From The Trash Heap

My biggest help in all this, tvguide.com, has let me down. Do Not Disturb, the bound to be awful Jerry O'Connell/Niecy Nash shit fest, was supposed to be on. It wasn't. It was back to back episodes of the equally awful(presumably) 'Til Death.

So now what do I do besides get ready to hate Do Not Disturb 10x more than I would have when it finally does come on? I talk about whatever I find interesting that doesn't fit in any other post.


(UPDATE: It wasn't on because Fox has officially taken it off the schedule. Not cancelled, but close enough. I regret never getting to suffer through it.)

For starters, I'd like to discuss how much I despise all the new McDonalds commercials. Its been months of it really, so its hard to call them new. But they are the most unrealistic depictions of typical customers of any business on the planet. Everyone is dancing, dressed like The Jonas Brothers and lives in an apartment that looks like an Urban Outfitters. We've all been to McDonalds, we know the greasy truth.

Its insulting to everyone for McDonalds to suggest that your individuality can be defined by eating at literally the most common restaurant in the world. This is why Sonic has the most realistic fast food commercials ever. Ugly people telling bad jokes and stuffing their faces with chili cheese dogs trying to ignore the misery that they're attempting to drown in gallons of Fried Ice Cream Blast(delicious, by the way).

Is Burger King cooler now that "Diddy says BK is open late"? Not really. Though him getting fat really adds credibility to his endorsement.

And inspired by Poltergeist being mentioned on Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia last night, the new DirecTV commercial has to be brought up. A lot of people are up in arms about Heather O'Rourke("They're Here") being used in the ad seeing as she died in 1988 and was only 13 at the time. She was a young, adorable white girl so GOD FORBID her image ever be used in anything except talking about how she was a little angel, and shes probably sitting next to Jesus right now, discussing her appearances on Still the Beaver(aka Leave it to Beaver 2, which has 102 episodes, I don't know why).

Craig T. Nelson is okay with it, I'm okay with it.

I also feel like I should do what I can to bring you some good TV that you may not have heard of.

That Mitchell and Webb Look is on BBC America and its the best sketch comedy show on television. Sadly, there aren't two many episodes and I'm not entirely sure that BBC America is playing it at the moment. But everything is on YouTube where I've watched most of it anyway. The creepiest example of their genius can be seen here.
