The only funny outcome of this convo is if VanSandman thought we were talking about Elisabeth Shue and trying to figure out what version of the Karate Kid we all must have seen.

hyperhazard posted:Yeah, I liked the new Unsolved Mysteries, but it's like an itch that can't be scratched. I'm fine with an alien encounter being unsolved and mysterious, or the unexplained death of a spy 30 years ago. I'm less fine with a teenager being recently murdered for being Hispanic and his killer remaining a mystery. not to mention the fact that even when the paranormal wasn't being invoked, the old unsolved mysteries had a good knack for picking interesting cases where there was some genuine enigma to wrap your mind around that elevated it above other, more typical inquiries... like a murder victim apparently living a double life nobody knew about until the investigation that may have either caught up with him or may be totally unrelated, or a good old fashioned locked-room murder conundrum or some other truly unusual circumstance like, you can't just have a case that's unsolved... you need some kind of mystery too hard counter has a new favorite as of 20:30 on Jan 18, 2021 |

Crimes no one had been charged for, what does this weird tiktok mean, who is this odd Reddit user, etc. Maybe we're just running out of mysterious things

Beyond Belief was funny because a lot of the "fact" stories were well known urban legends and not fact at all.

The Beyond Belief story that I remember was the one where a girl swallowed a jellyfish egg at the beach, which grew insider her, making her appear to be pregnant. Was it a true story, or am I telling you a fish tale? I'll reveal the answer next post.

the_steve posted:I mean, yeah, pretty drat cringey to be chanting "take it off" at her considering what made her famous in the first place. Those shows are extremely wholesome and there were at least two full seasons of Masked_____ (not counting other countries' versions) that she no doubt saw before she agreed to the show. Just because those words can be sexual doesn't mean they always are. This is like that King of the Hill episode with that guy saying That's what she said about everything.

Nottherealaborn posted:Wholesome? Those shows are peak celebrity tv cringe For the American version at least, if not wholesome, then perhaps inoffensive? It’s like the lettuce of television. If you compare it to a lot of other “celebrity judging” shows, the judges are always positive and encouraging, contestants aren’t on the show because they’re objectively awful, the “drama” is all playfully manufactured ribbing. The edgiest person to ever even judge there is Joel McHale, the guy E! used to pay to make fun of E!. The most unforgivable thing about the show is that it gives a mouthpiece to Jenny McCarthy, but I think she and the producers know the gravy train will be over the moment she starts spouting off about vaccines.

But it’s just so fake and shallow, more so even than celebrities on daytime talk shows. Reminds me of the Bo Burnham bit making fun of the celebrity lip-sync show: https://youtu.be/yLNuqYgmwS0

What exactly is fake about it, do you think? The audience doesn't know who the singers/ dancers are. Some of the costumes in Singer are emmy-worthy It's a fun, harmless show. Not everything needs to be masterpiece theatre

I don't watch it religiously, but I agree that it's harmless, and kinda fun to see some celebrities doing things you wouldn't expect. I think Ice-T was one of the first masked dancers revealed

I loved that show. I remember watching it with my brother on the Sci-Fi Channel over the summers at our grandparent's house. Just the right mixture of goofy and spooky, we had lots of fun trying to figure out which ones were "real" and which were made up for the show.

Do the judges on Masked Singer get a list of possible singers? ' Cause a lot of these celebrities are deep cuts. Still, it's pretty funny seeing a bunch of Gen Xers pretending to be starstruck by loving Ninja.

You seem to be a cynic to the point of being pitiable Some things are just fun to be fun and those judges are not all that good of actors to be faking the whole thing. Even if they were though, that has little bearing on the actual audience's experience
