Okay, that one made me a laugh out loud...

September 29th 2008 20:44
Gas prices are way up. Stocks are way down. But even in this depressing time at least Entertainment Weekly can still make you laugh.


I don't know about you guys, but I need some witty remarks. So what do you say? Here are some of this week's EW quotes that made me laugh out loud.


'The Daily Show' writers present Election Day predictions:

"The Daily Show staff confronts the stark reality that their show's stars, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, are leaving, realizing this must have been what it was like when The X-files brought in Rober Patrick and Annabeth Gish."

Ahahah! That's great! LoL

THE EMMYS HAVE BIG PROBLEMS LUCKILY, WE HAVE SOLUTIONS

One moment said it all about last week’s Emmy Awards. Did you see when Bones’ David Boreanaz presented the Outstanding Guest Actor and Actresses in a Comedy Series awards alongside The Hills’ Lauren Conrad? Usually the most affable of actors, Boreanaz, introduced by Heidi Klum as star of The Bones, could barely bring himself to look at Conrad. His dead stare and body language said, “I was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, two great shows that this academy barely even acknowledged. Now I’m acting in another hit show, and I have to hand out an award with a reality star? Get me outta here!”


Yes! That is EXACTLY what I thougth when I watched him present! Poor guy.

And then of course, there's the "What to Watch" quotes to brighten your day:
Heroes: Tonight’s plot or fortune-cookie fortune: Peter uses his past to fix the future.

Chuck: Chuck’s second season opens with the possibility that accidental superspy Chuck may be returning to civilian living. (Yes, the end of the show’s central conceit sounds totally likely.) Aside from a hilariously clunky fight scene between guest villain Michael Clarke Duncan and Chuck’s hot handler, Sarah, the show remains a game mix of satire and sweetness—although Chuck still has better chemistry with his sister Ellie than Sarah.

90210: Annie and Adriana audition for an indie film. This screams “director tries to get teens topless.” If only they could get a dose of Mrs. Walsh’s good sense…

America’s Next Top Model: The models pose as natural disasters. Would posing as a hurricane after Ike be less offensive if said hurricane was fierce?

America’s Got Talent: Finally, we find out who’s the most talented person in America. Hint: not David Hasselhoff.

My Fake Baby: More disturbing than modeling earthquakes and the Hoff? This doc about collectors of lifelike dolls with veins and beating hearts.

When Weather Changed History: I’m all about the 10-day forcast, but this is taking rain a little too seriously.

Supernatural: Set your TiVos, X-Philes! Mitch Pileggi (a.k.a. Scully and Mulder’s boss) plays Dean’s grandfather.

Okay, I admit, that last one I included just because, uh…yeah, I can’t wait...

Supernatural: Set your TiVos, X-Philes! Mitch Pileggi (a.k.a. Scully and Mulder’s boss) plays Dean’s grandfather.

Ahaha... That first one was classic. But I still can't get over the whole grandpa thing. Is it just me or does Mitch Pileggi not seem that old? I dunno... Oh Entertainment Weekly, thank you. Just thank you. Plus, I almost died laughing when I saw this week's cover. Terrorist fist jab, biotches!

Haha, yeah my thoughts exactly. (Oh, and Amy it's in a flashback that he's playing their grandpa. ) And yes, the cover was hilarious. Way too many funny quotes in that political part to post.

OK, that makes a heck of a lot more sense. Oh now I'm excited! I've missed Skinner! I saw him on That 70s Show a couple years after TXF went off the air. It was both awesome and weird at the same time (he played a swinger, and I think his wife was played by his real wife, Scully's stand-in). Good times!

I saw him on Grey's Anatomy. It was great to see him and "Kersh" together.

WHOA, WHAT?! And Kersh? OMG! How did I miss this? Oh wait, was he the one who had a parasite in his hoo-hah? LOL. HOLY CRAP!! I just realized that the chief is Kersh! How in the hell did I miss that one?! I think I blocked Kersh out of my brain, and the character didn't even register when Grey's started. WOW. WTF moment of the week.

On another note, the IMDB on TXF is freaking GINORMOUS!!

Ahahaha! Amy I can't believe you just now realized that "The Chief" was "Kersh"! That is way too funny. And yes, "freaking GINORMOUS" IMDB XF entries is right! FGIX is now being entered into my online dictionary...

AHAHAHA Oh man, my boss was very surprised as well that I had not noticed the whole Kersh/Chief thing. Lawd, I am out of it. However, it does make for some fun water cooler fodder. We just discussed some of the scariest XF episodes. His was All the Pretty Horses, which i don't think i've seen (GASP!) and I talked about Uhrue, which I made the mistake of watching at home alone on Friday night. My poor cat couldn't breathe, I was holding him so tight! Hahaha... normally, I'm not incredibly afraid of XF episodes, but man. And I chose that one because I couldn't bring myself to watch Home. oops

My sister can't even stand listening to that song..."All the pretty little--" Oh, sorry I'll stop now. Scariest episode huh? Hmm...I'll have to think about that one. And go watch both those episodes right now. Go! Okay, well maybe not Home, but there are some great Mulder and Scully moments in there...come on now, you know you want to...
