tv time warp

The Mighty Boosh (2004)

GUYS, GUYS!!!!! look, first, im gonna acknowledge the elephant in the room, i did name myself (my second name) after vince noir, YES, I DID, it was tbh my first case of kinning a character, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT KINNING WAS! He is me, i am him, so i said, "fuck it, imma name myself vincent, who gives a fuck" and that's just what i did, anyways, that kinda gives you an idea of how much i love this show and these characters, so i'll go on with my GIGANTIC rant.

I can't really remember how i stumbled upon this show, i think i might've saw vince noir somewhere and thought OH SHIT I HAVE TO SEE THIS, not sure tho. But anyways, i was 16 when i watched it for the first time and got OBSESSED, i also happened to be entering my 70s glam/80s new wave era, so it was perfect for me, right away, not only did i saw how i related so much to the character vince noir because we like the same stuff but also MAN did i wanted to be like him, all the glitter and the makeup, the long hair, the androgyny and the confidence. I CRAVED IT!!

The big thing about this show tho, is the humor, most people find it not funny or stupid or even childish, but this is literally like my whole thing, this type of humor is my favourite type!! i have never watched a sitcom before this and i have never watched a comedy ANYTHING that made me laugh (mostly bc of the misogyny and homophobia), but this wasn't gross and laughing at the expense of others, it was actually silly, funny, ridiculous and creative. I haven't looked back since then, everything i watch that's supposed to be funny HAS to have a specific vibe to it, otherwise i know im not gonna find it funny at all. I was never a big fan of sitcoms, i use to hate them AND actually, i didn't even thought this was consdered as a "sitcom" but it is, at the time i just saw this and was too amazed to look up what is it considered, had a lot of videos to watch and pics to save.

Also can i just say?? I LOVE THAT IT HAS SONGS AND CRIMPS, we get a full song like the first episode and it's so funny!! and then we see vince and howard doing crimps which i have NEVER heard of before in my life and i was so obssesed, i still remember like every single song and crimp from the show.

Oh dude i haven't even talked about howard yet, but let me say that i get what vince sees in him (hehe headcannon hehe), i love howard and i actually DO like jazz and i think he and i would have a really great time together... howard moon are u free on friday when im free on friday to have a date with me on friday when im free, are you? ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶

LET ME TALK ABOUT MY FAV EPISODE OF SEASON ONE OK??? BECAUSE I COULD TALK ABOUT EVERY SINGLE ONE but im not gonna do that to you guys, unless... u asked me to...

S01E07-Electro

First of all, the way they talk in like a figurative way and then make a joke about things being literal IT ALWAYS GETS ME. Then vince putting a human league cassette on, big slay of him AND he has dreams of becoming a star? HE'S SO REAL. So, here i wanna adress the spirit of jazz, look, i know the way he looks and everything, and i can see the connotations, im not saying this show has no flaws, i know it does, now, I LOVE THE SPIRIT OF JAZZ OK, HE'S GREAT!!
Guys am i dreaming or 80s howard is like, SUPER hot?... AND VINCE'S MAKEUP IS SO GOOD, electro girl side is basically him but with more makeup and electro boy side is so drag king moment ugh!! yes!!! gender is a performance!!!!! AND YOU ARE AMAZING AT BOTH VINCEY !!!!
Anyways, as you can tell, this like rewired my brain a little, i sooo want to be an electro boygirl grrrrraaaaahhhhh

One of my favourite bits of them is all the times vince gets call a lady, a girl or even wife and girlfriend, like, he IS girlfriend and wife to me, and vince NEVER seems to be bothered by it, geder is beyond him people, he gets me. He's also so sure of himself (im not) and everyone wants him (im a virgin) but he's like the super amazing best version of how i wanna be.

Howard deserves more love tbh, i know who can give it to him... ok, im sorry but to be fair, everyone calling vince "howard's wife" (and one mention of howard being the wife between them) AND THE FACT THAT THEY KISS, what do you guys expect...i have to make the silly homoerotic man marry eachother.

