for a few minutes. Instead of running to Tower, walk to tower and take note of what the Citizens of Hollywood are doing today, or how the trees look this month. Talk to the Cast Members at Star Tours, or shop at the smaller stores. EPCOT is a Monument, STUDIOS is a small town, small in size, but big in heart and detail.

Take the time to do that Evan, and you might just feel a little better about the "other" two parks.
:lol: :wave:

Yay, I'm not alone and I haven't seen that one yet.


Heh Heh, sorry ^^; I've just noticed that every time I bring up any new attraction I like *with the exception of perhaps Everest* Everyone else seems to hate it :shrug: Usually because it replaced something old that they liked which I can totally understand but if this board has done anything to me, it's made me real sick of the word "Classic" :lol:

:lookaroun

Apparently, liking Everest isn't good either... :lol:


j/k


I enjoy the laugh floor. The jokes get stale after a while, but the audience interaction can be priceless! I'll put up with the stale stuff for a good laugh at an audience member's expense ANY day! :lol:

I've been pegged to buy churros once, but still aspire to be "That Guy"!

The "Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow" is The Smithsonian"?

I thought the whole concept was to showcase technologies of the future, not be a mausoleum, er..... museum?

Well said. I'm definitely taking that into consideration.


I'm more of a museum person though.

:lol:

It's a metaphor!:lol:


EPCOT is a ever changing updating museum dedicated to informing, entertaining and inspiring it's guests on World Culture and the spirit of Discovery and Futurism. Museum's change out their exhibits, don't they? So does EPCOT.

My favorite moment was on Oct. 13, 2007. I was at Monsters Inc with some friends who I met durning my CP. I texted in the joke "why was Cinderella bad at sports?... because she ran away from the ball! :ROFLOL:haha". I thought I would never get picked. Well during the show, one of the monsters talks to this little girl dressed as Aurora named Heather. the monster said "I have a joke for you about a princess from another girl named Heather from N.Y." I screamed and waved my arms up in the air, and the monster said "oh well there is Heather now" and I was just so excited that when I left the show I called my mother.

:lol:

S'alright.

I'm getting enough grief as it is from my CRAZY idea that guests like Expedition Everest.

Fav moment in the show: When Buddy Boil gets tongue-tied and can't keep the show going because my 5 year old won't stop waving his giant Mickey hands in front of my wife's face on the big screen.

Fav TLF joke: Hearing wdwmagic posters who chime in about how the show is a failure, good for walking by on way to COP, exiting is the best, etc.

These must be the same people who complain about TLF being stale. (Oh wait, TLF is the only attraction in the MK that isn't the same every time you experience it.) But it's stale. Uh-huh.

TLF, and other creative attractions that engage the audience and allow them to have (gasp) a good time, will never be enjoyed by the lovers who can only enjoy a Disney attraction when they can slowly meander by in an omnimover and ponder the majesty of the spectacle with an erudite expression of awe on their face as a tiny tear trickles down the corner of their eye.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but if every attraction were that way, you'd have ... never mind, I won't say it.

RE Timekeeper: I remember from 2000 it being fun and well done, but I don't remember any specifics of the show. I do remember different specifics from each of my 3 trips on TLF.

I have never been That Guy either, but I have had "the urge to get up and dance" (Children screamed, women wept, grown men passed out)

I would have to say the audience really makes or breaks the show. 9 times out of 10 it is a good show. When you get a bunch of people who like to sit on their hands and gripe, when then nothing is going to save it.

[hwdelien]

I've always enjoyed the show. I've never been on the screen (I would probably die:zipit. Yes, I miss the timekeeper, sure. But it's not like they took out the timekeeper for a meet and greet like they did with 20k.

In my defence [being the poster that used the term "stale"]:

I like the show and go every time I'm there! All I meant was that some of the jokes that don't involve the audience and don't change get stale after a while... They're still a part of an overall good show and I certainly wouldn't avoid the show as a result.Of course, I could never get tired of Roz: "I'm watching... Always watching." :lol:

I was actually referring to those who consider the whole attraction stale, so no defense necessary. But by the same token, Ellen's jokes get stale, so do Short's, Judi Dench's, JC captains, the Ghost Host's - any attraction that has a recurring joke or gag is going to be stale to some degree after the first viewing.

Here Here :sohappy: Like I said before, I can totally understand missing an old favorite, but I think people put down the Laugh Floor a little too hard. Especially since despite it's constantly being packed, people regard it as a "failure." hmmm.... :animwink: I heard someone a while back say they thought it didn't maintain "Disney magic" but the way I seem it, if parents and children having fun while laughing and interacting with their favorite Disney movie characters ISN'T Disney magic, then I really don't know what is.
I think when all is said and done, it's mostly a generation gap than anything else. Whatever is big in this generation, the previous generation automatically hates simply because it's not what they grew up on.

Why must she have jokes...?:dazzle::dazzle::fork::fork:

 

[EvilQueen81]

Yeah, I'm not one for the spot light so I worried the entire time I would be center of attention. So I wouldn't do the show again....

I understand thats why I won't do it either

I agree completely. I enjoy MLF for what it is, an interactive show. It is a pretty good attraction that, in my opinion, is on par with what it replaced.

Also in my opinion, the "it's in the wrong land/park" arguement is a load. It's fairly simple: extra dimensional travel to convert sound waves to energy. I'm not sure, but I don't think they do that at the corner store yet. The "wrong land/park" arguement is hollow at best.

It is also saddening me that almost every thread is turned negative recently. Although there is not much positive to report, rather innoculous threads are becoming places for folks to rant.
