Yeah, basically, I think it was on before South Park or something else I liked on CC. But yeah, that sounds about right, although the bit where they cut in line for Star Wars Episode I tickets pissed off all the nerds in line, might have been the most mean that the Kimmel/Carrolla seasons got.


Girls jumping on trampolines was always played during the end credits.

Even when they were mean it was usually in the name of a joke, like the one bit where they asked women how much they weighed while the platform they were standing on had a hidden scale so they could see how.much they were lying.

The Man Show Boy segments with Andy Milonakis were hilariously cruel though, like him going up to young women while wearing a boy scout uniform and trying to help them cross the street while explaining that he had to "help old ladies" for a merit badge.

It's starting to look this way, yeah. I've been reading a couple blind gossip sites because I don't want to be blindsided again the way I was about Jesse Lacey and there's a couple things that have been posted about stars I like that I'm hoping are just made up bullshit... but I know better.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
You can probably go a step past that and assume that anyone in a band has at best an even shot at having slept with a kid.

I know, I should have known better, but while (almost) everyone else was being dragged through the mud Jesse's name never came up, so I thought he was different.

Nope, and surprise! He was worse than most of them.

I still don't really like the plot or characters much anymore but the production of the faux one-take episode was breathtaking and made me glad I didn't bail after last season.

Women in those scenes, too - I don't want to "come forward" about the woman indie rocker who forced herself on me, because I forgave it and she seems to be okay now. Being horny, often drunk, and in your 20s is a bad combo. I've often told my wife that I was "an rear end in a top hat" in my 20s, but compared to most people I've been in bands with... I mean hell, even just 10 years ago I was in a band with a guy who forcibly smooched me while drunk, and it was... pretty gross.

Finishing House of Cards Season 5 and holy poo poo, I can't wait to see what a garbage fire of a President Claire Underwood is going to be. She's always been superbly self-assured and utterly in love with herself and who she thinks she is, yet, doesn't deserve to be at all, but here she is.

She's Peggy Hill if Peggy Hill got to the White House.


And, as always, everything happens too conveniently for the Underwoods, right down to Doug falling on the sword like the dutiful right-hand man he always was. I''m also surprised Conway didn't kill himself because holy poo poo, did he look unstable.

I want to say the original version was way more self parody where the latter was just kind of unironic embracing. But I have no idea and it's just as likely that the show started when I was young and dumb enough to enjoy that stuff and by the end I had grown up past it.

The original definitely felt way too over the top to not be parody, but after listening to carolla's podcast for a bit when it first started, I'm not sure he wasn't serious about it. When he doesn't have a Kimmel or a Dr Drew to keep him grounded, dude is just like a proto-MRA.

the Rogan / Stanhope Man Show was unmitigated poo poo though and I'm glad we can all agree on that.
