Ok Lemmings look, I love life and I love my family, so I’d hate to have to blow my fucking brains out. So what’s another strategy for tuning out this incessant lava chicken?

Alternatively, does anyone have a time machine and enough money to convince Jack Black to not do the Minecraft movie?

    Whenever they would start singing it, I would sing

    Cha-cha-cha-lava, La-la-la-chicken!

    back at them until they got annoyed enough that they stopped.

    🤷‍♂️

    Mine has largely gotten over the lava chicken phase, and has moved on to the next incredibly annoying barely sentient compulsion.

    Last I checked it was the intro to Ducktales. Have you shown them that? It’s so ruinously catchy it may never leave your mind.

    I don’t wanna sound old here, but I finally watched that thing a couple days ago and boy did I feel my age there. Clearly I’ve lived long enough that a whole movie failed to connect with me on any level. I mean it has Jack Black in it and I adore him. I guess what I’m saying is I have no idea how to fix your kid because they’re a different people now.

    However , the classic old group defense against young slang is taking it up and enthusiastically using it wrong. So enjoy your hot poultry song.

      It is not a good movie, but my kids enjoyed it, so I got some vicarious pleasure out of the experience. I wouldn’t watch it on my own.

        I don’t know why people dislike it so much other than the girl and her brother doing a terrible job at being relatable or authentic. I thought Jack Black and Jason Momoa did a great job and I’m not even a fan of Momoa.

        Yeah same. It was our first theater experience together and we had a blast. The movie is aggressively mediocre although it does have a few moments.

      Do you play Minecraft?

      I have yet to watch it but i assume there is very little to connect with if you don’t?

      Depending on how old your kids are and if you are not already playing, playing on a local server together is great family time and can provide situations for real bonding aswell as real world educational discussions.

        It has very little to connect with even if you do play minecraft. If you watch youtubers play minecraft, on the other hand, it’s probably perfect.

        It’s basically a gen Alpha (maybe Z at a stretch) cringe comedy movie more than a minecraft movie. That’s mostly just the setting.

    Record it from all angles at all opportunities and play the video at their wedding. Until then, sustain yourself on the antici

        Genuine question - why is that deemed a good answer? I’d expect an actual solution for a child to be more apropriate than humiliating an adult later in life. Like the suggestions telling to start singing it yourself, wrongly, seem much more effective and appropriate to me.

        Full disclosure tho: Not a parent and no plans to ever be one

          The suggestion and response are both meant humorously. It clearly isn’t actually a good answer because it doesn’t actually solve the problem, except in some passive-agressive far-off-in-the-future way.

            Ah that’s on me missing the clue then, apologies. Though in my defense, there are parents that do stuff like this.

    Unleash the Crazy Frog. Or go nuclear with playing non-stop every single kitsch 70’s romantic songs on repeat—while singing them passionately.

    It give’em an hour.

    Tell him or her that if it’s underground, it’s called magma rather than lava.

      Haha, that’s a pretty good plan for whenever he does something annoying. Just “well actually” at him until he stops.

        Wow, you actually managed to find the other song I absolutely hate when he plays!

        Our neighbor got him started with undertale and let me tell you… He is not good at it, and man does he get angry when he dies.

        But his undertale tantrums are another story, for now let me just express how tired I am of hearing the undertake soundtrack which he plays on loop, especially megalovania!

        You know I played that game once, I thought it did some clever things, but never again… That boy has ruined it for me.

    Make it inhumanely cringe. Start calling everything lava chicken as a replacement for “cool”, make lame ass Minecraft dad jokes at every opportunity, yell chicken jockey out the window to summon your spawn in public.

    Try switching to Parry Grip, some of it is OK and the catalogue is big enough they don’t really get stuck.

    And just to show solidarity the other day my kid just kept 'teenage mutant ninja turtles’ing for what felt like a half hour without a single ‘heroes in a half shell’ to round it off.
