The episode where Jeri jumped the kid in the bathroom.(i think)
"Smack it, Smack it!" "Juicy, Juicy!"
Do what you do when your doin' it like your doin' it for tv!

Best running gag on a SEASON 1 episode:
I loved then and love now the gag in the eating disorder episode when the stupid 60s-esque sounding song plays, describing the action...
Your problem couldn't be any clearer No one pays attention to you You stand in the kitchen Holding your chicken... *chortle*
You are large And quite obese Fat Fat Fat Fat Fat Fat Fat *guffaw!*
Great stuff. AMY SEDARIS is probably my new favorite actress.
Anyone ever catch her on one of the Talk Shows? She's a HOT li'l blonde... and funny as HELL.
The Jerri Blank makeup/costume job is SO amazing...

It was especially funny the first time, when you realize the music is actually coming from a radio that Jerri can hear, and isn't just "background" music. And I was tickled by the fact that the Fat Fat Fat Fat Fat Fat Fat song was followed by a SPANISH version... "Gordo Gordo Gordo Gordo Gordo Gordo Gordo..."

I wish I knew how to scan pics! My favorite is from Bust magazine, where she is wearing a bad wig circa Judith Light in Who's the Boss, a tight, mid-riff baring t-shirt that says "Hot Dog" and features a picture of a hot dog, and striped bikini panties into which she has stuffed an afro-type wig which spills out all sides of the front "triangle area" of the panties.
Why are you laughing at me? It's unkind, as well as puzzling!

TRAGIC BLANK!
I went home yesterday to get some stuff done and also to retrieve the VCR tapes with the full run of SwC that TD let me borrow so that I can watch them over here.
The tape with THE LAST TEMPTATION OF BLANK (the series finale in which Jerri Blank gets a "kewl kid" makeover and plays the ep as Amy Sedaris) is IN the VCR and I can't get it OUT 'coz there's no POWER! *shriEEEEEEk!* So *still* that episode is denied me!
I did, however, get the OTHER tapes and will be engaging in a Jerri-fest later!

Lash, I'm surprised. I thought for sure you would have just unplugged the VCR and taken the whole thing with you to your mom's house! Jerri would approve, she's had a VCR or two in her locker, hasn't she?
Ah well...it'll just make it sweet when you're back home for good.

No way was I lugging that VCR down 7 flights of stairs... and I *know* Jerri wouldn't have!

Watched the illiteracy episode last night and thought I was gonna laugh myself down the stairs... when she was trying to read the word "CAT" I thought I was gonna burst my spleen from laughing so hard...
And then the Noblet/Jellineck/Wolffe triangle of "To Love, Honor and Pretend" also had me guffawing!

Yes, Caleb, you *must* discover the hilarity of Strangers with Candy! Highly recommended! It's not just un-PC, it's anti-PC, and it is gargantuanly funny!

Originally posted by MLLASH: I haven't... I need to ASAP? Well... I must reserve judgment. I'm only on page 40 (which means I got thru the too-long introductory chapter and am just now getting into the good stuff). While it hasn't reached the heights of the show (probably b/c I just now am getting to the good stuff), there *have* been delirious moments that leave me rolling. For those who want to know, Wigfield is a book written by the three masterminds behind Strangers with Candy.

I haven't read that Wigfield book yet, but heard from someone who did that it might've been better in audio form. They thought it would've communicated more of the irony.
(And if there's anything we could all use more of, it is communication of irony.)
