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!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

September 2015: It List

Now that I do weekly favorites, I feel like these will be less surprising... but still. Some good things. 1) Pumpkin Spice Lattes- Its the most wonderful latte of the year! Lol. All the yes. Soooo much yes. Its so creamy and pumpkiny and delicious. It was what has been missing from my life for a long time and now its back and I think they get more and more delicious every year. And I know last year people were like "pumpkin spice isn't cool anymore." Have you had any? It is delicious!!!! I'm a big fan of the PSL. 2) Arrow- I've been wanting to watch this show for a while. The guy that plays Oliver is not only hot, but he was really funny and good on a talk show I saw him on... so that made me like "ohh I need to watch this." I'm also not super into comic books or anything, but I do like Batman and DC movies at least more than anything else and I didn't really realize that there were so many tv shows in the DC universe right now. There are a f...
