media amusingness

Posted February 13, 2005 • Comments Off on amusingness

I’m watching Baby Blues, which is a TV show based on the comic strip. It’s from the very beginning of the strip’s chronology, when Zoe was a baby and before Hammie and Wren were born.

It’s a cartoon for grownups. It’s very funny and much, much dirtier than the comic strip. I’m not sure why I didn’t become aware of it until recently, but I have the tv set up to record it whenever it comes on.

In any case, the mother’s voice (Wanda) is Julia Sweeney from Saturday Night Live, and in this episode I was just watching, there was a joke at the expense of an extended family member who speaks only in old SNL catchphrases. Darryl (father): “I’m Paaattt.” Wanda: “Shut up.” Heavy-handed subtlety.

Anyway, funnier was later in the show when a neighbor couple says “No! Tony Robbins is a nut! We’re Moonies.” Closed-captioning: “We’re Scientologists.”

I’m working on changing this page so that the photo on the right is random, from some of the best photos I’ve taken. It will also link to the relevant photo page on DPChallenge, just because I can. Hopefully I’ll be able to expand the selection as time progresses.
