422 - Pew Pew Pewen!, The Audience Demands Satisfaction, No Appetite For Sitcom Wieners, and "Turn Your Workout Counter-Clockwise With Conan!"

(The following Mr. Brown lines are unedited so they...well...WE make sense. -  Mr. Silver)
[12:09 PM] Mr. Brown:

So i went and asked for pain killers and tried to day pain pills and ended up saying i need some pewen
[12:12 PM] Ms. Rose:

*attempts to de-code Mr. Brown-Speak*
[12:16 PM] Mr. Blue:

Yeah that sentence makes no sense
[12:17 PM] Mr. Brown:

oops put in day instead of say

i did actually say pewen
[12:18 PM] Mr. Blue:

Where did you go to ask for this?
[12:18 PM] Mr. Silver:
At the pewen store
[12:18 PM] Mr. Brown:

i started in the middle of a thought again
[12:18 PM] Mr. Blue:

At the pewmacy

He's just another pew-popper
[12:19 PM] Mr. Silver:
How many pews are you taking already?
[12:19 PM] Mr. Brown:

3

lol
[12:20 PM] Mr. Silver:
You need stronger pews.
[12:20 PM] Mr. Blue:

He's pewverdosing
[12:20 PM] Mr. Silver:
I suggest refried black beans, hard boiled eggs, and extra pulpy orange juice
But for the love of God, don't do that to the rest of us before coming into work, OK?
[12:21 PM] Mr. Brown:

Apparently pewen is a place in chili

lol
[12:21 PM] Mr. Silver:
Nice 3 bean chili with onions can give you a good pewen experience.
(It's “Chile”)
[12:22 PM] Mr. Blue:

The manufacturer of pewen must be ILP - Industrial Light and Pharmaceuticals

(two stormtroopers)

"Ahh, I’ve got a splitting headache."

"Here, take two of these."

"Mmm. Pewen. Yellow. Different."
[12:22 PM] Mr. Silver:
(later) - *PEW PEW PEW!!!* - "I feel GREAT!  Thanks!  … Still can't hit anything though!"
[12:24 PM] Ms. Rose:

Guys. Stop. (rofl)(rofl)(rofl)(rofl)



[9:42 AM] Mr. Blue:

Watched this:




Lots of talk of "demanding satisfaction", but a good movie

Keith Carradine - who I had only seen in 1 other thing prior - was very good

I think it was Ridley Scott's first film
[9:48 AM] Mr. Silver:
I enjoyed that one
Caught it partway through the first time, looked for it for a long time after before I found it to rent.
[9:49 AM] Mr. Blue:

It was what Barry Lyndon should've been

Its apparently based on a true story
[9:59 AM] Mr. Silver:
The title in France was changed to "Le Lieutenant Feraud est un Âne Complet"
[10:00 AM] Mr. Blue:

Heh

I even had dreams about a'holes like him after

I dreamt I was in line at Chik-fil-A and some lady tried to balance her drink on my shoulder while she did something else and it spilled and she was mad at me about it.

And then the restaurant was like "Sir, we think you should leave"

"DO AN INQUIRY!"
[10:02 AM] Mr. Silver:
"We shall meet at lunch rush!"
"I select wafflecut fries and Heinz dip cups."
[10:04 AM] Mr. Blue:

Alternate US title: “The Satisfaction Demanders”
[10:07 AM] Mr. Silver:
That the cut the Rolling Stones did the soundtrack for?
[10:08 AM] Ms. Rose:

They can't get no.
[10:09 AM] Mr. Silver:
No. No no.
[10:11 AM] Ms. Rose:

Hey hey hey.
[10:11 AM] Mr. Silver:
(concertina music...Mick Jagger in a stripy shirt and beret, smoking, singing languidly into a baguette) "Je ne peux pas obtenir aucune sa-tis-fac-tion..."
[10:12 AM] Ms. Rose:

(rofl)



[10:23 AM] Mr. Blue:

Did I tell you about the Anthony Wiener documentary? If I didn't, I recommend it. It's good.
[10:23 AM] Ms. Rose:

He said Wiener. Huh huh huh!
[10:23 AM] Mr. Silver:
Hmm… hnn... YEAH!  He DID!  ...  WEE-neeeer...
[10:23 AM] Mr. Blue:

Very interesting look behind the scenes of a campaign with scandals and all
[10:23 AM] Mr. Silver:
Saw it was on demand... it didn't really draw my interest.
[10:23 AM] Mr. Blue:

