ironywatch: vice presidential candidate joe biden

woo! go joe! go joe– zzzzzzz…..
i’m always on the look out for new things to appreciate ironically. this is ironywatch.
this year, there’s one vice presidential candidate that’s completely shaking up the race. no, i’m not talking about sarah “interesting” palin. i’m talkin’ about the great gaffer: senator joe biden! man, this guy kicks some serious ass. not only does he keep saying shit to embarass obama, which is a hilarious, but his round-the-clock attacks on the mccain campaign are keeping him directly in the spotlight. yup, just look at the big news sites and on any given day you’re sure to find biden’s name listed, maybe, once.
boy, how useful it must be for obama to have this guy on the ticket, while meanwhile people haven’t shut up about sarah palin for three weeks. mccain’s vp candidate actually gave him momentum, but joey b. is truly the “hot” vice p. so if you’re buying the joe biden action figure, or have a shirt that says, “biden power,” but it’s really just a “palin power” shirt you altered with a permanent marker, then this november you’re voting for irony.

ironywatch: family guy clips online

when family guy was generally considered cool, in the post-cancellation / early adult swim years, clips of family guy were a welcome addition to any website. now they’ve been added to every website, and the internet can’t seem to get enough. stewie, brian, the chicken that fights peter — it’s all just so random, you know? and now you can show your sense of humor by posting f.g. to your myspace page… or send that shit to a friend. so funny, you guys. like the aids barber shop quartet song — i gotta send that to my buddy derek, cause he thinks aids is hil-fuckin-arious.
in fact, now seth macfarlane himself has gotten into the act, by releasing what seem to be extended versions of already aired family guy cutaway bits as new entertainment on youtube. awesome. it’s called “seth macfarlane’s cavalcade of cartoon comedy.” i’d better subscribe to seth’s youtube channel, cause if there’s one thing i need alerts about in life, it’s when i can watch more family guy clips online.

ironywatch: the phrase “big pimpin”

the song “big pimpin” is awesome, like everything jay-z has or ever will do. however, if you ask someone what they did over summer vacation, and they say, “i was big pimpin,” definitely take that guy seriously.
there is a use of the word i legitimately like. one of urban dictionary’s definitions for the word is “tight,” but then they use this example:
“kevin is big pimpin because he is a wizard.”
so if your magical sorcerer friend turned a man into a dragon this summer, let the man say he was “big pimpin.” barring that, leave the big pimpin’ to the professionals - aka jay-z in the year 2000.

ironywatch: little mermaid - ariel’s beginning

it’s time to go back “under the sea” with ariel, flounder and sebastian, to find out how they all became friends. if you’re anything like me, you watched the little mermaid as a kid and asked yourself, “how did ariel and flounder become friends?” folks, you’re about to get all the answers you can handle.
so buckle your ass to your seat, try not to get your mind blown too hard, and enjoy this important prequel to the story of my favorite mermaid. while you’re at it, you should probably dig further and learn more about the disney heroes with such gems as:
- Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998)
- The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride (1998)
- The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea (2000)
- Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp’s Adventure (2001)
- Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002)
- The Hunchback of Notre Dame II (2002)
- 101 Dalmatians II: Patch’s London Adventure (2003)
- The Lion King 1½ (2004)
- Mulan II (2005)
- Tarzan II (2005)
- Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch (2005)
- Brother Bear 2 (2006)
- Bambi II (2006)
- The Fox and the Hound 2 (2006)
- Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007) <– where cinderella time travels!
…and many more. get them all before they go back into the disney dumpster vault.

ironywatch warning: the rainbow brite movie
| written by geoffrey on 08/21/08 | 1 comment |
the only part of this movie that’s awesome.
i’m always on the look out for new things to appreciate ironically. this is ironywatch.
today, i’m going to warn you about the possible dangers an ironist might encounter in the field. recently, i went with several friends to the hip new beverly movie theater, in order to catch a midnight screening of rainbow brite and the star stealer. we assumed we’d be rolling in the aisles, “thoroughly enjoying” rainbow brite, murky, lurky, and all the rainbow pals in their first big screen adventure. we were very surprised!
at first, it was amazing. the opening musical number (!) prominently features a singing horse telling everybody to get to work. however, things went downhill when the movie proceeded to be boring as fuck. i fell asleep through most of the second act, and i was still able to follow along with the slow-as-molasses plot. there were so few unintentionally hilarious moments, and so many more unintentionally boring moments. we left the theater wishing we’d hated it a lot more.
so the lesson here is be careful what you try to enjoy ironically. some things are just plain bad. rainbow brite movie, you have not been ironywatched. instead, i’m having all the copies of this movie burned, so no more hipsters will suffer.
