SEX BURRITO posted:Well here’s the cameo if you want to watch it: https://youtu.be/Tu1gj010oa8 In fairness back then that veneer of being successful was still working for Donald, back then he was just a harmless public figure who came off as a bit of a moron. I'm not even sure the "tried to bully Marla Maples into an abortion" thing was public knowledge yet. At least they waited until the last episode for that poo poo.

El Gallinero Gros posted:There's a few issues with Fresh Prince but most of it isn't social stuff that makes you go "Huh". They also did a 4th wall joke about Vivian's actress change too once. She and Jazz are both in the kitchen doing whatever, and he gives her a sideeye, and then says "man....something about you just seems so different since you had that baby..." This may have resulted in a "throw Jazz out the door" gag. And speaking of that running gag, I think the fact that the clips were so brief, about half the time you'd expect on a sitcom to go with the gag, is what kept them so funny. Like, it'd cut him off mid scream and last maybe a second tops.

Yeah the sad thing about the aunt Viv thing is that the original actress was this regal as gently caress,dark skinned lady, which was really cool. And then they replaced her with this light skinned lady with much less presence. She has alleges that Will Smith on the reg and continuously mocked her skin color in front of the audience before tapings. But she also has a reputation for being very difficult. It did give us one of the greatest meta moments in history though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NrsaTwx3OA Aesop Poprock posted:Pretty much the only thing good about the Simpsons anymore is the guest animation openings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5nrFsO8VvU

Calaveron posted:Remember Donald Trump's cameo Apparently he used to demand a small cameo as a condition of allowing people to film in any of his hotels or other properties. People would say "sure, whatever", film the scene, then immediately edit it out (or sometimes they'd just pretend to film it then tell him later that "whoops guess the camera went wrong and we don't have time to re-shoot it"). Occasionally the scene would get left in, like Home Alone 2. Sweevo has a new favorite as of 13:26 on Dec 11, 2017 |

It also shouldn't be a surprise that before the Apprentice show the guy was mostly known for being famous (and wealthy and a bit of a buffoon). It's not exactly a rocket science, or unheard of, why a celebrity endorsing poo poo as his main line of business keeps appearing everywhere.

It’s a shame because you rarely see dark skinned women on TV. Even on TV shows where most of the cast are black, they are never the lead roles. Original Aunt Viv seemed cool and fierce, and her dance episode was awesome.

While not TV, back in early 2004 the dance school I was at did a show that I think was sponsored by the local mall? All the dances were themed around different stores in the mall so there was one for Disney Store and Sunglasses Hut and McDonalds and whatever and it was really tacky and grim. Then the next year a new, better mall opened a few streets over and half of all the good stores moved to there and then two years after that the financial crisis hit and pretty much all the rest of them closed down and now the mall is more or less dead and the dance show DVD serves as a really weird time capsule to the time before the mall died. Also one of the dances was Jake the Peg and that hasn't aged well either.

I find the most dated thing about watching the early Simpsons seasons now is all the commentary on television culture and journalism. Part of it is I didn't really pick up on it when I saw it as a kid but also how little commercial television we watch now because of Netflix and the like.

Send that to the guys at RLM cuz it sounds great.

Watching a bunch of kids doing a weird swooping interpretive dance to Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) is etched into my mind more than a decade on, but I think you're imaging a much more entertaining dvd than it really is. It's just really weird seeing all the old stores and thinking oh yeah there was a H&M in the old mall and Virgin Music was a thing back then....and they sponsored our dance show for some reason?

I watched an interview with the woman who played Aunt Viv before being replaced, and it became clear pretty quick that she was a loon. She had the crazy eyes.

It's worth noting that women, and especially women of color, tend to get reputations for being "very difficult" in Hollywood because they catch horrible poo poo and fire back instead of just sitting there and taking it. It's entirely possible that her allegation and her reputation are pretty intertwined here, especially given that it's Will loving Smith she's angry at.

The actress I remember showed up on VH1's Celebrity Rehab. Apparently after getting the axe she eventually turned to porn (under the stage name "Crave") and like, her whole life revolved around pot.

Celebrity Rehab doesn’t age well since so many of the cast on it have died. It was a bit depressing watching it on Netflix and having to google each celeb because I couldn’t remember whether they’d actually ODed in some horrible way.

Yes but she had also said that if a reunion was to happen she wouldn't be part of it. I was just watching the E! Hollywood True Story on The Coreys and boy is it awkward to watch knowing how severely abused they were. Like every time a dude who worked with them was in the picture all I can think is "Did you do it or if not, did you know?" At one point they for some reason show a picture of Correy Haim in just his underwear. https://youtu.be/P4rioBVJ6Xs?t=6m43s

Seeing old interviews from Babylon 5 where the cast commented on how difficult and crazy the guy who played Sinclair was is a lot more difficult to watch after it was revealed he was a paranoid schizophrenic, and had to quit acting because of his mental health problems.
