The 4 Best Dramas Of The Last 25 Years

"there is no fucking way that anything that airs on tv - except on local access community channels maybe - is folk anything"

america's folkiest home videos!

"there is no fucking way that anything that airs on tv - except on local access community channels maybe - is folk anything"

so would this make tim and eric awesome show folk-art or at least some simulacrum of folk-art?!?

(jesus, this is like i'm back in a 1990s-era 400-level english/comp lit criticism class)

i think tim + eric's stuff is obv very influenced by folk art, but i don't think it is folk art itself

tom goes to the mayor was folk art, at least when it was a crappy web thing by two dorks, though that doesn't violate the "not-on-tv" rule.

once you are a product being sold by a major international corporation to consumers throughout the world, i think you are no longer folk art. if you were folk art before that happened, you have likely being co-opted

been*

i am kinda o_O at a definition of "folk art" that would include Youtube videos like "I Don't Want My Pizza Burning" and anything by wendyvainity (though it makes sense).

It's totally folk art. Whether one's prescriptive and unevolving view of folk art allows them to accept it as such is a whole other issue.

total derail but anybody who likes folk art should go to the Smithsonian American Art Museum to look at the folk art collection especially

^^ mostly cardboard and tinfoil

Nine times out of ten, I prefer folk art to Fine Art.

so much coruscating schizo-religious weirdness

otm so much

yeah me too

can we talk abt decoupage next?

Ugh, I could never take decoupage seriously, what with all of these obnoxious decoupage fans commenting on decoupage websites and dressing up like decoupage to go to their decoupage conventions. This has nothing to do with anxiety induced by a perceived threat to the rickety scaffolding of my precisely-curated Cool Guy identity. Because I can assure you that it will take more than the mere acknowledgement and passive acceptance of that which lies outside of my Sphere of Snobbery to send my sense of self collapsing into the void. I assure you.

I was about to get all huffy bc I did some decoupage in high school, lol

we could make this the clusterfuck of the century

I can't decide which kraken is cuter

I'll take them both

Huh, I was confusing "decoupage" with "decolletage."

irl lols

dying over here

xp - the latter is relevant to some people's appreciation of Mad Men. The former is a derail.

It would make for the first derail in this thread, afaict.........

Huh, I was confusing "decoupage" with "decolletage."

VegGrrl has used both words in the last two days! No joke: Yesterday I saw her post about "decolletage" on the Mad Men thread and asked my wife what it meant. When I found out, I said, "Huh. Why did I think it had to do with interior decoration?" Then, this afternoon, I saw her post upthread and was like "Oh, that's why!"

I like french words starting with "de" I guess

or boobs + collage

admit it, you're excited

jeepers i love all these shows. impossible choice!!!

Can't believe it's taken someone this long to admit it.

thinking omar little should vote for the show that gave him his dn

yeah i loved little omar van zandt on the sopranos

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

good results

I think I'm the only person on the planet that couldn't get into The Wire.

like...The Wire is exactly twice as good as Breaking Bad, 2.4 times as good as The Sopranos and 6 times better than Mad Men? yeah, that sounds right.

does The Wire improve significantly after season 1?

It gets better but if you don't dig season 1 I don't think it's for you. Kinda weird results, i guess the Sopranos' stock has fallen as The Wire's has risen. It certainly doesn't deserve to be behind Breaking Bad, much as i love that show

the wire is the best of the lot. but breaking bad is not better than the sopranos, end of story.

100 votes exactly. Nice.

when come back bring pie chart
