Welcome to the Friday Five, where I examine my five favorites of the week!
It’s been a long time since I’ve presented you with my five favorites of the week. When Mikey grabbed the Friday Five reigns a while back, I just sorta abandoned the idea and let him roll with it. But I know that you’ve all been waiting for this day. You’ve woken up early each Friday, wondering whether or not you’d ever see one of Adam’s Friday Fives again. Each week, utter disappointment happiness? when you find another of Mikey’s Friday Fives greeting your sight holes with a mix of humor and web videos. Well, ladies and germs … THE WAIT IS OVER. I’M TAKING THIS MOTHERFU¢K’N B!TCH BACK TO WHERE IT BELONGS. HERE IS ADAM’S FRIDAY FIVE!!!!!*
First up this week is Conan O’Brien. I’ve been a fan of Conan since his days nights on Late Night, I followed him to The Tonight Show, and now I watch him every night on his self-titled TBS show. Together with his sidekick, Andy Richter, Conan never fails to crack me up and put me to bed in a good mood. This week featured Beardpocalypse, where after weeks of threats, Will Ferrel shaved off Conan’s awesome ginger beard. It left him looking oddly thin and about 30 years younger, but just as funny.
Another beardless favorite this week is Barack Obama. And no, it’s not because of him. It’s because of what he said about this guy. If you haven’t seen the portion of President Obama’s 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech, then you have to check it out. I laughed a lot … but I don’t think that Donald Trump shared in my amusement. Enjoy!
My cat, Spring has always been a little “special” … but this week she’s been acting downright INSANE. I’m not sure if it’s the open windows in my house or the fact that I’ve turned off the heat, but she’s been acting wayyyy weirder than normal. She goes from super-affectionate (not normally her style), to ballistic attack (more her style), to running around the house like a maniac, viciously chasing her tail, and then standing in the kitchen and meowing at the ceiling. I’m thoroughly enjoying the entertainment … but jeez girl, chill the frick out!
My favorite new show right now is Happy Endings, and you should be watching it! It’s a sitcom on ABC (sorry Polt, I’m not referring to a porno or that thing you pay an extra few bucks for at the end of a massage), and stars Elisha Cuthbert (24), Damon Wayans Jr. (his dad is Damon Wayans), Zachary Knighton (FlashFoward), Eliza Coupe (Scrubs), Casey Wilson (Saturday Night Live), and Adam Pally (his IMBD resumé is kinda unimpressive). Happy Endings is kinda like Seinfeld, meets Friends, meets 2011, meets awesome writing and hilarious comedy. Plus Adam Pally’s character, Max, is so non-stereotypically gay that it adds a level of refreshing realism that a lot of shows with gay characters are missing. So next time you’re watching Modern Family and Cougar Town, leave the television on for a bit longer and check out Happy Endings! I promise it’s great!
And in the final spotlight of this week’s Friday Five are … mangoes. Why? Because they were on sale this week at my local grocery store, and they’re FREAK’N DELICIOUS. I’ve watched all sorts of YouTube videos that teach me how to cut mangoes — but every time I eat one, I just give up. I tear into it, peeling of skin, and biting at it like a ferocious animal. When I’m finished, there’s a pile of skin and giant pit sitting in a puddle of mango juice. My hands are wet and sticky, my mouth is dripping with sweet juice (calm down Polt), and I have all sorts of mango fibers stuck in my teeth. MMMMM MANGOES!
So that’s my Friday Five for this week: ConanO’Brien, BarackObama, My Insane Cat, Happy Endings, and Mangoes. What’s your Friday Five?
*Note: Mikey is welcome to take back the Friday Five next week. That whole opening paragraph was basically bullshit. Actually, this whole post was basically bullshit. We know that the only C&R posts you truly enjoy are Have You Ever?! quizzes and C&R Fight Club matches. The rest is just in-between filler.
It’s been a long time since our last Friday Five. Too long. It’s unacceptable! So Mikey and I are here to remedy that emptiness that you’re feeling. Or maybe you’re just feeling gas? Try burping … you might feel better. Oh great, now you’ve puked a little in your mouth. Is it better to swallow it back down or spit it out? To spit or swallow, I never know… And while you consider your options, check out our five!
It’s Premiere Week! (by Adam)
Just about every network show worth watching premiered their new seasons this week. Forget about your personal life, your job, your friends and your family commitments… because TV is more important. I’ve actually given up sleep, and it’s still just the first week! So far I’ve watched Sons of Anarchy, Parenthood, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Boardwalk Empire, How I Met Your Mother, Weeds, The C Word, The Event, Glee, Undercovers, Modern Family, Law & Order SVU, Cougar Town, Community, 30 Rock, Grey’s Anatomy, The Office, Outsourced, Smallville, Flipping Out, Top Chef and Top Chef Just Desserts. There might be more. I think I have a problem.
Mel Gibson’s Fake Mustache (by Adam) He may be a despicably homophobic, racist and abusive bible-thumping maniac … but have you seen his fake mustache? It’s hilarious! It’s glorious! He actually may have stolen it from Wilford Brimley! It’s so funny that it makes me want to forgive him for everything he’s ever done (featuring: panting and wheezing between maniacal screams). I guess he was attempting to evade paparazzi when he dressed up with a fake mustache, nose, glasses, hat and what may or may not have been a pillow under his ugly flannel shirt. I love it. I’m suddenly drawn to any of his future projects! All his mistakes are forgiven! Oh, except for when he called that cop, “sugar tits.” Cuz that is far too hilarious to ever forget.
Rachel Maddow: Lesbian Vampire(by Mikey)
Now that the third season of True Blood has come to a lackluster end, I needed to get my blood sucking accomplished through other sources. I was delightfully amused to find the clip below from the Rachel Maddow show in which Ms. Maddow confronts a youtuber who has some interesting theories about her true nature. As usual, Ms. Maddow responds with humor and intelligence.
Positive Moves(by Mikey)
Have you ever wondered how star of stage and screen Ms. Angela Lansbury has been able to keep her sex appeal into her 80s? Well the answer lies in Positive Moves! Positive Moves is her masterful and thorough workout video that shows us all how to maintain a healthy outlook on life and your body. If you have ever wanted to see a woman in her prime rubbing her hands all over her own body this is the video for you! And let’s not even talk about her clothes. They are to die for. And don’t give up too soon…it get’s really sexy around 6:30…
Fall (by Mikey)
We are burning through 2010 at an alarming rate. It seems like just yesterday Adam was pestering me to write my very first very lame blog post, but now I’m a seasoned blogger milking my readers for comments and frustrating Adam with my lack of commas. We are also entering my favorite season: Fall, or as my pretentious priss of a coblogger calls it Autumn. There is a mild chill in the air and the nights are getting progressively cooler. We are bundling up (and some of us even cuddling up) to watch way too much tv and the leaves are slowly changing into the golden ambers, port wine cheese pinks, and pumpkin-inflected oranges. It is quite simply the most beautiful time to be me.
So there you have them folks: Premiere Week, Mel Gibson’s Fake Mustache, Rachel Maddow: Lesbian Vampire, Positive Moves, and Fall. What do you think of our five? Did we miss anything great? Or just tell us what your five favo things are this week? Leave it in the comments peeps. Yes, I did just write peeps. Deal with it.
