29JunObscure Shows You Must Watch

tv-l.jpgI’m going to list some shows that I’ve found on cable that you must watch:

Live At Gotham -Fri@Midnight - Comedy Central. A definite TIVO show. A comedy showcase, which usually features 4 or 5 unknown comics and a great revolving host. Usually 3 or 4 of the comics suck, but you usually get someone really good. Last week Dan Boulger was fantastic.

How It’s Made -Daily- Discovery. I want to meet the guy, who thought of this. I mean he’s sitting in a room of Discovery Channel execs and says “Hey, here’s the idea. We get a cameraman to go into factories and video tape how stuff’s made. Then we’ll have a narrator explain what’s happening so that blind people or retards can enjoy it too.” I could honestly watch this show for days. I love highlighting it and hitting the info button to see what’s going to be on. “I could watch the 3 hour Pre-NBA Draft show, or I could watch how rivets are made. The choice is simple!” Although, I have to admit, when I watch I’m not impressed with how things are made, but who the hell came up with these wacky assembly machines that make them. It’s a damn crazy world we live in.

National Open House -HGTV. Basically they pick 3 or 4 cities and then show what house you can get for various prices up to 1 million bones. I like seeing what I can get, which is cool, but there are 2 things I don’t like. The families you meet. I like the “poor” families cause they’re honest people that aren’t looking to impress anyone. How can you impress someone with a 500 sq ft. studio apartment in downtown Omaha. It’s the million dollar home families I hate, especially the one’s who are “trying to escape city life.” Shut up. I don’t want to hear about your custom made fireplace made from recycled Skor bar wrappers. The other thing I hate, is when they show the million dollar homes in cities like Boise, they’re absolutely stunning. However, I feel at the end of the segment they should say: “Yes, for a million dollars you can buy this 10,000 sq. foot dream home made from the left over marble that Michelangelo used to make David’s left testicle. However, to enjoy it you must live in BOISE, IDAHO. That’s right, where it’s winter for 9 months in the year, and cattle out number people 20 to 1.”

TIKIBAR TV -Monthly Podcast. Yeah, this is brilliant. For 2 reasons. First, each month they come up with a new drink concoction or game. Second, how they hell did 2 goofy guys land such a hot chick to take part in their booze bonanza? Watch it, love it, and lover her! Also, check out the Bunny Game, a true classic. isizephp.jpg

Flight of the Conchords -Sundays- HBO. I have to admit that I’ve passed out both times I’ve watched the show. Thank you, Mr. Sam Adams. However, when I’m awake, I love what I see. Very offbeat. One of those you love it or hate it shows. Beware of funny songs! But, it’s my guess that she left because he turned on the lights.

So those are 5 shows, which I am currently into. 1 show that I currently hate is Sportscenter. The guys over at ESPN are just trying too hard. Show me highlights, make an occasional SMART remark, and let it be. I don’t need to hear Stuart Scott come up with some hip, ghetto term for every f’n thing he sees. Get him and that tub of lard Boomer off there, since it was his Barry “US” Bonds junk that started the whole thing.

That’s it, my Sportscenter rant is over.

27JunI’m Smoking Dope With Johnny Dakota


You’re a fool if you don’t want to smoke dope with Johnny Dakota.

Johnny Dakota.

Johnny Dakota is a brilliant stage name.

It works for porn stars and action flick heroes, but not so much for classically trained actors. Let’s examine. Which of these movies would Johnny Dakota not star in?

A) Sawed off Shotgun: Starring Johnny Dakota

B) So You Think You Can Hump Vol. 3: Starring Johnny Dakota

C) A Poet’s Love: Starring Johnny Dakota

Obviously it’s C, but that doesn’t mean we can throw Johnny Dakota away. Just because Vince Vaughn’s only serious role came as a bully football player in Rudy, doesn’t mean that he is a worthless piece of crap. He has a value in our society, much like Mr. Dakota.

Johnny Dakota offers dope, or “pot” if you will, to cute, impressionable high school kids.

Shouldn’t we shun him like polio or Tim Meadows? Absolutely not. You say he offers high school kids dope, I say he was nice enough to invite them to a real swanky Hollywood party. I don’t hear about any of the kid stars from 7th Heaven inviting local kids over to bask in the glory and decadence of a Hollywood party. And here you are spouting your undying love of Simon. Has he ever invited you to one of his keggers or Mickie Mixers? Yeah, me neither. I’m still waiting for my Evite. But Johnny Dakota Steps up to the plate. So Johnny Dakota 1. Simon 0.

Johnny Dakota is a hypocrite.

Sure is he his. So he smokes a doobie at night and does Anti-Drug PSA’s by day. But who hasn’t? I mean, I remember one time when I did Ecstasy in a Denny’s parking lot at 4am with a East German Trans-Sexual Prostitute named Olga, only to attend a rally to ban the letter E from the alphabet because it promotes drug use to Pre-K kids. Did I have egg on my face? Sure. But honestly, tell me a time when you haven’t gotten hopped up on a meth lab creation, then wake up to tell your kids or your neighbors dog that you were wrong for doing it. You can’t, so leave Johnny alone.

