Why does this go on for nearly 40 seconds? Why can't Family Guy let a joke be quick, why do they have to have the joke go on and on and on? Whyyy WHYYYYYY

And this is why I DVR Family Guy, you can fast forward through that bullshit. Actually I'm not even sure why I still DVR it in the first place.

AD was always the better show. Even Cleveland is usually better than Family Guy at this point.

It started off pretty rough, the first couple episodes are pretty painful to watch. Then eventually the jokes moved from "conservatives, lol" to "family who happens to be conservative that get into wacky hijinks" which made the show far better.

There's only so many times you can throw out a "conservatives, lol" joke before it gets stale.

Welp episode 3 of ponies has a description up

Hyper-organized Twilight panics when she can’t find a lesson about friendship for her weekly letter to Princess Celestia. Another mental breakdown episode, it should be glorious!

Clip's down. Can someone describe it? Family Guy has been garbage to me ever since it got resurrected, and seeing or hearing about the moronic poo poo it pulls is both infuriating and fascinating.

The waiter is the Trololo Man and they all sing the song for about two minutes. The punchline (such as it is) is something to the effect of, "Nice guy. Too bad all his kids are stillborn."

So the end of the Season 2 two-parter for MLP was a parody of a New Hope complete with awkward facial expression exchanges, they even played a similar piece of music for the sequence.
On that note, a friend of mine pointed this out to me:

Because to some (very stupid) people, the funny part is the awkwardness that comes out of dragging the joke on forever. I wish I were kidding.

The title sounds like something created from a create-a-Diablo Cody line generator.

That article posted:

Dog With A Blog centers on 15-year-old Tyler and Kayla, who have just become step-siblings but don’t get along because they’re very different: Tyler is popular, social and gets by on his looks, while Kayla is super smart, socially responsible and despises guys like Tyler.

Blogging dog aside, that premise sounds incredibly similar to some other show that Disney already made but I can't remember the name of...

She already quit the show.

I actually made it to where they started doing something that I think was intended to be singing. It made my brain bleed. I then skipped ahead to where they complete their journey to Pizza Hut. 2 pizzas and breadsticks, for the 5(I think) of them. Yep.

You know I quite honestly believe this is a staged joke. Something about it feels really off with me. It feels kind of like Jackass without the being funny at the end.

The Saga

I'm a pony fan and that video just makes me want to bash my head against the wall repeatedly. And that's after only seeing the first five seconds and then closing it in disgust.

Me absolutely hating the word "brony" aside, anyone who uses "everypony" in real life needs a solid punch in the face. Do they not GET how utterly stupid it makes them sound? Though given what I hear occurs later in the video, "not appearing stupid" doesn't appear to be a top priority for them.

It's like those people who think Digimon are real. I love digimon and everything, but come on. That's taking wish fulfillment a little too far.

The only season I actively remember is the Third one, which was called Digimon Tamers in Japan. Mostly because Chiaki J. Konaka is a mad man.

I was going to say "man that's lame" but looking it apparently went back to the lighter tone that the first 2 seasons had. Sounds kind of nice. And I mean it can't be as half baked as series 4.

Season 5 had the funniest censor changes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhFw20MsBB0

Season 4 was the one where they did away with the companion creature aspect right? Suddenly they just turn into digimon warriors or something. That was really awful.

One of the reasons I liked season 3 was they did away with the fighting by proxy mechanic. The human kids get down and dirty as the season went on, instead of just standing around screaming.

Please tell me he doesn't have some sort of magic punch and it really is just him punchy the gently caress out of Digimon like it's no big deal.

This also makes me really wish I could play Digimon World 1 again. I wish they had another game similar to that. :(
