Honestly, Ned I will sick this on you:

Actually no, I'm keeping that for myself.

Daria all the way.

I took one of those internet tests and apparently, I *AM* Trent. Nothing interferes with my bass-playing or my nap schedule.

― kate, Friday, 20 September 2002 17:29 (twenty-three years ago)

God, a Trent/Tiffany conversation would have been the greatest thing ever. (Second only to Trent and Jake's surges of manliness during the musical.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 20 September 2002 17:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Listen Jerry, you're creeping me out the way you're perving over the poor cartoons. Although Trent was kinda hot.

I still say Beavis and Butthead.

― Mandee, Friday, 20 September 2002 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Daria, by a very long way.

Consider many a Sailor Moon fan

Great example - Tim B and I know one well, and this is one of many very bad signs about him.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 20 September 2002 17:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Can we PLEASE not drag Sailor Moon into this?

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 20 September 2002 18:01 (twenty-three years ago)

To be honest, i wouldn't want to sleep with a girl that didn't relate to Daria.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 20 September 2002 18:11 (twenty-three years ago)

If Daria did videos I would be all for it, but Beavis and Butthead did too many classic moments commenting on Pavements' dirty bathtub and how they could rock if they only tried or Tom Waits playing under a table or even Morphine.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 20 September 2002 18:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Daria, but both are far better than anything else that ever aired on MTV.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 20 September 2002 18:14 (twenty-three years ago)

did anyone else see the one where Jane decides to become a cheerleader? she looks exactly like modern-day Kathleen Hanna!

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 20 September 2002 19:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Yum Yum Gimme Sum!

Hi, we're the Vines.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 20 September 2002 20:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Daria all the way. Downtown ain't half bad, either.

― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 20 September 2002 22:16 (twenty-three years ago)

modern day kathleen hanna = *swoon*

for the record, i say daria.

― sand.y, Friday, 20 September 2002 22:21 (twenty-three years ago)

B+B >>>> Daria. Daria = smug, self-satisfied sums her up, but most fatally, not very funny. B+B OTOH alarmingly accurate portrayal of suburban youth with access to too much sugar and MTV and VERY FUNNY INDEED. No one has ever explained the mystery quiet/loud dynamic more eloquently.

― RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 20 September 2002 22:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Have people forgotten how funny Beavis and Butthead was??

THANKYOU RICKY T!!

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 20 September 2002 22:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I like both shows, but Daria is much more of a salve for my wounded ego.
Kate - where is this survey? is it still online?

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Friday, 20 September 2002 22:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Like I can accept the critical judgements of someone who thinks Carter USM is the shizit.

I say both shows are funny in different ways.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 20 September 2002 22:46 (twenty-three years ago)

...the mystery of the quiet/loud dynamic...

― RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 20 September 2002 22:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Someone I knew once wrote a huge thing on Carter USM for our school magazine in which he called them "loud but subtle". If only I'd remembered that before titling my article.

Daria should listen to more Carter.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 20 September 2002 23:13 (twenty-three years ago)

hmmph to everyone

(except nabisco and some other people)

― Graham (graham), Friday, 20 September 2002 23:18 (twenty-three years ago)

"loud but subtle"

My favorite mock critical phrase is "minimalist yet expansive"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 21 September 2002 00:23 (twenty-three years ago)

DARIA! DARIA! DARIA!

― nory (nory), Saturday, 21 September 2002 00:29 (twenty-three years ago)

The more I think about this the more I think B&B blows Daria away. Daria not even the best thing they re-run on Noggin. Mike Judge has yet to do wrong by me.

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 21 September 2002 01:05 (twenty-three years ago)

CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENT:

― mark s (mark s), Saturday, 21 September 2002 09:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I think that settles it, then.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 21 September 2002 10:28 (twenty-three years ago)

B-b-but Mark, what about the tv version of Das Boot?!?!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Saturday, 21 September 2002 11:35 (twenty-three years ago)

DARIA!

By miles and miles, one of the funniest ever moments on TV was when they were going on the military camp trip and one of them asks the psycho bulging eye teacher "will we have a buddy system", and he goes "I had a buddy ONCE, then I got home and he'd MARRIED MY MOTHER!!!!!!" totally fucking freaking. It was classic.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 21 September 2002 12:01 (twenty-three years ago)

"Beavis & Butthead" may well be the most overrated thing in the world, ever. That it's a "alarmingly accurate portrayal of suburban youth with access to too much sugar and MTV", because frankly those suburban youths are a lot more entertaining IRL than B&B ever were.

― Daniel_Rf, Saturday, 21 September 2002 12:15 (twenty-three years ago)

''biba k*pf likes daria: i think it is the only TV light-entertainment diversion he has been known to approve of, apart from berlin alexanderplatz obv''

daria wins by a mile. grateful dead fans are always right!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 21 September 2002 14:54 (twenty-three years ago)

See? Ronan is always right.

Also I think everyone who's harping on Daria's being humorless has not watched enough of the show: the whole premise was that Daria wandered around observing the hilarious antics of everyone else and dropping in a bon mot every sixth minute or so. In the end it was quite possibly more about Quinn than Daria.

― nabisco (nabisco), Saturday, 21 September 2002 15:34 (twenty-three years ago)

(Also Daria's dad totally looks like Nory's dad.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Saturday, 21 September 2002 15:35 (twenty-three years ago)

they're both good, but i could never get excited about daria. i would seek out beavis and butthead, after austin stories, they were the best mtv times.

