Teh Bloggah, TiVo edition.
Finally got some time to catch up on my backlogged TiVo'ed shiz.. and just caught the season finale of BSG.. HOL-EEEE SHIT! Wow.
The Colbert Report has certainly gotten a LOT better since its inception. The interviews, especially. There are still some of those 'cringe' moments during the interviews where things just don't go real smoothly.. but part of that is Colbert trying to be a character instead of himself, which some times breaks down in mid-interview as well.. and kills the feel of the show a little bit. Anyway.. it's still very funny and definately worth the 15-20 minutes per show if you get the chance.
Distraction.. man this show is just too great. If you haven't caught it, it basically comes down to being a game show with very easy questions but the whole time the contestants are trying to buzz in and answer the questions, they are being submitted to some VERY distracting shit. For example, one round had all the contestants wearing electro-shock dog barking collars. At first, every time they'd buzz in they'd get popped before answering.. and then mid way through the round they just started randomly electrocuting them. LOL.. I also am fairly fond of the nudist leapfrog racing and the round where the contestants buzz in by downing a full shotglass of hotsauce and slamming it on the counter. The final round for the 'winner' is a round in which they have 20 seconds to answer 4 questions, but if they get one wrong (or don't answer them all in 20 seconds), then the prizes they've won start getting crushed by anvils, blown up by explosives, trashed by the losing contestants.. or whatever. It's definately a high pressure moment. Heh.
