Here in Idaho

Here’s what I think about Dancing With the Stars, a show that I’ve never watched but thoroughly judge with harsh and hateful eyes.

Dancing With the Stars, heretoforewith known as Solid Gold With Formerly Famous People (SGWFFP) is kinda crap. And you know it. Yes, even you, the ones who cry over uplifting dances featuring not-thin girls and not-able-to-hear ladies. Deep, deep down in your heavily sequined and feathered soul, you know the show is pretty crap. Just admit it. It’s ok. I won’t judge you.

Yes I will. Here’s why:

Exhibit A:

In a heartfelt, albeit awkward break in waltzing, Will from Will and Grace emotionally signs that he has to catch a quick phone call from his able-eared wife. Unable to understand his made-up sign language composed of Crips gang flashes, Curlfriend pretends to read an invisible book while waiting for his return. Pathetic.


Exhibit B:

Shirts? Optional. A beard so skinny you can connect the hairs with a fine-tipped Sharpie? Required.

Exhibit C:

If Mickey Rooney and Mark Hamill had a baby, it would be Mr. Awkwardly Bent shown here. If The Little Mermaid decided to inexplicably swathe/staple some extra yards of fabric onto her already butt ugly dress, just for the sake of offending the entire mermaid/merman community with her sheer tackiness, she’d be wearing this exact seafoamy monstrosity.

Exhibits D - I give up. Seriously.

Leather. Cumberbun. Lumberbun.

I’m assuming this dance involved an angry Latin/Pirate type man miming the act of driving angrily in a car that doesn’t have functioning turn signals, with a buxom wench tailing him nonchalantly. And she’s probably a cop. An overdramatic wench-cop.

The look in his eyes sums up my exact feelings for SGWFFP.

He should have known his over-theatrical, emasculating wails of love would fall on deaf ears. He should. have. known.

I’m just heart-renchingly sad that I haven’t been watching what is OBVIOUSLY the greatest show of ALL TIME.

CAN’T HEAR YOU!!!!!!!!!

Even though this post is absolutely hilarious and SOOOO true, I still love the show.

It’s full of cheesy costumes, yes, but you have to look beyond the body glitter and excessive eye-makeup and painted mustaches… there is soooo much… oh, who am I kidding….
But, I must say I’m rather disappointed that you chose to omit the single cheesiest and oldest and most dramatic example of plastic surgery gone wrong contestant, Priscilla I-can-bearly-make-a-smile Presley! That could give you ENDLESS picture narratives! Please, please, please schedule this into your posting time. Please. I can’t be the only one who winces every time she opens her mouth to speak. I mean, it not only looks painful but she SOUNDS painful…. and stoopid.

But, I still love the dancing and watching the show and making fun of the really bad and cheering the really good.

And what is up with Mickey Rooneys/Mark Hamil’s love child’s eyebrows! Your analysis of him was so right on. I totally see the likenesses.

Had to de-lurk for this one.

I have never watched the show, but I would watch with you. ;)

Funny, too funny.

Are you cross-posting this at Cracked? I think you should. Also, I think you should be a guest judge on something….American Idol perhaps?

You’ve switched to healthy meals. Have your girls heard this lately ” How do you know you don’t like it if you haven’t tasted it?”…. OH the hypocrisy.

I have watched the show a few times, but not with the humour that you put into it! Shit, you should be their commentator, or host or something!

I can’t remember the last time I cried from laughing so hard at a blog post. I thank you, and those in the cubicles adjacent to mine thank you, too.
