The Thing features Vaughn (sans small nipples) from Community!
I watched The Thing this week and all I could think of is Vaughn from Community — because Eric Christian Olsen is in it. But before I get to that let’s briefly talk about the movie. It’s remake of John Carpenter‘s sci-fi thriller from 1982 about a camp of people who encounter an alien THING...
Workout Song of the Week: Bonfire by Childish Gambino
Listening to Childish Gambino spit lyrics is like swimming through a clever cypher pool of aggressive lyricsm. One of the main things that sets Gambino (a.k.a. Donald Glover a.k.a. Troy from Community) apart from many other rappers is that you can actually understand the words that are coming out of his mouth. Flowing in the...
Fall TV Snap Judgments Part II: Modern Family, Community, The Office, and others
Up All Night: The second episode was light years funnier than the pilot. Congratulations Christina Applegate and Will Arnett. You are safe from elimination from my DVR. The X Factor: American Idol, The Voice, and America’s Got Talent were a monolithic Voltron character, it would be called The X Factor. Modern Family: The best season...
The Sordid Love Triangle of Community
If you have been following me on Twitter and/or my Facebook page (Like it now!), Community has been my life lately. Season two has been in heavy rotation in my DVD player. Even right now, I am watching the “Asian Population Studies” episode with the commentary by Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Pudi, Donald Glover, Ken...
Comic-Con: I am so not there
As much as I consider myself a fan boy — I am not. I am just a wannabe. Real fan boys and fan girls are rabid. Ruthless. Deadly. Awkward. Clever and smell of musty, mildewy clothing that has been stuffed in the confines of a hamper that can be mistaken for an emptied barrel of...
Geist Infection: Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Bolo Ties
There is no connection between this week’s two geist infection items except that they are awesome. MJW in Community Theo dons an original Gordon Gartrell made by Denise First off, there’s Malcolm-Jamal Warner. He’s been having a recurring role in Community as Shirley’s (Yvette Nicole Brown) ex-husband Andre. Even though his role doesn’t get my...
An Awesome ‘Community’ of Dungeons and Dragons
I must admit — the last two episodes of Community have been underwhelming, but it was all a set up for Thursday’s episode where the gang played Dungeons and Dragons in an attempt to un-alienate an at-risk overweight boy who is a fan of the magical world of role playing games. I had many hand-over-mouth...
Ken Jeong Brings an Asian Snowman to Life on Community
As seen on 8Asians.com... It took me a while, but I am so glad that I decided to jump on the Community bandwagon. Despite the first couple of episodes that failed to catch my interest, I eventually hopped on board when I saw the chicken strip mafia-themed episode. I was defenseless against a TV show...
Abed from ‘Community’ Knows Brilliant Methods of Verbal Punishment
“Agitating my sciatica,” is possibly the best line to make someone feel bizarrely guilty. From here on out, I shall use the Abed/African American Police Chief technique when reprimanding my students.
Asian pop culture tally for October 8, 2009
We got models, little computer savvy girls, awkward community college dudes and a few others this week… Danny Pudi plays the vacantly endearing Abed in NBC’s Community Danny Pudi as Abed in Community. He’s probably one of the few things that is funny on that show. The little Asian girl in those Windows commercials. Yeah,...
Asian pop culture tally as of September 24, 2009
The tally went off the charts this week… Anna Maria Perez de Tagle is the ‘joy’ of ‘Fame’ Anna Maria Perez de Tagle: The tween starlet plays Joy in Fame. Valerie Tian can be spotted in Jennifer’s Body (she was also the abortion protester in Juno, also a Diablo Cody scribed film) How did I...
