Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:Not only that, but he's only good when he has some real drama going on. With Fratto, at least he could talk about more things than himself. Let's not look at the past with rose-colored glasses. Johnny Fratto was really loving terrible and boring, and ETM was at his absolute best before Fratto started bogging down all his phone calls with stories about his stupid kids and making up lovely contrived bits. That said, I will never not laugh at "You know what to do...you know what to do" and 0.0, but I still pretty much hate Johnny Fratto. ETM and Artie were a match made in heaven.

GenoCanSing posted:He just clearly hates women, and prefers to think of them as objects. Remember Kissyphur? His phone sex line addiction? He was just rejected his whole life for being a total creep, and his horniness and loneliness and hatred all manifested in the man you see. If not for the fact that JD is totally broken in all the ways you outlined above, I'd totally date him, fat and all. The funny thing is that even if I wanted to, I probably couldn't "get" him because he's so obsessed with stripper/porn star types.

Two Kings posted:I also believe his dad also was balancing the ladder on a picnic bench to get extra height when he fell off of it. I'm not saying he deserved it but he certainly wasn't being very safety conscious. And no matter what happened of course it wasn't Artie's fault. If that's the case, then wouldn't he have hosed himself up whether or not Artie was there? Still, if I were in that position, I would definitely have a lot of guilt about it. Then again, I can't imagine my mom ever doing something that unbelievably dumb.

GenoCanSing posted:"....Blah blah blah Kendra" I wish they had delved more into the situation with his other fake girlfriend Christine (circa 2007 or so). The golden age of ETM has got to be between late-ish 2007 (like, leading up to the time that Diana DeGarmo's mother talked to Steve Langford about ETM's excessive phone calls) and sometime just before the whole "What's 9 x 4?" bit.

I'm significantly less perturbed about her abortions because they're HER abortions and it's not like her abortion is going to leap out and kill some unsuspecting bystander. Drunk driving and driving under the influence hurts people that have nothing to her, and that bothers me. And seriously, "Someone should have had her fixed?" I have to assume that's just a really unfunny joke. She's not an animal, she's a person with some serious problems, abortions being the least of them really. edit: Given her issues, would you really rather she had the kids instead?

I think it was around the time Howard was leaving terrestrial and I think the deal was he could take a shot at taking over the show, but they could cut it off at any moment. I remember some weird phone call to Daniel Carver where it was a little girl crying to him... it was incredibly bizarre. Are you talking about the one where he says (as a little girl) that he had to eat his own brother? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsSN_0Y0gdE

Snark posted:"So wet 'em, spread 'em, and make 'em nice and wide" Not that I don't think this is a bit, but isn't Sal only like 40? That would mean that if he were 16 when he made it, he made it in '88. Just saying. Either way, it would be remarkable if his voice hadn't changed at all in 20+ years too.

If anything, the video makes the moment even MORE ambiguous. On one hand, it looks like Beth told her to gently caress off and then put on a Hollywood smile while the lady silently stewed in embarrassment. On the other, it looks like maybe the other lady only thought Beth was angry at her and reacted really awkwardly to perceived anger that wasn't even there. I feel like I've thought too much about this. Either way, I wouldn't form my whole opinion on Beth around this one thing. That woman could be Sal in disguise for all we know.

The beginning of the end for Eric was the introduction of Johnny Fratto. The end of the end for Eric was Artie's untimely exit. That said, my favorite post-decline appearance was when they play the clip of Bobby Rude yelling at him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH14u2hq1gw

A lot of people seem annoyed by him, but Fred's impression of him is the best.

I was listening to old ETM clips, and I came across one in which Howard says to Verne Troyer, ""You're the most famous little person! I'm trying to think one that's more famous than you -- maybe Peter Dinklage, but not really."  edit: This was in 2008, for the record.

The bit was that Benjy was related to him, but not allowed to talk about him. It was a really boring and stupid bit, just like all of Benjy's bits.
