Double, double toil and trouble;

Cauldron burn and fire bubble.

Fillet of a Harlem Shake,

In The Attic, The Light doth bake;

Eye of tower and prince of frog,

Breadstick purse and bark of dog,

Blitzo's fork and fish-sword swing,

Metta's leg and Mothman's wing,

For battery acid of powerful trouble,

Like ,' , |,'_' boil and bubble.

Trouble, double soil and bubble;

Cow Tools burn and Elphaba bubble.

Cool it with YMCA's blood,

Then the spaghetti is firm and gun.

A New Threat

Season 4 Episode 1 Featured on: FIRST STRIKE ~ SiIvaGunner: King for Another Day Tournament Original Soundtrack VOL. 1

Ripped by Sarvéproductions

I think its really interesting to see how, despite being set up to be entirely derivative in nature, so many SiIva events end up spawning original characters in their own right. Wood man is the posterchild for this obviously, having changed so far from his source material as to become a fully unique character tied specifically to SiIvaGunner, but it happens even more than you'd think.

One of the most inspired examples of this is Ajit Pai, introduced as one of the first contestants for Season 3's King for a Day tournament. The real-life controversy regarding Ajit Pai overturning Net Neutrality in 2017 was still fresh in a lot of viewer's minds, as he'd effectively made himself public enemy number one to the internet. SiIva played into this by making Ajit Pai the "joke" fighter, with a pretty vague list of games to be ripped from of "games with bad internet" and "the harlem shake". He got matched against Thanos in the first round, and rather than being eliminated he got full-on snapped out of existence in the fallout of his loss. He was a funny meme with like, two tracks made for the tournament, and sort of faded from memory after a while. That was, at least, until the King for Another Day Tournament a year later.

Ajit Pai's in-canon "death" of being snapped into ashes was remembered, and used as a springboard to buff the character for his return. Every character from the last tournament was set to return in some way for the new one, and Ajit Pai was no exception - his new ashy state became part of his new form as a mecha, with an insane original design made just for this event. Metal Ajit Pai features all the stuff from his old sources with the huge addition of mech-franchises such as Gundam and Armored Core, giving his rips a surprisingly heavy sound overall. A New Threat debuted as Metal Ajit Pai's own personal theme - a fully original composition taking cues from the sounds of internet services like AOL as well as the sounds of various mecha anime and media. Despite not having much of a nostalgic or recognizable hook, it made such a striking impression back in the day - it truly sold home just how far Ajit Pai had come from being a joke contestant. Its a fantastic composition that's stuck with me since its release, as it feels almost like a time capsule for that specific kind of hype that was going around - hype for the strangely epic resurrection of an FCC chairman.

Does anyone else remember this masterpiece

[commiemartyrshighschool]

The Grimace Shake meme on tiktok is about the build up from a normal scene to one of just departed madness.

The Harlem Shake meme on Vine was about the build up from a comparatively normal scene to one of utter madness.

This means something.

Totally Shaaking Out Right Now

Season 6 Featured on: The Harlem Shakeover

Ripped by Myeauxyoozi

Well, I've coincidentally been covering a lot of corners of the King for a Day Tournaments recently - so I figured it best to wrap this whole thing up with something I've been waiting to write about for a while. We've seen the winners and losers, the happenstance heroes and the shining stars, and all the different emotional reactions that the tournament's contestants gave us. All except one - one I've only previously alluded to with Shaky Mountain and later A New Threat. It's about time we look at the last remaining piece of the King for a Day Tournament. The Disaster.

As part of the initial 16-character roster of Season 3's King for a Day Tournament, Ajit Pai was immediately recognizable as a complete joke inclusion to most viewers. His source list was pretty shallow compared to a lot of other contestants, and he only got a single rip to promote his potential - the forebodingly titled Harlem Shakeover. It wasn't long until he was defeated at the hands of Thanos, turned to dust to float away in the wind, seemingly destined to forever remain a one-off joke amidst a sea of other figments on SiIva. Yet as I covered in A New Threat, the King for Another Day Tournament aimed to actually bring Ajit Pai back as a serious contender for the top, with a buffed source list and an actual twist to his character - reincarnated within a suit of armor, clinging for life after his defeat at the hands of Thanos.

After all of that, after going from joke, to actually trying, to losing and sitting the entirety of Season 5 out - it came as a complete shock to see Ajit Pai return for Season 6, and for him to bring his long-promised Harlem Shakeover with him. Yet I think there's something really poetic to be mined from it, story wise - there's something to be said thematically about someone like Ajit Pai just refusing to let go of life on SiIvaGunner despite having so little to actually offer, such a small fanbase to appeal to, and simply refusing to move on with life. Coincidentally already happening in Season 6, the Season all about grief, loss, and the need to move on, Ajit Pai's 10-day Harlem Shakeover was a great change of pace with a lot of levity, yet still left me with far too much to think about. The guy is canonically literally just ashes, and gave us 10 days of LITERALLY JUST ONE SINGLE JOKE to be repeated into the ground - yet still refused to move on. In a way, it prepared us all for what would happen by the end of the Season - the end of the SiIva AI itself.

Anyway, yeah, uh, sorry about all that - Totally Shaaking Out Right Now is fucking great, as are tons of the other rips from the Shakeover. I covered it in Shaky Mountain, but rippers like Myeauxyoozi really did work their asses off to ensure that these 10 days of torture were as impressively varied as possible within the constraints they worked in, and showed so many fascinatingly good examples of how to use the meme in. Inbetween the joke rips and shorter gags, there are rips like the two mentioned in this paragraph that just genuinely lend themselves fantastically to the wub-wub sound of the Harlem Shake.
