How I Ruined Your Favorite TV Show

Pajiba Love | November 11, 2008 | Comments (29)

Remember when Britney Spears guest-starred on “How I Met Your Mother?” That was kind of cute, wasn’t it? Yeah, well, this isn’t. (WIMB)

If you go to a dentist for a breast reduction surgery, cross-eyed nipples are probably the best case scenario. (QuizLaw)

Paris Hilton’s new movie is already being lauded as the worst movie to exist since Paris Hilton’s last movie. I am SO GLAD I didn’t volunteer for this one. According to Pajiba’s google calendar, it looks like Prisco is going to be the one bending over and spreading for this one. Ha! Suck it, Prisco! (Celebitchy)

Ahh ha ha ha! Oh, the low-fat, vegan, egg-white substitute on Tim Robbin’s face! (Yeeeah!)

That naked baby from the cover of Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album has grown up into a kid Kurt Cobain probably would have hated. (AgentBedhead)

I don’t watch that “Grey’s Anatomy Shit” either, so I had no idea one of the female doctors was the “It puts the lotion in the basket” girl. Ha! (DListed)

What Not to Wear: Zombie Apocalypse Edition. (ZombieForecast)

Oh my God, this made me larfs. Yes, that’s right, both hands, not just the one you held your dick with. (SeriousEats)

Do we have any Mariah Carey aficionados here at Pajiba who can confirm or deny these allegations of Mariah Carey sucking? Because to give my opinion, I’d have to watch these clips which I refuse to do. (IDLYITW)

Little Edie Beale of Grey Gardens has finally been realized as a fashion inspiration in these DIY times of recession we live in. (Jezebel)

How f’ing cool is this? For the ultimate time waster, play Super Obama World. Via YBNBY! (SuperObamaWorld)

Here are the five funniest politicians. It only counts if you’re laughing with them, not at them — so, Bush isn’t included. (CC Insider)

Even for a site called “Cute Overload” this is still pretty much one of the cutest damn things I’ve ever seen. (CuteOverload)

You guys may have seen this already, since it’s taken over the entire internet by now — but on the off-chance Pajiba is the only website you read I feel obligated to repost Keith Olbermann’s message of tolerance and love. What he said, indeed:

Oh, I thought you were gonna say that Britney had been cast on "Supernatural".

Posted by: Jay at November 11, 2008 12:12 PM

Is How I Met Your Mother really doing that badly in the ratings?

I'll pray for them.

Oh, the low-fat, vegan, egg-white substitute on Tim Robbin's face!

Hahahaha! Diet Barq's down the wrong pipe!

Also, I am NOT a Mariah Carey aficionado, but I CAN confirm that she does, indeed, suck. Hard.

I saw Ann Richards speak a few years before she passed (Godresthersoul) and she was hilarious. It was at a YWCA function/fundraiser recognizing women leaders in the community. She challenged each person in the room to add up the cost of their outfit, double it and write a check to the YW before they left. Awesome.

AAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Unless they are going to have a scene where those two retarded simpletons get the shit kicked out of them by Barney and Robin, I am going to be sick. I love this show, I just finished reading the Bro Code. I can't in good conscience watch this episode. I barely tolerated the Britney ones, but at least she has accomplished SOMETHING in her life.

I'm boycotting this episode. It's sad but true. You could have had a half hour of Rosie O'Donnell getting butter banged by Star Jones and that may have been a better show. I'm just fucking depressed. And the sad sad fact is that it probably will do ok in the ratings. A small bump in the ratings is no reason to sell your soul to the devils of bland. If I ever see them, I'm going to kick Spencer in the cunt.

Don't hate me, but...

Speidi is growing on me. A little. They've gone beyond being simply annoying and are crossing over into bat-shit insane territory. Or at least are getting too campy to not find amusing.

That being said, I don't want them on real television shows. It validates them way too much.

Posted by: tt_marie at November 11, 2008 1:15 PM

Nice commentary Keith, but I wish to Gawd you would stop using "good night and good luck" you fucking dillweed.
You are NOT EDWARD R. MURROW. You are NOT worthy of that closing line.

That is all.

