Jon Stewart - week of September 10  
I can't remember which episode from last week this was from, but it had me laughing out loud:

Jon Stewart: Apparently, this morning, I understand Vladimir Putin dissolved his government. Completely. Fired his prime minister, his entire cabinet. It just seems so impulsive. Especially coming on the heels of the great news from Russia yesterday that they just exploded what they're calling "the father of all bombs" and when it drops, and I'm quoting here, "...all that is alive merely evaporates..." The press release goes on to pet a cat and laugh muahahahaha!



I'm actually watching the Emmy Awards Red Carpet pre-show live.

I don't think I've ever watched the pre-show live. Surprisingly squee-worthy.



I love the American Express commercial with Tina Fey.

There's an episode of House (episode 2.22, if you care) where House walks into Cuddy's office and they have the following conversation.

Dr. House: "You don't have cancer."
Dr. Cuddy (after giving him a weird look): "You don't have dwarfism."

And I thought of that when I read the subject line on this WENN paragraph.

Random movie quote  
Credit goes to [info]hip_like_junk


I was watching the movie, Fever Pitch, the other day and there's a very cute scene where I think Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon really just nail the chemistry.

Drew's character, Lindsey, is telling Ben (Jimmy Fallon) that she's going to Paris for the weekend and she wants him to come along.

Lindsey: "I'm going to Paris and I'm taking vous!"
Ben: "Moi?"
Lindsey: "Oui!"

They're so cute together in that. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed that movie.

There's always one who loves and one who lets himself be loved.

We try to grab pieces of our lives as they speed past us. Photographs freeze those pieces and help us remember how we were. We don't know these lost people but if you look around, you'll find someone just like them.

Jon Stewart from 07-19-06  
(background) Jon shows a video clip of Senator Sam Brownback giving a presentation to the Senate, including a large posterboard that a young girl drew that had embryos with smiley faces on them.

Senator (on the video): This is a chart she did last year when she was in Washington and she drew three pictures down here below. This is her smiling because she got adopted and she's here. Here is another frozen embryo. These are embryos. That's sad because he's still sitting in a frozen state and here's one that she explains is saying, 'What, are you going to kill me?'

Jon: I have to say if you have a talking embryo who is cognizant enough to wonder if you're going to kill it...I say we don't do research on those ones. And if we find them and identify them, perhaps one of them will grant us three wishes.

Stuart Little 2  
The Little family sees that Stuart's car has been vandalized, with graffiti written all over it and the wheels stolen.

Mrs. Little: "Who would do this?"
Mr. Little: "Tiny, little vandals."

Later, Margalo, the bird, is about to fly south for the winter for the first time.

Mr. Little: "Are you sure you know where you're going? 'Cause we can call Triple A..."
Mrs. Little: "...and get you maps, discount coupons..."
Mr. Little: "There's a place in South Carolina where they do the best pecan pie you have ever tasted."
Margalo: "I'm a bird. Instinct should take over."

Very cute movie. It was on ABC Family a little while ago and after each commercial break, right before going back to the movie, they'd do a behind-the-scenes on how they did the various aspects of the animation.

"I’m not fit to run a marathon, but why the fuck should I be? I don’t run marathons."  
Ganked from [info]sizzleleg, who ganked from [info]molegirl, who posted on [info]bitsofstephen. Whew.

"[Stephen] Fry drinks plenty of coffee, but only when he can find a way of getting it past his Marlboros. “I smoke as many as I possibly can,” he boasts, in the same smug tones of someone who has just given up.

He looks a little flabby, worn by his endeavors. “I keep extremely fit,” he says. “I don’t do any exercise at all, but I’m fit. I’m fit for what I do. I’m not fit to run a marathon, but why the fuck should I be? I don’t run marathons. I’m fit to sit down and concentrate, which a lot of people aren’t, especially people who go to gyms. I’ve far too much respect for my body. People who go to gyms are constantly limping and twisting things. They have things called hamstrings which they break, and they get ricks in their back.”

