This show is pretty amusing, but I feel like people are kind of overselling it itt.

haha yeah. it's picked up with the last couple of eps though (7/8)

k3vin k., Saturday, 1 September 2012 01:57 (thirteen years ago)

I learned about it from this thread which starts with "how dark can it go" so I think I might have come at it from the wrong angle.

wk, Saturday, 1 September 2012 02:07 (thirteen years ago)

yup, overselling

No, that last?! ;_;

For now, maybe, but...second season on its way!

Thought it dragged a bit through the middle episodes, but that finale made it all worthwhile.

"We should put it back up" is perfect.

Catharsis achieved. Bravo Onion dudes.

'little D.V has never urinated' omg.

Spikey, Friday, 7 September 2012 09:28 (thirteen years ago)

there should be some meaningful award for this thing, it fucking ruled.

we don't wanna miss a THING!!! (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Friday, 7 September 2012 13:20 (thirteen years ago)

given the end of series credit roll and the fact that it clocks in at right around 40 minutes, it looks like a given that this will show up as an hour special on IFC. I will tape the shit outta that.

"Should they eat the Goon instead? Comment!"

tubular, mondo, gnabry (Merdeyeux), Friday, 7 September 2012 23:48 (thirteen years ago)

didn't catch this:
"Erin did not have a baby. What she was holding/calling her baby was the dildo from the sybian. That is why they pixilate it everytime you see it, why it has never urinated, why the blanket she is making for it is long and narrow, and why they named it after that dildo, Danny Volmer.  It reinforces that everyone in Sex House has gone nuts."

Fetchboy, Saturday, 8 September 2012 21:52 (thirteen years ago)

wow. i just assumed there was a huge time jump.

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Saturday, 8 September 2012 21:54 (thirteen years ago)

yeah I was wondering why 9 mos later everyone's hair was the same length; I just figured it was due to small budget

ms fotheringham (Crabbits), Saturday, 8 September 2012 22:00 (thirteen years ago)

I'm gonna go ahead and call a "Kubrik faked the moon landings and confesses it all in the Shining" on that sybian dildo revelation. Amusing basement dweller fantasy, but not a good read of the material.

Three Word Username, Monday, 10 September 2012 09:15 (thirteen years ago)

wait, no, i thought it was TOTALLY clear that it was some object from the house, not an actual baby, but it didn't occur to me it was the dildo, that's brilliant

Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 10 September 2012 13:53 (thirteen years ago)

The script originally called for a real baby but they couldn't get medical clearance to bring one on set, because of the mold.

Plasmon, Monday, 10 September 2012 13:56 (thirteen years ago)

The baby hadn't signed the legal releases, yet.

Kids get pixelated on reality shows constantly. It's standard practice.

Three Word Username, Monday, 10 September 2012 20:00 (thirteen years ago)

it would have been like a six inch long baby guys it was obviously not the baby

la goonies (k3vin k.), Monday, 10 September 2012 22:15 (thirteen years ago)

this is also a good reality show about settlers of catan:

no mold or dildo babies but someone does drama.

Philip Nunez, Monday, 10 September 2012 22:30 (thirteen years ago)

Knocked this down in one sitting, and I'm glad I watched it that way. Like some have also mentioned, I experienced the captivated/horrified thing, and and for that reason it really lent itself to the all-in-one-go treatment. I'm not sure I'd have been able to stomach having to go back to it once things started getting really messed. I think its secret was how well disciplined was the timing of its descent from straight up reality show parody fakeout to complete macabre absurdity. Pitch perfect. Not sure how I'd recommend it to people in a way that captured what kept me watching it, though. Trying to think of some antecedents but it's pretty unique!

Fiendish Doctor Wu (kingfish), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 04:11 (thirteen years ago)

It's not? Then my vulcan spotting ability is way off

Fiendish Doctor Wu (kingfish), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 04:45 (thirteen years ago)
