Woke Lena Dunham forgot that POCs very much live in New York and that they don't even have to be filthy poors! Maybe she was just preemptively getting revenge on that meanie, fit, rich black jock who was too busy with his phone to gently caress her.

hey now that's not true, there was that episode where Donald Glover was a black conservative who called Lena Dunham a racist for assuming he must be a liberal because he's black!

That's because pop music is for a) teenagers, and b) people who can't accept that they're no longer teenagers.

This leads me to c). Have you noticed that a ridiculous percentage rock music is about teenage angst and/or being a rock star, often on the road? Well that's because many of the people who write it have no life experience other than being an angsty teenager, and they spend lots of time being a musician on the road, often dreaming about stardom.

In other words it's all a gigantic circle jerk.

on the other hand, that's what Roundabout is about, and Roundabout is a fantastic song

They also did a 4th wall joke about Vivian's actress change too once. She and Jazz are both in the kitchen doing whatever, and he gives her a sideeye, and then says "man....something about you just seems so different since you had that baby..." This may have resulted in a "throw Jazz out the door" gag. And speaking of that running gag, I think the fact that the clips were so brief, about half the time you'd expect on a sitcom to go with the gag, is what kept them so funny. Like, it'd cut him off mid scream and last maybe a second tops.

Jazz also made a 4th wall joke about Nicky aging several years within a season's break

The song choices are generally pretty good and for the most part they're well-performed, but they all look like loving music videos. The original one was more like an older musical where the music is mostly justified by the story. In BB2000 they just stop the plot for a music video then get back to the movie (e.g. Wilson Pickett and Eddie Floyd doing "634-5789").

The two big ones are Blues Traveler and then the jam on "New Orleans" at the end. The former has John Popper going up to Dan Aykroyd and gushing about what a big fan he is and how he's keen for Elwood to hear his band, he says, "Great! I'll go get 'em, Mr Blues!" then it cuts to a Blues Traveler music video, and when they stop playing, Popper goes back to where he saw Elwood (who's split) and goes, "Mr Blues? Where did you go?"

"New Orleans" at the end is like one of those all-star jams they do at awards shows where everybody pops in, sings their allotted two lines or plays their guitar solo, then peaces out. In the first Blues Brothers, the musical guests (Ray Charles, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, the Blues Brothers band etc.) are also all playing characters, but in BB2000 they're just playing themselves.

this just makes me think of how Digital Underground just shows up and performs for no real reason in Nothing But Trouble

maybe it's a Dan Akroyd thing

Except no porn movie actually received a rated X. They just co-opted the rating for titillation purposes. Which is why you'd have things like XXX, which isn't even a thing. Getting your movie rated cost money so there was really no point in getting that label if you weren't being shown in traditional theaters.

A couple of 'good' movies were rated X, like Last Tango in Paris. Granted, someone legit got sexually assaulted in that movie soooooo maybe that isn't a good example.

Midnight Cowboy was rated X and won 3 academy awards

Something that has aged well on this subject is the Mission Hill episode about it from like 1999 I think

Christ this phone is bad, just look up Mission Hill Andy Vs the Real World somehow because I can’t link the video

The only thing about the Youtube upload is it's from the DVD release where they cut out the licensed music, so the bit at the end when they all sing Everybody Hurts doesn't make any sense :v:

i don't mean to single you out but this particular example's a pet peeve of mine because socrates most likely never actually said this: it was probably falsely attributed to him to make him look insightful and borderline prophetic in his powers of observation because athens did in fact enter into a period of social decline where it was no longer as productive or as prominent as it was in its classic golden age especially compared to its rival neighbors who were on the rise not long after socrates' life and would later essentially subsume it - having socrates make observation of the decline's very roots taking shape was intended to make him look like a boss so if anything this particular bit of apocrypha implies that olds are often right about youngs not being up to snuff

Got to thinking about this today and HBO's poo poo has held up remarkably well. Deadwood, Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Larry Sanders, Curb Your Enthusiasm...I'm hard pressed to think of a series they did hasn't stood the test of time. I never liked Sex in the City so I can't say how that one "held up".

Even the Spawn cartoon they did was good.

Smoking is a the limpdick pussy drug for tryhards. It doesn't even get you high or hosed up; ooooh my mouth tingles a little, look out cocaine and whiskey you got some stiff competition! It's the trenchcoat and writing gently caress on your school bathroom wall version of dope. You want to look cool because smoking makes you look cool because people who look cool smoke. And then there's vaping:

The sooner it gets banned and nobody thinks about tobacco ever again the better. "Uh bluh prohibition doesn't work :smug:" Who the gently caress would bother with a drug that doesn't get you high even from the start?

Oh no you won't be able to look cool hanging around at the 7-11 hoping teenagers will ask you to buy you beer for them anymore or skipping out on work twice an hour to smoke.


I'm low on nicotine so I have to passive-aggressively lash out at people making fun of me for having been a teenager too stupid to not start smoking. No, wait. That's the crybabies upset somebody thinks their habit is for white trash morons.

There is a good series on Youtube going through the history of Nickelodeon. Each episode is about a single show starting at the very beginning. He finally got to You Can't Do That On Television and spends a lot of time talking about some less than appropriate features: body shaming, Playboys, and... lots of boys being put in dresses.

I think Fox had that show where every just forgets two minutes of a particular day. Who the gently caress cares? How did they think they could squeeze more than one season from that?

i vaguely remember advertising for that during football, i want to say it was called THE EVENT or something and you could tell they wanted it to be a mystery for the ages but it was cancelled after like 5 episodes because nobody gave a poo poo

The X-Men being written out has really hurt comics, say what you want about the clumsiness and datedness of the minority metaphor, it provided a really important counterpoint to the authoritarian tendencies of superheroes.

do you think there hasn't been at least 3 concurrent X-Men books being published at any point in the past 10 years
