...I don't know.

I can't decide whether I love or hate Andy Dick right now. I'm watching the 2006 Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner (which is overall hilarious, let me just say), and Andy's one of the roasters... and he's been giving off some very mixed signals in terms of his likability.

In the minus column:

( annoying things Andy Dick did during the roast )

fandom, crack, slash, tv, humor, star trek, celebrities, random, contemplation

I wasn't surprised to hear how dirty Betty White was after watching Boston Legal. She kills her husband with a frying pan and points guns at people, c'mon!

I knew the Twilight Zone thing already, but my mom made sure of that when I first started watching Star Trek.

On the fence about m-preg...It is a shame that my favorite male couples can't reproduce, and I do think they'd make lovely babies, some of them, it's just very weird to me.

well, dude... that was acting. it doesn't really say anything about what she's like in real life (any more than tobey mcguire can shoot webs out of his wrists). but even if it did, those are attributes of violence, not of a filthy mind.

anyway, i was pretty surprised. she's got such a 'nice little old lady' image, i really didn't expect to hear her talk about cock-rings and such.

apparently that's a pretty well-known thing. they showed a clip from when he guest-starred on third rock from the sun, which made reference to it, like people were supposed to know he was the guy. that would've totally gone over my head.

oh, dude... i'm totally not into m'preg for real, lol. but that's why it's funny. bad slash cliches were the whole point ( ... )

I wouldn'tve done a role like that if I wasn't comfortable with it, though, yanno?

I hate mentioning that I like Twilight Zone and then being asked "Edward or Jacob?" Kids these days...

M-preg is the only way to explain certain characters existing, though. Or even female x female pregnancy.

i guess that's a good point. at the very least, a role like that says she's not an uptight old betty.

*headdesk* has that really happened to you?

I thought Andy Dick was so annoying in that roast. I don't know, he makes everything all about him. I remember loving George Takei, though.

[ yeeeah... :-\ ] supes_ March 23 2010, 23:42:33 UTC

eh, yeah... i totally see what you mean. i actually started writing this post in the middle of the show -- right after andy's part, which was the height of my conflict between liking and hating him (then i figured i should finish watching before i post about it). but by the end the meter was definitely pointing at "hate" again.

(as much as i did still love his kirk/spock thing. i can't deny that.)

but i agree, george takei was pretty awesome -- both his own portion of the roast, and his reactions. i love that wide-open-mouth laugh of his. XD

speaking of both of them... something that equally annoyed me and cracked me up: while george takei was up at the podium, he started to say, "andy, as a fellow gay man..." and the camera panned to andy dick, who was giving him pointed glares and mouthing "no" -- then made a >:[ face when, to his disappointment, the joke continued.

it literally looked like he was expecting george to stop in the middle of the joke and say, "oops, never mind." like, seriously. O_o
