It’s funny because it’s a reference.

Impressions:

Man. These episodes were just dumb, and without any kind of neat action to support them, this was pretty tough to get through. The second half in particular was just a series of shots of the two walking into American movie scenes, grabbing porn, then leaving. I get it. Someone on your staff is an American movie buff. Kind of. You said "Shyamalan" and did a scene from 2001 with its awful classical music, and other movies too. I get it. That’s… not funny at all. That’s more directed at fanboys who will clap their hands like harp seals and cry out "I recognized that! Look how smart I am! Tee hee." I’m sure that even as I write, someone is furiously putting together a list of all the movie scenes, references, and people’s names they used so they can rub it against their thighs in bliss.

The first part wasn’t much better either. Strip away the art style and vulgarity, and it was just another bad set of teens going to school jokes. Maybe they’re cribbing notes from Symbionic Titan, but I’m already sick to death of that. A popular cheerleader having all her attempts at being a bitch turn against her. Yes. Clearly the macrocosm of highschool life. If you lived in a 1990s sitcom. I felt like I was watching the dirty version of Totally Spies, and I don’t even know how clean the original even is.

So… meh. It wasn’t quite as puerile as the crap monster, but it was pretty close. Neither part of this even begun to approached sheer visual style of the car chase from the first episode, and even if they had, I wasn’t sure I was going to keep writing about it simply because there’s nothing really to the show outside the visual style. I’ve already exhausted everything that I have to say about that. Two shows for Friday morning is enough anyway. Particularly when both will probably conspire to make my head throb with technical jargon.
