no, she's just a teen Smiths fan Tom.

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 20 September 2002 15:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK she is the most irritating human being ever portrayed on a cartoon cel apart from those cels portraying other characters from her poxy programme.

Tom (Groke), Friday, 20 September 2002 15:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think Tom is in denial of his inner Daria today.

Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Friday, 20 September 2002 15:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Daria all the way.

Not that I've ever seen B & B...

Note to Nabisco: You're thinking of Tiffany Blum-Deckler, if I recall the name correctly(Accesories Officer of the Fashion Club).

New thread idea: is it possible to be TOO into a cartoon series?

Tim Bateman, Friday, 20 September 2002 16:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

is it possible to be TOO into a cartoon series?

Consider many a Sailor Moon fan.

Do I have to? Ew.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 20 September 2002 16:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Their sebaceous skin, their unkempt clothes...

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 September 2002 16:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned: shut up.

Tom: all the other characters have to be amusingly irritating in order to justify Daria's misanthropy.

Tim: yes, Tiffany with the slow-talking, sporty little Stacy for Daria Character I'd Be in Love With Were I in Love with any Daria Characters.

nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 20 September 2002 17:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned: shut up.

*weeps*

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 September 2002 17:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Honestly, Ned I will sick this on you:

Actually no, I'm keeping that for myself.

nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 20 September 2002 17:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

Can we PLEASE not drag Sailor Moon into this?

nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 20 September 2002 18:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

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

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

Daniel_Rf, Friday, 20 September 2002 22:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

modern day kathleen hanna = *swoon*

for the record, i say daria.

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

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-one years ago) link

Have people forgotten how funny Beavis and Butthead was??

THANKYOU RICKY T!!

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

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-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

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

RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 20 September 2002 22:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

hmmph to everyone

(except nabisco and some other people)

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

"loud but subtle"

My favorite mock critical phrase is "minimalist yet expansive"

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

DARIA! DARIA! DARIA!

nory (nory), Saturday, 21 September 2002 00:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

I think that settles it, then.

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

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

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-one years ago) link

"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-one years ago) link

''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-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

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

nabisco (nabisco), Saturday, 21 September 2002 15:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

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-one years ago) link

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

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-one years ago) link

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

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

The universe created by Angelinhel as an entry in the PPMB thread IRON CHEF: Sic Transit Gloria Mundi. The universe details a world ravaged by a virus known as "The Sickness" which was released during the events of the movie, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. The universe gets its designation because there were three bullets left in the gun mentioned in the beginning of the story.

Daria-217: The universe of "Misnomer," by Erin Mills. An alternate reality wherein the Lane family is slaughtered by a red cloaked, reality jumping Daria Morgendorffer who goes by the name Judith. The story was published on fanfiction.net on 2/17/06.

Daria-8: The universe of Smileyfax's Night of the Living Furniture. In the fic, the family of Tom Sloane pays the Morgendorffer family an eight-figure sum of money as compensation for his insane acts of brutality upon them.

What did he do? I am afraid to read the fanfic to find out what. It it hard to imagine Tom as a homicidal maniac.

Of course.

"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 (fourteen years ago) link

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

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

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 (fourteen years ago) link

haha "dario"

nabisco, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:33 (fourteen years ago) link

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

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

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 (fourteen years ago) link

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 (fourteen years ago) link

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.
