So, prompted by the EPICNESS of Nick Stahl's suprising talent for snark in How To Rob A Bank, I declared today The Day That Was The Day, or for those of you who are losers who won't take advice, Carnivale Day. Dudes, I love Carnivale. I wish there was more of it. I wish there was a full six seasons of wacky allegory and wanton symbolism and Cynthia Ettinger's breasts. I want Tim DeKay's little crush on Ben and Iris being creepy as all get out. I want show-runners with PhDs in anthropology who assume everyone is as familiar with the concepts of Avataric lore as they are. I want to be able to sit there and go, "What is this shit? I have no idea what's going on!" and then give up and admire Nick Stahl's milky-white torso. I want to see Lodz come back. I want to find out what was up with that fuckin' bear. I want to find out if Sofie really does bring about the End of Days. I want Ben and Ruthie to get some closure. I want to see poor Ben's heart break when he finds out Sofie is the Omega. I want Stumpy to be... well, Stumpy, and I want to know what the deal was with Sampson and Management.
But, God hates me and Carnivale is cancelled. So I have to make do with whatever pieces of pure awesome I can find on YouTube. And these are pretty awesome. Highlights:
Ben, to Libby: Let's go kill some birds, I'm psyched!
Ben,to Lodz: I said not it! If the playround rules aren't in effect, this is anarchy!
Norman, to Justin: Son, you don't have bad luck. The reason bad things keep happening to you is because you're a dumbass.
Ben, painting up Ruthie's banner: I suck at this job.
The fact that "Ben" plays over the closing credits of the first link.
The COPS parody at the start of the second - triple bonus points for the sped-up shot of Gabriel picking Ben up while he kicks and flails and generally looks like a complete spastic.
And my personal favourite?
Justin: *GODZILLA ROAR*
Oh, also Psych is okay. I may write more about it later, but I may not. Who knows?
Oh, PS: I would have also wanted to see that creepy fuck Evander Geddes get his. What a dick, seriously.