― ron (ron), Saturday, 21 September 2002 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

what we need, Nabisco (especially my pal Tim B, who adores her) is a real world Jane Lane.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 21 September 2002 15:58 (twenty-three years ago)

So wait, you know Nory, Nabisco? Who is this good soul? I've liked the Nory posts so far. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 21 September 2002 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

norys got some good early buzz going on

― boxcubed (boxcubed), Saturday, 21 September 2002 17:18 (twenty-three years ago)

"i like a beer buzz first thing in the morning"

― ron (ron), Saturday, 21 September 2002 17:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Daria by far. Surprised the Digital Archive Project hasn't picked it (or Austin Stories) up yet.

― Chris Barrus (xibalba), Saturday, 21 September 2002 19:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I really don't think Daria's dad looks like my dad, at all.

(and I'm glad you've liked my posts, Ned)

― nory (nory), Saturday, 21 September 2002 23:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Hurrah for Nory! :-) Yer welcome.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 22 September 2002 01:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Quinn was the Xander, Daria's dad was the Bez.

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 22 September 2002 03:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Daria = Ghost World. Therefore = SHIT!

― david h (david h), Sunday, 22 September 2002 07:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Beavis and Butthead, easily. I like Daria but I'm a bit bored of it. B&B episodes are so much shorter and funnier! But then again I am pretty close to obsessed.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 22 September 2002 10:00 (twenty-three years ago)

SANDY IS THE BEZ!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 22 September 2002 12:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Haven't seen B&B so can't comment, but I've liked quite a bit of Daria. nabisco seems to be OTM.

― Ess Kay (esskay), Sunday, 22 September 2002 12:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Daria was funnier on Beavis and Butthead.

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 22 September 2002 22:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Beavis and Butthead, easy. I used to love Daria but on rewatching it kept getting annoyed w/D's all-too-easy teenage girl cynicism... too many large, slowmoving targets. The best characters are worth watching it for though; Upchuck, the football player and his girlfriend, Daria's dad. Jane Lane and her dickhead brother bugged me.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 23 September 2002 00:36 (twenty-three years ago)

'what we need, Nabisco (especially my pal Tim B, who adores her) is a real world Jane Lane. ' -Martin

I suspect a real world Claire Defoe, if only to evade the child-molesting charges... unless I'm sent back in time or something...

Actually, there IS a real-world Clair. She's married to a friend of mine, sadly (and typically) ...

― Tim Bateman, Monday, 23 September 2002 10:57 (twenty-three years ago)

two years pass...

Almost everyone in this thread was CRAZY. Daria is mildly amusing every couple minutes, B&B is non-stop lols.

Discuss.

― Sansai, Thursday, 23 September 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I concur. End of discussion.

whos going to look for daria slash

thank you, internet, for making me hate Daria

Daria-309: A parallel universe created by Ranger Thorne that closely resembles D-320; in this reality, Robert Nelson and Jane Lane are Ringbearers, while Daria Morgendorffer has become a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

Of course.

I will never hate Daria, but I will continue to hate crazy internet people.

This is a steaming pile of shit (surprise surprise).

You looked it up? You have a stronger stomach and more courage than I ever will.

"What impasse?" Jane said. She felt lightheaded. No doubt it was due to the blood loss. Jane's legs felt drenched in it. SHe was trying to keep her anger up so that she didn't have to think about it and possibly throw up.

I hate it when my legs are drenched in blood loss.

It’s a strong likelihood the show’s pop soundtrack won’t make it to the DVDs – the very few releases so far have either replaced it with generic background music or nothing at all. It probably won’t matter to most, but I watched the series a lot on original broadcast and will always associate certain scenes with the music – Monaco’s “What Do You Want from Me” playing when Daria dressed up as Quinn, for example.

― Duane Barry, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:23 (sixteen years ago)

This really ruined the 21 Jump Street dvd, Johnny Depp or no.

― Detroit Metal City (Nicole), Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:31 (sixteen years ago)

so:

- State on DVD this month
- Dario on DVD next year
- "MTV2 Legit" = one hour a week of Beavis & Butthead, the Max, Aeon Flux, the State, and old MTV bumpers

all I need to do is take a vow of celibacy and start a band, and I can officially regress to exactly what I did with my spare time in high school

― nabisco, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:33 (sixteen years ago)

haha "dario"

― nabisco, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:33 (sixteen years ago)

I even tivo'ed mtv2 legit, I feel so pathetic.

― Detroit Metal City (Nicole), Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:34 (sixteen years ago)

I did too, but it's sort of unsatisfying -- it's mostly Beavis & Butthead w/o the videos, which isn't that good; the Max and Aeon Flux stuff is cut up into tiny out-of-context bits that are just like general reminders of what they were like; and my enjoyment of 90s MTV programming does not extend to needing to have Coolio videos on my DVR

― nabisco, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:39 (sixteen years ago)

they need to bring back Oddville

Yes, it was pretty disappointing -- it would be better if they expanded it, and included full episodes of B&B and Liquid Television. It's not like there's a lot of people flocking to MTV2 on Friday nights.

― Detroit Metal City (Nicole), Thursday, 9 July 2009 20:10 (sixteen years ago)

ten months pass...

So has anybody else got the Daria DVD set? The whole music issue hasn't turned out so bad - the replacement soundtrack captures the feel of the original, though in a couple of cases it jars (like in the "Everybody Hurts" video reference).

The extras are fun, but a bit scanty; there's barely anything to the cast interviews.

But it's great to have the entire series on top-quality DVD.
