THE MEAT IS MADE UP OF GROUND UP DEPORTEES, AND THE TORTILLAS ARE DOUSED IN COCAINE.
So perhaps I can understand the addiction and craving for it.. but.. ugh!
“Twilight” is a Thriller more in the Michael Jackson sense than anything else. (Twilight isn’t even out yet. Those are all pre-ordered. Ridic.)
And I’m glad they put “High School Musical 3” in Comedy instead of Kids & Family because it does NOT get enough cred for being fucking hilarious.
I want a Snuggie? made out of ShamWows?.
ShamSnuggie!? You following this, camera guy?
holy f—k.
Do you think you can clean it with Oxyclean?
The Snuggie - Is it just me, or do all these people appear to be in a cult?
y’know how Mormons have garments? These peeps have their snuggies.
Straight up though, these people need to learn to get a sweatshirt and a fleece blanket. It’s not that difficult.
So to answer your question, they srsly do.
5 Things You Need to Know About ‘Twilight’:
- The Books Are Popular. Very Popular.
- The Books Aren’t Very Good.
- The Writer Can Be A Bit Of A Prima Donna.
- VINOs: Vampires In Name Only.
- Remember The Golden Compass.
I agree with everything, except I know that the movie is going to make a ridiculous amount of money. I mean tickets to the midnight showings have probably already sold out.
And really, the quality of the books is just sub-par. I’ve never tried cocaine but I imagine that the effects are very similar:
you know it isn’t good for you and you want to stop but you just keep f—-ing reading.
I’m not sure why this has taken me so long to do, but I really need to express my disappointment with The Office.
A few weeks ago I went over to a friend’s house at about 8:30 and all she spoke about for 30 minutes was her excitement for the season premiere of The Office that night. Soon her sister came down, then her brother, and even her mother. Being that we where all squished on a tiny couch in the basement of her house, I figured I might as well stick around and see what all the hype is about. I’ve been hearing about this show from all my friends, and even people I don’t know, so it was about time I finally saw it.
Now that I have seen it (that one time at my friends house), I can officially say…what the hell is all the hype about?! I get that its funny, but to watch that every week is it a bit much of casual humor for me. I mean, the whole reason why any of it is funny is because it mimics real life. It is not slapstick humor or situations that you say ‘well that can ONLY happen on tv!”, everything that they SCRIPT for this show, is meant to be as close to our own lives as possible… in order that we laugh at the awkwardness because we actually believe it. Ok, so that part is funny, but hell, my life is awkward. Someone come and tape my life, record my week, edit it, then play it week by week for thousands of people to watch. Exactly… no one is interested!
And, if it is meant to be that awkward type of office situations, then why the relationships, engagements…obviously, the office awkwardness can’t hold up this many seasons. (at least the producers knew it wouldn’t). I’m not talking about the and angela and andy, becuase that one clearly goes along with the shows premis, but the Jim and Andy, sorry people that belongs on ‘Friends’. Bottom line to keep the viewership because the crap they where using wasn’t going to hold them much longer it needed to be somewhat serialized, an addition of some melodrama was needed, (now everyone get upset that I said drama when we are talking about a comedy, but if you actually know what melodrama is, well yup its here). If you don’t agree with me, please explain the fact that onlysimchas.com had an engagement page for Jim and Pam. Seriously people, get hobbies…or a tumblr. (incase you are wondering what the Onlysimchas page is, its a jewish site where people list engagements, weddings, bar mitzvahs… pretty much within minutes of the show there was an engadement page that some stupid ‘office’ fan listed for Jim and Pam…I just went to the link and I guess someone on the Onlysimchas staff knew what it was and how ‘legit’ the simchas was, so the listing was deleted, sorry, it was humorous, but no longer working).
Another issue…. if this show is so popular and people find it so funny, why aren’t more people still watching the classics and originators of this sort of mock-umentary- thing. Why isn’t the world talking about ‘Best in Show’, and ‘Waiting for Guffman’. (clearly these aren’t the classics, nor are they the originators, but they are just personal favorites…so sue me.)
Bottom line: ok, its funny, but I’m not sure how it is still on the air after quite a few seasons.
Speaking as one fo the biggest Dunderheads of all time, I feel the need to proselytize best I can.
I’d like to second your comment about Best in Show though. I’ve tried to share it with as many people as possible, it’s most definitely one of my favorite movies ever.
But here’s where I begin disagreeing with you-
The Office is more than just casual humor. If you give it a real chance, you’ll get to see the quick witted Conference Room Scenes and the Talking Heads that are mind blowingly hilarious.
Just ONE person’s life is boring. I wouldn’t watch just you. That’s why it’s an entire office. Sure we have our main, archetypal leads, the stereotypical “Will they won’t they” Sam/Diane Ross/Rachel relationship with JAM; but every single one of the characters is so lovable in their own sick, twisted way. We aren’t limited to one person, we get to see every character’s perspective.
If you take the time to watch the show, you WILL see a lot of slapstick humor (Andy at the golf course, Michael’s cooked foot, Michael and Dwight and the industrial copier). It’s more than just walking into a floorboard and hitting yourself in the face.
There’s more than enough awkwardness left. Never underestimate Michael Scott’s ability to ruin a moment; but it was never the only element of the show. It’s always been the relationships around the awkwardness.
Personally, I think that you need to give the show a proper chance.
You can always go with Season One’s classics of Diversity Day and Health Care; but that’s only for the fans of British comedy. Which I assume that you would be.
But as for the real, all American version of ‘Office’: start with The Dundies (2.01), The Client (2.07) for some foundation, The Injury (2.12) for something that can only be described as “epic.”
I thought that this video helped explain the show’s appeal.
BTW: I have no life, I am procrastinating my homework, and watching “The Office” is my favorite past time. Hence the response. :-) But I hope that this doesn’t seem like I’m all offended and defensive over it. I just have some time to kill. PLUS I love to enlighten people.
