The worst/best part of that video is when I saw that it was part 38 and I suddenly realized what I was going to be doing for the rest of the night.

I kind of want this Bopper movie to be like Autofocus, centering on the Bopper's crippling addiction to telephonic pornography. The Bopper would be played by Russell Crowe, getting back up to his Insider-era weight. It would end with an enraged Buddy Holly (Michael Shannon) brandishing his .22 and chasing the Bopper around the plane while "Purple People Eater Meets The Witch Doctor" plays. I'd like it to be called Bopper Business, but that might be too filthy of a title to get wide release.


Scratchbomb and me were discussing this thread and long story short it came out that I hadn't realized Big Bopper was really a dj with a couple of novelty records. Scratchbomb made an analogy that went something like, this:

them on that plane was like if Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Rick Dees were traveling together. Two of them were songwriters/musician, and the other was Rick Dees.

So I give you this:

She's also one half of Garfunkel & Oates, and they are great.

I just heard that Vern Fonk Insurance here got sold to an NY agency.  Normally this wouldn't be news, but Vern Fonk is legendary for their commercials.  Pouring a 40oz to Vern Fonk himself and now his company. :-(.  Here are three YouTubes for memorialization:

It's killing me that I can't embed this, but I'll post it anyway.

Perhaps you've seen the show on G4 called "Human Wrecking Balls", where two dim-bulb brothers break entire buildings/boats/carnivals using only brute force. There's an episode where they trash a hotel room, and recruit a "rock star" to help them do it. The rock star is Jerry Montano of Danzig fame (?).

Hilariously, Mr. Montano brags about running up big hotel bills, but he is not equipped in either strength or enthusiasm to trash anything. He's barely able to destroy an acoustic guitar; it takes him four hearty wacks to dent the thing. Then, he throws a hotel lounge chair into the sheetrock walls, and doesn't even come close to damaging the chair or the walls.

This is one of the best Bad Idea For A TV Show shows of all time. Everytime I see even a little bit of this, I feel compelled to go around talking like these two goons for hours. I hope it stays on forever and they have to do things like wreck a partially active nuclear power plant. Or wreck a police station that is still in use, so it could be a half hour of the two of them spin-kicking police lockers while a bunch of cops try to restrain them with mace/batons/tasers to no avail.
This may be the year I will disappear.

That nurse* is cu-ute.









* Original nurse Dawn Swain, that is.  I haven't seen a clip of the new one yet.  And I had no idea this show existed till yesterday.  And I have no plans to even watch it.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

I think she's mostly eye candy on the show. I've never seen her actually no anything remotely nursey.

The show is definitely worth watching at least once. They try to give it a Mythbusters feel by doing cutaway segments on the "science" that goes into breaking stuff, but really it's just two of the dumbest guys on the planet shoulder-pounding shit.

What I don't get why they're wrecking the places they wreck. It's never, ever explained, and the places/things they wreck always look like they could still be functional. Like that hotel segment linked above. The room, and the hotel itself, look perfectly fine. Why are they destroying it?

I just assume that they drive by places randomly, decide they want to wreck them, and nothing anyone could ever do would ever be able to stop them from running through every wall and spin-kicking every piece of glass in whatever place they have decided needs to be wrecked.

So you might own a slightly run-down but still perfectly functioning bowling alley, but they just show up one day unannounced and start destroying the place. And you probably get mad and want to stop them, but what are you going to do? These guys are literally World Champion class professional wreckers. The guy who claims to be a scientist or some shit probably just tells you that, look, they're going to wreck your bowling alley and there's nothing you or the police or anybody can do about it, so just take some money and pretend to be OK with it for the cameras and please, please don't make them mad. Not again.

I do think it's kind of a rip-off when they run into something (again, often literally) that they can't actually wreck, and they just kind of turn it upside down and decide that counts as wrecking it. I don't care if something is made of solid steel, the younger brother should have to keep running into it as many times as it takes for either the thing to be wrecked or for him to die. I think he'd be OK with doing it, too, if they presented that as an option.