It's fairly done

He's actually endearing, even if he's also a creep

And you get to hear a lot from his wife, Huma
[10:26 AM] Mr. Silver:
You hear a lot from his human wife.”
The “Endearing Creep” is a staple of the American sitcom since the 80s
[Bland theme music, insipid lyrics, montage of family photos]
(Audience claps as scene opens on barely 18 daughter in slip trying to decide between two outfits in front of mirror)
(Creepy nerdy neighbor kid walks into girl’s bedroom unasked, crowd goes wild)
"Hey Hershel!  I'm in my underwear, you know!"
(goofy voice) "That's OK!  I'm in some of it too!"
(crowd goes wild)
You should knock for my permission to come up to my room!”
(mugging for audience) “With your permission, I'll knock you up any time!”
(crowd goes wild, whistling)
(completely clueless) "Thanks! So how was your big date last night?"
(stupid pose established in season 3) "It was great!  Dinner, dancing, a walk in the park, and another restraining order hearing!"
(crowd goes wild)
[10:31 AM] Mr. Silver:
God how I hate those characters...
[10:31 AM] Mr. Blue:

LOL




[10:17 AM] Mr. Silver:
Wow...article topic aside, check out the amazing physical characteristics of the fellow on the right. 
[10:18 AM] Mr. Blue:

The Popeye of calves

Ironic that a bull is staring at his calves

"God has blessed me with cantaloupe calves and the head the size of a lady's fist."
[10:21 AM] Ms. Rose:

The bull on the ground can't take his eyes away from those legs. He's mesmerized.
[10:22 AM] Mr. Blue:

Supposedly, the ancient Greek wrestler Milo of Croton got stronger by carrying a calf around on his back every day. As it grew larger, he grew stronger

The original progressive overload

Another exercise idea if Farmcore* doesn't work out: The Wheel of Pain from Conan

Chain 10 guys to a grinding wheel...last man standing gets absolutely yoked. The other 9? Well... Just make sure they sign waivers and the cheques clear.
(*The Farmcore Diet and Exercise Program is one of the funniest things we've ever written...so...of course...I lost it. I sifted through files for days trying to get it back. I will be punished in Heaven for not giving it to the world – Mr. Silver)
[10:28 AM] Mr. Silver:
Hehe
(Chronicler) "From that day, Mighty Conan walked forward with his arms stretched before him, knowing no other way."
[10:30 AM] Mr. Blue:

LOL
[10:33 AM] Mr. Silver:
"Never retreating from the enemy.  Never lowering his weapons.  For Conan could not walk backwards or lower his limbs.  Through the ancient kingdoms he conquered, always drifting to the left."
[10:44 AM] Mr. Blue:

Conan couldn't have even been able to stand upright with the kind of muscular imbalances the grinding wheel would create.

Unless he was leaning against something
[10:44 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yes...
Actually, when I think about it, he'd always drift right, not left.
Because his whole left side would have been a fair bit larger and stronger.
[10:45 AM] Mr. Blue:

Yeah...it went counter-clockwise in the film.
[10:46 AM] Mr. Brown:

"Conan: The Guy That's Really Good At Pushing Heavy Objects"
[10:48 AM] Mr. Silver:
Conan: The Pusher
Would be a funny comic or short...Conan solving everything by inexorably pushing against things
[10:50 AM] Mr. Blue:

That would be good

He'd always need a convenient log or boulder around
[10:51 AM] Mr. Brown:

And he can never go backwards
[10:52 AM] Mr. Blue:

He'd be in some ornate palace.. and there's just a boulder sitting there in the right place.

In the desert... “Look! A log! Just what Conan needs!”
[10:52 AM] Ms. Rose:

I always loved the Conan the Librarian skit from the UHF movie.

"These books are laaaaaaate!" *huge sword comes smashing down*
[10:54 AM] Mr. Blue:

Heh. I don't remember that, but it sounds funny
[10:55 AM] Ms. Rose:




[10:57 AM] Mr. Blue:

Maybe they had alternating push/pull days on the grinding wheel and just didn't show it.
[10:57 AM] Mr. Brown:

Right, for balance.

Maybe one day a week they had everybody pushing oposite directions for more resistance.

I wonder if the wheel ever broke

Like there was a couple solid weeks of no pushing and they start going into decline.
[10:57 AM] Mr. Blue:

The best part of the Wheel of Pain is the music. It's like orchestral metal
[10:58 AM] Mr. Brown:

Since that was all of his early training, maybe dub Eye of the Tiger over the scene. 
[10:58 AM] Mr. Blue:

LOL

Do like an 80s montage in a Hyborian setting

Conan keeps coming out of a tent trying on different animal skins and war helmets, and the Mongols keep shaking their heads in disapproval
