We recently got our hands on the first season of The Big Bang Theory. We had seen a couple of episodes previously, but no more than a smattering. We have heard really good things about the series, and decided to give it a full shot.
This show is brilliant. It’s hilarious, intelligent, and all around awesome. We definitely recommend it if you find nerd and geek humor at all interesting.
Anyone who has watched the MehCast on a regular basis will know that I have nothing but contempt for the TV series “Smallville”. I think the entire series is an affront to the Superman mythos, and an embarrassment to his name. Lindsey, however, loves the series. This has lead to regular conflicts between us on this subject. Since the physical proof of the TV show itself is apparently not enough to describe how much it sucks, I am always on the lookout for something, anything, that helps prove my point, hoping that one day, I would succeed.
That day may be today.
I was browsing the articles on Superhero Hype! (one of the best superhero movie news sites around), when I came across an article discussing a potential sequel to 300. Looking in the right side bar, I saw this advertisement:
No. Experience. Needed. Smallville is the McDonald’s of the tv world! I have validation! WOO!
Last night, Lindsey and I saw a very interesting Schick razor commercial for women. I won’t do it the disservice of attempting to describe it with my paltry vocabulary. Here it is in all of its glory:
Most people have heard about the recent South Park episode that makes fun of Kanye West’s ego by means of a childish joke. We watched it via http://www.southparkstudios.com/ (Where the creators have put up every South Park episode for free viewing) a few days ago, and enjoyed it a great deal. Kanye West’s ego was heavily put in check. He was the only person in the world who didn’t understand the following joke:
Hey, do you like fish sticks?
Yes.
What are you, some kind of gay fish?
His inability to understand the joke lead him to believe people were seriously calling him a gay fish, which resulted in a violent rampage against the joke’s creators (Carlos Mencia, who is a talentless dickweed, got his ass kicked on the way).
The real Kanye West seems to have enjoyed the show and actually learned a bit of a lesson about his ego from the episode.
Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
