It's not shitty to make fun of this clip; it's a horrible movie. I'm all about making fun of my fellow Mormons for making horrible movies. I will say, however, that the joke is on whomever actually thinks this accurately represents Mormon life. It's like saying Avatar accurately depicts life as a futuristic space traveler. We all know there will be more hovering. (It's not like that. I'm just on a mission ((Mormon reference)) to work Avatar analogies into completely unnecessary situations)
I'm Mormon, too. I feel like we're in that scene on 30 Rock where all of the republicans stand up and admit something about themselves (e.g., "My kids go to public school" and "I'm black").
What dad loves RAWK music so much that he makes his kid learn the drums this well, but can't even put enough time into figuring out how to play the guitar along with his kid's drumming?
"I love you enough to chain you to your drum kit until you can play along with 'The System' well enough to impress my drunk friends, but not enough to learn some drop-d power chords."

The artist definitely has a gift. I think we can all agree on that. My only complaint (It's nitpicky. But, hey, so is Toger when it comes to acting) is that we don't see enough of Toph's tastefully bleached tips.
I would say that maybe the feeling you're feeling is love. But I know you know what an erection feels like. (Is it plagiarism if I don't cite a joke that's almost the same as a "famous" joke?)
Dammitalltohell. I was going to say something like, "The video cuts right before Troy walks in and says, 'That's not raving,' and then starts raving even harder." But I guess I'm just too slowgum.
So here I am thinking that I'm still totally new to Videogum, and that I wouldn't really get the inside jokes. It turns out that I've seen the inception of many of them, and have just picked up on the rest while I've been reading. As a result, I feel like I'm part of something, but that my part is the creepy dude who just sort of hangs around, laughs at the jokes (then uses them amongst other friends), and rarely makes comments (most of you probably are thinking, "What is this new avatar?"). My point is: if you hear some heavy breathing uncomfortably close to the back of your head, I apologize in advance for being a creeper.
I wrote this the same night I wrote all of the "Scary Movie" movies, and the soundtrack is just my Zune on shuffle. Can you believe how well it fits?
On a more serious note, I didn't believe this was a real trailer until I heard "movie trailer guy's" voice. Then it had to be a real trailer.
So, I lived in the Philippines for a couple years, and I saw entire cities stop functioning when Pacquiao had a fight. Pacquiao is God there, and God can do what he wants. Also, this movie looks better than any of the other Filipino movies I've seen (and I've seen, like, 30 of them). I'm actually excited for this, and I will be showing off to my roommates by watching it without subtitles. My roommates always get so jealous when I remind them that I speak a useful second language like Tagalog.
The model/actress/country singer (who I assume has a name, but I'm not going to look it up) on the left in the video is so "in" on the geriatric's joke that she actually ruins the joke.
This is one of those movies that came out when I was young enough that most of my friends (and me, usually) would like anything we were "supposed" to like. "The car chases are so bad, dude," we would say before 8th grade Life Sciences class started. However, with this one I had to fake it even as an 8th grader. I'm so glad I can make fun of it openly now. Starting with this: Angelina Jolie = white Milli Vanilli. Girl, you know it's true.
I'm with him. I'm sick of seeing Bald Eagles getting all of the attention. Given the kid's name, this is a great opportunity to promote the mysterious Falcon--a bird that has been misunderstood and under appreciated for too long.
I'm actually annoyed about all the barbarian porn hijinks (I haven't even caught up on my Marge Simpson porn yet), because I really wanted to see what they were looking at. What Lisa Frank-esque screen saver was going to help these kids convince their square dad to finally be cool for once and get an internet connection in their home?
When has "fixing the plumbing" ever meant fixing the plumbing? As far as I'm concerned, the most disappointing part of this show is that it doesn't adhere strictly enough to softcore porno plots. (Woman answers door and says, "I'm gonna need to have a look at your tool to see if it's big enough for the job.")
I thought Saved by the Bell: The College Years and The OC: Season 4 had already taught us to just not send fictitious people to college. However, I would like to see how these kids handle the crippling ethical dilemmas they'll study objectively in introductory courses for Sociology and Philosophy. College is deep and contains many volumes. If TV has taught us anything, you need to become a hippie to stay afloat. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1746835456/tt0362359
I just can't wait until they collaborate for a song on Taylor's (or Kanye's) next album. It will combine auto-tune and synthesized steel guitar. It will win a coveted "spaceman" at the MTV video music awards. It will probably be called "Sorry Doesn't Cut It." Most importantly, it will finally finish what Bubba Sparxxx started in bridging the gap between country and hip-hop--the two genres that are typically the exceptions to people's "I like all music except..." preference on Facebook.
I wonder if Tracy Jordan gets royalties for this, seeing as how it was made with (or at least inspired by) his meat machine. Now, folks, bread will never maybe infect your brain again.
