Scribbles About TV: Best Lines From Shows

A lot of times a lot of jokes and stuff in tv shows can get lost throughout the entire series and things like that... but there are a few hidden gems in the writing world that just stick out to me even years after the show has ended. This is kind of something I want to do a lot in with my writing, so this is something that's important to me. These may not be the exact lines and they aren't the

Will And Grace 
This is what inspired this post. There's an episode where I believe Grace is fighting with her friend Ellen and Karen is trying to stick up for Grace I believe. She insults what Ellen is wearing and:

Ellen: I got this from Ann Taylor Loft!

Karen: And when you walked down the street I bet they all Loft! (meaning laughed.)

I just thought that was so funny. And now of corse whenever I see a Loft or an Ann Taylor Loft I say "and when you walk down the street, they'll all lof" lol. I was with a group of my friends a few weeks ago and one of my friends mentioned that she wanted to loft the bed in her dorm and then my other friend said "and they all loft" and I started dying. It's just this silly little line from a tv show that I had repeated soo many times that now its an inside joke between my friends. And it's such an obscure Will and Grace joke that I don't think many people would get it, but to me it stuck out and its soooo sooo great!

The League 
Anything Rafi does is just so funny and amazing, but in season 5 after the Rafi and Dirty Randy episode, I think he's at his best! He and Kevin are talking because Kevin left Taco money in his will and Taco needed to pay Rafi back, but he couldn't do it until Kevin was dead or Kevin had to give him the money. SO that whole thing is funny to begin with. But then Rafi explains that he's invested in "stocks" including chicken stock, beef stock, vegetable stock and he says that in the apocalypse everyone is going to come for him for soup. And then he says "I'm going to be a Boulien-aire." LOL! Just his face, the delivery of that line in particular and Rafi's behavior through the whole episode are just ON POINT and it was just such a funny line. None of these probably sound funny when I explain them like this, this may have been a less good blog post than I thought... but ohhh well. lol.

Friends 
I could probably keep going on with friends, but I just want to pick one line. It was an episode in season 7 called the one with Phoebe's cookies... idk. But anyway... you know what? This is not going to translate in text... let me find a clip... here. Basically Monica wants Phoebe's grandmother's cookie recipe and Monica bakes a bunch of cookies to try to match it. And Phoebe thinks that she can get it from her relative Nestley Tou-louse... which is Nestle Tollhouse! Lol its just really funny and with the show as a whole 10 seasons... this is a moment that sticks out.

Trueblood 
In one episode Andy Bellfleur says "Jesus Tits and God America." There is nothing that that doesn't offend... but that's funny.

Bob's Burgers 
Louise and Gene are telling Bob all the holidays they like better than Thanksgiving and Louise says "Angela Lansbury's Birthday." First off... this would be funny enough to begin with. What a random holiday! It's like me wanting to celebrate Macklemore's birthday.(One time I had a dream that Macklemore's birthday was a celebration like Thanksgiving.) Anyway Angela Lansbury's birthday just happens to be October 16th... which is also MY BIRTHDAY! And Angela Lansbury is totally my favorite birthday buddy! She's much better than John Mayer! I also thought it was funny that Gene said the season premier of Game of Thrones. Lol.

Anyway I think that is it for right now... I think I'll do more of these, but that's it right now. Check these out if you can find them anywhere.

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
