Oh my dear lord, what is happening? And it's all...so big on my screen? And...they like that it's not a glass bottle anymore? Because "if you drop it, it's not game over"? Truly, this site deserves its own post.
"Rapper-producer Jonathan "Lil Jon" Smith is best known for turning everyday words like "yeah" and "okay" into bloodcurdling sonic extravaganzas."
Monsters, your assignment for the day is to find a grandma (or maybe Andy Rooney), read them this sentence, and just see what happens.
What was he saying, exactly? I don't understand English, so I just turned down the volume and watched it anyways. The first 3:40 were kind of boring, though...
I have no idea, but it is certainly hilarious to think that maybe the entire Betty White internet campaign is actually run by grandmas. They don't see the irony, they just think she's a staaaar!
One thing I know is that I am certainly not mature enough to go to school with someone whose last name is pronounced "Touch-It." I'm pretty sure I would go into "thatswhatshesaid" overload and spontaneously combust.
Another thing people may not realize is how true-to-life the people and places in the show are. Kermit Ruffins is a real guy, you guys! He's awesome, and he plays every Thursday at Vaughan's, just like in the show, and that was even his real house! And that's the real Rebirth Brass Band, not actors playing them! And apparently Steve Zahn's boss at the radio station is actually a WWOZ DJ, and I'm sure there's a lot more that I didn't pick up on, but oh geez that shit just makes the show so much cooler.
I agree. It's so great/weird to see the things that make New Orleans unique being brought to the rest of the country. I couldn't stop thinking "If I had no idea what a Mardi Gras Indian was, what the hell would I make of that scene??" But I kind of like that it wasn't explained. It's better that people have to be patient and figure it out bit by bit, instead of having everything patiently explained.
Oh please please love this show, you guys. I can already tell that I'm going to be super-defensive of it, because from what I can tell so far, it does an amazing job of portraying New Orleans (and will be awesome, I can just tell). I know it will probably be confusing to non-locals, but I hereby appoint myself Explainer of All Things Weird and New Orleansy on Treme. Ask me your questions, children!
And all Mickey Mice and "ways of the screen" aside, can we talk about how this kid was actually really on beat and hit every note, even the kind of tricky ones? So impressive!
I have never wanted to wear sagging pants as badly as I do after watching that video. No, Eric Adams, I will NOT be "a role model over correct dress" (also, that is absolutely not a sentence)!
You had a tide commercial? I got a commercial for Olay Anti-Aging body lotion, which just seemed all kinds of wrong. I mean, nuh-doy, obviously it is only middle-aged women watching this video, but I wouldn't think Big Lotion would know us well enough to understand that!
Yes! Seconded! Especially since I also watched this on a plane, so I feel your pain completely. We were trapped!
And they never really explained how inability to lie = inability to ever keep your mouth shut. What? Just because you can't tell a lie does NOT mean you have to say everything that's on your mind! This drove me NUTSO.
I have so many questions when I see these fetish (fetish, right?) videos on Videogum. For starters, who are these people when they're not making videos? They've got to have jobs to make money to buy all the masks and gloves and videocams, right? What kind of jobs? Do they work in my office? And where do they hang out? Is it maybe at the same bars and coffee shops as me? And look to the right side of the video---binders! They look so professional! What is in those binders? It is completely impossible for me to conceive of someone having both a normal, productive life and ALSO wearing a granny fetish mask. Can someone please explain how this all works? Preferably someone who is not actually a granny mask fetishist, but maybe someone who knows granny mask fetishists? That would really just be ideal.
True, and I see what the writers were trying to do with this scenario. But, back in the world of practical choices, which is not this world, couldn't Ben have waited until Alex was safely admitted into Yale, and THEN launched operation blackmail? I know Ben is pathetic, but is he too pathetic to think of this?
I think that the insanity of this sentence accurately sums up the Lost experience:
"Jack is a doctor, Kate is a fugitive, Sawyer is a conman, Locke was paralyzed but could walk again, you get the gist."
I think that my favorite thing about this website is how much sense it makes, and also the fact that it was so overdue that the world was basically just needing it into existence.
Oh, the things I want to say to commenter "Mikey," who attempts to bring some civility to the conversation with this gem:
"Why do jersey douches like this use such hateful language?! Black people are just like normal people, no better or worse."
