Ricky Gervais and Elmo

February 8th, 2010

It has been awhile since my last post so I guess I will throw in some more YouTube filler…

Today we have Ricky Gervais and Elmo… I won’t spoil what is in the videos but I will say that these two should have their own sitcom.

Even More Rick Rolling… of Sorts…

September 8th, 2009

Yeah I know… lack of posts the past two weeks but there really hasn’t been much to blog about.  So instead you guys get another youtube post.  This time it is the Rick Roll mash-ups!!!  Let us begin!!!

My favorite ones are the Sir-Mix-Alot and The Mika ones.  They both seem to fit so well.

Archie gets Engaged… or does he?

August 20th, 2009

Archie

So the big pop-culture news yesterday was that Archie asked Veronica to merry him in issue 600 of the popular comic.

I personally would have chosen Betty, but that really doesn’t matter.  I am just thinking of the reason why Archie chose Veronica over Betty and how this storyline will unfold.

The one which I think will be the best story but probably won’t happen because of its readership is;  Archie is in it for the money,  simple  as that.  He doesn’t love her, heck he probably doesn’t love Betty either.  He just wants the money so he and his stoner, best friend, Jughead can get the bling, get the ladies, and get all the hamburgers they can eat.  I hope Veronica pressures Archie to get a pre-nuptial before they tie the knot.

The second way I think this might go, and the more realistic way for the comic would be:  It’s a bad dream.  That’s right, the perpetual slap in the face to all the viewers straight from shows like Dallas to the Family Guy.  It makes sense… this is all a bad dream that Betty is having.  Then when she wakes up everything will be normal.

Of course there is option X which could be anything.  I guess they could go with even bigger twists like:  Veronica will dump Archie and marry Jughead.  Or she and Betty could become legally bound or Married depending on the state that they live in.  Or maybe Reggie will come out and kill off Archie during the wedding ceremony… ANYTHING can happen.

Just before anyone starts saying I have something against Archie and his franchise I don’t.  In fact I still remember getting the digest’s when I was younger, shopping with my mom at Safeway and getting her to buy them for me.
