COMEBACK CORNER
As much as we love to read compliments from amused fans, we additionally love to read insults from particularly irritated individuals. Regardless of whether we invoke feelings of bliss or feelings of discontent, we know that we have effectively done our job when someone feels passionate enough to offer their opinion. Unfortunately, the people with contempt do not always put enough time and effort into their hateful communication and contribute incomplete or just-plain-dumb thoughts. Luckily for you, we have taken the time to respond to these remarks to demonstrate our appreciation. Here at TheInvisibleRope.com, we always get the last word. Enjoy, and prepare to be blasted.

Individual's Remark Dan's Response Yuki's Response



"You guys are idiots. There is no such thing as an invisible rope."

Idiots, huh? You seem to be mixed up. Your stupidity should be self-explanatory, but I'm going to go ahead and expand anyway. It amazes me that this invisible rope, this rope that is unable to be seen, is apparently nonexistent. Just like there is no such thing as air, right? Thanks, but no thanks. Maybe next time.

Yup you're right...and tell your mom about birth control so she doesn't make the same mistake twice.



"Happy Holidays," he says. "Hi, we're dumb and tell everyone we're from Chicago when we're really living out in the suburbs."

First of all, fill me in on when we told everyone that we're from Chicago? Please, enlighten me. Second of all, I am living in the city where I attend DePaul University. The Invisible Rope, on the other hand, takes place in the suburbs. That will all change, though. Don't you worry. Words of wisdom: next time, get your facts straight before making a lousy attempt at an insult.

Relax, I don't tell anyone I'm from Chicago so you can stop losing sleep over it.



"Are they slow jerking each other in the mall?"

Yes, that is exactly what we were doing. I'm glad you caught that. We were "slow jerking each other" four feet away from one another. Either we have really long arms or really long, well, you get the point.

Personally I don't think what your mom does to you at night is any of our business...




"Wow. How clever. You showed everybody! LAME. Get a life or a girlfriend or something."

Get a life? I attend college, work at Wrigley Field, BMX, and run a website. Thanks for the advice, pal. Meanwhile, you're watching and insulting videos via the internet. It may be time for a little self-evaluation. Also, for your information, I do have a girlfriend...not to mention the best.

No we didn't quite show everybody...probably just over a million people.  I go to college, model, work part-time, own a website, and girls think I'm cute =)



"I went to school with these fools and they were caught pulling a not-so-invisible rope together in the boys' locker room."

Woah, when did this become the blame game? This has turned into more of a confession than an insult. Keep your childhood experiences to yourself, please.

It seems you have reality a little confused with some sick fantasy you have in your head.



"These idiots have nothing better to do?"

Keep in mind, this is coming from the guy who insulted us through an online comment. Do you have nothing better to do than sit at home and criticize videos? Clearly, we're both at fault. I'm making videos that 8 or 9 out of 10 people laugh at and you're, well, you're not. Congratulations.

Says the guy who searches the web for people to insult to make him feel better about himself.



"It would have been funnier if one of the drivers had to hit the brakes hard and slid into these two idiots and ran them over. Then, they could have used their f***in' rope to pull themselves out from under the car."

Let me be the first to say, good one. You have officially come up with the best insult out of anyone. Although I don't think an invisible rope in that situation would do me much good. Plus, I don't think one car could have hit both of us at the same time.

I'm too fast.
"I wish one of those videos would hit its brakes and go skidding horribly out-of-control into both of them, twice. Forty years from now, this will be the big moment they always reminisce about."

I'm sorry, one of those what? Videos? I think you meant cars. Try again.

I'm made of steel so therefore videos do not hurt me.



"PHOTOSHOP."

Shoot. You have single-handedly figured out our secret. The rope obviously couldn't have been invisible.

...is exactly what you need to use on all of your pictures.




"If I had come across them doing that, I wouldn't have thought it was an invisible rope. I would've thought that there were two idiots kneeling and being retards."

You see, if you would have thought it was an invisible rope, you would have outsmarted us. But, since you wouldn't have, you obviously would have had a reason to step over it. Dumbass.

Prepare to be blasted...

