So tired of all the remakes, reboots, and re-imaginings. They redid Willy Wonka, FFS. Willy f'in Wonka! One of the greatest movies ever made! That's just wrong! What's next? "Citizen Kanye"? "Da GodFatha"? "Arbor Day", about a guy who wakes up over and over on the same insignificant holiday in perpetuity?

Hollywood, you wanna remake something that needs remaking? How about the last three Star Wars movies? Or anything with Ben Affleck in it? Take your pick of Stephen King movies. Godzilla without Ferris Bueller. King Kong without Jack Black. Gullivers Travels without Jack Black. Year One without... ok, anything with Jack Black without Jack Black.

Anyhoo...

Upvote for Emma Stone.

Fixed. Thanks.

And of course, she's looking at the camera. Such a narcissist.

Remember about five or ten years ago when she was on the cover of every goddamn magazine even remotely related to entertainment? I'm sure if Popular Mechanics had asked her to be on the cover she would have done it, provided they picked her up in a limo, supplied Evian water, brought her trainer, catered truffles, pâté de fois gras, and snake urine soup, let her bring tamarin monkeys, wove a carpet made from baby hair for her to walk on, commissioned Philip Glass to write a symphony in her honor, bought her the Yankees, made her pope, killed Ben Affleck, and gave her a ride home on the space shuttle.

Considering that most Americans don't get Sarah Silverman, I'm more than happy to be lumped in with the intelligent few that do. See, the whole idea of Sarah Silverman's "act" (I can't believe I'm actually having to explain this on the Sift) is to appear as annoying and stupid as possible. Now, you can shrug that off with a witty "well, then she's very good at her job", but that's the whole point. The really funny thing about her is that she annoys people, while the rest of the audience sits back and laughs directly at the people who don't understand. And she IS indeed, very good at her job. You're just not realizing that you're falling for it. So calling her annoying and meaning it is just you... missing the point.
I'm not sure how you could possibly lump her in with Kathy Griffin but I love when people use the whole "shocking" cop out. See, the way that a lot of humor works is that after the set up, some unexpected or "shocking" occurrence ends the joke. It's about reversal and surprise. That's why they call it a "punch" line. People try to say the same thing about Howard Stern, Louis C.K. or even in some cases about George Carlin, when the fact of the matter is that the people who say that kind of thing are still being "shocked" or surprised by they're favorite comedians. It's just that in their case, the favorite comedian happens to be someone like Jeff Dunham, Sinbad, or Carrot Top. But the idea of the reversal is still the same. Some people just find talking Jalapenos more shocking than others.


Dude, I don't like her as a comedian, that has zero to do with "getting" her or missing the point. Just because we don't share the same taste doesn't mean the world's gonna end. Different people like different things, get over it. Next thing you'll try to convince me that I don't like Ben Affleck because I don't "get" him...

Ben Affleck's mom probably still tells him to stop mouthbreathing.

Ben affleck's a twat.

This film looks way short of office space

ben affleck sucks.

Not nearly as bad as the Simpsons. South Park is still better than Family Guy, and can occasionally throw a good right hook and be relevant to the times.

>> ^xxovercastxx:

Well, you might mean the artistic end, but literally it clearly wasn't the end of South Park -- this aired in season 7, and season 13 is currently under production.

In fact, this episode, "Fat Butt and Pancake Head", was voted the number 1 South Park episode through season 8 on the Comedy Central web site. I don't agree with that, but a lot of people liked it.

South Park is special like that.

the censors tend to look the other way whenever Ben Affleck is the butt of the joke.

No Bruce Willis? No Ben Affleck? No hope.

What amazing hypocrisy. They start by calling Olbermann a crazy conspiracy theorist, then they spend the last half of the segment saying that this is some grand strategy to prepare SNL for attacks on the left wing during an Obama presidency and that Ben Affleck did this because he has some grudge with Olbermann.

Or maybe Olbermann was just a funny target to parody?
