The HardBag - HardCheapyD Reveals (almost) All!

Thought it was time for another round of reader feedback from fellow CAGs. This time it's almost all negative, but don't worry about me, I do get positive feedback from time to time (thanks!).


For all you Cheapyd haters out there (not me) or anyone who likes funny stuff

Hi everyone supermidget here just telling you to check out some hilarious shit i found on twitter. It is some guy making fun of Cheapy through twitter updates! Check it out at http://twitter.com/HardCheapyD. If you like it please try to find the person who set it up (not me I'm not that clever). Also if you made it comment people would like to know. Thank you!

Firstly, thanks supermidget for the kind words! But I just want to clear up one thing. I'm not intending my audience to be CheapyD haters! I guess it could be said that @HardCheapyD is making fun of CheapyD, but really, my goal is to take some of what makes CheapyD so funny on the CAGcast and put it in twitter form. So my hope is, people that find CheapyD talking about shit, weed, and sex on the the CAGcast might also like @HardCheapyD's tweets.

No no I went. I am just saying I dont why someone would go so far to do this? I figured if you dont like someone you dont listen or bother with them but this person I think is the opposite I think they are infatuated with CheapyD.

Yep, you nailed it! At the very least, I'm a fan.

How is it funny that some cock sucker is mocking cheapyd?

Not mocking as I said. Some will find it funny, some won't. Hopefully whether or not I suck cock isn't a factor :-p.

There are Cheapy haters? I thought everyone just hated Wombat.


Hmm. The more you know.

I'm a Wombat fan too!


supermidget - 06-21-2009, 03:39 PM

I thought some things were funny although the new ones aren't as good... by the way if cheapy reads this i am not against him... I just thinks it's funny when someone makes fun of him. Also hi wombat.

Hey, if you found a few funny then I'm happy :-).


whywakeup - 06-21-2009, 03:54 PM

It would be funny if it was actually funny , but its not , at all.

I guess you don't laugh at Cheapy's shit stories on the CAGcast either? Too bad..


antlp89 - 06-21-2009, 05:06 PM

Yeah unfortunately it looks like it's all "dumb/low intelligence humor" (i.e. "He farted hahahaha! He smokes weed and like poo poo hahaha!").


I don't think the creator is angry at Cheapy, I think he's just trying to get some attention/glorification for his warped sense of humor.


Kind of pathetic but maybe this guy is just really really bored?

Kind of a misuse of quotes there :-). And then, by definition, the humor wouldn't be warped, would it?


adriley313 - 06-21-2009, 07:25 PM

Ya hes a loser

He tries to be CheapyD but doesnt even know Tai's name

Wow, I'm still hearing this complaint?


basilofbkrst - 06-21-2009, 10:17 PM

"Pink and yellow!" Classic.

Thanks! I can only take minimal credit though. That tweet was probably the closest to a direct rip from the CAGcast as any. If folks remember, Cheapy's story had him getting a peek at some high school girl's underwear (maybe they were pink?) and then running into misfortune for the rest of the day.

@gamerspd nice post. Let's hope wombat is not tricked by this imposter!

Haha, don't worry about that. Wombat wasn't tricked, isn't tricked, and never will be tricked by @HardCheapyD. Nor was that ever my intention. Anyway, give the guy some credit here :-).


Jesus' Bush - Yesterday, 06:40 PM

Wow, please stop with the FAIL images. Its a forced meme and absolutely retarded. We dont need to see FAIL to know its FAIL and just because a picture says FAIL doesnt mean its FAIL.

I couldn't agree more.


OK, now on to a couple from Twitter:

PassiveProgress@HardCheapyD Are you really cheapyD? The obscene amount of vulgarity on your timeline says otherwise-_-

Um, no, @HardCheapyD is not CheapyD. And if @HardCheapyD's tweets offend you then I wouldn't recommend listening to the CAGcast.


Wombat5277@HardCheapyD your tweets get less and less amusing each time, please stop, and no @cheapyd didn't say anything to me

A tweet from Wombat! It's like all my birthdays have come at once! Now, Wombat, I think you're great, but I'm going to have to call you out here and at the same time reveal a little secret. As someone over at CAG speculated, I did come up with @HardCheapyD on a slow, boring, Sunday afternoon, back in May. Now the secret is, that same afternoon I wrote about 80% of all the previous tweets along with tweets for the next 2 months. Then I simply used a Twitter scheduling service to make sure that @HardCheapyD would tweet once a day. I didn't even write them in chronological order, in fact I juggled the order round quite a bit. Also, in a few cases, there are 2-3 tweets that tell an ongoing story. So what I will say is, that any perceived decrease in quality is probably your imagination. In fact, I put it down to you getting tired of the humor (a completely legit reason btw) or just getting sick of hearing Cheapy complain about it, or both ;-).


Regardless, the audience of a parody is not usually intended to be the parodied. So please feel free to exercise "unfollow", or "block", I won't be offended. Promise!


I'll leave it to the great man himself to have the last word:


PassiveProgress @CheapyD hey cheapy, there's a twitter account named HardCheapyD, I'm just curious, is that you or just some douche posing as you?

CheapyD @PassiveProgress douche

And Cheapy... I wouldn't have it any other way.


Peace out.


Looking Back

I just wanted to have a look back at one of my attempts at humor with @HardCheapyD (attempt being the key here!).


@CheapyD's lack of ability with the Japanese language along with his distaste for studying are well known. "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" he has said on the @CAGcast. Also, listeners of the @CAGcast may remember he picked up a copy of UbiSoft's My Japanese Coach for the DS but maybe spent only a brief time with it before becoming bored.


My idea for the joke was for @HardCheapyD to actually put some time into My Japanese Coach and show an overnight improvement. Also, he'd learn to say some pretty ridiculous stuff along the way, one of the points being that he would say stuff that wouldn't be usually found in a textbook. Unfortunately, the response was not stellar, in fact it was zero. I was hoping someone might at least ask WTF @HardCheapyD was saying, or maybe even try and run it through Google translator. For anyone who might be interested, here's what he said:


Finally spent some time with My Japanese Coach. It rocks! ぼくのチンチンは長過ぎる。ぼくはお金が有り余っているよ!

10:26 AM May 27th from web


Translation - My dick is too big. I have too much money!


Lesson 2 of My Japanese Coach - ゆうべ妻にエッチしよと言ったけど、返事は今の時が危ないだ。残念ねみんな。Japanese for your daily life!

3:34 PM May 28th from web


Translation - Last night I asked my wife to have sex but she said it was a dangerous time of the month. Too bad hey.


My Japanese Coach covers real life situations, for example: 結婚しようね。#3wordsaftersex

3:23 PM May 29th from web


Translation - Let's get married.


My Japanese Coach really helps me express myself! 今朝 @Wombat5227 のビデオを見ながら、千釣りした。死ぬほど気持ち良かった!

11:25 AM May 30th from web


Translation - This morning I masturbated while watching a video of Wombat. It felt so good I almost died!


Anyway, as they say, a joke has failed as soon as it requires an explanation. Sadly that was the case this time round.


Peace out.