And aparently a lot of people from the us know this show only because of old gregg? i saw a video on it, so like, if you only know that i IMPLORE you to watch the whole show because is soooo fun and silly, i do love old gregg, he's like one of my favourite characters tbh, he just wants to be loved guys, this is a sitcom, he needs a will-they-wont-they with howard, he's my pookie...
I wanna give a special mention to the nice animations and illustrations when a character tells a little story, ggggrrrrahhhh i love them so so so much!!!

Now to close this, im gonna say that, this came to me when i most needed it, as to be honest, every single piece of fav media i have ever liked, it's just seems to be perfect at the time and it still makes me feel the same way it did at the time, incredibly happy and glad to be alive. I have never seen anything like this before at that time, i was starting to watch horror movies a lot and didn't had a mmm more defined taste?, i mean, i can have a pretty good guess if im gonna like something or not now but at the time this blew my mind, i was super super obssesed, i made a little collage on my scrapbook and watched SO many interviews and live videos and yeah, fanfincs, but anyways.

I discovered more cool music and my taste in humor and silly fantasy but also what i wanted my gender expression to be like, i saw someone i related to and i saw fun and cool characters i still think about. I discovered my love for campy fashion and different aesthetics, discovered i was cooler than i thought or that well i could be cooler than i was at the time anyways (hey teen me!! i am the confuser now!!), this show holds a special place in my heart and i feel it always will and everytime i come back to it, it will be there waiting for me with a lot of glitter, a lot of laughs and some jazz and new wave, to comfort me and remind me of what makes me, well me, the person i am today.
If you made it up to this point i wanna deeply thank you from my heart, this is all for me to go on and on about my favourite things, but knowing someone might be interested in it makes me feel happy. But now i'll send you away space traveler, to explore other worlds!!

Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005)

Gotta start by saying this will MOST LIKELY be really long and also be pretty full of spoilers, i will be giving a top 5 of my fav episodes someday tho!! Ain't that fun?? ALSO im gonna talk about headcannons because they keep me alive right now, hope you enjoy this, im gonna try not to be a mess out of excitement.

Ok, first, how the hell did i got into this peepee poopoo show?? Well, tiktok really so as you can guess i watched it this year (is 2023 as im writing this), yes, tiktok sucks but im also a little ipad baby and i need some fast entretainment as a break sometimes. I think i must've liked one video of a funny scene from the show and thought "huh, this show seems pretty fun but...i don't like sitcoms" yeah...long story short, people talking about how much they liked this show and their headcannons AND A CANNON QUEER CHARACTER (found this out by a spoiler while watching season 2), made me say ok im gonna give it a try, fine!! you win with your gay stuff!!

I was a little skeptic at first, i only knew it was a sitcom, i saw some stuff of them being funny but not that terrible however
i had read some coment of someone saying that Dennis was a serial killer ???, i was lost and didn't know what to expect, i said to myself "if you don't like it that much just watch it on the background and that's it"...boy i did not know what was coming for me, full on obsessed, watching 3 to 4 episodes a day sending like 500 videos to my poor bestfriend that just wanted to have civilized conversations with me. It hit me so suddenly i don't even remember when it was the exact point i said "oh man this is my fav thing ever".

Ok, now let's talk about why do i like this show so much. It grew on me really fast, by the end of season 2 i was hooked on them, i even ranked the characters i thought would be my fav by the end of the show (i was right hehe). As the seasons kept going and the characters kept developing and coming to themselves i couldn't take my eyes off them, even if they were terrible people, this is an anti-sitcom, awful irredeemable characters being asshole to eachother and ruining other people's life, it all started with me laughing so much and ended in pure tears with my heart full of love for these characters. They have so much more to them than what i thought, so much more than you can see with your eyes and there IS something to them that's relateable, one way or another, there is gonna be something you can see about yourself in them or at least you can laugh your head off, this show SOOOO funny, omg man.

They are like me, Dee not feeling enough, Dennis having big feelings while people thinks he has none, Mac's need for his parents love and Charlie never quite fitting in (neurodivergent charlie is so real to me), and much more, these are deep characters with so much issues which are also the reason why they are the way they are, too far into their delusions to get out of the bar they work at or to make something of themselves. They still have dreams with them, they carry them around like heavy bags. Yes, yes, this is a silly show, yes, yes, im reading too much into it, but everybody hear me out...character analysis!

