Funny Ted is Funny
I felt the need to commemorate this week’s ep of HIMYM, because (as you probably figured out by the title) Ted was actually really funny in it! As much as I love the show, it’s kinda odd how the main character is the least funny one. He’s usually either emo or douchey instead of being [...]
Jerk’s Show Return Spectacular!
I found after watching a couple of the season premieres this season that I had a few words to say about them, but not enough that I thought they warranted a post of their own. But now that I’ve watched all of the premieres (well, almost. Season five sucked enough that I haven’t worked up [...]
Please Stop Doing That
While HIMYM has been hands-down the best sitcom of the current television season, but it has this annoying habit that it still hasn’t managed to shake. Every once in a while they’ll have an episode where Bob Saget’s voiceover will mention how this episode is a vital, nay essential step in the meeting of the [...]
Poor Big Bang Theory
I see in Big Bang Theory the potential for a really awesome sitcom, but I’ve found that very few episodes have lived up to that potential. It has been walking a weird line with it’s geekiness, often you’re amazed at how accurate they are, only to be stunned by a glaring, insanely obvious misstep. I [...]
I want to go to there.
I think this week’s 30 Rock was a perfect example of how the show works best: Take a standard sitcom setup (take an office full of zany characters, throw in the conflict-causing plot du jour), then pump it full of manic energy and film it all through an extra thick lens of surreality. When it [...]
Is it just me or did last week rock?
Last week really stood out to me as one of the best single weeks of TV that I’ve ever experienced. If you go by Sunday as the start of the week (I normally start with Mondays), then it’s even better as it included the awesome Superbowl episode of The Office. But for this post, let’s [...]
eContent FTW!
A bit of Jerk info: Whenever a website is mentioned on a show, I immediately pause the ep and run off to see if it exists. See, one time Conan O’Brien randomly said ‘hornymanatee.com’ on Late Night, which meant NBC had to buy the URL (and Conan decided to do something with it). It turns [...]
Product Placement
The combination of a discussion on advertising with my roommate and this week’s Leverage brought this post about. Product placement is just something that shows have to deal with now in order to get money, for show-making. The thing that ultimately decides if I like the product placement or not is how exactly it’s worked [...]
Golden Globe Predictions
Yeah, this is the post where we make… our Golden Globe Predictions.
We’ve never really been the type to predict the awards mostly because we’re not really ones to sit down and watch the awards. It’s like high school graduation or athletic appreciation night or whatever. I don’t know, we were never on an athletic team. [...]
December, and HIMYM
Harder to come up with daily content when all the shows are on break (except Leverage! On next Tuesday!) you say? Preposterous! Here, enjoy these links to other media! First up is Barney’s Christmas carols from this week’s HIMYM:
And keeping with the theme of How I Met Your Mother and December events, here we have [...]
