12 Things That Pissed Me Off About Larry King's Barbara Walters Inteview
Much like Reese's peanut butter cups that combine the deliciousness of chocolate with the yumminess of peanut butter, Barbara Walters appeared on Larry King last week. Only instead of being a delicious combination, it proved to be a largely pointless and irritating blend. Probably not surprising considering that separately each induces disgust convulsions in me. So actually that Reese's peanut butter cup comparison wasn't thought out very well. Maybe it's more like an evil Reese's peanut butter cup made from two old and bitter ingredients, neither of which you'd want to consume. Yeah, that's a pretty weak metaphor, huh? Sorry, I'm out of practice with this whole writing thing. I've become an internet Talking Head. Fantastic. I can't wait until I can do one of these segments about how much I hate myself. Here it is. Installment number three of:
Hate By Numbers
Gladstone wants to be your special friend. Check out some more of his stuff HERE and OVER HERE and HERE TOO.
best article I read about this yet!
Reply[...] also been a guest on Larry King Live, which means he’s got the ear of the nation’s most ancient and bitter voters. No harm in him throwing around the McCain name at church events, [...]
ReplyThe sex life bit at the end actually took me a second, but I got it by the time you signed off. Nicely done. :D
ReplyGladstone... you rule. Great stuff.
ReplyWhy did she avoid all the questions?
ReplyThe Night. Morphine.
ReplyWhat is this "music" we hear at the beginning and end of your segment?
ReplyNice. I had a friend who pranked Larry King back in the 1980s on radio, calling in to ask Valerie Harper if she was still holding his dope. Valerie stammered that she had a Diet Coke but nothing stronger. Larry commented that the "dope was calling in." We all thought that tape was hilarious. (See, I got your sex life joke, too.) That was comedy old skool. You know, before the Internets.
Reply@ Dave, click the Hate By Numbers tag below. This was the 3rd episode in the last three weeks. Thanks.
ReplyThat's all.
ReplyFor now.
Great finish. Would love to see this regularly.
ReplyDefinitely your best so far!
ReplyNice work!
Wow, I havent seen her on tv in a long time and I'd say that the years have not been good to Barbara...and when did she start wearing suspenders?
Reply1. When I was a kid Babs used to be that nice lady from 20/20. Now she weirds me out. She's a few cats away from being Crazy Cat Lady from The Simpsons. 2. Another great job Gladstone. 3. Morphine rocks!
ReplyGood comeback, Gladstone; I've noticed the same thing. Though not ALL assholes, because they didn't throw themselves at me. I had to use chloroform.
ReplyI learned from Mencia Mayhem. Mob mentality = respect.
ReplyFuck Barbara Walters and Larry King.
" but I have to disagree with you — cheerleaders most certainly DO throw themselves at assholes."
ReplyWith wild abandon.
They may not throw themselves at assholes, but they do throw themselves at dicks!
ReplyNo, just that they just don't throw themselves at assholes.
ReplyAre you implying that cheerleaders don't throw themselves at satirists in high school? How dare you, sir.
