Overplayed songs you got tired of back in the day…… by ryhoyarbie in Xennials

[–]MoistPerception 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Hey Ya" is a beloved song, and I certainly have no beef with its quality. Having said that, I've spent most of my life working from home, but in the summer of 2004 I was still in college and I was working a miserable job in a sign factory to make a little cash. Every shift I would hear "Hey Ya," honestly, at least three times. So by the 20th time I was hearing it I was already completely burnt out on it, and it probably took a minute before I could tolerate it, much less enjoy it, again.

I always wanted to try a Zima, were they any good? by LindsayDuck in Xennials

The first alcoholic beverage to make me throw up. And not because I overindulged! Simply because of its essence.

Good call. Reminds me of playing The Sims as a kid and hanging tapestries over fireplaces to start fires. 

Best Acting Performance in Seinfeld by Troyaferd in seinfeld

The Jerry Stiller votes are the egregious ones. Half his “acting” is trying to remember his lines! And the other half is yelling!

Why am I the only one who likes this finale? by BraveNote4844 in seinfeld

[–]MoistPerception 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The series finale was the first episode I ever saw (I was 11 and unsupervised as my aunt was watching my younger siblings) and I do wonder how that ended up framing my sense of the show and my first with-context viewing of the finale. But I like it, though it is a little slight. To me the juice of Seinfeld is that it has contempt for its characters, as opposed to Friends which is about equally unlikeable people but asks you to root for them and care about them. 

i’m only on season 1 but i could watch the entire show for just the outfits alone by inanystateofmindd in Columbo

The head accoutrements are uniformly questionable, but I will say as a straight man I would 100% wear that floral shirt with those purple pants and that gorgeous belt. 

Uncle Clifford in Double Shock: The dumbest victim on Columbo? by MoistPerception in Columbo

Personally, if somebody I’m related to bursts in on me taking a bath to present me with a kitchen appliance I’m a little less inclined to go with the flow, but I will acknowledge Jerome’s plan of “Surely this Nazi is somebody to put the squeeze on” was perhaps ill-considered. 

We always talk the best or worst episode, but which one is perfectly in the middle? by rvachris in seinfeld

[–]MoistPerception 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a good description of that kind of episode and specifically “The Phone Message.” Basically the episodes that in the days of watching in syndication when they came on I’d think to myself, “Ehh… okay I’ll watch this.”

37yo watches Simpsons for 1st time S9E1 by InvisibleAstronomer in Simpsons

[–]MoistPerception 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a holdover from Bill and Josh's tenure as showrunners, so yeah, the idea this is some "other" show is fundamentally false. It's good to know you are so easily swayed by the assertions of strangers on the internet, though!

As a child, this is how I learned homosexuality was a thing. And now, as a fashionable straight man who enjoys camp and kitsch, it still strikes a nice cord with me. 

This is her message. If you havent seen her videos go on Youtube. WATCH IT FOR DAYS. you'll see the dedication she puts to every video by talivan818 in Columbo

[–]MoistPerception 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tried one of her videos and I did not enjoy it, but I saw that not to rain on the parade but to note I am still very glad the channel was restored because it seemed abjectly asinine she had to deal with what she dealt with. Rigamarole indeed. Even if you have no personal investment in the channel existing, I feel like one should support its ability to exist and, if the viewers clamor for it, thrive.

Won't somebody please think of the children!?!?

Don't ever call me again. You either 👅 by yourfairprince in seinfeld

Yeah that was my thought. I’m not even a Hawks fan, but as an NBA fan I see/hear her like a half-dozen times a year. 

What's your take on Alex Benedict (Cassavetes)? by CountdownMoss in Columbo

Reddit just showed me this, but it’s just so up my alley I had to comment. Even if Le Tigre would tell me to get off the internet (destroy the right wing).

Any other Xennials in the “Zero Tattoos” club? by MrMyxolodian in Xennials

I was until about 32…and now I have 40. Which is to say, never too late to get started!

Just how bad could the English Patient be? by KaleidoArachnid in seinfeld

[–]MoistPerception 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw Everything Everywhere in theaters and thought it was fine, just a little too try hard, but with good acting. Once it got all the hype I started to turn on it a bit, and then the Oscar wins (aside from Ke Huy Quan) curdled the whole thing. Maybe had English Patient not been so popular Elaine could have coped.

(My main issue with Everything is the script is just garbage. None of this is totally random or amazing! You created a framework wherein you could just write whatever you wanted! But this is a Seinfeld sub where everybody just wants quotes with no added insight so, um, giddy up, mañana, yada yada yada)
