Typically, when issues are dangerous, all you are able to do is giggle.
So it’s with Trombone Champ (opens in new tab), comedically absurd rhythm sport (and Chris’ sport of the yr contender (opens in new tab)) which is seemingly assured to make us giggle it doesn’t matter what we do with it. At first we have been simply laughing at foolish charts of well-known songs. Now we’re laughing at world occasions.
Naturally, the trombone champ chart/catastrophe du jour is a of UK Prime Minister Liz Truss’ resignation speech. Truss got here into workplace on 6 September 2022 and can now resign, somewhat greater than a month later, holding the doubtful honor of changing into the shortest-tenured Prime Minister within the historical past of the UK.
Trombone Champ has given us some actual delights up to now month. First we had rhythm sport required-listening Megalovania (opens in new tab), straight off the Undertale soundtrack. Then we had precise trombone professionals (opens in new tab) on the Philadelphia Orchestra being horrible at Trombone Champ. Most lately, we had the Last Fantasy legend rock-operatic bombast of One Winged Angel (opens in new tab), however with trombone toots. Now we now have Liz Truss.
I’m reminded in some ways of a favourite Niels Bohr quote: “Some topics are so severe that one can solely joke about them.” (The topic is trombones.)
Value nothing that this video is AutoToot (opens in new tab) enabled, so it is not a human scoring all these perfecto notes. It’s a robotic. Identical to Liz Truss, who I’ve on good authority was constructed by serpent individuals in a cavern deep beneath the Earth.
