Ha ha. Making fun of TV is funny.

/doesn't own a TV anymore

Area Man Constantly Mentioning He Doesn't Own A Television

Rberry		2003-09-04 05:57:23 PM

Hey, pretty funny stuff! I took the time to read it instead of just being an SA hater and throwing up a "this sucks" comment, and am a better man for it.

TrouserSnakeandLarry		2003-09-04 05:58:15 PM

Heard about the one with the single mom that is a doctor and her dead mom's spirit guides her through adventures? She takes her daughter on a cross country trip searching for her missing hudband who is Latino and gay. And she runs into John Goodman. Think it's on ABC.

Ellie Belly		2003-09-04 06:01:34 PM

I've got three tv's, and I make they are on all the time, even when I'm not home. I am weary of the sarcastic gay man, on tv and in real life.

Tor		2003-09-04 06:02:07 PM

I only found the first one funny, but hey, it's free.

udder-seeking_robots		2003-09-04 06:07:21 PM

TV...I keep turning up the brightness but it doesn't help

jer2911tx		2003-09-04 06:07:46 PM

/can't believe Whoopi! has her own show

Notmyrealloginname		2003-09-04 06:09:34 PM

Obviously a fake list since it doesn't contain 3 or 4 new incarnations of CSI (CSI Des Moines, CSI Anchorage, CSI Carribean) or any new rehashes of the Law & Order franchise.

0nyxMantis		2003-09-04 06:10:50 PM

Hmm... does anyone have a link to the un-edited pic of all the lesbians?

Not that I want to see that or anything.

/pervert

I Have An Asian Fetish		2003-09-04 06:11:01 PM

Well, it doesn't seem like he directly/indirectly made fun of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Yay.

tunicoco		2003-09-04 06:15:23 PM

Onyx

It is kind of sad that I was thinking the exact same thing. Let me know what you find.

Queen Mushroom		2003-09-04 06:15:30 PM

Being a SA whore and a grammar Nazi at the same time can make for a very conflicted existence.

/more tamer?

reaten		2003-09-04 06:16:51 PM

I'm so cool I thought I'd tell everyone I don't own a TV

hlx		2003-09-04 06:17:29 PM

So is there anything decent showcasing on american TV this fall???

ornate_colon		2003-09-04 06:17:35 PM

that was some funny sheeit. those wacky sarcastic gay men!

Bill_Brasky		2003-09-04 06:19:22 PM

Meh, SA's been pretty tame (read: lame) lately.

Just_Dan		2003-09-04 06:19:38 PM

DrToast: best article ever...especially right after Udo's post. Have you been saving that one? heh heh

DrToast		2003-09-04 06:22:11 PM

Just_Dan
Errr...saving it? Nah, it's just that Udo's post reminded me of it.

El Chinchilla del Sur		2003-09-04 06:24:42 PM

Lowtax is a god among men.

dumdum		2003-09-04 06:27:53 PM

"highly non-insatiable"?

Riiight...

podycheck		2003-09-04 06:29:40 PM

"Time Ape: Legendary Travels"? Comedy gold. I am sooooo glad that I don't own a tv. Not cause I'm an elitist, it's just I'm poor and my family won't share.

TheJoe03		2003-09-04 06:30:16 PM

Special "man-only" household tips are given every eight minutes, ranging from "marry a chick with a lot of money because then you won't have to work and you can kill her for a lot of insurance cashola" to "always leave the toilet seat up after you go to the bathroom and never ask for directions when driving because that's hilarious and crazy and that's what men do."
That was farking funny, that's jsut wat the Man show is all about. I hate those idiotic stereotypes of men and women.

captain applesauce		2003-09-04 06:30:50 PM

Yeah, i'll stick with waking up early saturday mornings, watching live Premiership, and not watching anything else for the rest of the week unless rugby league or the Red Sox are on

/sitcoms suck, how long until hockey starts?

Forsythe P. Jones		2003-09-04 06:30:50 PM

Man! For the past month we've been watching this bad-ass summer replacement series Called "Grand Theft Auto:Vice City"! Pretty damn violent for prime-time! Any one know if they're going to make it a regular series in the fall?

/heee ;)

shigelojoe		2003-09-04 06:32:07 PM

I'm still holding out for "Ethnic Mismatch Comedy #644".

TheJoe03		2003-09-04 06:32:28 PM

sorry for my grammar, nazis.....or i could just piss you off more. let's try again, sorwry fore maiy gramere':; nawzees.

EnglishMan		2003-09-04 06:33:45 PM

TheJoe03 - And we're sorry that you don't know what grammar means.

Thegreaser		2003-09-04 06:34:15 PM

something awful "the internet makes you stupid".........it should read "this website makes you stupid"

Alphax		2003-09-04 06:35:49 PM

My first visit to that site, and my last.

"The Internet makes you stupid". Not all of it, but this site..

