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

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

I swear if this is a rickroll

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

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Only in Kenya.

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

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 10 months ago

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

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

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] EffortlessEffluvium@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Pronounce it like Aladdin

[–] Donut@leminal.space 31 points 10 months ago (7 children)

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

[–] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 46 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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

[–] Attaxalotl@ttrpg.network 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That'd be pronounced like Ehfrika

Dammit, Āfrica?

[–] Omega_Man@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

I assumed because Africa doesn't exist on Toril.

[–] heftig@beehaw.org 16 points 10 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.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Donut@leminal.space 9 points 10 months ago

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

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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"

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

Anyone else read that as Jackie Daytona?

[–] Artemis@lemmy.ml 27 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

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

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

There'll be peace when he is done.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] Atlas48@ttrpg.network 17 points 10 months ago

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

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 16 points 10 months ago

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