DVD special features make me creepy
I've been watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" on DVD. (Composite review: Season 1 = Hilarious and awesome. Season 2 = Hit and miss, addition of Danny DeVito that sometimes doesn't work for me) And, like the special features of most comedies I like, this one made me think I should be friends with these people because we would totally get along. DVD extras make me a deluded creep.
But one part of the featurette really made me jump up and say "Yes!" (OK, so I sat there and thought "Yes;" I'm not very demonstrative.) Three guys my age wrote, produced and starred in the show. They thought, "Hmm, we need a woman on this show," so they went out at got one. And she told them her part sucked and wasn't funny ... and they agreed and rewrote it!
In fact, one of the guys said that he realized that they were writing funny stuff for the men and then giving her lines like "I don't know guys, that sounds like a bad idea." And then he said a lot of comedy is based on men being funny and a woman warning them not to do funny things. And he didn't want to do that. Yes! Testify!
I can honestly say: If it's funny, I would not warn you against doing it, men.
Side note: One of the guys on this show reallllly looks like an ex-boyfriend of mine. He's also a writer/actor type, so maybe they can star in a more realistic, yet wimpier, version of "Face Off."
You are creepy. Maybe you should stop trying to be so funny and learn your damned place, woman!
