As you can tell, Irk made some heavy-handed rewrites to @conandlibrarian's translation. People can quibble about style, but Irk's thing is that even though Mad Ape Den sounds stilted, it's still gotta be grammatical!
A line like "due not far all meh boy vow his sad, sad vow" obeys the word-length limit, but its' hard to figure out what it means. So that's why Irk messed with it (and many other sections of this particular submission). A solid M.A.D. translation isn't just short words; it's short words that make sense. (A great M.A.D. translation retains the original song's rhyme scheme and meter, too! It's far too much to ask most of the time.)
Who did die to get Irk to be Mad Ape cop, you ask? Oh, no one. It's for fun, is all.
@curtise I guess it's an every-other-daily video now. Not that I'm entitled to a video every day, but it'd be nice to hear from meh about what to expect.
OMG. Love the bandana. Instant classic, Irk.
Irk, I am so honored!!
Oh... um... Irk... has no nipples. I guess trolls aren't mammals.
@Thumperchick I hear the nipples are lower on trolls, like, on the butt
that was actually, surprisingly, pretty great!
Even the background vocals were MAD'd!
LET'S TALK ABOUT MAD APE DEN, BABY

@matthew So what you are saying is, I am a shitty writer.
@conandlibrarian ha! No. This comes up on almost all the submissions. I don't know why Irk wanted to pick on you specifically.
@matthew Irk did a much better job translating that awesome song than I ever could.
@matthew I like how the guy with the puppet always blames his offensive behavior on the puppet. ;-) You kick his ass, @conandlibrarian.
He can be obnoxious sometimes. For example, he's now insisting this video stay up through tomorrow!
@matthew Is no one gonna mention that last line being MAD?
For some reason I am startled by Irk's strange body and lack of shirt.
@Collin1000 His body looks like there is a toilet paper roll under his skin past neck. Just saying.
And I do love Irk no matter what.
@ceagee I was thinking coffee mug.
It'd be more like a five-gallon bucket, I think. Irk is a lot bigger than you guys are picturing.
@matthew If we could only buy a reasonable facsimile thereof. And have an Irk Periscope AMA!
I've never thought of Irk as a sex symbol before. (No offense, Irk.)
@gertiestn What's wrong with you that it took so long?
Not one bud has an ow - I love this line!
Haha love it! I wanted to hear the rest!
Irk is a sex pot! No tee, no ish.
Fun cut of jib too. Mad ape den for the win
That was so gloriously awesome, it compels me to do this. Join in if you're so inclined.
@joelmw I'm more declined, but it is glorious!
Looks like Irk has been hitting the gym this summer.
Now I has four sads thanks to another repeat. That was quick.
@curtise I guess it's an every-other-daily video now. Not that I'm entitled to a video every day, but it'd be nice to hear from meh about what to expect.
@daveJay They told us a while back that we wouldn't be getting videos every day anymore.
@thismyusername I... I linked it...
@Thumperchick oh. Ok cool. I guess I'm not active enough on the forum despite what meh tells me in a private email. Cause I missed this
@curtise Irk informed us yesterday through @matthew.