You're obviously an idiot and probably not old enough to be at the mall all by yourself anyway.

You and I both know that you're way too smart to step over it, which is why you would have tripped over it and fell on your ugly face.  Which would be a good thing for you...since any form of impact to your face would be an improvement.



"Wow. These guys are so outrageously funny. Taking advantage of people's kindness in the mall because they don't want to take the chance of stepping on someone's belongings, even if it is invisible in this case. You guys are legends. Oh, and "Happy Holidays?" It's Christmas you douches. You don't have to be politically correct because some people don't believe in Christmas. America was founded on Christianity."

Thank you for the sarcasm. But Happy Holidays says a lot more than you think. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, maybe? The statement wasn't meant to be "politically correct," because, quite frankly, we could care less.

Don't worry, I call it Christmas and I'm not a fan of people who are "politically correct."



"They need a visible foot placed up their asses."

I would much rather have an invisible foot placed up my ass. That's just the way I like it, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

And you need to be strangled by a visible rope.



"This is f***ing retarted."

Is that so? Funny you should talk. Last time I checked, the word you were trying to spell was "retarded." This is one of those times where you should start caring less about other people and more about yourself. How embarassing. A perfect example of an epic fail. For the record, "t" and "d" aren't even that close to each other on the keyboard.

Yeah that's probably one of the reasons people watch it.



"The music sucked!"

You suck.

So?



"Those guys are fags."

Indeed. My girlfriend told me to tell you that you're right.

Nah I'm straight...you're just gonna have to get over that.



"Impressed...NOT!"

Very, very original. How long did it take you to come up with that one? No, seriously.

Thats what she said...to you.
"If I was the driver of the car in the beginning, I would have just tried to hit the rope and knock both of them on their faces."

I'm sure that would have gone real well for you, genious. It would have caused some serious harm if you would have drove right into our invisible rope. You definitely wouldn't go through it, that's for sure.

Good plan...you're an idiot.



"I would have tied the rope around their necks and pushed them off the walk, haha."

I'm glad you have grasped the concept of invisibility. Tying a rope around my neck would have the same effect as a car driving into the rope. Nothing.

Well it's invisible...so good luck finding it.


"Damn. They need to feature something new [on eBaumsWorld.com]. I'm tired of seeing the same two fags at the top of the page!"

Perhaps there was a good reason they featured it so long? Oh, that's right: us. Maybe you should spend a little more time away from the computer, and a little less time showcasing your stupidity.

Then go take a nap.


"Wait until you stop the wrong guy and he gets out of the car and kicks both of your asses."

Yeah, the odds would totally be in favor of him. Me, Yuki, and our cameraman Zack against one. When that day comes, I will be completely terrified. Then again, maybe I'll let him kick my ass. That might spice up the video a tad bit.

I hope this does happen. It's all about the ratings.


"Look honey, there's two gay mimes. Let's just walk right by and not make eye contact."

Mimes is actually a good way to describe us. Actors who specialize in the art or technique of portraying an idea by gestures and bodily movements. And, of course, by gay you mean having or showing a merry, lively mood. By the way, whichever couple you were referring to, obviously fell victim to the invisible rope.

^
^ You've just been blasted.


"These knuckleheads have a serious issues that their mothers need to take care of."

Hmmm..."have a serious issues?" Do we have a serious issue? Or serious issues? Well, which one is it? Before handing out orders to my mother, maybe you should take care of yourself first. You could start by never talking again, 'knucklehead'.


Thanks but your mother already took care of all my needs.


"I would have definitely KICKED at least one of these goofballs."

Yeah, and depending on who you kicked, the other one would have definitely KICKED your ass.

You mean my buns of steel?


"The prank is so lame that the joke is on them."

Your insult is so lame that the joke is on you. And isn't the joke even more on the people who fell for such a lame prank? I think that's a qualified argument.

Actually the joke is on you because you have to look at yourself in the mirror everyday.


"If I was driving, I would have hit them."

Obviously not. I would have stopped you with my invisible rope before I would have allowed that to happen.

Well when you get your license you can give it a try.
