message 1: by Lylly (new)

Lylly Emerick | 52 comments I thought this song by Storm Large was... interesting. Amazing. Hilarious. Anyway, I thought you lovely folk would have a thing or two to say about it. Thoughts?

Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Um, I guess it's ... empowering? Self-acceptance is a good thing, right?


message 3: by Usako (new)

Usako (bbmeltdown) I stopped listening at the first chorus. Not interested in listening to songs about that. I suppose I'm an old fuddy duddy about certain topics - those that shouldn't be plastered to a flag and waved and those which honestly should remain private. Guess that's why some "potty humor" doesn't make me laugh. Sorry! :P

Dick in a Box didn't make me laugh.

Bevis and Butthead amuses me - mostly because of the age i was and the friends I was with when I watched it in 1991.

Dick in a box, and most of that sort of humor from SNL is just so smug it makes me gag.

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Yes - we were talking about this re: television shows not long ago as well. Humor is inextricable from the cultural context which produced it.


message 7: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments THANK YOU! Someone else who didn't think Dick in a Box was funny!

SNL sucks. I wish Justin Timberlake nothing but ill.

SNL used to be funny back in the early 90's. Remember Sprockets?

This song is fucking awful. Just putting that out there.


message 8: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments Oh, Eddie. Wow, so you were there at the beginning, eh?


message 9: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I knew a German exchange student in college who everyone called "Dieter" after the Sprokets thing. I don't think he ever figured out to what we were referring.

I didn't think Dick in a Box was funny, either, or the follow-up...Motherlover...both tried way too hard, in my eyes, anyway.

I'm not up late enough for SNL. And I don't know that I've seen a late night talk show since, oh, 1997.

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Yeah, RA, what I know of SNL are shorts shared on FB and youtube links. I've not sat through the show in about 10 years or so.


message 11: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments Motherlover... Fuck. That's for reminding me, Anthony.

Andy Samberg is a joke.


message 12: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I don't know much about this Samberg guy, but I have to admit he had a couple funny sequences on the last MTV movie awards. Why was I watching the MTV movie awards? I have no idea. But he and Will Ferrell did this montage of scenes from movies in which people walked away from explosions that was much funnier than I'm explaining.

smetchie | 4034 comments I think Storm Large is hot and can sing her butt off. I thought that song was a little bit funny and I thought Dick in a Box was really really funny. Yeah so no one's posted in this thread for days which seems to be the equivalent of an eternity in this group but it's Friday night, I have the house to myself and nothing but time so I'm chiming in.

*DING!*

Félix (habitseven) Daddy! An angel just won its wings!


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Hurray, Clarence!


message 16: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments You thought it was funny, Gretchen?

I'm sorry to hear that...


message 17: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (luvrdn) | 501 comments I like Justin, but I thought the joke song was childish, I did however love his bravery in dancing to Shoulda Put a Ring on it!! Brave that one.

::high fives Gretchen!::

I love Storm. She's a funny, nasty, ballsy Portland girl and I'm a huge fan. I am hoping to get to see her play live before we move. And, come on, this song was about luuuuurve, not about pussy. It's metaphoragorical-like.

Edit: singing along... Eight Miiiiles Wiiiiiiiiide!


message 19: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments it is about luuuurve? huh.


message 20: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments i mostly was watching the lady Godiva like horse scenes and wasn't really listening to the words


message 21: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments uh...watched other Storm youtube videos and basically i am reduced to a very shallow male


message 22: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 4034 comments ...because she's smokin' hot?


message 23: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments yes. and that is all i could think about :)


message 24: by Lylly (new)

Lylly Emerick | 52 comments Well, I started this thread and then disappeared... I'm taking a super short break from my dissertation madness to check in with the world, but its not finished yet, so I'll be disappearing again.

I definitely interpreted this song as a metaphor. Fabulous Stormy bewilderingly taking the piss out of both patriarchal nonsense and feminist radicals in one fell swoop. And it made me giggle. I hope it made *some* of you giggle too. I do apologize for those who found it offensive.

I'll meet you all on the other side of my dissertation. AAGH!


message 25: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments What's your dissertation about, Lylly?

(assuming she will answer once she finishes:)


message 26: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Good luck Lylly! I definitely giggled at this.

Kev, that's pretty much all most of us could think about too. She's smokin' and has a great message! (And, she can piss like a racehorse... or next to a racehorse anyway.) LOL


message 27: by Lylly (new)

Lylly Emerick | 52 comments *coming up for air*

RA, I'm exploring International Voluntary Service as an alternative to traditional development by interpreting it in terms of gift-giving and commodification. Trying to show how the 'blurred boundaries' of gifting and commodifying make the process a more manageable and negotiable vehicle for social change. It's based on ethnographic material in Tanzania and a Euro-American program. And I hope it's more interesting than that statement makes it out to be. LOL.

*taking deep breath and plunging back in*


message 28: by Lylly (new)

Lylly Emerick | 52 comments Thanks, Sher!


message 29: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Whew! That was a mouthful Lylly... and my only response to that is:

I like chocolate cake! ^.^


message 30: by Heidi (new)

Heidi (heidihooo) | 10825 comments *bump*

Dick In A Box is unpopular with our fellow TCers (because I skimmed this thread), apparently.


message 31: by Phoenix (new)

Phoenix (phoenixapb) | 1619 comments Well, that was slightly disturbing.

That is all!


message 32: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Yea, but naughty & fun... what else could you want? :)


message 33: by Phoenix (new)

Phoenix (phoenixapb) | 1619 comments Ummm...if I was her? A MUCH smaller vagina? Truly though, no man I know wants to feel like he's chuckin his hot dog down a hallway when he's gettin it on!

However, the song did make me chuckle a time or two before I just couldn't take anymore.;)

This song should fit right in.

Ha! ::snort::

Exactamundo Bun. :)


message 35: by Heidi (new)

Heidi (heidihooo) | 10825 comments Her vagina may or may not be 8 miles wide, though. I'm sure it was all just for the sake of the punchline. It was a catchy little ditty, though.
