Some of these TV shows are already available on DVD, and some will be available soon. No matter what, I need to own these, and if you don’t know them, I’m very disappointed in you.
Yeah. That’s it. I’m letting these vids do the comedy for me…
People barely remember Dana Carvey, let alone his attempt to break away from his Saturday Night Live shackles, The Dana Carvey Show. Considered ahead of its time, here are the opening skits from the first episode:
Aside from the advertising sponsored episode titles (in this case, my favorite, Taco Bell), did anything else stand out?
Perhaps some the actors involved?
The 40-Year-Old Version, The Office, Little Miss Sunshine, Get Smart
Strangers with Candy, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, TV Funhouse
Notice any of the writers involved?
Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Lucky Louie, Parks and Recreation, Louie
Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Delocated
Community, Moral Orel, Mary Shelley's Frankenhole
Seinfeld ("Soup Nazi"), Talkshow with Spike Ferensten
I’m an adult. I know this. I try to remind myself of this fact every day. I own a house. I drink beer legally. I have to use my arms and my legs to stand up from sitting.
So it’s fitting that at least one of the items in this Awesome Battle contains the word adult…
There is an incredible show on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim that no one but my friend, Chris, and I watch.
It’s entitled Delocated, and here’s a sample:
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Sure, I should have set up the video, but I like to throw people in the deep end, let them get their feet wet and water in their lungs, you know. Essentially, it’s a fake reality (?) show about a family in the witness protection program, and it’s so absurd I absolutely love it. Season 2 premieres August 22, and I can’t believe I missed it during its initial run.
This second item… I’m not too proud about my excitement.
Apparently, some time between me leaving grade school and starting high school, these toys were out in stores:
Computer Warriors?!? Fucking robots hiding inside soccer balls, flashlights, and Pepsi cans?!? Mattel must have been trying to capitalize on the success of M.A.S.K. (my all-time favorite toy line) and Transformers, but just a tad too late or too early. If these would have lasted on the market, or arrived on the scene two years later when I had my first job at a toy store, I would have had them all.
But I’m an adult. I shouldn’t try winning some of them on eBay…
…but I will.
