On TV

  • Can anyone explain what the hell is going on in this PS3 commercial? You’d think they would show actual games being played instead of some freak baby who can somehow suck back his own tears.

  • There’s a common expression I hear in lots of rap songs: “Throw your hands in the air and wave them like you just don’t care.” I was flipping channels the other day and came across an Outkast concert on BET. Big Boi uttered the phrase and the crowd instantly started waving their hands in the air.

    Apparently the crowd was not paying attention, because they all seemed to be waving their arms in the air in unison from side to side. Big Boi clearly instructed them to move their hands in a careless fashion but this was simply not the case. I suppose it’s good that the audience chose to use restraint when waving their arms. Had they actually followed Big Boi’s instructions, someone probably would have taken a hand to the eye by accident and a fight would have surely ensued.

  • Now I definitely don’t want a Nissan

    By Doug on October 31st, 2006

    DougIt’s not like I was going to buy one anyways. Have you guys seen those Nissan commercials with that guy who’s living in a car for seven days? Not since the Encyclopedia Brittanica commercial has an ad filled me with such murderous rage.

    Who is this ass clown doing commercials for Nissan? He’s just a big bag of douche. Having someone who looks and sounds just like Napoleon Dynamite is not going to sell cars.

    Actually, I know what he looks like. He looks like your ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend. You know, you just hate him no matter what. He’s probably a really good guy and all but you won’t give him a chance because you’re convinced he’s just an asshole. Like you want to throw a used condom at him or something.

    This wouldn’t be that big a deal if these damn commercials didn’t air every five seconds. I think there’s a channel that only airs these commercials.

    markAnd there’s nothing special about living in a car for a week. Are we supposed to be impressed? There are a lot of people who do that, and usually it’s not by choice. They’re not happy-go-lucky “artists” like this douchebag, either. No, they’re people who are down on their luck and they definitely don’t need Shithead McGee over here making light of their unfortunate situation.

    I wonder if I buy a Nissan, am I also going to look like a retard?

    The Top Ten Ugliest Hot Chicks

    By Van with additional help from Doug on September 21st, 2006

    Van IDSo I’ll be watching the E! network and I’ll swear I’m watching a special on transgendered individuals, when all of a sudden Ryan Seacrest comes out of nowhere to tell me, ‘That was Uma Thurman, looking as sexy as ever, and gabbin’ about her latest movie.”

    “Wait, what?!?,” I’ll ask out, and right around that time one, two, or all three of my testicles will ascend up into my body. I personally have never thought of Uma Thurman as anything other than……what’s the word I’m looking for……..oh yeah, Gross. Yet, here’s Ryan Seacrest telling me otherwise.

    There was a time when we could all agree on who was sexy and who was not. But it seems that over the course of the past decade or so our standards have sunk. Nowadays, any female celebrity who wears a tight dress or shows cleavage is considered sexy. And it ain’t just Uma.

    That being said, I present to you the Top Ten Ugliest Hot Chicks. All of these women get repeatedly labeled beautiful or hot or sexy or whatever and to all of them I simply say “nay.”

    No, I prefer to call them ugly. Or Fugly. Pugly, pug ugly, whatever.

    Seacrest out.

    Sarah Jessica ParkerSJP
    I heard Hollywood is interested in making a new version of ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ with SJP co-starring as the Wicked Witch of the West. However, the word on the street is that execs are worried that her face would scare away children and the elderly, not to mention me.

    Seriously, I don’t get her appeal. Give her a broom and make her wear a black pointy hat, and you’ve got a witch, but dress her in Dolce & Gabbana with some Jimmy Choos and you’ve got a fashion icon? I don’t know what spell she’s cast to make people think she’s beautiful, but apparently it’s got the right amount of ‘eye of newt.’ Other than women, I don’t know a lot of real men who think this lady is attractive; unless you find curly, matted hair, a long pointy nose, and a big ugly mole ‘cute.’

