Also known for its legendary fandom rivalry with [[Star Trek]] due to the above reasoning on Soft Sci-Fi vs Hard Sci-Fi.
*[[Doctor Who]] has the ridiculously powerful Time Lords, the constant rape of physics, its blatant ignorance of the space-time concept where space and time are one and the same and ignoring common sense logic like how an egg should <u>''NOT''</u> gain more mass when it develops. Heck the fluff even states that the Timelords erased the concept of magic from the universe itself!
*[[StarCraft]] being a WH40k look-a-like has plenty of physics raping space magic bullshit, what with the whole concept of psionics and the Zerg's improbable biological adaptations that even the Tyranids may find blazingly fast.
*[[Halo]] at first may seem like Hard Sci-Fi, what with the modern firearms and vehicles still being used in the 26th century, but that is just a facade since Halo is one of the most blatant franchises that has no concept of physics and juvenile science. The list includes 400 meter long ships weighing as much as air, Covenant 'plasma' not being actual plasma at all, anything from the Forerunners and the very presence of the Flood essentially raping physics and biology in the ass at full force.

THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.

CHANNELS

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.

EVENTS

The VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene. These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

In later years, an event known as GRAND FEST was hosting PREMIERES for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC 69, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.

HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES

Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE seem to have been most active between 2012 and 2019.

  • GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO
  • GRAND DAD 3: THE GAUNTLET OF ASS (FEATURING SMOL NOZOMI, TITO DICKMAN, SPONGE, HE THICC, and SANS UNDERTALE)
  • GRAND DAD 4: GRAND DAD IS GOD
  • GRAND DAD 5: DEATH TO 1D4CHAN

GRAND DAD IS LOVE GRAND DAD IS LIFE GRAND DAD WILL CONQUER THIS WIKI FOR MEMES FOR VINESAUCE AND FOR SILVAGUNNER
