I left that playing while I folded socks and underwear and it seems to have given Brenda PTSD. She has been hunkering by the coffee table w/ her ears folded back for a while now.

The Malort video is p. funny.
The Shit Chicagoans Say video is really annoying, except for the part where they single commercial jingles to themselves while they do household chores.
Okay, I'm caught up on videos now.

I hate the SCS video.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:10 (twelve years ago) link
Surprise!
All those videos (apart from the original) are made by people with no concept of comedic delivery
― tanuki, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:14 (twelve years ago) link
What is the original?
― jaymc, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:20 (twelve years ago) link
Xpost which is sad considering the Chicago one seems to have the stink of improv ppl on it.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 14:23 (twelve years ago) link
Exactly.

That part was good - possibly funny - bc it was actually true and unique to Chicago unlike the rest of that crap.
Ct's sister sent us the Long Island one and it was at least tolerable bc it was LI-specific and not in dumb, obvious ways (eg Guidos, saying "Long Guyland") but like "We have to transfer at Jamaica??"
Chicago: "why does the Red Line always smell like piss?" Oh hoho! OUR train is gross! Say something about Malort or even Obama or fucking Mrs OLeary's GD cow. C'MON!!

Okay, I kind of liked the guy smacking the be-ketchuped hot dog out of the woman's hand but that's just because I like slapstick and thinking about running up to somebody and smacking a hotdog out of their hand is inherently funny to me.

Can I ask you a question about your hair?
I don't know if those shitbirds are Chicago specific, though.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't watch the video. At any time, did any person refer to "Jewels"?
― long duk dan (dan m), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 16:02 (twelve years ago) link
Nein.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 16:04 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, it's crap
― long duk dan (dan m), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 16:06 (twelve years ago) link
You mean like "I'm going to Jewels to get sport peppers" and not "Dick Durbin kicked me in the Family Jewels" right?

No b/c it was a 20-something college-educated white North Sider's take on Chicago.

Huh, I don't think I knew that Soul Train started on Ch. 26 before going into syndication. Don Cornelius plus Svengoolie is quite a legacy.

I'll have you know I remember Rich Koz (aka Svengoolie) from his days hosting the after-school block of kids' programming on Ch. 32 in the early '90s. Also went to high school with his niece, iirc.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
i love svengoolie
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 19:38 (twelve years ago) link
I love Svengoolie and I think local TV horror hosts are a national treasure, all joking aside.
xp! Yay! Sisters!

We had Saturday Night Dead and Creature Double Feature but I don't remember the hosts. Elvira, of course, and Joe Bob Briggs but they weren't local.
I wish I had a Svengoolie growing up. Actually, I would rally like to be a TV horror host. I think I'd be good at it.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:27 (twelve years ago) link
Oh snap - Saturday Night Dead was hosted by Stella the Maneater from Manayunk.

guessin no one wants to watch the super bowl with me on sunday? (not in a self-pitying way, in a "no one else here really watches football" way). we're going to make nachos and drink beer.

We accidentally scheduled an importan board meeting on Sunday in which we welcome and orient new members. It never even came up in the planning in that we scheduling it for Superbowl Sunday, which is pretty lol.

I have no skin in the game whatsoever anymore. I can't even pick which team I dislike more, much less which one I like more.
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:43 (twelve years ago) link

This year, we all already lost.

i'm vaguely rooting for the patriots because:it was v. v. entertaining when they demolished the tebow broncosrob gronkowski is pretty fun to watchbelichek's coldness and ruthlessness are appealing in a movie villain styleandi pretty much always root against NY sports teams
but yeah i don't really care that much about either team
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
I rooted for the Patriots vs. the Giants four years ago b/c I wanted them to make NFL HISTORY. But since that's not an issue this time around, I don't care who wins.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:54 (twelve years ago) link
I would root for the giants if I had to because I'm still bitter about the patriots / Carolina Super Bowl results.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:57 (twelve years ago) link
All I know is, the Saints can eat my butthole for losing so stupidly to the 49ers. That game was like watching a ship sink, with no lifeboats.
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 20:58 (twelve years ago) link
being from connecticut, this sb could be very interestingbecause it is possible that certain members of my family could kill other members of my family
I guess I will root for the patriots if I have to root for somebody