.☘︎ ݁˖ Im gonna make a Charlie Kelly shrine later so im not gonna go into too much depth about him but i wanted so much to give a shout out to charlie as a character because i truly, TRULY love him so much and he's so me, we are one fr.

I feel so much for all of them and the sad tiktok edits don't help neither, i be crying so hard i the middle of the day because someone made a Mac and Dennis edit to a mitski song... (macdennis is my everything tbh)

.☘︎ ݁˖ Talking about Mac... i also wanna bring attention to his character specially, because yes, this was just some dude that was religious and mysoginistic, to realizing he's gay, to struggle with his sexuality and religion, to denying it, to coming out to his dad with an amazing beautiful dance routine, to not feeling like he fits in with the rest of the queer community, he's just so important to me, his character development is great. And the way he wants SO bad to be loved by his parents yet they never seem to care enough about him, he expects the best from them, still, after all this time...he still thinks they can give him the love and attention he wants. Oh man, not only that, but his obsession with Dennis, bestie stop going after the worst man ever, YOU DESERVE BETTER!! or maybe not, because you are all terrible and deserve eachother but, i want him to be a little happy, pleaseeee, for meeee.

.☘︎ ݁˖ Dennis is also a incredibly interesting character, at first i was really creeped out by him (i stll am when he throws those insane lines), he makes me cringe in a way, however im gonna play devil's advocate (which i do whith all of them anyways) and say that this is all so much deeper, the way he likes younger women than his age has to do with his mother and his struggle for control, he thinks he's above evreryone but his ego is SO fragile, he lives in fear that he doesn't live up to people's expectations (no one expects anything from him), he truly wants to be taken care off and someone than can make him FEEL protected, he likes attention but hates too much of it, he feels the pressure. I haven't even mention his eating disorder man, and that he cannonically has been diagnosed with BPD. He has big feelings, he has a big rage and a short patience. He wants to stop being so angry yet it takes over him so easily he can't stop it. He hates it when people doesn't see him as he does, grrrr i can go on, someone please stop me.

.☘︎ ݁˖ Now Dee, people call her a girlfailure, that's so real. The fact that she was supposed to be a boring character that was the voice of reason and luckily she became what she is right now, i love it, Kaitlin Olsen is such a good actress!! Now about my girl Dee, she is always seen being so desperate to prove that she's enough, not only to the world but also to herself, because well, she's not her mother's favourite, clearly that's Dennis (yes, they're twins). God, this is so real of her, i mean, im an only child but i get her so much, but anyways, because of this she's always trying to be the best and to be part of something and she needs to be told she's pretty enough and young enough AND good enough... having a narcissistic mother would do that to you. I also need to mention the amount of sexism she faces EVERY day in the gang, yes, they all tear eachother down but her being the only woman has to hit her harder somehow, it always seems Mac, Dennis and Charlie are the best friends leaving Dee alone, even completely shaming her for their entertainment. LEAVE MY GIRL ALONE!!!

.☘︎ ݁˖ I don't have anything to say about Frank really, im sorry!!! if there's something i can say is that Danny Devito is PERFECT for this role, he excels at anything the guys throw his way. Also he may not be the best person or even father but i think being the gang's parental figure is so important and i love when he's there with them in the moments they need it, i specially love his relationship with Charlie, that's his son right there man.

Yes, this is me trying to get more people to give this show a try, it's humor is specific i think but if you get it, you get it perfectly, it can be silly and it can be a bit strong. But it's all the satire that is making fun of these characters, of people so delusional and self-centered fucking everything up and having theconsequences of their actions hit them in the face sometimes. If you watch this show, i want you to think of them as characters you are supposed to hate but also somehow see something charming in them, something you can relate to or understand.

This show being made by rcg (Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day), who are also the actors in it (they play Mac, Dennis and Charlie respectively), writing and producing and editing, bringing their wifes and friends to be side characters in some episodes, IASIP really is made with so much love, they still talk about how much they love the show and how much they appreciate having a place where they can fully do what they love and create something they themselves wanna see on tv. I love this one time Charlie said in the sunny podcast that stepping into the set for season 15 (or 16, i can't find a clip, im sorry!!) felt like going back to home. That is also how i feel about this show.

