The Doctor Is In

You might not think "hilarious" when I say the name "Alan Thicke", but after watching this video you might change your mind. Sure, we remember him from being the dad from that shitty early '90s sitcom "Growing Pains", but did you know he's also a composer? He did the theme music for "Diff'rent Strokes"! He also wrote for Richard Pryor! Lately it seems like he just wants to fuck around and have fun, showing up on things like "Tim and Eric" or "The Goods". He recently did an interview with the AVClub, providing us with the priceless quote "There’s nothing to do after that. That’s right. You can’t top it. It’s over. When it’s raining dildos, you’ve got nothing left to say after that." But the reason for the post is for more people to watch his hilarious fake-doctor routine as Doctor Proctor. There are five videos, and I recommend you watch them all.



This reminds me of another Dad from an early-90's sitcom, Patrick Duffy. While he may be more well known these days as one of the legs of Scuzzlebutt, there was a time when he was sleepwalking through one of those generic Dad roles in "Step by Step". I remember not liking him too much, but these days I respect him more because I'm pretty sure he realized how terrible the show was, and was only going to do a half-assed job. Anyways, he's had a series of amusing videos with a crab (I know, wtf), earning even more good will from me.

For comparison's sake:


Enjoy the weekend!

Fiesta Friday!

Because Fridays were made for parties!

Every so often, I go through my music collection and find something that I haven't listened to is a very long time. It's usually something that I listened to a lot when I was in high school and just never feel like listening to anymore.

So it was yesterday that for whatever reason I decided to listen to some Third Eye Blind when I got home from a day of midterms.

Now, I remember Third Eye Blind's first album because it was one of the first albums I ever bought that wasn't Weird Al. I was 12 years old, and this shit was the hottest rock and I listened to it constantly (I think it's also fair to point out that I also lived in a tiny town with no record stores or real good radio reception). Since that time, I always looked at it as a general pop rock album that I listened to when I was trying to find my self musically. It reminds me of a time long ago when I was just beginning to get angry with the world and do stupid things. Not quite Kevin Hart stupid, but still regrettable. But hey; I was 12.

So now, about 10 years later, I pick it up once again and find out something crucial: It's still pretty damn good. I realized that there were parts of these songs that I didn't understand before, and now I have a new appreciation for it. It was funny to know all the words to a song and hear it almost for the first time.

So today's Fiesta Friday is a retro edition. I decided to pick this track because it was one of my favorites when I was 12, and even 10 years later, I still like it. Also, the crazy blonde in this video scares me a bit. She looks a bit like Courtney Love, but if Courtney Love was hot. Stephan Jenkins also looks a bit like Paul Rudd. Am I the only one who sees this resemblance?

I hope y'all enjoy it.

And if you don't, go fuck yourself.

Fiesta Friday! The One Week Late Edition

Last week, I instructed one of my colleagues to write a quick post for the Friday edition, so that we wouldn't have a day off. I would have written one, but as was mentioned several times previously, I was studying for the goddamn LSAT. All I suggested was that we post a video of one of the greatest human beings of all time.

Well, that post didn't happen. The colleague responsible will remain nameless, but I'm sure you kids who have been brought up on Slylock Fox will figure it out. So, I said to myself, "Feliz Navidad, bitches." And I present to you now the video of this Great American Hero.

I am talking of course about Wilford Brimley. The man is a national treasure, from his homespun sayings to his incredible ability to endure pain. And he also warned us about the potential horrors of, what he likes to call, "The Diabeetis". Today, we're playing this video in honor of his service.
