Sunday Roundup

By Chris | Published: October 16, 2011

Glee is on hiatus for a while, so we are also kind of on a break. What the hell, though. Here’s some shit that we like:

Deeeper Inside of Me

A blog from Ben Palmer, an Atlanta comic. He writes about his Chinese Roommate, working at JoAnn Fabrics, and shit his grandpa says. His grandpa is not funny enough to get a TV show, and that’s too bad.

Walking The Room

A very filthy podcast that is awesome. I didn’t initially think that “two guys talking about shit” would be that funny, but I was very wrong. If you get a recent episode, make sure you check out their glossary so that you know what the hell is going on. Plus, the have occasional celebrity guests, such as Patton Oswalt, Kyle Kinane, Jimmy Pardo and Brian Posehn. Yet another warning: it is gloriously filthy.

 Dan Harmon’s Whiteboard

If you don’t get what this is about, then good. You don’t deserve it.

It’s this new website. Mark my words: it’s gonna be big.

    Yes! ‘Deeper Inside Me’ is the shit! 

    ……..

    That’s all I really have to say.

  • Mack

    Dan Harmon’s Whiteboard! :D Brilliant.

      I liked that too! :D Ah, I’m never going to stop being pissed off at how Community always gets snubbed when it comes to awards while other shows who have their own hate blog get tons of nominations and a few wins.

    I’m spending an inordinate amount of time on this site. I just feel like I have to admit that.  It’s either this or arguing with friends who are gleeks every time they gush over the show, or a spoiler, or a tweet from the cast, or a picture of a member of the cast that a glee-cast-stalker took with a spy camera. Yes, that last one is terrifying. 

    BTW Dan Harmon is my hero: “I have no idea what you mean. There was a glee club at Greendale, and their bus was driving on a rainy night, and a downed power line was hanging across the road, and the bus drove through it, and it sliced through the bus and decapitated everyone, row by row, so that the people in the back had to watch all their friends get decapitated, then they got decapitated, and then the bus drove into a pool of lava. And I guess the crazy thing is, the electricity from the power line somehow kept their nervous systems ‘alive,’ so they could feel the lava. They didn’t escape the pain of the lava just because they didn’t have heads. They felt the lava. It was terrible but it was not metaphorical in any way. I would never be that petty and envious of another show’s popularity.”

      Fun fact: Community is (or at least was) filmed on the same lot as Glee. In fact, right next to each other, I think. That may be partially why Dan Harmon seems to hate Glee.

        The other reason is that he’s smart and perceptive.

    Shameless Self promoting again…

    Theres something about the next episode that’s already bothering me…Apparently they’re covering Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night” – the same song whose music video had both Kevin Mchale and Darren Criss in it.  Come on, really?? Its like Glee, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga have some conspiracy where they constantly advertise each other in some bizarre endless cycle until people become stupid enough to keep paying them to hear the exact same crap over and over again

    • Anonymous

      Oh, I’m sure that they have a very important artistic reason for including Last Friday Night in the show, i.e. they had four extra minutes of screen time to fill.

      • http://thefutureamerican.wordpress.com Jaycee

        And when exposition and character development just won’t do, there’s always shameless self-promotion.

        • Nathan T

          not to mention its a song about taking too many shots, maxing out credit cards, breaking the law, and having menage a trois…..

          ……being sung by high school students.

          hey, anyone still wanna use that lame-o excuse that this is a family show???  anyone????????

          • http://thefutureamerican.wordpress.com Jaycee

            Seriously. If I were a more puritanical person, I would probably accuse Katy Perry of deliberately glorifying needlessly risky and self-destructive behavior for American youth, and subsequently accuse Glee of aiding and abetting her. But, no, she’s just a shitty singer who writes shitty songs.

            Also, Blaine, when was glee club ever about fun? I thought it was about self-acceptance! Or . . . togetherness? Defeating the bullies of the world? The love of music? Rainbows and smiles? DECIDE, MURPHY. DECIDE.

          • Nathan T

            actually jaycee, its about winning at nationals and proving to all those people who didnt like your shitty performance how much better than them you are.

          • Biestiality

            That is possibly the stupidest song of the year, especially since Katy Perry is 27 years old! Most of my friends outgrew that crap in their early 20s.