    Kate Bosworth
    I hear being in front of the camera makes you appear 15 lbs heavier, or so. According to my calculation, that makes Kate 11 lbs. Other than Jesus, she’s the only human who can walk on water. That’s how grotesquely thin she is. Honestly, I don’t know why we should even worry about starving children in Africa. They appear almost gluttonous compared to this dainty starlet. To people who say she’s ‘just thin,’ I would have to disagree. There are people who are ‘just’ thin, and then there are people who look like they’ve been ‘held prisoner in a concentration camp for 6 months’ and then there’s Kate Bosworth. Get the picture?

    Look, I loved her in “Blue Crush.” Hell, the tissue paper industry saw a brief surge in sales after the DVD release, but that was four years and 50 lbs ago. I mean this chick is so skinny her tits are are inverted. Both of her eye balls make up half of her weight. Do I need to continue?

    Julia RobertsRoberts
    I know what some of you peons are thinking. ‘Julia is so pretty!’ ‘She’s a beautiful, elegant woman.’ Well to that I say, fuck off, you’re wrong! Putting her on this list is almost unfair. She really deserves a lifetime achievement award for being so butt-ugly, and for fooling people into thinking she’s anything but that. First of all, her mouth is as wide as my size 12 foot.

    I mean, her mouth is enormous. I hear the 3000 teeth in her mouth actually get top billing in her new Broadway play; Julia is only a supporting cast member. And let’s not forget her nose. Those nostrils are so big; I just wanna go up in one of them and spelunk my way through her nasal cavity. I say this because I’m pretty sure they house a bat colony. The good news is she doesn’t do many movies anymore. She’s basically spending her time doing Broadway, and pulling couples around Central Park on carriage rides.

    Kirsten DunstDunst
    It may or may not be legal to murder someone as hideous as Kirsten Dunst. I don’t know; I’m not an attorney. What I do know is that the only reason why the paparazzi take photos of this ‘thing’ is so we can point and laugh and not feel so bad about our own shortcomings. For starters, look at her mouth. Every tooth appears to be pointed in a different direction, like a jagged cave or something. And sometimes she smiles for the camera in such a way that I literally throw up out of my ass. It’s weird.

    In every picture I see of her it looks like her hair was recently used to mop up puke. And she’s shaped like a ten year old boy. Her tits (I guess?) are nothing more than excess pieces of skin located in the place where breasts should be. I just threw up in my mouth.

    Uma ThurmanUma
    On paper she’s hot but in actuality, she’d be the most disappointing blind date of all time. “Oh you’ll like her. She’s tall with long blonde hair. And fit…”

    Technically, it’s not fair to add Uma on this list, as I am 99% sure she’s a man. First of all, no woman is that ugly. His gigantic hands, droopy eyes, stringy hair, elephantitis of the feet, and protruding chin are dead giveaways. Uma would come right after Herman Munster in the worlds’ best looking people, no offense Herman. It was her birth that gave birth to the medical term, “ambiguous genitalia.”

    Penelope CruzCruz
    I didn’t even know this deflated version of Salma Hayek costarred in Blow until the closing credits rolled. I seriously thought Johnny Depp’s character was doing a skinny Spanish boy. Speaking of Blow, it seems every film she’s in does just that. The best thing about this girl is that you don’t see her in movies anymore. She looks more like a Chihuahua than a human, which is ironic because she’s actually from Chihuahua, Mexico. Actually, I don’t know if that’s true or not.

    Teri HatcherHatcher
    They were real and they were spectacular on Seinfeld, but now they’re anything but. How much botox can one human endure? This lady is so unsightly; the tide wouldn’t take her out. She looks like a cross between Lady Elaine from the Mr. Rogers Show and a transvestite. She’d be perfect as ‘Medusa’ in the Clash of the Titans, or Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Somebody needs to tell her to get back to Castle Grayskull pronto.

