strange internet: the cleveland show - episode 1
| written by geoffrey on 07/22/08 | 4 comments |
i haven’t been very impressed with what i’ve seen of the cleveland show so far. the teaser and theme song have left me cold. however, this 10 min. clip of the show on youtube is quite hilarious.

many kids were forced to watch voyage of the mimi, a multi-part educational tv series meant to be shown in classrooms. you might have vague memories of dozing off during this science show, but you probably don’t remember that ben affleck got his start on this series, as one of the kid actors / interviewers.
here’s little ben quizzing a scientist in an arctic wind tunnel. be sure to check out 1:28 for a glimpse into ben affleck’s soul.

saturday morning cartoon: batman’s 2 min pilot

here’s the pilot demonstration executives at warner bros. commissioned to see what batman: the animated series would look and feel like. normally, these sorts of pilots are really rough (check out this one for family guy), but here they’re obviously very far along in defining the mood and style of the show.
btw - who’s going to dark knight this weekend?

ironywatch: smoking a president in “how high”
| written by geoffrey on 07/17/08 | 2 comments |
i’m always on the look out for new things to appreciate ironically. this is ironywatch.
for today’s ironywatch, i’m not going to go point-by-point to say what i love about the stoner “comedy” how high. i just want you to watch the above video. watch the above video, then i’ll put it into context for you with the following paragraph:
the characters in the film how high accidentally smoked the ashes of their smart, dead friend, which made them smart enough to go to harvard. when they run out of ash-pot, they dig up the bones of president john quincy adams in order to smoke him, so they’ll be smart again. not only do the characters not get in trouble for this, but the grave-robbing of john quincy adams isn’t even mentioned again in the film. amazing!!!
thank you, redman and methodman. after rewatching this clip on youtube, i stood up from my chair and gave how high a much deserved standing ovation. *puff puff* you’ve been ironywatched.
