So, there is some good news and some bad news for the Gleeheads today. The good news is that after an extended-hiatus, Glee is back on the air! Yay? Yay! I have never watched an episode of Glee in my life, but I can imagine that if you like this show, this is great. I mean, there are other shows that I have watched that have gone on extended-hiatus and when they come back after a hiatus–OK, I think you get my point. Now, for the bad news. Are you sitting down? SIt down, please. Videogum’s resident Glee Expert, Gabe Liedman, will no longer be able to cover the show for this website. Obviously, this is unfortunate, and he will be missed. But before you start crying into the sleeve of your letter jacket (which is not that great of a kind of sleeve to cry into, btw. It’s not absorbent!) know that he has a very good reason for leaving us: he has been hired to write for a new Vh1 morning talk show and also to APPEAR on that show! WOWOWOWOWOW! YESSSS! So, you see, when God closes a Glee recap, he opens a Vh1 morning talk show. Not so bad! Chins up, tigers! Let’s all please wish Soft Gabe well in his new adventures, and let’s do our best to pick up his slack by discussing the episodes together, like a family. He can never be replaced, but we should try our best to replace him. Never forget.

  1. This news is even worse than that horrible episode. :(

  2. Really? Because I heard he was fired for repeatedly sending death threats to Rebecca Black.

  3. RIP Soft Gabe

    I think he’d want us to talk about Cheyenne Jackson’s face right? Let’s do that

    • He’s hot, good looking, easy on the eyes. Oh yeah, and also, he’s gorgeous.

      • That guy has tiny baby hands. Seriously, it’s weird. Once I saw him try and pick up a Big Mac, he couldn’t do it. He had to eat it layer by layer. Teeny, tiny, wee baby hands

      • Despite most of the jokes being lazy, Cheyenne Jackson was pretty hilarious.

        Also: “How do you manage to enter a building without setting off all of the fire alarms?”

  4. Where do I submit my resume to take over Gleecaps? They’d be a lot less lustful and a lot more crotchety, though.

    P.S. If anybody has a copy of my original avatar they can send me, that would be pretty great. I forgot when I replaced it that the old one was saved on a computer that no longer exists RIP Soft Gabe and also RIP old Facetaco avatar.

    • Put your face back on, you monster.

    • Oh, look at you beating me to asking about resumes! Does this mean we can have a Glee-Off Facetaco?

      Because I will plan to smack you down like the hand of God. (Artie reference, looooooook at me goooooooo!)

      • Please, I will render you as inconsequential as Sunshine Corazon, the new character who was set up as a rival for Rachel in the first episode of this season, and then never mentioned again!

        • SHE DOESN’T EVEN GO HERE!

          Oh deary, I think maybe you should just back out… A FORS I ENDS YOU.

          Oh, and also, I have razor blades hidden in my hair.

          • No, she went off to Vocal Adrenaline! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO VOCAL ADRENALINE?! Did they move to a different region? Or did we just stop caring about them? WHO EVEN KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE ANYMORE?!

          • Yeah, I stopped questioning reality in this show when they had a benefit concert in which NONE OF THE GLEE CLUBS PARENTS ATTENDED. Are they orphans? Do their parents hate showtunes? Not even Burt Hummel shows up?! Those kids SANG AT YOUR WEDDING Burt Hummel from Guts… fucking buy a ticket to your step-son’s Glee Club fundraiser!

            Glee… I swear… this show is like an abusive husband!

  5. Soft Gabe’s recaps were definitely the best (only?) reason to watch Glee. He will be missed.

  6. Oh no! And right after Mercedes FINALLY got to scream Aretha! I just looked up at the ceiling and screamed “SOFFFTTTT GAAAAAABE!!!!!” because it is the only reasonable reaction to this news.

  7. Here’s a recap: Last night’s episode was composed of stunt casting and garbage. Gwyneth continues to be the worst and she butchered and Adele song. WOOF.

    • It was the worst cover on Glee ever. Good riddance GOOP, I say.

    • Ahhhh, I don’t know. I thought the cover was FINE. Not good, but FINE. There are songs on Glee I would listen to less…

      But, uh, going back to Aretha Franklin being a neglected artist (BAHAHAHAHAHAH!)… I mean, what was the point of Holly singing in that benefit? To that song?
      You want a more powerful/rational episode?

      GIVE MERCEDES’ THE ADELE SONG YOU ASSHATS

  8. God damnit, that’s the third good friend I lost this year (for those keeping count, Friday Night Lights and Greek). You will be missed, dear Gleecap.

  9. I screamed “PUNCH HER” not once but twice last night. There was some seriously stupid shit going on last night.

  10. i really liked that part where…. aww who the fuck am i kidding

  11. Soft Gabe! Noooooooooooooo. But, congrats!

    Applications to fill in? Because I love Glee more than I love every human being in my workplace… even when the episode is lazy filler with no sense of character development or continuity.

    Becky knows what I’m talking about.

  12. Bye, Soft Gabe! You will be missed.

    In lieu of Soft Gabe’s recap of last night’s GLEE, here’s James Van Der Beek’s:

  13. I have faith that the 90-minute Born This Way episode will make up for this bullshit, mostly because of these two gifs Tumblr has been kind enough to share with me:

  14. where will i find the inspiration to wake up on wednesdays now? i need time to process such terrible news.

    love,
    soft gabe’s #1 fan

  15. I’m surprised this hasn’t been mentioned yet:

  16. also, could the glee peeple please stop stunt casting and just let the damn kids sing! the first episode back after a 2454215132135 week hiatus and we get a song from mercedes and HALF a song from tina?! for shame, glee. for shame.

  17. I love that Gwyneth was able to find a proper platform to call out all the people who spend their days on the internet making fun of strangers that have more money and more interesting sex. It was an important issue that needed to be addressed and she did it with the style and grace one comes to expect from such an iconic figurehead. I also kind of remember saying those people were monsters, but I was a little tipsy on a 1982 Lafite-Rothschild.

  18. He’s gone? But I thought the deal was back and forth FOREVER!

  19. It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterGabe!

  20. I actually liked the episode?

    This makes me sad. The Game of Thrones thread was mostly haters, so is this thread. There aren’t even any funny gifs. What’s the point of commenting on the gleecaps anymore?

  21. I still feel my loss is greater than VH1′s gain. This in no way diminishes VH1′s good fortune, but speaks to how much I appreciate Soft Gabe and his Gleecaps. Thanks Bro.