Posted by: Stella at November 11, 2008 1:25 PM

I think Keith looks up to Murrow, and uses the closing as a tribute to him.

Posted by: Cindy at November 11, 2008 1:33 PM

Gad, I love the Beales. I can't even tell you. I do believe, however, that back in the day she was a fashion icon in the same way that they're talking about here. Not the last couple of years, I mean back in the day.

Didn't we already hear about the HIMYM travesty a few weeks ago? I feel like we did, because I remember throwing up over it.

That dachshund is the cutest damn thing ever. I want to EAT him UP.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at November 11, 2008 1:41 PM

Cindy I can't help but think that Murrow would be spinning in his grave if he knew what "tv news" has come to in this day and age.

I'd be ok with Jim Lehrer signing off with "good night and good luck", but Keith?? He uses that phrase to add some gravitas to his commentary. Not to say that that phrase is copyrighted or anything, but it's not like Keith is heir-apparent to Murrows. It strikes me as cheap and self-aggrandizing.

Posted by: Stella at November 11, 2008 1:44 PM

Rosie O'Donnell getting butter banged by Star Jones

Second. Yowza

Posted by: Beauregard at November 11, 2008 2:16 PM

Butter banged?

I...

You...

Alrighty. I'll let it go.

Posted by: greer at November 11, 2008 2:40 PM

Stella, while I agree with your comment on TV news today, I just don't see Keith using the sign-off in that way. But perhaps I'm blinded by my mad Keith love. Having watched him speak out on so many things that most true newscasters wouldn't even touch, I give him (and MSNBC) a great deal of my respect.

Posted by: Cindy at November 11, 2008 2:43 PM

Sorry,Cindy please believe me I mean no offense to your love when I say that, to me personally, Keith is the yin to Rush's yang.

Posted by: Stella at November 11, 2008 2:54 PM

Ouch!

*sobbing*

Posted by: Cindy at November 11, 2008 2:56 PM

[gently pats Cindy's shoulder]

there, there.

Don't feel bad, I'm the hypocrite who places far more value on what Stewart/Colbert say than she should.

Posted by: Stella at November 11, 2008 3:16 PM

Got a tissue or something? Vodka?

Posted by: Cindy at November 11, 2008 3:27 PM

"...Keith is the yin to Rush's yang."

And Colbert is the win to O'Reilly's wang.

"I'd be ok with Jim Lehrer signing off with "good night and good luck", but Keith?? He uses that phrase to add some gravitas to his commentary."

I first read that as Tom Lehrer, not Jim Lehrer... and then I thought, wow! Someone else here has his albums! Hot damn!!

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Ev'ry sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright,
Ev'rything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

You got it, buddy!!

"We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment...
Except for the few we'll take home to experiment."

I love how even the quote about the Nirvana baby points out that nobody knows why he felt the need to re-create it.

Posted by: artificialsweet at November 11, 2008 5:46 PM

Dear Becky/Goddess and Soylent, not only am I a fan, the august Mr. Lehrer was one of my earliest brushes with celebrity.

I went to school with a nephew of his. When I discovered the connection, I of course started angling to meet the man himself. Well. Apparently there was a rift because the great musician and poet wouldn't make with the free copies of all his stuff for the whole family. Hijinks ensued. When I discovered the connection, large swaths of the clan had not been speaking to each other for years.

That is when he became my god.

" 'Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down. That's not my department.' Says Verner Von Braun."

"Oh, we are the folk song army.
Every one of us cares.
We all hate poverty, war and injustice,
unlike the rest of you squares."

There's a comment diversion - comedy song albums. Two divisions, perhaps, intentional and not.

"Werner". Sigh.

Haw haw, you wrote "Ferner"! Haw haw!

Posted by: Jay at November 11, 2008 7:34 PM

Bierce, A year or so ago I read an article that said Prof. Lehrer was living on the beach in California (Santa Cruz, I think) and his number was in the phone book. Can you imagine?

(What? Um ... OK, kids, it was this big thick book that had a lot of names and numbers in it ...)

Super Obama World effing rocks! I just wasted the last 30 minutes trying to get past level one because I haven't played a video game in 15 years. This is my new addiction, thanks Stacey!

man, Olbermann is like the god of douches.
