Give an ape a typewriter and infinite time, and it'll eventually create Shakespeare. Give Hayden a typewriter and infinite time, and he STILL wouldn't finish Gen Zed.
Scientists should study Hayden to figure out which part of his brain is missing, as that is certainly the part in charge of giving people a sense of humor.
I thought I'd found all I could about Hayden's past antics, but I recently managed to unearth a little gem from 2009. Sure, it's old, but it's pretty damn telling.
See, back in 2009, Hayden hastily cobbled together a comedy webseries called The Occulterers, which was commisionned by the now-defunct video platform Babelgum. Hayden himself directed the whole thing and also played one of the the leads, a kilt-wearing Belgian psychic.
Yup.
Of course, the six-episode "series" has a Facebook and Twitter, as well as the usual Hayden interview on some no-name blog.
But what's interesting about this abortion of a show is that a professional critic took a look at it. And while she does her best to be fair, her critique isn't exactly positive. [archive link]
So of course, Hayden reacts with the maturity and professionalism we've all come to appreciate:
Which leads to an army of sockpuppets commenters descending upon the article to tell the reviewer- and any commenter who agreed with her- that they don't know anything about comedy and how much of a misunderstood genius Hayden Black is.
What caught my attention were these comments:
Reminds you of anything?
Definitely doesn't sound like Hayden. No sir (:
It's amazing how much of what was said about The Occulterers in 2009 applies to Gen Sped in 2016.
The one thing that's changed is that Hayden doesn't seem to have that much of a personal army anymore. I guess even ass-lickers tire of being fed shit.