Johnny Dakota has no fashion sense.

Since when are you too good to wear a multi-color blazer? Hmmm??? If you ask me, I think it’s a great way to spice up a black tee/jean combo. Some people prefer platinum chains, denim jackets or puffy L.L. Bean Vests, but not me. Just wait, within 5 years that jacket will be hot again. And when it is, I will be the first person that is let in at the Peach Pit After Dark. Secondly, the purple coat that Johnny gave to Zack showed a bit of Johnny’s ghetto heritage. That’s right, Johnny Dakota doesn’t forget where he came from.

So while all of you at home may think that Johnny Dakota is a loser and an abuser, I’m here to set the record straight that Johnny Dakota is the essence of cool. So don’t hate on my brother from another mother and show Mr. Dakota the love that he deserves. After all ladies, if you’re willing to wear a tangerine floral print dress, Johnny’s willing to take it off!

26JunI Love Six: The Six Most High Maintenance Women on TV

High Maintenance Women. These are the ladies that require just bit more TLC. And by a bit more, I mean these bloodsucking bimbos will will leave you with zero time, money, or self-esteem. They are generally very attractive and know it, after all you need some kind of reward for putting up with that BS. So let’s take a look at who on TV would be included as a high maintenance chick.

120px-agnes_skinner.png#6 - Agnes Skinner - The Simpsons. Agnes means lamb, lamb of god. However, even Jesus Christ himself would have a tough time not slapping this old bag around. Agnes requires dutiful attention from her son Seymour. Whether it’s Friday Night Silhouettes or not being at the line leader, Seymour, or should I say Arman Tanzarian, can do no right in the eyes of Agnes.

030329cohn140.jpg#5 - Linda Cohen - Sportscenter. I actually have little proof that she is high maintenance, but all the signs are there. First of all, if you were married to her, she’d put you down all the time. Like “Hey, I know I’m the one that hosts Sportscenter, but maybe you could be the man for once and take out the fuckin’ trash you pansy.” Granted, I’m assuming she has a violent temper and talks like a Tractor Training School Employee, but it wouldn’t surprise me. Also, I could see her saying “Hey honey, remember how I’m the one that pays for this nice house and your ‘93 Toyota Echo? Well maybe you could return the favor and get me another class of Jack Daniels.” Again, I’m taking a few liberties, like she’s an alcoholic, who buys economy class cars, but it’s worth exploring. So unless you want to be emasculated on a daily basis, stay clear of this dame.

jenna-fischer-biography-2.jpg#4 - Jenna Fischer - The Office. But Clint, she seems so nice. True, but I have found 2 very simple truths in life. First, don’t trust anyone that seems way too happy all the time. I’ve found that these people tend not to have all their lights on at home. Second, no one is ever THAT NICE. It’s true, people who come across as just the nicest people in the world, often have a complete opposite side at home, when no one, but their unsuspecting spouse is watching. That’s when they start bad mouthing people and bossing you around. Why? Because then they’re spouses can’t complain. Honestly, if Jenna Fischer’s husband came up and said “That girl is a rotten whore, who can’t be trusted.” Would you believe him? Nopes. Perfectly played Ms. Fischer, bravo to you and your image people. But I’m on to you!

1fnlain06.jpg#3 - Minka Kelly - Friday Night Lights. Ms. Lyla Garrity. Plays a high maintenance cheerleader on TV. But guaranteed she carries it over at home. She’s hot and she knows it. She’s not going to settle for anything less than Filet Mignon and a bottle of Yellowtail. She’s got more moxy and sass than a southern granny. This chick has got class. Now the question is, would you put up with her in order to brag to your buddies that you’re with her? Ummm, hells yeah it is. Have you seen her?

patricia_heaton.jpg#2 - Patricia Heaton - Everybody Loves Raymond. Straight up, she’s a bitch. Even in interviews with her, she has the arrogant high self worth that only tons of plastic surgery and lipo can bring to a woman. She does realize that she wasn’t the star of the show, right? Here’s a challenge, write a 4 sentence paragraph countering the argument that she isn’t a bitch. Go ahead, I’m waiting.

smurfette_smurfs_.jpg#1 - Smurfette - The Smurfs. Let’s see. She’s the only female. She’s surrounded by a bunch of shirtless blue freaks that would do anything for her. This high maintenance woman is produced from the law of supply and demand. She has all the chips in her favor. She has every right to do and say what she wants. She would be the complete antithesis of Ms. Heaton. So Smurfette, go ahead and make Brainy and Grandpa do what they can to get you by their sides. You deserve it you sexy ass smurf!

Other notables: The cast of Desperate Housewives, Hilary Clinton, Ryan Seacrest, Parker’s wife on Heroes, and of course Sarah Silverman.
