Title: Hate Pit Members
Post by: Phantom Hugger on October 24, 2007, 04:29:36 PM
I'm trying to get a definitive list of all the members for an art contest submission,

Mickey Dolenz
Matt Drudge
Bob Saget
Mathew
(from Fluxblog), who has managed to get a wireless connection going
Movie Boy
Jeff Garland


(and a continuous loop of Family Guy playing on a welded shut vcr)


I think I'm missing someone, plus i don't know what Mathew looks like.
Also didn't Bonny lower a rope ladder down at one point?

I tried nominating Olive Garden as the official restaurant of the hate pit, but I don't know if Tom has seen it yet.

What's better than a bunch of people Tom doesn't like stewing in the hate pit for all eternity? A bunch of people Tom doesn't like eating unlimited iceburg lettuce with vinegar in the hate pit for all eternity.

Kanye West is dancing above the Hate Pit on a clear piece of plexi-glass.  Just to taunt Matthew, I believe.

He means Jeff Garlin, who is in there for this:

Jeff Garlin is a stand-up comedian. His most notable credit is "Curb Your Enthusiasm" where he plays Jeff Greene, Larry David's manager. He was also in the ultra mega smash hit Daddy Day Care and popped up in a few episodes of "Arrested Development."

I was actually shocked to hear Tom throw him in the hate pit so quickly a few weeks back. I guess when you make a movie about cheese, you're asking for Tom to throw you in the hate pit.
Title: Re: Hate Pit Members
Post by: John Junk on October 24, 2007, 09:56:26 PM
I was all ready to defend Garlin in a non-apologist way, but then I saw the clip from the Cheese movie.   Indefensible.
Title: Re: Hate Pit Members
Post by: Phantom Hugger on October 24, 2007, 09:59:27 PM
I got the feeling that Jeff Garlin was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was suddenly cast into the pit for some perceived slight against Kanye West.

You know how it is:  You're talking to Paul F. Tompkins on your radio show and you get caught up in the moment and before you know it you've thrown Jeff Garlin into the Hate Pit.

I recall Roger Moore and Olivia Munn going in.

It has been a while though. I have to admit getting a tingle when I realised Tom was going to have the lever pulled.

I'm guessing Kanye West is no longer dancing on a scaffold above the hate pit, but is now dangling precariously over it by his hands.

Kevin Polla[c]k -- oh THAT guy

During the last Best Show, my brain was gassy and I mentally mistook Kevin Pollack for NEAL Pollack, wondering "well how did Neal become a game show host recently?"

Never mind! [/Emily Latella]

I think that was more like "maybe this should happen" but never actually confirmed. I could be wrong though, I was spaced out while listening to that episode.

The newest resident of the Hate Pit is a caller: Harry from Millburn. He tried to have Gawker.com thrown in, but was hoisted on his own petard.
Title: Re: Hate Pit Members
Post by: Jake S on August 24, 2011, 01:23:57 AM
That Gawker article is really garbage, though. I mean I know it's not worth worrying about because it seems like insights from people who think of themselves as cultured but really are not.

Maybe I'm bitter because I think Ohio will crack the top 5. No one can make fun of my state but me!

And both Brian Wilsons too. I would have thought Tony Asher was equally culpable for the Pet Sounds instrumentals not having lyrics.

Jeff Garlin got in my own personal Hate Pit for his crumminess and rudeness towards Christopher Mintz-Plasse of all people on Doug Loves Movies. A pathological attention hog.

Is Nick Di Palo officially in the pit? What's the specific charge? There's a variety of reasons for him to be pitted.
Title: Re: Hate Pit Members
Post by: peterenlucha on August 27, 2011, 02:51:44 PM
I listened to this week's show but managed to miss the rationale for why the Brian Wilson of the World Champion San Francisco Giants was thrown into the hate pit. My fair-weather fandom demands answers!

Post by: cavorting with nudists on August 28, 2011, 06:46:16 PM
I admit I'm a little uncomfortable with the rough justice of consigning Brian Wilson (the cleanshaven one) to the Hate Pit until he coughs up Pleasure Island. There's something Kafkaesque about his predicament here--how is he supposed to create music while the Family Guy theme is blaring in his ears (er, ear) 24/7?

You're right that he was an attention hog, but he was at least kinda funny. Kevin Pollak on the other hand has made it to my hate pit (and hopefully Tom's too eventually) by being an attention hog on DLM (and life).

Everything he touches loses any semblance of joy or humour and it bothers me a little that he's trying to worm his way into the alternative comedy scene.
Title: Re: Hate Pit Members
Post by: Mole Man Jr. on September 01, 2011, 11:39:22 PM
I mostly find Jeff Garlin funny too. I love Curb. I even liked some of the cheese movie, but something about his DLM rubbed me the wrong way.

Cannot agree more about Kevin Pollack. Never funny. The fedora doesn't subtract from the baldness but it adds to the hackiness. Unfortunately for him,  William Shatner and Christopher Walken have turned into self-parody making him redundant.

I hope so. The problem is that Bono's ego might actually fill up the hate pit resulting in having to kick some members out...

Yup. I like him on Curb Your Enthusiasm but he's cholesterol-breathed, loudmouthed oaf when he guests on other shows.  He also talked over everybody during a live WTF awhile back.  What a clod.

You're so right. All of their albums from "Rembrandt Pussyhorse" through the "Widowermaker!" e.p. are great. I even kinda liked "Independent Worm Saloon". As far as sell-outs go it's not that bad... "PIOUGHD" is total garbage...

Locust Abortion Technician is particularly wonderful. "22 Going On 23" is one of my favorite songs of the 80s, especially when it launches into that warped Hendrix-y (Hendrixian?) solo at the end.