“They do! It’s just complete abuse of their body. My body wants to sit down on something soft, have tobacco and caffeine poured into it, and to be pampered with some wine and lots of nice food and… chairs. It does not want to be thumped up and down on Tarmac or stretched by ghastly machines. It’s an insult! These people go (he gets up for a demonstration, and holds his back in agony as he hobbles around) aaaagh... oooh,.. They see you in a chair and say, ‘If you’ve got any fucking respect for your body...’ I mean, fuck off! I don’t tell me about respect for my body! Working out is rooted in pointless vanity, and its result is just pain and an addiction that doesn’t have the result of giving you dreams or pleasure, Creepy.”

Fry puffs on. He sucks another ciggie. I raise some sensible point about cancer, sounding like a government health warning. “Of course I could get lung cancer and die at the age of 50, or a heart attack from too much fatty food. It is possible. It’s extremely unlikely. The difference it makes is so small. People go, ‘Did you know, one in four people die early because of smoking...’ Well, 75 per cent of people do not! All this crap about it. Look, there are some people whose bodies just cannot take it at all. I may be one of them, in which case (affects sneery tone), ‘Haha, look at you, Stephen, you killed yourself. Well, big fucking deal, I left the party early. Seventy five per cent of smokers do not die any earlier than anybody else. That’s pretty good odds for one of the most pleasurable things God has ever given man. There are a lot of things he’s given us on this earth, the coffee bean, the grape, the tobacco leaf, the cannabis leaf, things that needn’t have been there - imagine going through life and never even fucking trying them. What an insult to creation."

My Name Is Earl  
Credit goes to [info]imafoxgrr


Thanks to [info]theferrett, who posted this first:

On My Name Is Earl, there is a beautiful Spanish maid called Catalina who both Earl and his brother Randy are friends with. Catalina frequently clashes with Earl's psychotic ex-wife, Joy, who is always scheming to make Earl's life worse.

Last week, Joy said something nasty to Catalina, and Catalina responded with a stream of blistering Spanish invective. At the end of it, Joy cocked her head Jerry Springer-style and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't speak maid."

A funny line. But it was funnier if you actually spoke Spanish, for this is what Catalina actually said:

"I want to take this moment to thank our Latino audience for watching. And for those of you who can understand me but who are not Latino, I want to commend you for learning a second language."

Commentary on movies  
Credit goes to [info]call_me_daisy


From this post that [info]theferrett made today about the DVD commentary in The Sound of Music and The Shawshank Redemption:

"Some of the best acting isn't acting. The final scene filmed in Sound of Music was the scene where Captain von Trapp comes in and sings "Edelweiss" with the children, and the kids broke down and bawled because they hadn't expected to see Christopher Plummer again. The scene where Morgain [sic] Freeman and Tim Robbins are swabbing tar on a hot roof apparently involved them swabbing actual tar on an actual hot roof, and if they didn't pay attention to the mops they'd cool and stick to the floor, so at the end of the day when they drink beer they were actually completely exhausted."

"According to Freud, and I'm paraphrasing...  
...instinct of love toward an object demands a mastery to obtain it. And if a person feels they can't control the object, or feel threatened by it, they act negatively toward it. Like, an eighth-grade boy punching a girl."

"I treat you like garbage, so I must really like you. Given your Freudian theory, what does it mean if I start being nice to you?"

"That you're getting in touch with your feelings."

"So there's absolutely nothing I can do to make you think that I don't like you?"

"Sorry, no."

The Daily Show, 10-17-05  
Jon Stewart: I was thinking of the situation that happened here. Uh... You know, it's obviously not news that many of the administration's media events are scripted and prepared. But in this instance, were you surprised that the Pentagon allowed soldiers to be used in that manner, and then, for the rehearsal to be seen by the public?

Rob Corddry: A little bit, Jon, but it was a nice gesture to the fans. A little peek at what goes on behind the scenes. And a nice bonus for the fifth season DVD of The White House.

Jon: I, I, I don't think I know what you're talking about.

Rob: Well, I'm talkin' about one of my favorite shows, Jon! For all the hype about Desperate Housewives and Lost, I still say The White House is one of the best scripted dramas out there. I mean, that, that new one, Commander in Chief? Total ripoff. Move over, Geena Davis. This fall, a man will... still be President.