    Drew BarrymoreDrew
    Barrymore is a mystery that has confounded my testicles for decades. I just don’t get it. She looks like the kind of girl who would destroy a bathroom and be proud of it. Like she’d walk out and say, “Hey guys, check out the skid marks I left in there! I threw down on that porcelain.” Her face looks remarkably like a goldfish, and I’ve never really had a thing for fish. All I can say is, you probably don’t have much going for you if you get divorced by Tom Green.

    Mena SuvariMena
    There was always something I couldn’t figure out about American Pie. All the guys gave Chris Klein’s character shit because he was attracted to a drama chick. What I couldn’t understand was why they weren’t giving him shit for liking an ugly girl. She doesn’t have a forehead; more of a five or sixhead. It’s so big, in fact, that she cannot attend any of her own movie premiers because the theater crew will often mistakenly try to project the movie off of it.

    Renee ZellwegerZellwegger
    I like women as much as the next guy who also has a 9’’ piece when flaccid, but I wouldn’t stick my penis in her if it was on fire and her vagina was the only way to extinguish it. Her face, that look she has in every single photo ever taken of her, looks like a puckered anus. It’s as if God sneezed while he was making her: “Whoops, better fix this. Ah, fuck it. It’s getting late. I got church in the morning.”

    “Chopper, sic balls!”

    By Doug on September 12th, 2006

    Junk_Yard_Dog___Sylvester_Ritter_021.jpgI saw an anti-marijuana commercial where this guy is running through a junkyard being chased by a dog. And the voiceover was something like, “Yesterday my friends told me to smoke marijuana and I did. Today they told me to outrun this junkyard dog. My friends have gotten me to do a lot of stupid things.”

    C’mon. Even if you don’t smoke weed you know there’s no real comparison between those two. Yes I understand both could be detrimental to your health. But a junkyard dog could definitely kill you. And fast. A hell of a lot faster than a joint.

    It’d be a ridiculous idea to try to outrun a pitbull. There’s no way it can end good. I mean, his friends might as well have told him to get in a shootout with police or wander through a minefield. Or better yet, his friends should have had him start a fight with me.

    Kinda cool, but a little past their prime

    Heavy rockers Metallica will appear in an episode of the hit TV show The Simpsons in September. The hitmakers will be special guests in the first episode of the cartoon’s 18th season and recorded their voiceovers last autumn. Metallica follow fellow rockers The Rolling Stones, U2, Aerosmith and George Harrison who have all become animated guest stars on the show. [Source]

    It’s good to see the masters of metal joining sides with our favorite family. Metallica and the Simpsons have a lot more in common than you may think. They both redefined their respective genres and permanently altered pop culture history. Both have built themselves into multimillion-dollar-a-year commercial brand names. And they both should have stopped doing what they are doing about ten years ago while they were still relevant and people actually liked them.

    The boy with no bellybutton

    By Doug on June 16th, 2006

    I have to admit, every time I visited Grood I got a little freaked out. We had an ad for the upcoming TV show Kyle XY and ‘Kyle’ creeped me out. I think it had something to do with the fact that he kind of looks like a baby. Am I the only one?

    When you click this link, you’re taken to a pic of Kyle holding up his shirt exposing his abs just like a classic MySpace photo (subliminal influence anyone?). And it’s not just that; what’s even more disturbing is Kyle’s lack of a bellybutton. I mean, if I didn’t have a bellybutton the last thing I’d be doing is showing off my abs, even if they were of washboard status.

    Plus, as a co-founder of Grood, not only did I see him everytime I loaded the site, but there’s also a fairly impressive marketing campaign for the show in southern California. Kyle and his non-bellybutton can also be spotted in local malls and on a giant billboard across from WB Studios. Good job ABC Family. Who knew you had all that money?

    However, with all that said, I’m going to go ahead and TiVo this thing. It looks like a cross between Smallville and The 4400. If you’re into that sort of thing.
