Operation Watch This: Pilgrims

It is, like, totally Thanksgiving n stuff, you guys, so this is just, like, supes appropes or whatevs. I bet if I was a pilgrim I would have totally died from EMBARRASSMENT. I would be like, MOM, GET OUT OF MY ROOM, and my mom would be like, BUT OUR HOUSE ONLY HAS ONE ROOM, and I'd be like YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING, and she'd be like, WELL THERE ISN'T A LOT OF ACCESS TO EDUCATION FOR ANYONE, AND ESPECIALLY NOT FOR WOMEN, and then we'd read the bible but I wouldn't be happy about it. (Thanks for the tip, Edith.)

I always wondered why Pilgrims had trouble keeping their pants up. I never bought into the mantra that it was because they had belts on their hats. Nice try, Bert and Ernie.

Is there a joke here I don't get? I mean, I know we've got pilgrims and conquistadors (anachronistic lols) talking like contemporary teens (more anachronistic lols!). But the joke goes on too long and it isn't that funny? Is there more I'm missing?

Ooooh, it's a parody of The Hills? That's what I'm missing. I've never seen that show. Thank you!

I watched about ten minutes of Laguna Beach a few years ago and it was the only time I've ever watched one of those shows and it was probably the longest ten minutes of my life. This pretty accurately captured that moment.


(But with pilgrims)

So, moonmaster and DS3M are all, "We didn't land on Laguna Beach! Laguna Beach landed on us!" So, they're like Malcolm X to this video.


Eh, it was funnier in my head (when it was Denzel's voice saying the words). Oh well, Happy American Thanksgiving, everybody!

I'm filled with mild jealousy that Canadian thanksgiving could never beget something like this.

"You look good in armor." I can't tell you how bad I just want somebody to tell me that. You think a suit of armor is easy to put on, you think its not exhausting to wear? I go through a lot of trouble to dress like this, and not because I'm afraid of an attack. Its because I look good in it and I want for that to be acknowledged.

Ponce de León looks

Or at least,
I think.
No slomo.

If I could marry a youtube video -- well, I wouldn't marry this one. But I'd definitely go on a walk with it.

the funny parts were in the beginning (the dialogue right before that fat pilgrim walked up) and the end (when she was like 'he's gone to europe or something. whatever.') some theme music would've been nice, also.

Wertrew, I'll forgive you this once because normally you make me laugh with your gifs.

My favorite part was when Heidi-Pilgrim says she likes Audrinna/LC-Pilgrim's "this" and fondles her bonnet....wait a minute, fondles her bonnet... have I just invented a new sexual innuendo?
