Initial Impression? Kind of needlessly Crude.

Impression after watching five times?
FUCKING BRILLIANT.

There is two minutes and forty seconds i'll never get back.

It's every Prince / Eurotrash song ever condescend down to its purest essence.

Also, it's not as if you were going to do something meaninful with those two minutes and forty seconds.

One needs to watch the clip a few times AND, i think, understand what it mocks.

I hate the fact that I got it on the first viewing.

and I hate the fact that the Lonely Island guys are better than me.

also the cashier is the daughter from Sopranos

Roscoe said...

Yes. Yes she is.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler is kinda hot.

She's a "side profile" hot.

_J_ said...

Not "full side", though. More of a sort of skewed frontal perspective from an angle.

...

shut up.

I hate the sopranos so much. I'm so sick of shit automatically being considered good just because it is about Cosa Nostra...

I watched season 1 of the Sopranos. Season 2 starts off with a really long video montage thing that I didn't want to sit through.

I still don't know what I think of the series. But I'm pretty sure that about 78% of the appeal was "zomg mobsters" and "zomg 'fuck'!"

Exactly my opinion, but this is what all the fucking critics (I really fucking hate critics btw) said about it:

"The Sopranos has been acknowledged by critics as one of the greatest and most ground-breaking television series of all time, although critical appreciation of the show has varied considerably from season to season.[20][122][123] It has been called "perhaps the greatest pop-culture masterpiece of its day" by Vanity Fair contributor Peter Biskind.[9] The New Yorker editor David Remnick called the show "the richest achievement in the history of television."[124] TV Guide ranked The Sopranos fifth on their list of the "Top 50 TV Shows of All Time".[125] In 2007, Channel 4 (UK) named The Sopranos the greatest television series of all time.[126] The show was also included on TIME magazine's "The 100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME," with editor James Poniewozik writing, "This mafia saga showed just how complex and involving TV storytelling could be, inspiring an explosion of ambitious dramas on cable and off."[123]"

(from wikipedia)

Exactly what fucking ground did the Sopranos break? Exaggerate much. How does such a mediocre show become so awesome? Simple implant some mafia bullshit and every wannabe gangster from here to fucking russia will think it is the greatest thing since ever.

Well, apparently, you missed that the show is about the mafia and that on the show they say "fuck".

The problem is that dipshits are unable to distinguish things. So they confuse "engaging story" with "about the mafia". It is not the case in the Soprano's that the manner in which the story is told is engaging. Rather, mobsters who say "fuck" are engaging. Yes, there is certainly a gradation of quality with regard to stories involving mobsters. But with regard to "television not about the mafia in which people do not say 'fuck' a lot" and "My Boys" it's fairly nonsensical to incite a comparison.

The dialog was shitty.
The characters were pretty god damned predictable.
The story was "i don't care".

But, man, they sure did say "fuck" a lot. And there were tits. Did you know about the tits? You'd probably like the show more if you focused upon the tits.

And the fact that it's about the mafia.

Seriously. The first fucking episode is about some jackass being sad when some ducks flew out of his pool. So he runs some guy down with his car.

To which some moron will say: "It was symbolism! He was mad!"