Even saying that these characters are terrible people, even if they ruined other character's life and all, i love them SO much, i love them like nothing in this world. They feel like home to me, they feel like a warm night in a bar, like a cold drink in summer, my dysfunctional family that i wouldn't change for anything in this universe. They get me better than anyone can, i connected with this idiots so much. I would die for this show and for these characters, i feel so at home when i see them, even more when they are nice to eachother (it does happen, i promise), i love when they ARE there for eachother and when you get to see how much they know about eachother. They have been been friends forever and it feels like i've been too. Like i was there in the room with them for every silly situation they got into, every big emotional moment and i ultimately feel like im not alone, and i never will be again.

Metalocalypse (2006)

Yes!! i am insane about them ok!! I hope this rant is not as long as i normally do them because this is, for the most part a silly little show, yes, of course, it's a metal apocalypse but i don't wanna just make a whole thing where i cry over the show because i love it so much to the point it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, anyways, if you read this i hope you enjoy it.

I gotta start with the classic talk of how i got into it of course, it's not really a big thing, i was like 13/14?? and was getting into metal bands and all that, i wanted to watch something related to that, i watched some movies but i didn't feel it that much. Looked up into google and found that this show existed, seemed right up my alley!! metal band?? silly jokes?? violence?? YEAH MAN!!

I didn't think much of it when i watched for the first time, i think i had some issues getting the seasons somehow and i only got to download like 2 seasons. I enjoyed them and for a while i just went on with my life i kinda forgot about the it. Don't really remember how but i remember people where talking about this online, i said to myself "OH MAN, remember that show? i should finish watching all the seasons" this was last year, almost at the end of the year, i was going to see some metal bands live and thought, what better than an animated show about metal to hype me up??

This is where it got real guys, i re-watched the 2 seasons i had seen before but this time i watched the other 2 seasons i missed out on but for concert reasons and me having to go visit my bestie at a different country i didn't watch 'The Doomstar Requiem' their movie that came out in 2013, however watching the whole thing again was for some reason pretty eye opening, i already liked it before even if i didn't think much about it, now i was like audibly laughing at the jokes (THIS SHOW IS SUPER SUPER FUNNY, im leaving some funny moments in the video under this pharagraph) and i fell even more in love with toki (yes, im a toki kinnie ok) and i even cried sometimes. But yes, a new movie came out in 2023, I WAS SO EXCITED!! and when it did came out i WATCHED THE SHOW AGAIN, that's my third time guys...

As you can see, this is one of my favourite shows, i watched every season again, paying close attention, for some reason i was super SUPER into it this year (2024), the characters seemed more than a silly show after i had seen all that the year before, im trying to make this short however i don't think i can. Whatever, i realized im DEFINITELY a toki kinnie, i love him so much and i swear i would die for him and i WILL be making a shrine for him, so look out for that if you like the show too hehe.

Guys, this show starts just with these 5 assholes in a metal band (Dethklok) that's literally SO huge and famous that's running the whole economy of the world, like, that's so funny and they're super great at being a band however not so great at being nice, normal guys, this gets them in INSANE situations, people are trying to kill them for whatever reason, they have so many fans and so crazy for them is like overwhelming. This is like my whole thing, i watch a lot of shows where the main characters are not that good with eachother or even themselves, however, when this year i got to the end of the show, then i watched the 2013 movie AND THEN the 2023 movie back to back, it got me literally sobbing. I love this idiots so so much, im getting teary eyed thinking about them. Anyways, in case you have never heard of this show let me talk a little about the main characters. There's other important characters but im just gonna talk about the Dethklok members.

Nathan Explosion, leader, front-man and lead vocalist in Dethklok. Im not gonna go into depth but if you wanna read more go here. But anyways, what i wanna say of him as a character is that he's the only one in the band that doesn't come from an abusive household (love that for him) and also the only one that is looking for a long term relationship, which DOES get him into dating the wrong women. I LOVE how we see his character development and how his relationship with the band members grows. Ultimately getting to be able to get his skills and confidence to shine in the 2023 movie as a vocalist, lyricist and leader.

