Rank the Musical Hotties of MTV's "The Real World" (First Four Seasons Only)

As long as Jeph Loeb exists, Judd is bulletproof imo.

When you put it that way, I find it hard to argue.

until judd gives us something like this he's fine

I always really wanted to introduce Rachel to the wonders of blotting paper.

She was very very shiny.

i was re-reading the beth comments from yesterday and felt a little bad

j/k

lol

haha

i feel like there are some major components of 90s mtv we still haven't covered yet, but maybe not?

;_; I can't find a clip featuring Sharon that I can play in the US

Guys, some of the older seasons are showing up on Hulu, so I finally got to see what the San Francisco season was about

The republican chick's crazy reactions to the fact there's a roommate with AIDS are sooo o_O even for the time

i don't mean to be all bill clinton but i think pedro + that season shifted the mainstream attitude to HIV considerably

No, I think you're right and that it totally did.

Although the castmates were informed ahead of time that they would be living with someone who was HIV-positive, they were not informed which housemate it would be.[8] On the cast's first night in the house, Campos’ housemate, AIDS educator Pedro Zamora, informed the housemates that he had AIDS by showing them his scrapbook of his career as an HIV educator. Campos felt uncomfortable and initially distanced herself from Zamora, stating that she wanted to know how his health status would affect her.

This blew my mind, because she knew about this, then managed to not learn anything about HIV/AIDS at all on her own, and expected him to fill her in on HOW IT WOULD AFFECT HER

horseshoe, I completely agree, but the level of self-centeredness kind of blew me away. Net positive for MTV-watching culture, bad look for repub girl

yeah i think it's kinda hard for people to remember how 0_o homosexuality and aids and whatnot were on the televised media well into the early 90s

i feel like there are some major components of 90s mtv we still haven't covered yet, but maybe not?

Liquid television?

the grunt brothers

I don't remember, did Rachel find out she didn't get into Stanford for grad school during the taping of the show?

how could we forget liquid television -- which sprung Beavis and Butthead on the world?!?

xpost: the Grunt Brothers was the most disgusting animated thing that i've ever seen on TV. and that includes anything on Adult Swim.

i did mention liquid television upthread for what it's worth

This blew my mind, because she knew about this, then managed to not learn anything about HIV/AIDS at all on her own, and expected him to fill her in on HOW IT WOULD AFFECT HER

Pedro should've been all "LOL just by touching this scrapbook you have AIDS now."

Have we discussed Aeon Flux yet?

I missed it, there are so many posts on this thread.

Aeon Flux top Level

do we prefer the early Aeon Fluxes -- where she always ended up a splat -- or the Aeon Fluxes with something resembling a plot?!?

I always loved making fun of Judd, and I feel vindicated now that he is such a terrible comic book guy.

WORST COMIC BOOK GUY EVER

shameful confession: I read and enjoyed a good portion of Judd's run on Exiles

Don't need to get into it, but he still writes better comics than fellow "celebrity writer" Kevin Smith

didn't judd do a graphic novel about the death of pedro?

haha also lol @ judd as a "celebrity"

Judd won an EISNER for his graphic novel about the death of Pedro IIRC

sorry, he was nominated but didn't win

r.i.p. will eisner its so sad you were talented and died specifically before you could see that

but yeah i remember seeing that book in barnes and noble or something and remembering dude was a failed cartoonist from the show and being a little "if this is secretly your attempt at breaking-in after all these years then icky, dude."

yeah, I had the same thought

then Puck called him out during a reunion show using the same argument and I had to ask myself some difficult questions

oh geez, I was thinking that he wrote/drew that a couple years after the show. it was published in 2000! gaaah

he was already getting notice/recognition for Barry Ween but the Pedro book was his real breakthrough

Yeah, I read further and noticed that. Barry Ween was not bad as an original thing, right?

I actually saw the show AFTER having seen some of his comics work and was impressed because a lot of dudes I know who are a lot like him crank out much worse material

then Puck called him out during a reunion show using the same argument and I had to ask myself some difficult questions

otm, when you're on the side of The Puck then it's time to look within

my incredulity at Judd's comics career has little to do with the quality of his work and everything to do with his portrayal on The Real World

although he is responsible for creating resurrecting Jason Todd as THE CLITORIS, er I mean RED HOOD

hahaha

what grant morrison never told anyone was that the black glove was originally supposed to be puck

I would love an alumni Real World season with Beth, Puck, Tami, CT, Karamo, Brooke, and Joey

someone would end up dead

(hopefully CT)

liquid television kicked ass

the first couple beavis and butthead clips really spoke to me

also there was the serial one with puppets about some kind of tough talking stripper/killer/biker chick? wow that could have been huge these days with all this zac snyder shit we're dealing with

I really think about 75% of my antipathy towards living in the countryside is due to growing up 15 minutes outside of the perimeter that had access to cable

do we prefer the early Aeon Fluxes -- where she always ended up a splat -- or the Aeon Fluxes with something resembling a plot?!?

Notes

A deleted scene shows the woman Trevor was kissing while Æon was falling slamming a door between her pelvic area repeatedly.
