Oh. My. God. I haven't thought about this game in a MILLION YEARS. I used to play it all the time when I was a kid, and it was the most exasperating, futile thing I have experienced under the guise of "entertainment." I remember dying randomly because of the evil of the house overwhelming me or something? Ah, memories.
Having lived for a while in a small town in rural Kentucky (yes, it was hell) where everyone and their mom goes tanning, it seemed like every local business had tanning beds. Video stores, convenience stores, laundromats, etc. all had tanning beds on-site for your skin-crispening enjoyment. Even now, back in civilization, there is a place down the street that has everything you will ever need in life: laundromat/dry cleaning, tanning, daquiri bar, and ice cream parlor ALL IN ONE. Now THAT is a business model.
Kudos for gettin' all scientastic up in here. This is hands-down my favorite response to any of these dating site spam comments that have surfaced as of late.
This movie was exactly what I thought it would be, in that I laughed out loud a couple of times and spent a lot time being grossed out and left the theater going, "Meh. That was thoroughly adequate." Maybe it would have been more entertaining if I was high. Probably.
I will go on record as being perhaps the only monster who enjoyed Ryan Phillpe's character, however. I appreciated the entertainment that came from Lt. Piper being the only person in the MacGruberverse who could see what a ridiculous, selfish fuck-up McGruber is. Kristen Wiig's anxious tone and facial expressions were funny, but didn't make me laugh nearly as much as Phillipe's perpetual WTF?-face.
God, I was going to be disappointed if someone didn't post this gif. Die Antwoord and the Dark Side Underpants Dance was all I could think of when watching the video. Ninja knows how to plan appropriately for a mid-day underpants dance party: non-restricting garments and a skinny white girl acting as a hype man.
I watched this video on mute, a lesson I learned the hard way after the very, very bad mistake of watching the "Blah Blah Blah" video with the audio on. I concur with the comments regarding the grossness of the Yellow Submarine imagery. I am much more offended, however, by her ongoing co-opting of "native" imagery (e.g., war paint) to communicate that she is wild and fierce. She is disgusting AND embarrassing.
I am seriously sad that anyone old enough to even consider getting married would want this hideous-ass ring. I could see someone giving/receiving this as a "promise" ring since that seems right in line with the sexual mores of Twilight fans, but as an actual engagement ring? Seriously?
I shall brook no disrespect of the awesomeness that is Akron, Corbin Bernsen-funded faith-based dreck or not. In addition to being the Rubber City and home of the Soap Box Derby, this fine, fine municipality has provided the world with Lebron James, Alcoholics Anonymous, and more polymer engineering than you can shake a teflon-coated stick at. So y'all haterz can SUCK IT.
I love too how he steps between Captain Crazypants and the crew to defend them. You can hear around 1:57 where he tells him to get away from the cameraman.
That little one brought a tear to my eye. What a cutie. I love how once he wrapped his brain around it, it was all cool -- just a little tweak to an existing paradigm, with no judgmental subtext. Like someone just told him that whales are mammals and he was like, "but they live in the water and dogs are mammals and... what... whales and dogs... wha... Okay. I'm going to go play ping pong now."
Wow -- this "video" is like someone took it upon themselves as their life's work to make the worst thing ever created by human beings. It is breathtaking in its complete and utter horribleosity, to the point where I have a hard time believing that it is not meant ironically. It's like Die Antwoord, but real. I think.
