Things I Learned from Watching the Boob Tube Last Night

Who says that you can't learn anything from tv?  Not this girl.  I'm not even watching Jeopardy.

1. Alex loves Lisa Lampanelli.  Loves.  There were two rounds of laughing from him.  First round came from the original joke.  Then the second laugh came from Lisa Lampanelli laughing.  I think it made Alex's night to hear her laugh, so he can laugh and be happy she is laughing.  Huh? Yeah, it's weird. 

2. I didn't know Greg Giraldo died! That's it....I just didn't know.  Now I do.

3. Trivial Pursuit came from the great white North.  Ya! Finally something good came from Canada other than maple syrup and Ryan Renolds.

4.  When you're good at your job, you make it look easy.  This in turn, makes me want to try.  After watching one and a half Roasts on Comedy Central,  I was 2.3 seconds away from hitting the comedy tour circuit to become a stand up comic.  Then The Situation got on stage.  That was a fast dream of mine.

5.  I want the background music to The Biggest Loser to work out to.  Ok, that was a lie.  I want the background music to The Biggest Loser so I can drive around in my car and feel like I am conquering the world.

6. Also, on The Biggest Loser front...did anyone else watch?? Why on Earth was everyone talking like Marci was dying??  She was going home! She needed to go home! She reached her target goal, she was doing the opposite of dying.  You people need to cry more in the beginning of the show when you show up with 90% body fat and are actually dying.

7.  I felt guilty eating Chicken Parmesan while watching Heavy and The Biggest Loser.

8.  I love the white couch in TBL (I'm starting to be type lazy) house.  Which makes me realize that when Alex says, "I don't think you are getting out of this what you're suppose to get out of it" he might be right.  Seriously, it's a great couch.

9. Gilbert Gottfried starting squinting when he did stand up because seeing the audience made him nervous.  He just got fired from his Aflac gig due to some not nice Japanese tweets he sent out earlier this week.  Last I heard Aflac was on a mission to find a new voice.  Which is why Alex and I were practicing our Aflac duck voices.  Turns out, he isn't that bad but it's too annoying.  Good bye future annoying voice over career.

10.  I really wanted to make this 10 points, so this last one is something I learned this morning.  Rapper Nate Dogg died last night.  Apparently, Snoop is super bummed about it (for my friends that are not well versed in the rapper world, they were BFF) and is Tweeting his goodbyes...cause I'm sure heaven is hooked up to Twitter and Nate is reading them, Snoop.  Grieving is getting too viral for me.   

In conclusion, when Nate Dogg was in his prime I was most likely listening to Sheryl Crow, Ace of Base, All-4-One and of course my beloved Amy Grant.  I was going to find some awesome lyrics to post but I decided it wasn't in my best interest to post for all the internets any of the "interesting" lyrics I found.  Sooo...

Onto My Next Episode,
Morgan

 (See what I did there?? Episode cause I made a list about tv...and Next Episode like Nate Dogg's song.  It's the little things, people.)

  1. 1.) Great post!
    2.) I miss watching TV with you!
    3.) If I WAS watching TV with you though, it would have hindered your learning since we basically make up our own script and dialogue to fill in to everything.
    4.) I also did not know that Greg Giraldo died!!
    5.) I completely understood the next episode comment and, no joke, read it in the Nate Dog tone!
    6.) We're best friends!
