Cloudy drink kills frog: the Onion's "Sex House"

10 sounds likely

frog moving diagonally across the floor during frank / hockeymask scene is some next-level shit

Yeah, I was just about to comment on that. It was perfectly framed.

"you could have had it all, sex house"

God, the annotations.

"Thumbs up for the Sybian repairman."

omg i just watched all eight of them

fucking incredible

otm

Feeling slightly ill after this ep.

I just watched it a second time. Arguably harder to get through than the first time.

sex house i love you, but you're making me feel bad about the universe.

"juicy dugout"

love the shot of the frogs having sex in the preview for next week

hoooooly shiiiiit

was this the first time we saw shots of the camera crew? It's kind of weird to think of them as also being trapped there

That is the surreal part of it, in that the camera crew is omnipresent but invisible. They don't exist in the context of the show and we are not to question their plight.

lol, came here to mention that

we've seen the camera crews in earlier eps. Glimpses, at least.

juicy dugout is tremendous

yes, it is

after watching this i actually got a jolt of fear when i stood up and knocked over a pair of sunglasses, thinking it was a frog

i am having a hard time believing that a room full of mold would fuck you up that bad that quick. like maybe it's a special kind of death mold or something.

fuck, just that there is a show featuring a "room full of mold"

calm down bro

p. sure the lethal quality of mold is being overstated here

That's whats hilarious- that the mold is that intense and deadly. Kids don't hide moldy pumpernickels in your armoires. The more you know.

i'm currently enjoying the live commentary of a friend watching it for the first time and still feeling that it's a mere reality show parody. looking 4wd 2 his corruption.

haha i totally forget there was a point when we were all "that indie girl is so spot on"

pumpernickel literally means "devil farts". now we know why.

see i have felt queasy about every ep thus far and now i'm like deciding in a pretty vexing, what-are-my-values way whether or not i want to even bother

but it's just getting good!

odds on the entire cast getting executed offscreen by a group of producers who turn out to be imprisoned themselves?

low, yeah

crüt showed up at work today and after a few minutes he turned around and said "oh shit, it's thursday. new sex house episode!" i told him he was not ready. none of us were.

Curious as to the exact moment when this turned from show parody to survival-horror

I was going to say it was when they couldn't leave the house, but people on Big Brother can't leave either, right? Maybe when the food started getting moldy.

blast of hot air hits tara in ep. 2

Oh yeah, that seemed like a small thing at the time, but fairly serious in retrospect.

i love how this ep included both a self-defense killing and the murder of an innocent sybian repairman, just to keep things horrible

Did Frank actually kill the guy in the mask? Looked like he just hit him on the back of the head with a glass.

loved that, btw. mask looks to beat frank's head in with a club, just going to town, but frank toughs it out. then cold wipes the mask with one bottle (or glass or w/e) blow to the back of the head. like a sack of potatoes.

Yeah, they're hanging the mask guy up afterwards, the voiceover is I think asking for them to release him.

"Has there been much buzz/discussion about this elsewhere on the internet?"

There is a long thread on Something Awful. It is awful. People are shouted down for suggesting that Frank is not a rapist.

The phrase "rape culture" appears in the thread 8 million and six times.

I have no problem with that except I'd assume SA is in favour?

No, they're definitely ag'in it, but the reading of Frank's character is very tonedeaf, college-freshman/Marc Loi-style.

Caught up on all this last night. Brilliant, hilarious etc. but it inspired some of the most vivid and terrifying nightmares I've *ever* had.

Frank is so awful and all of my biggest lols have come from him. Him being photographed in that horrible bondage mask. Esp. esp. when they were all fucked up on cloudy drink. "We were in the kitchen enjoying the yellow lines. FRANK came in with his BLUE lines." The way he says "explore each others' bodies" in the same ep, so creepy. Any time he talks about his wife or daughters. Just brutal. And hilarious.

I do have a tiny bit of sympathy for him for being so clearly the bottom of the pecking order. Tombstone pizza prize winner!

agreed but I thought it was a Lara Branigan Self Control vid "suggested Italian orgy" type mask, which is even worse/more fitting

yeah, that was an eyes wide shut kinda thing

I'm hopeful this show won't just get lower and lower, since it's already hovering somewhere near "Hostel"-level, but I have a bad feeling about this.
