A critical analysis of a cringy interview with our very own /u/ComedicSans. The story of his unfulfilled urges, his inferiority complexes and general narcissism.

By pure chance I stumbled across this interview with /u/ComedicSans from 2010. To protect his identity, I've choose not to link to the full interview, instead I will cite and carry out a critical analysis of parts of the text.

In the case that the moderators believe this interview isn't genuine, I can provide the mods with a link to the original.

Please join me in welcoming our newest co-writer, our very own ComedicSans. CS has been a frequent and valued contributor for the past year. His excellent writing is backed by a big football brain and IQ, sportingly used to baffle trolls with brilliance as well as hijack threads to heaven knows where.

Both "excellent writing" and "big IQ" are quite doubtful. I'm not knowledgeable about football to judge his "football brain", but his comments in /r/NFL are usually downvoted, so it can't be too big.

New Zealanders are very sport-oriented, probably because, as the youngest first-world colony of an established empire, New Zealanders felt this massive urge to prove their worth and chose to do so via sport.

An urge that /u/ComedicSans was unable to fulfill as we will later see.

As of a month or two ago, I'm a fully-fledged barrister and solicitor (in other words, lawyer). At the moment, I'm job-hunting, mainly because the courts close down for Christmas/New Year, and nobody hires at this current time.

Just say that you studied law, but as of right now you're a NEET. Saying "a fully-fledged barrister and solicitor" instead of "I just finished my law degree" is just the cheapest way to make you appear more important than you are. Y

My family and I have always been particularly sporty - my mother's parents were a national cricket player and Olympian in small-bore rifle shooting respectively, and my mother represented NZ Universities in tennis and netball. My father's father played alongside, and was best friends with, X and Y. X is basically the Z of the Rugby world - he was voted the rugby player of the 20th Century, if that says anything.

Netball lol. Anyway. one can tell that /u/ComedicSans feels inadequate compared to his relatives, he was never successful in any sports:

I've played representative sport myself - cricket and rugby - and tried my hand at pretty much anything with a ball, a bat, or combination thereof.

Even his sister wasn't as big of as disappointment as he is:

My younger sister is a national representative at badminton, too.

The tension between him and his sister are obvious. At this point one is forced to wonder how his damaged relationship has influenced his relationships to other women. Keep in mind that /u/ComeidcSans has never mentioned a current or former partner.

NZers are plagued with tall-poppy syndrome - even if your team is 100 point favourite, you never, ever say you'll win, you'll never even say you will do well.

This might be true for Kiwis in general, but /u/ComedicSans has to brag about his achievements at any possible given time:

More to the point, I got to play against the guy when I was 17 and playing in the W. club competition, so I get to say "yeah, I played that guy once" for as long as he's famous.

Again he's using others people's achievements to but himself in a better light.

Hah, I've only met a couple of American rugby players, and they're soft in comparison to the NZers. One guy from a Mid-West university, Brodie something, played over here for one winter. He lasted 5 minutes of an 80 minute game and was blown away by the pace and physicality of the game here.

Of course NZers are harder and manlier than Americans. He's from New Zealand after all.

And I have all my teeth, and a non-bashed in nose. In fact, I don't remember seeing anyone with a missing tooth here who played rugby. Weird.

Uhhhh. Dissecting these sentences is left as exercise for the reader.

Congrats on having all your teeth though, it's something buddy.

PS - most of the scenery from LOTR was within 45 minutes drive of where I live.
