You Never Noticed, Did You?












1.  Naruto looks like he could stand in for Lisa Simpson (check the hair)
2.  In just about every school-centered anime, it's a female character surrounded by good-looking boys, or a male character surrounded by good-looking girls.
3.  The hairs on Homer Simpson's head, plus his ear, create the initials "M.G." (when he's sideways)
4.  If a male character on a TV show is lazy and overweight, chances are he has a wife who is the exact opposite.
5.  In the episode of "Adventure Time" in which Finn is trapped in a dream, the "ears" on his hat are taller when he's in the dream and their regular height when he's not in it.
6.  Spongebob doesn't look even remotely like a REAL sea sponge....except in the episode he strives to be "normal"
7.  "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron:  Boy Genius", "Hey Arnold!", and "The Fairly Oddparents" all have one thing in common:  Each one features a stereotypical homosexual working at the main character's school.
8.  Nickelodeon seems to have a thing for aggressive blonde girls (Sam Puckett, Helga Pataki, Cindy Vortex, etc.)
9.  In Skye Sweetnam's music video for her song "Human", the back of her pants says "Ass"
10.  Kakashi Hatake from "Naruto" (whose first name translates to "scarecrow") LOOKS like a scarecrow (a hot one, though)
11.  The type of Twizzlers that you're supposed to peel are surprisingly similar to gummy worms.
12.  Episodes of television shows meant to encourage people to lose weight by eating less usually make you hungry with all their talk of food.

How To Create An Award-Winning Sitcom















Most people think it takes a lot of talent, study, and luck to create a sitcom that tops the charts.  Well, the truth is that all you need to do is follow these simple rules and you'll be swimming in awards.  Don't believe me?  Just take a look at what's on television right now!

1.  Make sure your cast includes a dumb fat man, a smart skinny man, at least two children (one troublemaker and one genius).  For extra points, make sure the mother is a strong female role model......whose also a housewife that thinks no woman can survive without a man in her life.

2.  When in doubt, reveal some shocking detail about one of the characters, even if you have to toss away several seasons worth of continuity to do it!  If you're really stumped, just make one of the characters gay and let the episode write itself!

3.  Toss in a trendy guest star every few episodes.  After all, they really have nothing better to do.

4.  Arrange the promo in such a way that it makes the series look like softcore porn.

5.  Pounce on every idea out there!  Everyone knows the world needs a dozen more "It's A Wonderful Life", "A Christmas Carol", and "Mary Poppins" parodies!

6.  Make fun of all the places you eat at regularly.  I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

7.  Shamelessly advertise products, no matter how unrelated they are to the series.  It's obvious that faceless, unpopular brand names like Apple and Microsoft need as much publicity as possible!

8.  Let the series run several years past its prime.  The best shows in the world are the ones that use jokes over and over because the writers are running out of ideas!  For a big fat bonus point, use cliche humor so you don't have to come up with anything original!

9.  Give your sitcom a snappy, creative name, like "Talk To The Hand" or "Don't Go There".  Using the word "show" will almost guarantee it's a massive hit!

10.  Make your characters so one-dimensional no one can pick them out of a crowd.  That way people won't have to strain their poor brains trying to work out the complex workings of a real human being's mind!

If you this this is all crap, maybe you're right.  But I'm sure this would make a great plot for a sitcom!

The End of the World, According To...


Elfen Lied:  We're all going to be killed by a race of creatures with telekinetic abilities and horns on their heads.  The good news is, they'll be really cute :)

The Simpsons:  The iPods will take over and we'll become their slaves (they just like whipping)

Angry Birds:  We'll be blown up by a giant black bird because those crafty pigs have barricaded themselves

Plants vs. Zombies:  We'll be invaded by zombies that can dance.  Luckily, we'll have plants to protect us.  Unluckily, these zombies are omnivores :(

House of Anubis:  An Egyptian goddess will wreak havoc upon the world, all thanks to a psychopath with timeless good looks (and his assistants, one of whom has perfectly groomed facial hair) 

Chowder:  We'll all be crushed by a giant grubble gum ball (don't worry, it's bubblegum flavored)

Ren and Stimpy:  Some idiot will press the history eraser button (we told him not to do it!)

The Amazing World of Gumball:  The moon will moon the sun ("What is wrong with that guy?")

Spongebob Squarepants:  Robots will take over the world! (never mind, just their world :) )

Invader ZIM:  An alien will squash all of us humans with the planet Mars (see his Microsoft Paint presentation for more info)

The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3:  A lonely superhero will trap us in a white dimension and use us as his play things (anyone for being a fridge magnet?)

Happy Tree Friends:  A flying squirrel with heat vision will flood the world trying to save a pink teddy bear from a giant rolling ball of snow

Don't worry, guys.  I'm sure they make disaster kits for each of these  ^.^
