off-color commentary

Well, our shows are winding down (or done) and summer is almost here, and you know what that means!  So much reality TV!  And so much drinking!  So go grab yourself a tall glass of Fame Whore Punch (it works because it sounds like a cocktail AND because we want to punch the fame whores, see?) and shit, put it on the rocks, because we are about to get as wasted as all of our primetime hours this summer!

Drink every time:

  • someone says, “It is what it is.”
  • they get in a hot tub.
  • someone refers to other (non-relative) cast members as “family”.
  • someone says, “I’m not here to make friends.”
  • someone says that this has been an incredible journey, amazing experience, or some variation of those.
  • the show switches to night vision cameras.
  • someone refers to throwing someone under the ever-present proverbial bus.
  • someone says “on the chopping block.”
  • someone tells a sob story about why they need whatever money is at stake (extra drink if they’re lying).
  • a body part has to be blurred out.
  • there’s a fight!  (Fight! Fight! Fight!) Extra drink for a girl fight (which we all know is the best fight)!
  • anyone refers to an alliance.
  • an alliance is formed, and someone immediately declares in a talking head that they’re BS-ing the others (more than one BS-er? One drink for each!)
  • someone is staring pensively into the distance.
  • someone refers to themselves in third person.
  • people pull covers over their heads while messing around, like everyone doesn’t know EXACTLY what’s happening.
  • someone listens to a conversation through a wall or door.
  • someone threatens to just go home.
  • someone is asked if they even really want to be there.
  • anything with flashing lights (bam-ba-lance, cop car, firetruck) shows up.
  • one cast member wears another cast member’s clothes (extra drink if they’re hooking up).
  • someone is pissed about where they have to sleep.
  • there are two or more people in a talking head.
  • one cast member impersonates another.
  • the show cuts to commercial (probably mid-sentence) just before a dramatic reveal or elimination.
  • a “celebrity” makes a surprise appearance (extra drink if it’s a former contestant/cast member).
  • someone says “make it your/my own”.
  • someone cheats on an off-screen/at home significant other.
  • someone who thinks they are “100% safe” gets sent home.
  • someone says, “I didn’t think it would be this hard!” (or some variation). Extra drink for tears.
  • straight girls kiss each other for attention.
  • someone drinks straight from a liquor or wine bottle.
  • someone talks on a cell phone on speakerphone (ugh, the worst).

Any other ideas?  I know there have got to be some other great ones out there, and I can’t wait to hear them in the comments!  (And special thanks to twinkiesandwine for her help with this post!)

Hey, kids! How did you survive finale week? To tell you the truth, I just made it. What is TV trying to do to us?! Anyway, it was a long weekend here in Canada, so I hope you appreciate me staying in on my holiday Monday to put together this shit show post for you. This roundup will be pretty bananas because of all the finales, but you’ll get through it. Just let this baby load and enjoy. Of course, the post will be half Supernatural and New Girl (cause, duh), and the rest of the gang of regulars: Mindy Project, Awkward, Orphan Black, Game of Thrones, TVD, Arrow, Grimm, Nikita, and a few from The Office and SNL (goodbye Stefon!).

You guys, it’s the finale–I don’t even have any pre-game in me, there’s so much to cover.  So let’s just jump right in, shall we?

Come on, supernatural creatures.  Don’t you have anywhere better to meet up than at the setup for a high school graduation?  Like, I don’t know, a bar?  A cellar?  A … where else do they go in Mystic Falls?  Also … why is the mic just turned on, and why does Kol need a mic to talk to like … twenty four people, not all of whom even showed up?  But you know, this is just the first of many, many … MANY questions I’ll have during this episode, and these rank fairly minor, so let’s just … not, shall we?

Oh my god, Lexi and drunk Stefan dance party to Bon Jovi!  Yaaaaay!  Well, Stefan’s more doing The White Man’s Overbite on the couch, but I think it counts, because it looks super fun and Stefan is finally the fun one and Damon is the worried one, which proves once and for all that Elena’s type is just whoever sucks the most at a given moment.  And good god, Stefan killed me with the hero hair line, which of course is the title.  Such a Damon line, actually, but expertly delivered.  Snark looks good on you, Stefan!

Do you guys think Bonnie’s body is starting to stink yet?  Jeremy started to stink.  Just saying.

Speaking of Jeremy, I LOVED the scene with Jeremy, Alaric, and Elena eating sandwiches and giving each other shit.  And everyone was so happy!  We don’t get a whole whole lot of that on this show, so when we do, it’s fun and nice.  And then Elena, of course, gets teary-eyed and buzzkills the whole scene, as usual.  And then she beat the dead horse that she just buzzkilled by talking about her fucking feelings.  So much eye roll.

