shows that allow me to not watch shows

I love shows like Best Week Ever on VH1 or The Soup on E!. But since I don't have cable I have to settle for the online versions which are great. I no longer have to miss watching any of the guilty pleasures because I can see the part that I would like most being made fun of on these shows in the same way I would have done myself had I actually wasted the time to watch it. For example, my last post about the Hoff.

The Hoff

Is it too cliche to compare David Hasselhoff to a fine bottle of wine that just keeps getting better with time? Here you can see why we still love him. I am totally going to go rent Knight Rider this week.

Answers to my questions

1. Why are local commercials so bad?
Here are some Abilene examples: a plumbing company working to the tune of "Holding out for a hero", a portable shed salesman dressed as a caveman, a giant, white-haired, cross-eyed man standing on a huge stack of mattresses on top of Ed's Friendly Beds roof (he looks like a great grandpa, though). There are many more but I probably go to church with some of these people so I will quit here.

2. Why will Michael Vick most likely serve more time than Mary Winkler? I like dogs, but I like dads more, even if they are bad husbands.

3. Why was Arrested Development cancelled?

4. Why do I lose my remote control capabilities when given the option of MTV? All day marathons of Laguna Beach, The Hills and My Super Sweet 16 is why I can't get cable.

5. Why do I hate dinosaurs so much? Jurrassic Park, Baby, Barney (that's a given) and all 100 Land Before Time movies.

Many more questions to come.

Flight of the Conchords

This is a folk/comedy group from New Zealand. They have a show on HBO that looks like a mix of sketch comedy and their songs. Pretty funny stuff. This one is called "The most beautiful girl in the room".

Crippets

Let me clarify. I hate crickets but I like it when Lucy calls them crippets. I think that people that live in the northwest have never seen anything like these stinky, creepy crippets. It gives a small glimpse as to what a plague may have resembled.
