Pattern Recognition: Free Absurdist Cable Television.

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

Each of the big adultswim.com premieres this week are absurdist explorations of male-only parenthood. They’re so goddamn serious about being retarded that they can only be described at cutting-edge-ridingly hip.

  • Garth Marenghi’s main character acquires a baby man-eye that drives him a bit crazy.
  • Xavier finds himself in the care of seven babies after he steals them, and then solves the mystery of who stole them before he does a phoenix act.
  • Tim and Eric introduce their huge collection of cutting edge children, all conditioned and disciplined to be ready to active achievers in the next generation.
  • Boondocks hasn’t been getting along this season (unwatchable again this week), taking itself way the fuck too seriously.
  • Check the full Tom Goes to the Mayor episode this week entitled “Glass Eyes” to get an eyeful of retardedly serious nonsense.

Stupid serious is a serious phase of hilarity.

I follow up tomorrow.

It’s a Cool World after all.

Enchanted is so stupid that it had to have been written by the small children slaving away in a behind-the-scenes writer’s sweatshop inside the it’s a small world ride.

Millions of people saw it today. Trillions of brains cells melted.

Please leave your change in the cup.

The problem with the Nintendo Wii is that there are so few decent games that the prices will stay stubbornly high indefinitely, even for used copies.

Pattern Recognition: Series of Tubes.

I’m exhausting myself from lung gyration as I’m drowning myself in fucking balls-deep internet humor and it’s been quite a long time since I’d gotten to the thick of it. I’d link some up but fuck you.

It’s like this haven where the assholes of the world can practice their craft, and no one is really harmed unless they fit very specific guidelines. That’s entertainment. That shit can’t be sold, bought, or written.

If the old internet had hypertext, the new internet has hyperhumor, and other such words so unbelievabearably gay that they should not exist.

The power of THE WIKI is indeniable.
