All adult males of dad age in tv commercials are giant dopes.
I mean, ok, believable, but cripes, just stick a clown nose on them already.

Would that make Star Wars for Rush and Star Trek for Dream Theater?
I think Luke would be more of a Hawkwind fan.
Rush were big MST3K fans, to the point of thanking them in liner notes, but I canât remember the album. Counterparts, I think.

Thereâs a theory going around (perhaps itâs been confirmed or just speculation) that Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkingtonâs brilliant âOn Cinema At The Cinemaâ is a loose parody of RedLetterMediaâs âHalf In The Bagâ, which Tim once made a guest appearance on early in its run.
RedLetterMedia, on âBest of the Worstâ, features some of the same obscure movies and instructional videos as Found Footage Fest, who are also originally from the same region in the Midwest. Both troupes (allegedly) have a bit of a contentious relationship with one-another, but a story Iâve heard is that RLM attended FFFâs live shows in their early days. So, if this theory is true, there may be some FFF inspiration in BOTW.
Found Footage Fest is from the Midwest. Guess what show filmed in the Midwest? Mystery Science Theater 3000. And as I mentioned in another thread, Nick Prueher, who founded FFF with Joe Pickett, was an intern under Beez McKeever on MST3K and may have had some screen time as an extra.
Nick Prueher and Joe Pickettâs longtime friend? Mark Proksch, who starred in many of their early projects (including as âK-Strassâ, one of the greatest pranks in television history). Mark recently had a huge role on âWhat We Do In The Shadowsâ and was one of the notable cast members of the last few seasons of 'The Office". Mark also stars as a master impersonator inâŚTim Heidecker and Gregg Turkingtonâs âOn Cinema at the Cinemaâ.
Everything I watch is connected, Iâm convinced of it.
(EDIT: Almost forgot that Patton Oswalt guest starred on RLMâs âBest of the Worstâ as well, so thatâs a second MST3K connection.)

Hulu sends me an email⌠âSubscribe for only $2.99 a monthâ
Wow, what a bargain, let me open that baby up and see the detailsâŚ
(initiate sarcasm sequencer) Kardashians AND commercials, what did I do to deserve such blessings?
Yeah, you should have quit at $2.99, neither one of those are big selling points. It might as well have read âPoke in the eye with a red-hot iron!â

Hulu is merging with Disney+ anyway, so that seems like bad timing in the first place.
Wow, blessings indeed. Itâs frightening to think how many people this will somehow appeal to. It should be reversed â Hulu will pay me to watch this. $2.99/month doesnât even come close, not even $2.99/minute. Maybe at $2.99/second I could endure a few episodes.

No amount of money could get me to watch a Kardashian, and it sort of bothers me that others will watch them without being paid to.

Itâs âHawaiian Dayâ at my daughterâs school. She couldnât care less, but when I was dropping her off, I saw a couple of boys wearing fake grass skirts. Isnât that kind of offensive? They wouldnât have a âNative American Dayâ where kids would come in wearing feathered headdresses and carrying tomahawks.
