You guys are just upset this news dropped before Videogum made the change to their new brand, “vidz plz biatch”

It’s true. I wear this female costume to handicap myself.

Well he certainly didn’t win any speech delivery competitions.

Boom. Come on, Kelly, serve up some more eleven-year-olds for me to roast.

“What is happening?” -Kirk Douglas

“WHAT?”

I’m also glad she didn’t end up with anyone in the end, but it raises the question: what exactly was the purpose of her childhood friend, then? I can’t think of one significant thing that he did. Does every plot with the hint of a romance need to throw in a third character now, just to make sure everyone is adequately tortured? Not that they spent any time developing a relationship between any two characters in this movie.

And all the grandpas say she’d rather fly, over sky dive

How does one subscribe to your more detailed thoughts on Mad Men? I was into those.

Whoa. Whoa whoa, hold the phone, full commenting history? How did I miss that? I feel like 56 pages is low for the amount of time I’ve spent here.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go try and sell Mans’ entire body of work as a memoir.

Well the video’s been removed already, so clearly she didn’t want to get too famous.

And while you’re at it, a daily “Here are some Afternoon Links to Worst Movie of All Time Posts” feature would be nice.

I’m not saying you should do it, I’m just saying it would be nice.

It’s a joke, but this is kind of a good point. People watched the Muppets to ‘feel good’ amidst all the heavy-handed seriousness or plain old bad quality garbage going on around it. We’ve just found a much more efficient way to get our dose of that. The Internet has become the new escape where we can get that instant shot of pleasure from watching a cat video or a two-year old falling down the stairs or whatever, that we might have once got from a show like the Muppets (that was as much slapstick as it was sentimental). It’s just in a format now where every 90 seconds we get to choose what form that entertainment takes. It removes the cultural significance that something like the Muppets had because none of us is watching the same thing, but then we create communities like Videogum to showcase what we’re watching in a way that we can share and enjoy them together, and develop them into our own form of pop culture.

So I guess what I’m trying to say is, we are our Muppets.

Or, if you’re looking for a more long-form equivalent actually related to the medium being discussed, how about Pixar?

“Siri, will you teach me how to Dougie?”
