Darkfong Anti Piracy Promo

In 2021, Darkfong made an anti piracy promo which spoofs a 20th Century Fox bumper from 2008. Here is the bumper.

**Bumper**: We fade to Darkfong opening up his DVD copy of *Darkfong Gold* and taking the disc out in his apartment. The scene then cuts to another apartment that has a darker color scheme as Pinkfong inserts the copy of the DVD that he bought illegally in his player. We see a split-screen shot of the two fongs putting the discs into their individual players with text at the bottom showing us who's who. We then see the 2010- Beastest Nintendo DS Player In The World logo intro being played on Darkfong's TV. We then see a clip from the movie onscreen as a green thumbs up sign appears on the top-right side. We then see another part of the movie on Pinkfong's TV, except the quality is poor and a red thumbs down sign can be seen on the top-right corner. We then see another clip from the movie on Darkfong's TV, followed by Darkfong giving a high five to Fogi. The scene then cuts to Pinkfong and his friends reacting to the problems with his copy of the film, followed by another clip from the movie (With the same fuzzy TV effect as before) with distorted sound. Pinkfong's friends cover their ears dramatically. We see another clip from the movie on Darkfong's TV. After the scene plays, we can see two of Darkfong's friends laughing. It then cuts to Pinkfong's DVD as another part plays; a person in the movie talks in Somali as subtitles appear on-screen that read, "**Waxa aan waayay alaabtii weynayd ee aan dhulka ku jiray, Isku xidh!"** (translated to "I lost my great stuff on the floor, Screw up!" in English). Everyone in Pinkfong's room looks confused, one person raises both of their arms in confusion and exclaims, "What the...?!" without actually talking. We see Darkfong and his friends watching the film while sitting extra close to each other, and then a scene of Pinkfong's room as all his friends leave and Pinkfong sits on his couch by himself as the thumbs down sign can be seen in the top-left corner. We then see clips of some other Bndspitw films on Bob's TV (*Niyola: The Movie*, *Starbeam*, *Mosquito Man: The Movie*, *The She Devil's Apittamy*, and *Revenge of The Tower Block*). The scene then cuts to black text on a white background that reads, "**WATCH REAL DVDS AND** (The Blu-Ray Disc logo in blue)" in two lines and a PFC copyright disclaimer below it in grey and near the bottom-right corner of the screen. The screen fades to black.

**FX/SFX**: Live-action footage mixed with clips from *Darkfong Gold*. Clips from Pinkfong's DVD have a "TV static" overlay.

**Music/Sounds/Voiceover**: A rock tune mixed with a few vocal clips of the film while Calvin Jacks, the voice of Darkfong, says, "Darkfong's invited his friends to watch a DVD he bought in a store. Pinkfong's invited his friends to watch a pirated DVD he bought on the street. Darkfong's DVD looks amazing. Pinkfong's DVD doesn't. Darkfong's DVD sounds perfect. Pinkfong's DVD doesn't. Darkfong's DVD makes sense. Pinkfong's DVD doesn't." One of Pinkfong's friends says, "What the…?!" Jacks continues, "Darkfong's DVD brings all his friends closer. Pinkfong's DVD makes all his friends disappear. Real DVDs are the right way to watch movies." Jacks speaks enthusiastically during each scene involving Darkfong, whereas he speaks less enthusiastically during each scene involving Pinkfong.

**Availability**: Seen on UK DVD releases of Darkfong media.