          • http://thefutureamerican.wordpress.com Jaycee

            Sadly, Biestiality, some of my friends still do that shit in their mid-20′s. Usually the ones who are still looking for a full-time job. The song actually sounds a lot like the “Epic Friday” the graduating class before mine told us about. So not only is it a bad song, it’s also a complete rip-off.

          • Anonymous

            Slightly off-topic, but my favorite part of the Katy Perry music video is that it’s set in the 80s. Even though the lyrics mention posting pictures online. With intelligence like that, the writers of that song could totally write for Glee.

  • Changed my name

    No words can properly describe my loathing of this episode and I know next week it’s gonna get worse. That Baby Ruth in the catbox moment? I felt sick and I screamed. Fuck this show.
    Can’t wait till your next blog. Please, rip this episode apart, in the name of all that is holy.

      How cool was it that the hockey team made an appearance??? Other than that, I wasn’t paying much attention when it was on and nothing sticks out in my memory.

      It seems like the Gleeks (particularly the ones on IMDB) absolutely despise the new Irish kid, though, and are angry that he was cast on account of a reality show. It’s fun watching them on the verge of disillusion, about to realize that their show is nothing but one big cash cow.

      • Changed my name

        Really? They hate the new character? LOL That is funny! There are also people daring to comment on the glee facebook things that the writing and ‘plots’ of the show are complete shit and gleeks are even acknowledging the fact! Took them long enough! lol

        • pippin

          What on earth was Ryan Murphy thinking with that new kid? I mean he’s so…young compared to those other actors. Look at him!  Its like he should be in high school or something!

          Oh…wait…..

          • Nathan T

            another ratings drop guys.  almost a million viewers lost in a week.

        • partytime

          If you go over to the tumblr blogs the fangirls love him which means he’ll probably be on there forever because this show needs all the fans it can get… which wouldn’t be so bad if he could just sing his lines instead of speaking them.
          As far as his acting I  thought bad acting was a prerequisite for even being on the show.

      • Anonymous

        I almost wish I’d watched the reality show now, because I’m curious about what the judging process was like. Clearly the ability to act wasn’t a factor.

          Check out the section “Contest process” and you’ll notice a pattern; singing, singing with a little bit of acting, singing, singing. Acting was only the tiniest of factors.

          • Anonymous

            Weird. Why put so much emphasis on singing when they’ll probably end up using autotune anyway?

        • Eden

          The judging process can only be described as really, really fucked up. Its hard to explain how little sense it made. Basically the contestants would perform a music video and the only person who talked to them and watched and coached them throughout the week was someone (whos name I cba to remember) that didn’t even pick the winner. Murphster, the guy that ultimately decided who moved on at the end of every week, only ever saw the contestants when the bottom three sang a song for them as a “last chance”. He never saw them acting. Basically, he picked them based up whether or not he could write a character for their personality. In other words, he didn’t pick them based upon how well they could portray someone who is not them (also known as acting), but the exact opposite. Damian and his god awful acting is a direct result of Ryan Murphy’s stupidity.

          • Time Lady Loranos

            I still say that Damian was only chosen as a “winner” of TGP because of the fan base he had when he was a part of Celtic Thunder. This being said by a Celtic Thunder fan.

            I know that most, if not all, of the CT fans never cared about Glee one whit until and even after Damo started watching it himself after being introduced to the programme when he was in America for one of the CT tours. How he could stand watching Glee when his own country has the amazing ‘Father Ted’ and ‘Mrs. Brown’s Boys’, I’ll never understand. And even now that he’s on Glee, there are CT fans who don’t give a shite anyways. Glee is still the worst programme ever made. (I blame it on the fact that it’s completely American even with foreigners being cast.)

            Also don’t believe it to be Damo’s fault that he’s not too good at acting. He has a horrible acting coach. All the Glee cast members have them. It’s like watching dozens of Bella Swans running around all poker faced. That’s the only expression they know how to show and it’s all because of their extremely horrible acting coaches.

            Whatever happened to that thing that actors usually have that is described in short as natural acting? Oh yeah, all the actors who have it are in the U.K. And all the good writers and directors went with them! Well, at least BBC was kind enough to take pity on North America and give us BBCA.
