The Mandarin

Statement: The Austin/Angle skits were the best continuous comedy segments of since the dawn of the WWF Attitude era until now. Statement: While blowing hard storyline-wise, the Alliance angle did have many funny moments. Rebuttal: While you do have a point, this "WWE Style" allows brass to push home-grown talent who know nothing but this style, and get rid of/bury talent who didn't sell their souls to McMahon before WCW closed.

I don't like how the Darwin Awards sometimes mock the deaths of people who didn't die by their own stupidity. It's more depressing than funny, even if it is sometimes ironic. "Reverend and his family die when tree crushes car" or whatever. I'm pretty sure the Darwin Awards covered that.

My face still hurts from laughing so much. I picked this up off recommendation of a friend, who didn't really go into detail, but said it was great. Let me tell you, that was honestly the funniest 2 hours of my life, I swear to God. I laughed so hard it was better than a workout. Every single thing Robin Williams said was pure gold. He did more jokes in 5 minutes than Seinfeld does in an hour. The first laugh-till-you-cry bit is his joke about execution of retarded people. "Go sit in Santa's lap, Timmy! *pulls electric chair lever* *PFFFFTTTT*" That nearly killed me. Eventually, he moves into political commentary, which is a lot slower (he was going at a RAPID pace previously), but still hilarious. Then, he gets into religion. I have NEVER laughed this hard. "Jesus was an only child, and thank God, because who would want to be Jerry, the brother of Christ?" There's so much more I've forgotten at least 95% of it. Eventually, he moves onto how golf was invented by Scots, which is a must-see for any golf fans. The ending discussion about sex/Viagra slows it down a bit, but it's a very good climax (no pun intended) to the show. He ends it perfectly. I can't really say it's my favourite "film" ever (too all over the place to be a movie), but it's my favourite thing ever put on DVD. Please, I beg of you, watch this. It will redefine your perspective of "funny". So who else has seen it/enjoyed it?

Can't say I blame them. I'd do the same if I lived in India.

What's wrong with King Tut?

The question is how long did some people believe the wrestling was real? Personally, my parents squashed that for me before I even got into wrestling. I swear, EVERY single time Ahmed Johnson would hit a move (all two of them), my father would call out "That's so fake." I never bought into any of the angles and usually preferred the wrestling to the storylines. That's why I was a HUGE Dean Malenko mark in 1998. I think I even preferred him to Austin(!). Around the summer of 2000 is when is when you guys corrupted my mind by telling me most of the wrestling I watched sucked and Japanese wrestlers would eat my guys alive.

The BK Bomb or the Kid Krusher or whatever it's called doesn't look too bad.

Fox's 2000-200(2?) late night lineup 10:00- Seinfeld 10:30- Frasier 11:00- Simpsons 11:30- Spin City 12:00- Married with Children 12:30- Unhappily Ever After(!) 1:00- Caroline in the City (oh, come on. You liked it.) 1:30- Suddenly Susan ( ) Combine this with the fact they would repeat the same awesome Mighty Taco commercial in between shows, and you've got an awesome lineup. Then they screwed it up by tossing in Mad TV at 12:00 AM in Sept. ('02?), so that ruined it. But it was great before then. Runners up- Last year's GSN Late Night is very close. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was Whammy, Lingo, Russian Roulette, Truth or Dare and Cram. In some order. Then you had Greed on Sundays, and Weakest Link during the day. And best of all-- you could play these games. On line. Along with the TV. I loved that shit. Also, when I had all those television feeds from other provinces, I had a nice lineup of Simpsons, That 70's Show, Will and Grace and Seinfeld any time I wanted. Since almost so many different networks have Simpsons in syndication, I was able to watch about 5-8 Simpsons episodes (if I was feelin' it). Awesome.

Beautiful fat women could be the replacement for good looking yet expensive cars- they'd look good, go for cheap and no keys are required. Hop on one and let it take your ass to work. If you want a "sports car" just dangle a twinkie a meter in front of it and hold on for dear life, it'll get you to your destination before you can say "Liposuction".

The Shining- 10/10 Still one of my favourite movies. Scary. Very scary.

Rebuttal: That sounds great on paper, but he'd be given no special treatment (aka. TV time) and his work may be too stiff for WWE standards. If the Cruiserweight Division was actually a division, he'd do well if he allowed them to cut him off by the balls and trade in some of his unique offense.

Vegas. Or cake mix.

I like what I'm seeing so far, but two suggestions: One, they need to work a bit more on the crowd. Fade the chants in/out. Chants don't just spontaneously get loud. They have to build, dammit. Two, have ring announcers. I just saw Kane's entrance, and while it was amazing, it would have been perfect with the ring of the bell and "The following match is scheduled for one fall.." If they could do that for the entrances, I'd be amazed.

I'm thinking Dec. 2002.

You've GOTTA make another chart. Was that Joke Subtle or Not? "Did the gag appear far off in the background of the scene?" (yes) | V "Did it involve Rosey being attacked by a cat?" (no) | V (picture of Triple H driving the forklift back in 2002) SOMEWHAT, YES

So like, if I abuse my trained helper monkey and it goes nuts and guns down six people in a postal office, I'm also held responsible? ..duuuude.

Rebuttal: Monday

Rebuttal: November 2002. SmackDown in Oct. 2002 was off the charts.

I was going to bring back the thread about this game a while ago, but I was just too lazy. It looks simply amazing. If you haven't heard about all the new features, look up on it. They didn't have to go to these lengths, I would have bought another "expansion pack" (like Vice City was to GTA3) without question.

Now that you mention that, I want Villianos IV and V to run for president.

Yeah, he and one of my relatives share the same birthday, so I've always memorized it. Maybe they'll do something after the SmackDown tapings tonight. I know they did last year after Summerslam.

What?! Rene vs. RVD on the pre-Summerslam Heat match was a lot better than I expected and was better than many matches on the card. Plus, the French Tickler is just hysterical and would do huge if they ever decided to switch him to being a face. They can't get rid of it.

The only redeemable part of that segment was "Poontong? We gotta party."

I'd assume expedia.com is the best/most reliable site to book a flight with.

Dress your kid up as a pimping bear for Halloween.
