How would that even work?

"You want to give me control of the Maia system."
"I want to give you control of the Maia system."
"And you're going to kick out Chevy Chase because he's an asshole."
"And I'm going to kick out Chevy Chase because he's an asshole."
"See this? I can make him say whatever I want. Say, 'White Chicks was amazing.'"
"White Chicks was amazing."


Well, nothing like that, for a start. That's the Jedi Mind Trick, not gaslighting.

Actually, in that example, it's vampiric hypnotism.

Then why did you try passing it off as gaslighting?

Even worse, it was ripping off Family Guy.

Oooh, sorry. The answer we were looking for was: the fanmade parody of Hellsing Ultimate.

No, you're just remembering it as Hellsing Abridged. It was actually Family Guy.

Besides, what are you going to believe- a YouTube search, or what I tell you?

I'm sure there's some Nazis hiding out somewhere in the wings.

In fact, the end of that episode is someone saying:

"It was the f***ing-"
"NAZIIIIIIIIS!"

And yes, Artie, nonsense is my milieu.

Sorry my good CMDR, there's only one person on this planet that tells me what to do, my father, and if memory serves me correctly I don't listen to him neither. What I quoted from was Hellsing Abridged. Whether they ripped it off Family Guy or not is not within my wheelhouse.

So what you're saying is that you don't see the humor when someone tries to scramble your perception of what is and isn't real?

Interesting.

Who said I didn't see the humor? I find the whole exchange highly amusing.
