I reckon I’ll take this time today to get my endorse on.
There are a lot of comedy cartoon shows for adults- Family Guy, The Simpsons and Futurama (to an extent), American Dad, The Cleveland Show, South Park, yada.
There’s one more which has slipped under the radar for a lot of people: Archer.
Archer is now in its fourth series and hasn’t dropped a beat once in quality or humour. It’s a spy spoof, taking off James Bond and all the rest. Archer is an inept frat-boy agent who only has the gig with private intelligence agency ‘Isis’ because his mother runs it.
His mother is a horrible, horrible bitch. His co-workers are inept. He’s misogynistic and arrogant and somewhat thick.
In short, it’s hilarious! They make a surprising amount of language jokes, which always tickle me. For example: “I happen to have perfect situational awareness, Lana. Which cannot be taught, by the way. Like a poet’s … mind for … to make the perfect words.”
Anyway, look at youtube, because you can’t convey this stuff in word format.
I was wracking my brain for something to blog about today.
I failed.
But the caveat, and in many ways the idea, of this daily blog nonsense was that each day didn’t have to be an essay. Think of it a bit like a ‘thought for the day’. If my blog were an app, it would pop up each day with a short bit of chatter that you can read on one screen, or the occasional article, bit of news or update on my writing.
