Wrote a huge thing about reality TV one time. Feed SFW visually but definitely not mentally.
In 2009, NBC aired a forgettable reality show with the same title, which rated so terribly it was moved from its timeslot immediately after the premiere. That premiere got 932 times as many viewers as all six episodes of this show COMBINED.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 4h agoNobody is watching Sean Duffy’s Great American Road Trip show, which he filmed with his family over the course of 7 months. The 6 episodes of the YouTube show have a total of just over 5K views combined after 24 hours. meidasnews.com/news/nobodys...
You would not believe the day I've had. Somehow, and I don't know how, Fucking Metro deciding to cancel and then uncancel a delayed train wasn't even in the top three worst things that happened.
TIL the arrangement of the Australian national anthem that usually gets played at sporting events etc was made by a dude who was formerly the Shah of Iran's personal pianist. I do not know what to do with this information.
Bit awkward that #3 and #2 are now in the Hall of Fame and #1 isn't. #Logies
Molk | The Guidefather 👍🇦🇺📺@molk.bsky.social · 4d agoTop three Australian TV shows of the last 70 years, voted by Australians: 3. A Country Practice 2. Home & Away 1. Kath & Kim #Logies
For a country with such a rich history of game shows, it's so odd that the #Logies Hall of Fame now has four game show hosts - Bert, Graham, Magda, and Andrew Denton - and yet none of them is really thought of as one.
There is a non-zero chance that Andrew Denton is indirectly responsible for the creation of Big Brother (House from Hell aired on Ten a year before the OG Dutch BB) and by extension a large part of reality TV as a whole. And yet, he deserves to be in the #Logies Hall of Fame anyway.
Molk | The Guidefather 👍🇦🇺📺@molk.bsky.social · 4d agoAndrew Denton is the smartest, funniest, stupidest, and most passionate person Australia has always needed. Be more like him, friends. #Logies
And it still wouldn't be the biggest undeserved thing that dude has. #Logies
Molk | The Guidefather 👍🇦🇺📺@molk.bsky.social · 4d agoThe biggest joke Shirvo could deliver is to read out his payslip and then convince us he deserves it. #Logies
My favourite thing about the #Logies is I used to post about it on the old place before it went all Sky News but they're so unmemorable that one year I just blatantly stole a joke Bert Newton used a couple of years earlier and nobody noticed.
Molk | The Guidefather 👍🇦🇺📺@molk.bsky.social · 5d agoHAPPY LOGIES DAY to everyone that celebrates. It’s me. I’m the one. Me. See you from the red carpet this arvo. #Logies
Saw a post announcing cast members for Heated Rivalry season 2 and... wow, they did not get that a big part of the reason it worked is because nobody knew who the leads were, did they?
Had a customer today wearing a shirt with a map of Hawaii where the landmasses were made out of pizza. I'm mostly just confused because the pizza was clearly pepperoni.
In Norway, one of the days of the week is called Tirsdag. No, not that one.
Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?
Mum: "Can you fill out the census for me? I'm not feeling well, I'm going to bed." Cue, twenty minutes later, me leaving half the questions in her bit blank because how the hell am I supposed to know what year of high school she finished or whatever?
Finally got around to Shazaming a recording I made of someone performing (excellently) at one of those outdoor pianos a couple of months ago. I've tried four times and it's picked up four different songs, none of which are even close.
People: You can't just post one line from a song and expect everyone to know the song Me: Da da da daaaaaa

I don't usually care for "would Shakespeare like modern cinema?" debates, but I hope we can all agree that Rasputin would have LOVED his life story being turned into a slutty little disco anthem.
Mood for when the Mexican place puts something in your burrito that shouldn't be there, and even after picking it out and looking at it for a bit you still can't tell if it's onion, capsicum, jalapeno, or mushroom.
For a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? A lightbulb so old it doesn't even fit any of the fixtures in the house.
geist@prettyvulgar.bsky.social · 2w agoFor a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? At least one guitar pick, even if you’re not a musician.
"It's probably just a trapped bubble of gas. Have you heard of deep tissue massage? Here, I'll show you." That night I was in the ER with a ruptured and leaking appendix.
Heather Hill@rollin-academic.bsky.social · 2w agoA question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"
Cinemas should cut the volume in half and let the "but you couldn't hear anything because of everyone talking!" people fight noisy assholes to the death instead of deafening everyone in order for the film to be heard over Linda's whining about her psoriasis.
Even if he's stupid enough to think that, which Jesus Fucking Christ there's a whole rant in that to be had, he shouldn't be actively taking "well, not ALL the ICU beds were filled" as a challenge.
Gabriel Bosslet@gbosslet.bsky.social · 3w agoRFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>
Stuck working with an anti-vaxxer bigot today. I'd have sacrificed Sunday rates to get out of it because honestly they do not pay me nearly enough, buuuut I want to see her face when she learns I updated the signage midweek to confirm all the meat products she loves buying for lunch are halal. 🥰
Having autism feels like you're constantly getting emails from people you've already blocked telling you in all-caps to check out their new project only it turns out its an AI crypto scam.

The first Australian season of The Mole did a treasure hunt challenge where one of the things needed was "a ball that disappears" but because nobody even tried finding it, they never bothered explaining what it was supposed to be? Yes I'm aware this is a nerdy answer but also hi look at me.
G. Willow Wilson@gwillow.me · 3w agoWhat's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story
