I'm aware that the joke behind "What's Up With Topher Grace" is that Topher Grace is a B-list actor and is not that interesting, but just the same, "WUWTG" is the only regular Vgum column that I don't enjoy reading. I feel bad about that, seeing as how it is clearly one of the most popular features on the site.
This was one of those times where I read and processed all of Gabe's commentary before watching the video, and had my mind blown almost immediately after I hit play.
If you are in Pittsburgh and you sensed a tremor, I apologize, that was me trying to hold in a large number of belly laffs.
Additional note, did anybody find it odd that they said Bill Cosby released his ridiculously mediocre rap album last week, when we were all making fun of it back in October when it ACTUALLY came out?
I seriously thought I was imagining things when the "Gathering" parody came on. I thought "Has SNL finally started paying attention to all those letters Gabe has been writing?"
What made the original so fantastic was that it was basically the formula for an SNL sketch already.
I don't know how to feel about this movie, seeing that the short film it was based on was nominated for an oscar despite it BLOWING CHUNKS AND NOT BEING INTERESTING.
I always thought that the short film felt like they just cut a random scene out of a much bigger movie and expected us to understand it as a standalone piece.
It'll probably be much better suited to fill over an hour rather than being cramped into 10 minutes.
I was going to make a long comment about how I never fully realized the deep message Mr. Degraw was trying to convey to mixed breed dogs everywhere, but watching this video filled my head with too much retarded. Now I need to go to the hospital, to get a catheter. You know, to drain all of the retarded out of my brain.
From watching that video.
The thing about The Onion Movie is that any of the sketches individually were fantastic, strung together with an incoherent plot made them unbearable.
"Neck Belt Recall"? Fantastic
"The Penis People"? Also fantastic.
"Cockpuncher"? Instant catchphrase.
No, they're remaking it to sell to today's impressionable youth who have never seen the original.
Also, don't dis Back To the Future, that shit is still the best.
My favorite part about this infomercial (I stayed up watching it once until 3 in the morning) is during some bits they'll overlay a googled image for almost EVERY SINGLE WORD they say.
example:"The Mighty Cleanse [image of product] leaves you pure [pristine lake] and free [unlocked padlock] of the harmful waste [ugly gunk] that is retained [bloated person] in the colon [colon] for countless years [calander]..."
And so on and so forth.
