Operation Watch This: Fred Armisen's Intervention Intervention

Easily the funniest television parody that includes the name of the show being parodied in the name of the parody since Prison Prison Break.

For some reason I really want to watch Police Women of Broward County now. Strange.

Favorite Intervention lines ever:

"These guys, they just love you like crazy."
"They're gonna say some things, and then you'll say some things, and then we're done."

BOOOOO! Fred is on the list of The ViGum Ladies' boyfriends. (In front of the guy who paid with pennies in the impound lot, but behind Bobby Bottleservice.)

Settle down, Fred, you'll stay on the list. (And enough with the third-person speak.) Just know that you are now officially tied with Joe Piscopo for most heinous looking SNL cast member of all time. Ugly's only funny to a point.

I watched 5 episodes of Intervention and 2 of Obsessed on Monday. I'm not even joking. A Funny or Die video parody is my actual life. FML?
