'Episodes' of Laughter

Sam Fletcher — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 03:52:47 +0000

Kiss Joey Tribbiani good-bye as Matt LeBlanc helms Showtime’s Episodes as a diluted version of himself. From his over-exaggerated, humorous portrayal of Joey to his now-chill, more realistic (fame-crazed, reckless, and egotistical, but more realistic nonetheless) character, Matt LeBlanc keeps the audience (and even the supporting characters) on their toes.

Psych!

If you are a true Psych-O, you know that “Psych” will return tonight with a continuation of a perfect blend of humor and tension by characters whose personalities have been developed and mastered since the first episode, when an immature Shawn Spencer (James Roday) lures the always-responsible Gus (Dulé Hill) into a “one-time” detective gig.

Because I like staring at a good traffic accident as much as the next person, and because the continued and boundless horror and depravity that is American culture in the "news" is the biggest traffic accident I've ever seen, I couldn't help but click on the CNN headline "Justin Bieber (and his mom) have big night at the American Music Awards".

Worst Baby Names in the World

Being a celebrity involves a duty. It involves a lot of canape-eating and teeth-whitening as well, but it also includes an onus of being somewhat a role-model.

Celebrities know that people will try to emulate them because their life seems so much more rich and glamorous compared to theirs. If your famous, chances are you don’t even know what brands of washing powder are available in supermarkets anymore. You have a person solely employed to brighten your whites, and that’s something the rest of us would like a slice of please.

This is then a call out then to celebrities to stop giving your kids weird names that they have to wear for the rest of their now slightly-unfortunate lives because it triggers off normal people naming their kids after intangible words as well.

Sure having a kid called “pineapple” is cute when they’re 5 days old. Having a grandpa named that though takes the sweetness off somewhat.

Let’s take a look at some celebrity doozies

Celebrity Chefs

The rise and rise of celebrity chef’s is a cultural phenomena that is only rivalled by get fit, lose weight, get a makeover and cheer the fuck up television. On one channel you have Nigella Lawson espousing. ‘only can you get bring out the full sumptuous potential of duck fat by adding three or four good dollops of perky luscious whipped cream followed by a full cup of glistening salt. Use the enriched duck fat and massage it thoroughly into the skin of the swine but only after it has been deep fried for a good 45 minutes”. Flick the channel and you get some buffed fitness nut chastising some demoralised and overweight westerner for having too much skim milk in their herbal tea!

It is the Celebrity Chef’s that are the modern day rockstars with egos to match! They wine and dine for and with Prime Ministers, Presidents and royalty, have whole sections of book stores dedicated to their recipes, have live shows, entire television channels programmed to highlight their culinary mastery. They also invariably have chains of overpriced restaurants scattered across the globe with one always opening up in Dubai next week.

I am a big fan of random adventures, contests, reality TV shows, and other miscellaneous life experiences.

Most people will probably think I'm crazy for this, but I think this gig sounds AWESOME!:

The Vancouver International Airport (airport code YVR) in British Columbia, Canada, is celebrating their 80th anniversary. To celebrate and commemorate, they're sponsoring a very unique and innovative Terminal-esque contest.

They want someone to live at the airport, living, breathing, sleeping, eating and shopping there - for 80 consecutive days.
