Welcome! Many peeps on here have been confused as to what the Hall of Blame (HOB) stands for & who belongs to the HOB.

I decided to create this thread to educate inquiring minds.


THE MEMBERS

In many ways, the heart, soul, & conscience of the HOB. He was HOB before the HOB even existed. A legend in his own right.

The most controversial member who isn't afraid to confront you & tell you how much of an idiot you are when you're wrong.

The non-conformist who marches to the beat of his own drum & is so anti-establishment that he refuses to acknowledge his membership status to the HOB.

TROR

The cocky, young hotshot who shoots first & asks questions later. He isn't afraid to make enemies & be called a troll for his oppositional viewpoints.

Well the HOB are traditionalists to a fault. Fueled by love of quality, most everything New is bad and most everything Old is good. If Walt / WED worked on it then it’s safe to like. If Rolly Crump sat on it, it’s Gold. If Bob Gurr farted on it, it’s Platinum.

Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars are big No No’s. Especially in Walt’s original park. Even new Disney IP is a No No unless it’s something that didn’t get a lot of shine and failed miserably at the box office. Disney Live action remake tie ins are not also not welcome at the park.

Last but not least. Complain, complain, complain until your blue in the face. This is the mantra. Blame current management for everything but find a way not to blame WDI because they're really just doing what they re told. The next step and this is like the rebirth or reincarnation of an HOB member- is to go find a time machine and go back in time to a place before the parks were ruined.

*Unfortunately, the HOB is a very exclusive club and membership is rare. For example, even though I'm the Chariman, I had to disqualify myself as a potential member because I didn't quite make the cut. (Though we always have our eyes open for potential members)

*For Non-HOB members, this is a great place to check out when there is new DL projects. The members will let us know if they approve or disapprove of the projects, showing us whether we should be excited, angry, or distraught.

Curious Constance chose to fall on her sword,
decided to resign on her own accord,
Forgotten & shunned by the Hall of Blame,
she threw herself to the sea in shame.

RIP CONSTANCE

The quirkiest one in the bunch who lets her emotions rule her with an iron fist. If you're on her good side she will treat you like royalty. If not, watch out!

Well the HOB are traditionalists to a fault. Most everything New is bad and most everything old is good. If they grew up with it at the park then it’s charming, not old or dated. If Walt / WED worked on it then it’s safe to like. If Rolly Crump sat on it, it’s Gold. If Bob Gurr farted on it, it’s Platinum.

Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars are big No No’s. Especially in Walt’s original park. Even new Disney IP is a No No unless it’s something that didn’t get a lot of shine and failed miserably at the box office. Disney Live action remake tie ins are not also not welcome at the park.

The next step and this is like the re birth or reincarnation of an HOB member- is to go find a time machine and go back in time to a place before the parks were ruined. Of course this will depend on the age of each member as that time/ place will most likely be at some point at the end of their childhood.


LOLLLLL Bruhhhhh your HOB member descriptions are comedic gold! Job well done. Killed it bruh. You killed it.

I noticed an error in the new = bad, old = charming. You see, I didn't grow up with Disneyland. I didn't go until the 2010s. Before that, I had only watched the Disneyland Sing-Along VHS tape and obsessed over the Haunted Mansion segment. My appreciation of its charm and chintz has nothing to do with nostalgia.

Just by watching those old VHS tapes, it was enough to mold you into the charming nostalgic chintzy that you are, hence a member of the HOB...