I’m not real sure how much I’m going to discuss the vampire hunters, at least in the beginning parts.  They were pretty much just hanging out and fucking shit up, and that’s about all that needs to be said about it for now.  Except for the fact that Rebekah’s caveman boyfriend’s hair was hilarious, and also?  Do you guys remember how last week I made an Encino Man joke?  I, NO SHIT, saw an Encino Man thing happening on the streets of downtown St. Petersburg.  It was probably just some recreationally homeless hipster, but he had the gross Encino Man hair, and he was like a little skinny fat and walking around with no shirt on, only plaid shorts and shower shoes, and he paced the street I was on like four times, and the only noteworthy thing he did, besides completely entertain me with his whole persona, was pause to pull a cigarette butt out of an ashtray on a sidewalk table and try to smoke it.  Hee!  I felt like it was the universe’s little gift to me.

S8 title cardI don’t even know where to begin!  First off, I didn’t get to watch live because of crazy spring storms and tornadoes and weather people thinking the weather is way more important than the season finale of Supernatural.  Honestly, the CW news people suck big donkey balls and just need to leave the real reporting to the real networks.  I am fine, but it was scary and I watched a download in the closet.  And I can’t read my notes so I am going to watch again.

I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see the “Road So Far” as we start the finale.  It’s just warms my heart even when it’s full of death and head shopping and people (and monsters) that aren’t’ around anymore.

There’s something that happens to my brain in May. Everything starts to scramble and I feel like I’m super busy all the time, but the weather still isn’t quite warm enough and I just want to eat brunch outside without wearing a jacket. You know what I mean?

It’s because of this brain scramble that I didn’t realize that there was a New Girl episode on last week.

For real. I had NO IDEA there was an episode. I thought it was a re-run. And then I was going through my DVR last night and was like, “What is this New Girl episode on here?” And then I realized.

God.

Hey, guys. Hope you had a great relaxing weekend, because I’ve got a full gif roundup for you this week. Many shows are wrapping up soon and, can you believe it, summer shows starting soon. Ahh!

And of course, Mindy Project, Arrow, Game of Thrones, and the season finales of Community and Hart of Dixie. Half of this post is probably going to be Supernatural and New Girl, because, this is me… Okay, onward ho!

S8 title card

 

I can’t lie.  I always love/hate the last 3 episodes of any Supernatural season.  They are ALWAYS gut wrenching and heartbreaking and disturbing.  And this episode does not disappoint.

Clip Show starts with a man and woman in a cabin. The woman seems happy but the guy is uneasy.  As I would be.  Because camping?  Yuck.  Even in a cabin.  And it’s partly because of Supernatural.  Wendigo is one of my favorite episodes.  I won’t say I wasn’t disappointed that it wasn’t Cory Monteith who’s head exploded.  But it wasn’t.  It was Tommy Collins the survivor of that episode.  His head just exploded.  Kablooey!

Introducing Bluebell's Ultimate Power Couple!

Introducing Bluebell’s Ultimate Power Couple!

That’s a wrap folks! Hart of Dixie has said goodbye for the summer but the shenanigans of our favourite Bluebell residents will continue in the fall! That said, the finale was a bit lacklustre…a bit meh. And frankly, I’m not even sure I have a whole lot to say about it! But I’ll be sure to give it a try!

I did like the ending of the episode. Giving some of the characters a bit of a different direction might prove revitalising for next season. And hopefully create some new story lines, though preferably none which includes the giant asshole with a stethoscope, Jonah (ugh).

With fairy tale music striking chords in our romantic hearts, the dream within the dream turns out to be reality! Zoe did indeed have a good time with Wade no matter how much she wants to Inception her way out of remembering it! And then George walks in.

Can you believe we’ve reached the 70th gif roundup already? Yikes, I can’t. That’s so many days of my life looking at gifs and formatting posts. Whew! As expected, I’ve got a doozie of a roundup for you this week. Dylan O’Brien graced us with his super attractive presence on New Girl, Happy Endings closed out it’s shortened third season with two episodes, Kevin and Cas both returned to Supernatural as badasses, and Parks and Rec wrapped up another great season. Other shows included this week, Awkward, Mindy Project, Arrow, Grimm, TVD, Orphan Black, Nikita, and Game of Thrones. I won’t waste anymore  time with the talky talk. You might want to let this load for awhile, it’s heavy. Alright, let’s do this.

Founder’s Week. Wait, is this the highly anticipated Parks & Rec / Vampire Diaries crossover event: Vampires & Recreation?

No, it’s just a week-long celebration of all things Pawnee culminating in a parade that “Makes the Rose Parade look like a ‘turds on wheels’ convention”. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There was so much happening in this episode that I probably missed a few things, but whatever, a great episode.
