I remember the first time the comment section got all meta at the monster's ball, and I was a big part of it. It was really a turning point. A lot of commenters were upset and I just discarded them as haters and vlogged about them. But it turns out they were right. I kind of hate this place. And I'm one of the people that wrecked it, so sorry everybody.
This argument is just silly. Obviously Gabe can write about anything he wants, but me and AnAmPat can use the comments to explain why we disapprove. DOYOYOYOYOY
If a teablogger (I like the term) made that claim in his post we would dismiss it as shlocky and forced. And rightfully so. I don't see why we can't do that here.
As per your Topher Grace comment, isn't that the whole point of What's up with Topher Grace? The irrelevance? Topher as both an actor is completely irrelevant to our lives, and yet we dedicate a weekly article to him in a sort of satire of how really unimportant pop culture is in general. I thought that was why Gabe started each one of those posts with a tangentially related anecdote about something that he actually truly found important.
I mean I understand why it fit, but it seemed so unnecessary and tacked on. There was absolutely no reason for Gabe to throw in a pot shot at teabaggers here. Really none at all. The whole thing seemed as unnecessary as the movie itself. It was almost like the guy you just recently started hanging out with who goes out of his way to name drop new music or avant garde movies to make himself look cool. Its just so artificial and off putting.
I'll be the first to say it, I like Nightheat. Even when he's an asshole and throws around slurs. I just feel like he actually puts some thought into his assholish hate. Steve Winwood just types disparaging comments randomly with his forehead banging on the keyboard.
Take notes Steve, Nightheat just taught you how the real adults party.
When will hollywood learn that nerds don't go to parties. They have maybe one or two close friends that they spend too much time with and secretly hate. These friends are almost unilaterally the same gender. They might sneak into a party every once in a while, but they usually just get inappropriately drunk or scratch their elbows in the corner. They don't have frighteningly loud fake sex.
Also Gabe, you're crazy if you think California high schools is this beacon of tolerance with open homosexuals walking with their head held high and ice cream water falls (its too hot for ice cream). I assume it depends on region, like San Francisco is probably pretty open to it, but I'm not sure anywhere else in California is that tolerant at all. Or are many high school students emotionally strong enough yet to be who they are.
Bionicle legos were pretty sweet. They were basically just an action figure you assembled yourself. The show didn't even exist as far as I'm concerned.
You most certainly do have an inside source, you talked to a guy who went to the Emmys once.
Also, I like Betty White because she wants to bang Robert Redford. I mean, who doesn't right?
Doesn't that basically encapsulate Matt Stone and Trey Parker's point. They make fun of things for a living, why can they not make fun of this? Because these people are totally crazy?
