Why does starting a bandwagon have to take so much work?[]

Dude.

You can't force a bandwagon.

Even if you try something that's been turned into a bandwagon over and over again (like those opinion threads) there's always the chance it won't catch on.

The only way to make a bandwagon is to start some sort of trend as far as posting threads go - and that depends entirely on the others in Spam.

In fact, hell, generally the people responsible for starting a bandwagon really aren't the people who posted the original thread that the bandwagon was based on. It's the person who posts that second thread - the first spin-off on the original idea - that gets the ball rolling and inspires others to jump in, thus creating a bandwagon.

That's how that works.

I can't believe I needed to explain this.

Edit: Oh, and these things always happen spontaneously and out-of-nowhere. They can't really be planned. So don't bother.

And why would you want to start a random bandwagon, anyway?

And hell, what is this bandwagon even supposed to be focused around? Every bandwagon has some common theme - that's what makes the collective group of threads recognizable as a bandwagon. Starting a bandwagon and just calling it "bandwagon" is like saying you want to write a book but having no ideas for what it will be about other than the fact that it's supposed to be a book. ...And then taking that "idea" (which in and of itself is a lack of an idea) to a publisher and expecting something to happen.

There are just so many flaws in this plan I can't even.

you're completely right
you can't force a bandwagon alone
it takes two
it takes teamwork

Its some sort of communication device, consisting of an incredibly bright light that shines on the clouds of the nightsky, similar to the kind used by flying mammal man, only it's calling some kind of explosive device that distributes sort of these shiny mirrory flakes that scratch your retina very easily.

I haven't seen it either, but it's not like the gist of it is hard to miss.
