Pajiba Love

I don’t know if the upcoming Charlie Bartlett will be any good, but I can tell you right now the print/web campaign is freaking awesome! (Litelysalted)

First Commandment of Comedy: Thou shalt not take Phil Hartman’s name in vain — or Jon Lovitz will smite your ass down. (Agent Bedhead)

I would say that the Phillies are the new lovable losers, but let’s face it — there’s really nothing lovable about the majority of Philadelphia sports fans. (I just couldn’t help myself!) (Galley Slaves)

Okay, I can see burning or stomping — but rubbing the flag all over yourself? Although that might be kinda sexy in the right context. (QuizLaw)

I’ve suddenly got a newfound respect for Posh Spice — as will many Pajiba readers, I’d gather. (Celebitchy)

Mister Beckham — on the other hand — is turning out to be decidedly underwhelming. (Deus Ex Malcontent)

“The Top 10 Greatest Advancements in Fast Food.” I stopped eating junk food years ago but I can totally appreciate this. (Double Viking)

Val Kilmer eats too much damn pie — that’s his problem. (Yeeeah!)

Hear this America? Fuck up, break the law, and commit adultery? It’s totally cool, as long as God forgives you! A US Senator said so. (Feministing)

Incredible — this band called the “XYZ Affair” has got a debut video out starring old school Nickelodeon stars: Marc Summers, Danny Cooksey, Michael Maronna and Jason Zimbler. It just might be the coolest music video I have ever seen. Check it — after the jump!

I can't hear the vid b/c I'm at work, but LS, that is one of the best music vids I've ever seen. If Donkeylips was there, it would be even better. Marc Summers looks kinda bloated, but that's ok. Danny Cooksey looks so scruffy, but he's cool as shit, so I don't care.

But who was Jason Zimbler again? It's been years since I've really watched Nickelodeon.

For once, I don't have to be embarrassed for liking Jon Lovitz, (not just for The Critic) but I'm not surprised at his reaction. At the SNL anniversary some years back (I forgot which one) he broke down in tears when they did Phil Hartman's tribute. I didn't know they were so close.

Wow, Posh actually looks...human. Dare I say, attractive? Yes! Yes I do dare! I hereby declare Posh Spice worthy of my schlong. Rejoice, Beckhams!

The song? Meh. But the video? Oh god that's awesome! I recognized Marc Summers, (had a lamentable crush on him. I know, I know!) and the boys from Pete & Pete, right? And is the other guy the kid brother from Clarissa Explains It All? I'm guessing that from the chick's Ferguson Darling Tshirt.
Man, Nickelodeon used to be so great!

HOLY SHIT IT'S FERGUSON.

If Donkeylips was there.

If only. Sigh...

Oh yeah, and I could give two shits about the song, either. Which is really saying something that it is still the Best Music Video Ever.

I love those old Nickelodeon shows. I wish they were still on! It's so funny to see those people as adults. Oh and try not to be so hard on Philly, not all the fans are bad. (I have to stand up for where I come from)

Posted by: Erin at July 17, 2007 4:46 PM

I hadn't watched the whole vid yet, so I didn't recognize Ferguson. Wow, he look different. But he's finally making out with someone. LOL.

Posted by: Brie at July 17, 2007 4:53 PM

Brie, I'm at work, too, so I can't hear it. It was cool seeing all those Nickelodeon people, though. The most bizarre thing is, I just blogged about Ferguson this morning. Who knew he was still around? The others guy I know have still been working since they left Nick. But Ferguson? I didn't recognize him, and I had no reason to. Good to see he's alive.

wow, what a day! not one, but TWO celebs did something decent for a change! to see posh kick the shit out of eddie murphy would be amazing, to have seen jon lovitz kick the shit out off andy dick would have been FUCKING AWESOME!!

i've always liked lovitz, i don't know why. but he's nearing sainthood in my book now.

gawd, i miss phil hartman.

I was just impressed to see Posh lay off the orange and be a normal color for once.

Posted by: Lainie at July 17, 2007 6:07 PM

I was waiting for a cameo from either Petunia or Artie, the strongest man.... INTHEWORLD!!!! But great video anyway.

Posted by: Genny at July 17, 2007 6:38 PM

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen Posh smile before. Looks good on her. I'm not one for grinning idiots, but if she could crack one once a quarter, it would do much for her image. Anyone willing to castrate Murphy is okay in my book.

Sigh....Val Kilmer. He looks like a regular guy. No more of the hunk of whom I crushed as a wee lassie. Nevertheless, the well-known airbite from Top Gun is one of the dumbest moments in movie history.

Posted by: Daphne at July 17, 2007 6:45 PM

holy shit, that video is incredible. i wonder how much it was to hire all them, since they're without work now...

i say we start a fund to get them

Posted by: MAx at July 17, 2007 7:28 PM

BOBBY BUDNICK!!!! that;s who danny cooksey was
ahahahaha dammmnnn from salute your shorts? remember?!?!

I hereby declare Posh Spice worthy of my schlong.

Was that supposed to be a good thing, Manny? I mean, even a bacon cheeseburger was party to your sexual advances.

I also always liked Lovitz, and Andy really was an asshole for saying that crap and THEN asking him to be in his movie. And anybody who is willing to commit assault for the honor of Phil Hartman gets a star in my book.

That fast food link reminded me of the controversy over the McDonald's Monopoly game: apparently some guy figured out a way to get hold of a ton of the playing pieces and cleaned the prizes out. I mean, he was rolling in it, but he eventually got caught.

Where is my dear, sweet Erica Luttrell from Salute Your Shorts? She made that title VERY prophetic for me, I tell you.

Posted by: Vermillion at July 17, 2007 8:34 PM

oh my god... Val Kilmer: is that really you??? Chile, I bet you couldn't fit one of your legs into the waistband of those skintight jeans you wore in "Top Secret!" now. I wonder if Cher has seen this pic yet -- yikes.

Posted by: matt at July 17, 2007 9:08 PM

It just dawned on me: the reason Nick shows were so good back then was because nearly all of them were Canadian or had Canadian stars. And they were on the air during the period when exported Canadian comedy was at it's finest (Kids in the Hall, SNL, and so on). How could they NOT suck?

Posted by: Vermillion at July 17, 2007 9:39 PM

Whoops. Before I get lambasted, remove that "NOT" in the last sentence. Thank you.

Posted by: Vermillion at July 17, 2007 9:48 PM

Oh man that video was awesome! That's a good chunk of my fondest childhood TV crammed into one room and covered with slime. So beautiful.

Sometimes when we're bored at work my co-workers and I will sing old school Nick theme songs.

I think Jon Lovitz did something that all of us have probably wanted to do at one point or another. Lay the ol' smack down on Andy Dick! Jon Lovitz is my new hero.

That video totally ROCKS. I'd completely forgotten what a crush I had on Danny Cooksey when I was, like, 10. Good to know he's still attractive.

Posted by: Siege at July 18, 2007 9:16 AM

I remember a friend of mine that went to Notre Dame trying to get us to guess the semi-famous person that was there for orientation with her. After about an hour of guessing, she tells us none other than Ferguson from Clarissa Explains It All. Huuge

And look up the Ali G interview of Posh and David Beckham on youtube. I never really cared much for either of them before I saw that. She looks really cute when she smiles and laughs, which she pretty much does throughout the whole thing. And they both are good sports throughout the whole "interview".