Jon: Rob... we're not, we're not, we're not talking about just a TV show.

Rob: Oh, I know, Jon. For me and my fellow White House fans, or "Whities", it isn't, it isn't just a TV show. I mean, we live or die with all these characters. Like, uh, like on season three. Uh, when the president, George W. Bush, a competitive, born-again, ex-alcoholic with a Texas twang and a chip on his shoulder lands a fighter jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier and yells "Mission accomplished!" I mean, that is fuckin' TV, man!

Although, Jon, although, if they're not careful, this thing's gonna jump the shark. Like last season; the whole Social Security B story? Twelve town hall episodes in a row? Come on, man! And the dialogue?

(clip, C-Span)
Random Woman: President Bush, welcome to Tampa. We're so happy you're here.
GWB: Nice to be back, thank you.
(end clip)

(clip, C-Span)
Random Woman: I'm very happy to have you as a president.
(end clip)

(clip, C-Span)
Random Man: What can I do to help you?
(end clip)

Rob: Okay, okay, we get it. The president has stumbled on a community of androids. I mean--Jon, Star Trek, season two, episode three. Watch it much?

And what about that Cheney character? I mean, he's gone from "plausibly evil" to "cartoony evil"!

And I say, for my money, bring back Osama. Okay? Guy disappears in season one; they never wrap up the story--storyline, Jon! That's, that's just bad writing.

Jon: Well, well, Rob, it's--

Rob: It's lazy.

Jon: I, I do think the larger question is, why do these events about particular topics have to be scripted at all? Do you foresee a presidency where they're not scripted?

Rob: Hmm. Uh, what, you mean like a, uh, Curb Your Enthusiasm thing?

Jon: All right. Thank you, Rob. Rob Corddry, everybody.

EXAM ROOM
J.D. enters where JAMES and KYLIE are waiting.

J.D.
Hey, I heard a great joke. A guy walks into a dentist's office and says, "I think I'm a moth." And the dentist says, "Well, if you think you're a moth, why are you at a dentist's office?"

J.D.'s THOUGHTS
Oh, no, I forgot the punchline-- You can't bail out now! Stall! Stall!

J.D.
...So... the moth says..."That's a good question. What kind of dentist are you?" And the dentist says, "Well, I'm a general dentist, but I...I do dabble in orthodontry -- braces and such." And...and the moth says, "Orthodontry? I hear there's great money in that."

KYLIE and JAMES stare blankly as they wait for the "great" part of this joke.

J.D.'s THOUGHTS
"The light was on"! "The light was on"!!!

J.D.
"But! To answer your original question, which was, if I think I'm a moth, why am I in a dentist's office? The answer is, Because the light was on!"

Jon Stewart: As for the second vacancy [for the Supreme Court] who will fill that?
President Bush (on a newsclip from Sept. 6, 2005): The list is wide open, which should create some good speculation here in Washington. And make sure you notice when I said that I looked right at Al Gonzalez. Which can really create speculation.
Jon Stewart: Wow, so the president is either going to pick attorney general Alberto Gonzalez or he's being a total dick to attorney general Alberto Gonzalez.

Cindy Sheehan is a mother who lost her son in the Iraq war. She's been camping out at the Bush ranch while President Bush was there, and she's been protesting the war. Bush has been ignoring her.

/nutshell

On Monday's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Jon talks about the situation. He showed some clips of various TV news organizations, where the commentators made reference to the fact that Sheehan has been keeping company with people such as Michael Moore.

Jon: "The old guilt-by-association argument. She hangs out with Michael Moore, whose film Bowling for Columbine featured Charlton Heston, who played a Mexican in Touch of Evil. Mexico speaks the same language as Cuba, where Fidel Castro plotted to kill J.F.K. as seen in the film starring Kevin Bacon. Oh, Cindy Sheehan! Why do you and your liberal cohorts plan to kill Kevin Bacon?!"

Jon Stewart, talking about how the crash of flight 358 should *not* be called a miracle.

JS: "A miracle, defined in my dictionary is a marvellous event, manifesting a supernatural act of God. To me, the only thing that was a
