Obligatory TBC mish-mash post
It has been a TBC themed week for me, so of course I have to share it with all of you, since it is fandom and we're all supposed to squee about dumb shit together.

First off, that JCPenney commercial, which like 18 people have mentioned to me, online and in RL, because apparently I'm just that ridiculous and everyone knows it. A note to all bands ever in existence: STOP REMAKING 'DON'T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME)'. YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT IT AND YOU ARE NOT PUTTING A FRESH SPIN ON A CLASSIC. YOU ARE MAKING ME WANT TO VOMIT IN MY MOUTH. STOP. AND YES, YELLOWCARD, I AM LOOKING AT YOU FOR STARTING THIS TREND IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Anyway, the first viewing was all about, "OMG, I recognize that song, are they acting out the Breakfast Club?!" And then I was like, "Wait, this is worse than a remake!" And then I was like, "Stop being a snob, it's just a commercial!" And then I was like, "BUT THEY DID THE PIXIE STIX SANDWICH, THAT'S SACRELIDGE." And now I'm back to wanting to stab the screen every time I hear that ridiculous version of the song.

Also, Psych was rife with the 80's references this week, IN A GOOD WAY. I loved all of the TBC stuff especially. Wearing Judd Nelson's picture, doing the dances on the roof, references to Larry Lester's butt cheeks, the closing monologue at the end, THE FIST PUMP. I had to bite my lip to keep from squeeing when he pronounced "schola-ship" exactly the way Judd did in the gym scene in the movie. *contented sigh* See, these are people who actually understand and appreciate the film and are allowed to make cheesy references!

And him asking his dad if he could borrow his underwear for ten minutes had me rolfcopting, even if I totally saw it coming. /nerd

OH, AND this week it was extra slashy! The stuff Shawn said at the end with him being his best friend for so many years... *starts writing Psych best friend slash*

Also, while I'm here, everybody go visit [info]tbc100 and write some drabbles! Seriously, it's kind of dead over there and we need your brilliant writing to revive us. This week's prompt is 'prom'.

Um, it's obviously Craig, as I said 80 billion weeks ago. So obvious at this point that I almost don't even care anymore. Nicole and Paul obviously knew it too because they didn't even pretend that Craig was in any danger of going home, and neither did Craig. I almost want it to be Mark or Nicole at the end, just to completely prove me wrong and make me sit up in my seat. But it won't be.

Hahah everytime I see that commercial I think of you. Even if it was made of epic fail.

I WAS SQUEEING SO HARD DURING PSYCH, ROFL.
All the TBC stuff was epic. My Mom didn't understand why I was so excited, and I was so disappointed cause I make her watch those movies with me all the time, lmfao.

So Craig. No point in thinking anything else. Kind of disappointing that I didn't have to think more. :(

I will try not to be offended that something made of "epic fail" reminded you of me.

My mom didn't understand why I loved Psych so much either! Well, actually, she knew, but she thinks it's immature, so I had to contain myself. But every time I saw something 80's related I was like, "That's the Breakfast Club. Pretty in Pink. Ferris Bueller's Day off. Breakfast Club again."

*sigh* Yeah, I was looking forward to a nice challenge, but I'm pretty sure it's got to be him. :(

I know I should try, but I haven't been able to think of anything! Maybe if you write something I'll be able to too. :D

The Ad o' Doom

I'm going to post it tomorrow, though, I think. So save your comments for then.

And the rest of the post was just me flailing over the TV shows Psych, which had a lot of 80's references this week, and The Mole, which had no 80's references that I could see, but was still pretty kick ass. :D

I was actually using a highly sophisticated code that only people of above average intelligence can decipher. So...sorry about your dumbness, I guess. :/

I AM CONFUSED! But I shouldn't be, right? Because this has to do with TBC? WHAT'S GOING ON?

OMG IF YOU'RE CONFUSED THEN EVERYONE'S CONFUSED. D:

Okay, there's this commercial for JCPenney (the department store) that basically has all these kids doing scenes from TBC, only they make it look all fun and fashionable and show them running through the halls and dancing and basically ruining the movie. It's dumb, I'll post it later so you can watch it too.

And then I was squeeing about the TV show Psych, which had all of these TBC/80s movie allusions this past week and made me squee. I'll see if I can find some on youtube or something...

CLEARLY!

This sounds...interesting. I am looking forward to seeing it. (There's a rant in here about corporations corrupting things, but you know. I'll let it go, at least until I've seen the ad.)

Yay! I love it when they do things like that. And how most series have the obligatory TBC-esque episode. (As in, where everyone's stuck in a room/building for whatever reason.)

I'm a total snob when it comes to TBC as well lol.
The commercial is blasphemy. Remind me not to buy any of those clothes.
I did catch the end of Psych though and I thought it was cute.
But then again I always find Psych cute heh! =B

I am boycotting JCPenney now, yes.

Heehee, I love Psych. It's so lame, in the best way possible.

'DON'T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME)'

I saw this performed live, by Simple Minds. Just sayin'.

I wasn't a toddler or anything, either. They were out here supporting INXS the other year.

*uses bad hair icon, cos it's the '80s*

The first time I heard that commercial I had my back turned so didn't know it was a commercial or what it was for...I just thought, "Who and why is this sucktastic remake on?" and then I saw the commercial and except for it reminding me of something epic silly my sister did once when TBC was still an underground classic...the commercial is total fail! And of course it's from the same company that ruined The Weepies for me last Xmas..sell outs!!

But Psych...I love that show soooo much, but never get to watch it on the right day and time and have to catch reruns...I would love to read any friend slash you write about that show!!

OMG, me too! I was like, "Please tell me that I am not hearing the lyrics to 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' in this sucky pop arrangement!"

*googles The Weepies* Oooh, I like! Thank goodness I don't remember the commercial!

Haha, I don't know if I could actually write Psych...I'm not that great at writing humor, particularly dialogue, and that's pretty much what makes the show so great. But I definitely want to seek it out! I'll pass along any good ones I find.
