Re: Uncommon Opinions

His show on TBS will never be as good as it was when it was the Late Show on NBC. When he was on there he had everything from great monologues, skits, remotes (his best work), interviews, and up-and-coming music acts that you didn't see on other shows.

The Walker Lever and the old-timey baseball remote skit are 1a and 1b for me.

"In the year 2000" always cracked me up and I have no idea why, it's just one of those random things where if people were around they'd be looking at me weird trying to figure out what's so funny.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

That's not uncommon, that's just wrong.

I can see his point. While a great actor with tremendous ability he doesn't seem to pick exciting roles compared to say Johnny Depp.

There is no cake in ice cream cakes, so no, I do not hate those.

At Baskin, our ice cream cakes had cake in them.

Of course, you could order custom ice cream cakes with just ice cream. That was 30% more because of more ice cream being used.

As for Conan, his late night stuff was *so* much better. TBS show doesn't hold a freakin' candle to the glorious skits. From the staredowns to Frankenstein to the TV skits to the remotes (Star Wars remote might be the funniest thing I've ever seen on TV) to "What in the World?!" to "The Interrupter"....he was hilarious every single night.

He got fat off his own cult popularity and now he's just a shell of himself. He acts out all his jokes physically and it's annoying as hell.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I grew up watching Johnny Carson. That's an extremely high bar.


Not comparing anyone to him, as that would be unfair. But even Letterman, back in the day was hilarious. (Remember his drive thru bit? Larry Bud Melman?)

Now though he's also a shell of his former self. Not to mention, he's way too political now.

Conan was funny on NBC. I read somewhere they own the rights to a lot of his bits which is why he couldn't keep doing them on TBS. But I can tolerate him, unlike Fallon.

Is there a clip of this?

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I don't really watch any late night shows, but when I hear about a funny clip to watch from late night 99% of the time it's Fallon. Colbert and Stewart are good, but I frankly don't really care about the actual news as I'll just read anything important online.

The Fallon/Timberlake videos always crack me up.

The awkward moments with Max Weinstein always made me lol

Has never been the same since he left that time slot on NBC.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Couple of movie-related ones here.

-99% sure this has been brought up in this thread, but The Godfather movies aren't even the best mob movies (Goodfellas, Scarface, then GF1), let alone best of all time.

-There Will Be Blood was so, so, so, so incredibly, bonesuckingly boring. DDL came no where close to saving that movie for me. There was virtually no plot to it at all.

-The Friday Night Lights TV show almost ruined the movie, one of my personal favorites, for me.

-The Chestburster Scene from Spaceballs is probably the funniest moment in any comedy, ever

To piggyback on point #1.

Scarface is the most overrated movie in the history of movies. I mean holy crap is Scarface a bad movie.

Pacino feels like a cartoon in the movie. Its fun, but I wouldn't seriously consider it against Godfather or Goodfellas.

I wouldn't really consider Scarface a "mob" movie.

That was always my favorite. My best friend and I still just randomly blurt out "In the year 2000.......In the YEAR 2000!!!!!!!!"

Re: Uncommon Opinions

One Shining Moment is a terrible, terrible song, and it's not like Highway to The Danger Zone or Call Me Maybe where it's so bad that it's funny. It's just...bad.

I was actually going to mention this on Twitter earlier but forgot to. Seriously the most overrated moment of the tourney that people look forward to for whatever reason.
