People that know me know that I rarely send or forward emails with video clips, or jokes, or recipes, or what have you. But when The Dude IM'd me this video clip yesterday I couldn't resist. He had missed the original airing on Saturday night since he was at the office overseeing a launch and my rendition of it at 1 something AM when he finally got home really didn't do it justice. Yes, you heard that correctly. The Man was making The Dude work between 11:00PM-1:00AM ON A SATURDAY THE DAY AFTER THE COMPANY PARTY but that's a story for another post.
The first person to respond to my email was Egan. Egan made me cry when his response was, and I'm summarizing, "I haven't seen that movie yet and I think I'm too old for SNL. I think I was too old for SNL 10 years ago." I feel him on the SNL isn't what it used to be point but after I saw this short on SNL Saturday my sides hurt so much from all the laughing, and yet, I WANTED MORE. I don't think actually seeing the movie would enhance the joke. White guys rapping about going to see a Disney flick and macking on some cupcakes, funny enough.
The second person to mention the video was Kirk, though I don't think I sent him the clip but only because he's so totally on top of everything the InternetS has to offer, so it's not worth my time unless my goal in life is to fill up his inbox with duplications. Kirk's response included the following quote, "You can call us Aaron Burr from the way we're dropping Hamiltons!". Well said Kirk, well said.
The third person to respond to my email was Wheelson. Wheelson's response included the lyrics and the equivalent of a VH1 Behind The Music. Yet another reason why I love the InternetS.
Wrap up this post and I'm Ghost like Swayze. Spriz out.
Next your going to tell me that movie Airplane is a comedy and not a drama. Fuck that noise. White guys rapping is racist. Peace out!

Egan, I don't think you have to worry about anyone mistaking you for a humorless fool.
Interesting side note about the phrase fuck that noise. I was watching The Blues Brothers last week and realized Jake says fuck that noise in the general direction of the nun when they leave her office. I'm sure I'm retarded but for some reason I thought the only other place I'd ever heard that phrase in the movies was Jackie Brown. Which makes me wonder how long has that phrase been around? Yet I'm too lazy to actually research it. Okay, maybe interesting shouldn't have been included before side note at the start of this paragraph. My bad.

My comment is: I LOVE Magnolia Bakery! I always get 2 cupcakes (and banana pudding) when I go there. Too funny.

Johnny, SFYRAOTFLUYPO (So funny you'll roll around on the floor laughing until you pass out.)
Katy, I thought so.
K, Funny that you should mention that because that was Kirk's comment too. I battled back with Cupcake Royale, Seattle's local cupcake institution. I don't really know what legalize frostitution is supposed to mean but I shout it every time I visit the store anyways, just for good measure. Butter cream frosting. Oh lord. So good.

LMAO...that's so fucking funny. I meant to say "you're". YOU ARE THE BEST SPRIZEE. Know what I mean!!!!!?

I've been saying "fuck that noise" for almost 20 years. I heard it from my friend Gary and have used it ever since. He may have picked it up in the Blues Brothers movie, I don't know.
Oh, and Egan is not too old for SNL. I'm sure people in the 18-24 year old demo think they're too young for SNL. The fact is, with few exceptions like this video, SNL is a steaming turd of a show.

Kirk - I even think 10 years was too leniant. The show annoyed me back in high school. The skits are usually 3 minutes too longs and Loren Michaels has the opposite of the midas touch when it comes to movies. Have fun with this comment Sprizee.

Egan, I think just might be the king of inside jokes.
Kirk, 20 years. So you could talk at the age of 3?
Egan, SNL has always had it's fill of crap to wad through. During the same show that had this hilarious short, there was a three minute sketch about a windy Sbarro that was approximately three minutes too long. Let's just put it this way. It's no Daily Show.

Dropping rhymes on Sprizee's Blog
I'm all scatterbrained, my head's in a fog
With the 10 o'clock news on the tv set
i'm way too calm, ain't done with shopping yet
Now I'm gonna go, I'm still in a haze
So I'll leave by saying "Happy Holidays!"