Pickles 'The Drummer', well obviously the drummer of the band kasjaj. He as well as the rest of the members had a rough childhood, constantly being compared to his brother and being pushed down, became an alcoholic as a child, he left home as a teenager and was the lead singer in a band called Snakes 'n' Barrels at age 16, they disbanded due to drug and alcohol problems. He's the oldest and also the shortest of the band lol, he was asthmatic and has used an inhaler on a stress related relapse. I love so much how his backstory affects his behaviours as an adult because i relate to his story a little bit. Im an only child tho, but just as him, i have always been under everyone and nothing i do seems to be enough for my parents to be proud of me (ok traumadumping). More info

William Murderface, bassist and the 'ugliest member in Dethklok'. He is the member we know the least of in terms of his childhood but we do know that he became an orphan as a baby when his father killed his mother with a chainsaw and then himself. Murderface was raised by his grandparents who as we see in the episodes doesn't treat him well, so we can asume it was the same during his childhood. I need to mention that he is very sensitive about his appearance and the rest of the band just piles on making fun of him. We eventualy do see this affects him more than he makes it known.More info

Skwissgaar Skwigelf, lead guitarist and the 'most attractive member in Dethklok'. He is very attached to his guitar, he found it one day on a cave when he ran away from his house after discovering his mother having sex with two men (She neglected Skwissgaar and doesn't know who his father is). He is ALWAYS seen with this guitar, uses it to release stress and has been playing it ever since a child, he is the most skilled musician of the band and knows everything there is to know about guitar, he doesn't know much about anything else. He is very proud of his title as the world's fastest guitarist and puts a lot of preassure on himself to keep it. We see him have some breakdowns and have insecurities. "Skwisgaar privately fears failure and rejection" More info

Toki Wartooth, rhythm guitarist of the band, the youngest and the most fit out of all of them, is diabetic. He endured a lot of physical and abusive labour as a child, we see flashbacks of him being phisically punished and isolated. Toki has a lot of "childish" hobbies and interests, he's not completely childlish (all of dehtklok have like the brain of 14 year olds tbh), we have seen an episode where he says he doesn't want to be associated with children and seen as the child friendly member of the band (basically, infantilize him). He has had emotionals breakdowns and meltdowns in some episodes. Once again and with all the members, their pasts have been very huge influence in how they act as grown ups. Toki escaped his home as a teenager and lived on the streets until he got into Dethklok at an open audition, he's the only person than can come close to being as good as a guitarist as Skwissgaar. The rest is history. More info

Let me talk about how AMAZING the songs are, this is a show made by real metal musicians, if you enjoy deth metal, bro, do they have songs for you but honestly even if you didn't, i think you can see the talent and love for the show through how much effort is put into the songs. Is so impressive and even when i was on that long break from the first to the second viewing of this show i was still litening to the songs, Dethklok fucking rules guys. I gotta say that i love every single one of the characters, even the side characters (yes, even Dr. Rockso), even the villains seem so well made that i can't help but want to know more about them and why are they doing what they're doing. Here i leave one of my favourite song (that has a music video).

Now i wanna talk a little bit about headcannons, i fucking LOVE them!! a well as Brendon Small, the creator of the show. Here he is a link of him saying it himself. Recently he also expressed his agreement with the headcannon of Pickles being trans!! (i wanna mention here that i, as well as many, believe Toki to be autistic) Im truly in love with how supportive he is and im so incredibly happy, as one of the many queer and neurodivergent fans of this show. Thank you to everyone making beautiful and funny and silly fanarts, to people who make merch (even if i can't buy them) and to people making fics and other stuff. I LOVE YOU ALL !!!!

Talking about love, i love this show (yes i said it a million times), like, apart from the fact that is really funny and has great music it also has a lot of heart. This show to me, and many other fans, is about found family, kind of a dysfunctional one but better than most of their families and hey, they HAVE risked their lives to save eachother even after saying that caring about the band member's personal life was gay, guess who's gay now? hehe. In all seriousness, i also feel like a part of the family, i feel like i definitely would die for them, even if they didn't ask me to, i WOULD sacrifice myself to save their lives, i am a gear in the wheel of the klok, forever and ever. And i honestly wouldn't want it any other way.