Ellie Belly		2003-09-04 06:36:20 PM

Have the grammar Nazis killed 6 million Jews? Perhaps they are just grammar perfectionists.

Thegreaser		2003-09-04 06:37:32 PM

ok so it wasent funny, sue me

Jakamo		2003-09-04 06:37:53 PM

Notmyrealloginname

How about:
"CSI- After Dark." Sarcastic gay investigators and their sassy black woman co-workers after work and on the town.
"CSI- Now it's personal" Investigating the deaths of loved ones, sassy black lady co-workers, former school sweethearts, and neighbors.
"CSI- Writters Guild" Applying sience to the mystery of WTF happened to good programming, writting, direction, catering, gaffing, best-boying...

Outlaw2097		2003-09-04 06:39:23 PM

Ethnical Mismatch Comedy #234!

bigpeeler		2003-09-04 06:39:42 PM

Lowtax banned me because he's jealous of my boyish good looks. But he's a god.

Ishkur		2003-09-04 06:40:56 PM

He forgot about the new Reality Show on Fox about a bachelor whos a millionaire but he doesnt know it, and 30 women vie for his affection, but they dont know hes married. One by one they get voted off, and the surprise twist is hes not really a millionaire and the winner will get a million dollars, but it will be taken away if shes in love with him, and then a million dollars will be given to him if he picks someone else, but what he doesnt know is she is really a millionaire, and if he loves her they take her money and give it to him, after he reveals that hes just in it for the money when they give her the million dollars that they will take away because hes not a millionaire. What a fantastic twist, eh?

TheJoe03		2003-09-04 06:42:37 PM

sorry for my grammar, nazis.....or i could just piss you off more. let's try again, sorwry fore maiy gramere':; nawzees.
In bold there is grammatical errors...?or INN; (bold are) they're [is errooors] grammatatical: of!?""

Born2Die		2003-09-04 06:43:44 PM

Man....TV sucks sooo bad now. The only funny shows are on Fox on Sundays, and Reno 911!. Boston Public is also good....but Fox had to move that to Fridays to make room for 8 episodes of Bernie Mac during the week....oh, and to make sure they have plenty of room to beat to death whatever flash in the pan genre hits this season.

At least they're thinking ahead.

TheJoe03		2003-09-04 06:45:19 PM

Take that EnglishMan!

pedantic		2003-09-04 06:46:36 PM

Obviously a fake list since it doesn't contain 3 or 4 new incarnations of CSI (CSI Des Moines, CSI Anchorage, CSI Carribean)

Shows for next fall, they've already been namin'
"CSI: Boise" and "Touched By An Uncle"
Both sound prettying lame, man...

Beatle_Matt		2003-09-04 06:47:07 PM

lol...

Star Trek: Space Adventures in Space.

Comedy gold!

Ishkur		2003-09-04 06:49:33 PM

Also: you notice how all gays are pretty much asexual on TV? So they can be gay as in "I have a fruity voice, like wearing vinyl pants, disco dancing and a wacky sensibility", but not gay as in "I like sticking my dink up other guy's bums".

How many times does Will (& Grace) make out with other guys, after all? That's an interesting take on homosexuality: that it's acceptable, but not thinkable. This is about as stupid as Ozzie and Harriot sleeping in different beds. As if to say that gay people don't have genitals or any sexual urges on tv. They're just fun to hang around with.

neglogon		2003-09-04 06:50:30 PM

I swear the first one really is slated to appear on NBC... I think it is called "Whoopi"

Cuchulane		2003-09-04 06:50:38 PM

Nice shot, Dr. Toast!

Gen. Apathy		2003-09-04 06:50:46 PM

I have one thing to say:

Jaqwuannatry Shamequela

WTF kind of name is that?

Was she born in the US?

That has got to be one of the worst African-American names I've ever heard dreamed up! I hope she is from Africa and has a legitimate reason for that name. And yes, I understand everyone has a right to name their kid whatever they choose, but let's be reasonable. I'm from the USA and I wouldn't choose a name like Magnus Magnusson or Tetsuo Shima for my American kids (unless I was Japanese or Swedish/Finnish/Danish/etc... and just moved here!)

So go ahead and call yourself quasi-african names, I'm sure you'll do well in those job searches...

droogmilk		2003-09-04 06:50:48 PM

Oh it's SO easy to make fun of television.

diskop		2003-09-04 06:50:55 PM

Not funny at all.

diskop		2003-09-04 06:52:33 PM

Apathy

Inner city people (African Americans) have been known to name their kids stuff like Visine, Propecia, Placenta, and other names like that because it "sounds pretty".

Gen. Apathy		2003-09-04 06:53:57 PM

Ishkur,

Funny but while I was reading that passage of yours I took on the voice of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory.

It made it seem funnier somehow (for those of you familiar with Dexter - funny show, but Zim rules!)
