two decent gags in a three minute video

Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 28 October 2016 14:53 (nine years ago)

I wish they hadn't given it the misleading subtitle 'A Gagfest'.

Three minutes and only one dance scene? Ridiculous.

I'd be interested in your thoughts about pop culture reappropriation sometime, Whiney. You're so uncharacteristically reticent to hold forth on that particular subject!

I'd be not interested in your thoughts about this EPIC MASH-UP of Calvin and Hobbes and Star Wars

DAE enjoy sharing quotes of movies like Anchorman with friends?

Only in E.T. voices for extra epic bacon

The piano gag needed a synthwave "Linus and Lucy".

jmm, Friday, 28 October 2016 15:27 (nine years ago)

I'm pitching a Robot Chicken spinoff that's basically the same show except that instead of action figures it'll be stop motion animation of mustachioed bacon and cupcakes in pirate costumes acting out Family Guy scenes while Buffy footage is projected behind them. They're only planning to run as many episodes as it takes to make Whiney's head explode.

Our local nerd-targeting bar, Side Quest, had its annual Halloween party/costume contest on Saturday and this group won:

Nice! Switched On is an awesome store, they repaired my PreSonus recording interface.

I coveted all the cool synths while I was there

Trailer for Season 2

Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Monday, 6 February 2017 06:43 (nine years ago)

lol at lack of response

must admit I am half-intrigued half-dreading

nashwan, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 19:49 (nine years ago)

I like the glimpse of Lovecraftian beastie

Number None, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 19:53 (nine years ago)

I'm very excited about this, although I admit the Ghostbusters costumes seem a little too much. Was hoping it would be another summer show though. Halloween seems forever away.

how's life, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 19:56 (nine years ago)

this show was mostly garbage

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:04 (nine years ago)

you're garbage

(•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:06 (nine years ago)

Mostly.

Lauren Schumer Donor (Phil D.), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:11 (nine years ago)

ok lol

goole, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:12 (nine years ago)

I'm not gonna watch that trailer, probably more fun to guess what super-obscure stuff they can rip-off this time like Gremlines or War Games

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:14 (nine years ago)

Theres almost zero content in that trailer

F♯ A♯ (∞), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:16 (nine years ago)

maybe they can have special glasses to see the upside down xp

(•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:17 (nine years ago)

Theres almost zero content in that trailer

cool, just like the show!

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:24 (nine years ago)

Shhh, I'm trying to come up with a "Gremlines" joke. It involves Nick Cannon, Phoebe Cates and heavy Photoshop work.

Lauren Schumer Donor (Phil D.), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:25 (nine years ago)

Trailer double downs on the intertexuality. As much as I like this show, it's crazy how hyped people get for nostalgia pablum.

Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:28 (nine years ago)

lol Phil

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:31 (nine years ago)

The people I know most into this show are 12, tbh, so the fact that they are so into it despite not getting most of the references says ... something. Maybe that it's successful for the same reasons the stuff it references/rips off was successful?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:41 (nine years ago)

It worked for us re: the 50s during the 80s

insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:47 (nine years ago)

You mean, like, the Stray Cats?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:49 (nine years ago)

the outsiders ?

(•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:49 (nine years ago)

more like Happy Days

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:50 (nine years ago)

haha yeah

(•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 20:51 (nine years ago)

well at least theres something to look forward to on halloween

F♯ A♯ (∞), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 21:43 (nine years ago)

I don't think I even grasped as a kid that Happy Days was nostalgia, I thought Milwaukee was just like that

Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 8 February 2017 22:52 (nine years ago)

same lol

Number None, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 23:01 (nine years ago)

To be fair, Happy Days itself was a spinoff from American Graffiti, which was the early seventies, which really wasn't that far removed from the fifties.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 23:15 (nine years ago)

Happy Days was a spinoff from Love American Style

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 23:20 (nine years ago)

that ran through 1984, and was heavily syndicated throughout the 80s
