WHAT

[lirazel]

So I was reading Sady's article at Tiger Beatdown about the movie adaptation of Atlas Shrugged and of course it's hilarious. Apparently it's starring a bunch of not-very-famous people, including that guy who played the dad on One Tree Hill. Now, I've seen about four random episodes of that show and couldn't tell you one thing that happened on it, though I could tell you all the characters' names and such because of that lovely little thing we call fandom osmosis (seriously, the things I've picked up when I wasn't paying much attention in fandom are both awesome and horrifying).

Anyway!

Some sadistic soul linked to THE. MOST. INSANE. MOMENT OF TELEVISION THAT I HAVE EVER. SEEN.

A bit of context: apparently dad-guy here is in the waiting room before getting a heart transplant. Now, watch:

WHAT. WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.

Three things:

1. Why has no one on my flist ever linked to this before? Surely one of you knew that something this INSANELY RIDICULOUS existed in the world! You've been holding out on me!

2. Please, please, please someone tell me that this is some sort of surreal dream sequence. PLEASE. WHY IS THE DOG IN THE WAITING ROOM? WHY DOES THE GUY CARRYING THE ORGAN NOT LOOK WHERE HE'S GOING? WHY DOES NO ONE FREAK THE HELL OUT THAT THIS JUST HAPPENED? WHY DOES EVERYONE JUST LOOK RESIGNED AND A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED? WHAT WHAT WHAT.

3. My theory is that CMM's character is some kind of evil villain with superpowers that conspired to make all this happen. Because that look he gives dad-guy there at the end? It's all, "Yeah, I made that guy trip and spill your heart and then I made your dog eat it. It's revenge for that time you abandoned me and my mom and were a giant douche." Okay, apparently I remember something about the show after all.

Seriously, someone explain this to me. Because I think my brain just exploded.

NOT A DREAM SEQUENCE. ALSO THIS SCENE IS INFAMOUS HAD I KNOWN YOU HADN'T BEEN AWARE I WOULD'VE LINKED IT TO YOU MYSELF.

Best part? The ten second interlude where the nurse, dude who dropped it in the first place, and everyone else just stands there and does NOTHING. Like that is a human heart and you all stand around in shock and let the dog eat it.

ONE TREE HILL, MAN.

MAY, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE YOU. There is no way a human being could think that this is anything but the stupidest, most ridiculous thing ever seen on television.

I have no idea how I've never seen this. Like, it baffles me.

I KNOW! She just covers her mouth! And everyone around them is all business as usual!

SHOW OF THE GODS.

LOOLOL. NOW I DESPERATELY WANT AN ICON THAT SAYS THAT. One Tree Hill: SHOW OF THE GODS. Respect the lulz.

I swear that is half the allure (no, ALL THE ALLURE) of watching this in the first place. They are so ridiculous and unforgivably so. I'm pretty sure Joel McHale talked it about on The Soup once, heh.

I concur with your assessment about Chad Lucas Whatever His Name Is orchestrating it all. He's all sucks to be you, dad I never knew.

IT WOULD BE AWESOME.

I really had no idea the show became that cracktastic. Like, I watched a few of the episodes in S1 and maybe a random one here and there from other seasons, so I really had no clue that it goes that far with the crazy. I approve of Joel McHale mocking it.

What else could that look he gives him mean? He shoots him an evil look, slightly shakes his head, and turns away.

That article was awesomesocks.

Poor, sad man with giant face! Why did a dog have to eat his heart? Even worse, that grisel-faced young guy had to go and give him the stink-eye. That was mean. A dog just ATE HIS HEART, kid! Why you gotta be so mean?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Wasn't it?

Well, in defense of the kid giving the stinkeye, big-headed-guy is the villain of the show, a giant jackass and all-around horrible person. BUT STILL. A DOG. ATE HIS HEART.

Your icon is disturbingly appropriate....

[jnb71976.livejournal.com]

First time using that Batista foot icon, which I love. You gave me a reason :).

Even the villain deserves a little sympathy when a golden retriever snacks on his pumper.

I've never seen that show, but golly. After that I may have to look it up.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

This will be my never-ending claim to fame! I gave you reason! And then you whip out another appropriate icon!

HA! So true!

I'm not sure it's that consistently cracktastic, unfortunately. That may have been the highlow point.

*is too frightened to click link*

Please, please tell me House got high on something...?

Or that Vinny is about to climb into Doogie's window and wake him up from this...this...

WHAT.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

The link is totally fabulous. You should click it.

HAHAHAHAHA!

[redsilverchains.livejournal.com]

Wah, wah, how could you let a dog eat your heart dad!

"Yeah, I made that guy trip and spill your heart and then I made your dog eat it.

OH GOD WHAT WHAT I DON'T EVEN EITHER.

Unexpected Drama is Unexpected

I SWEAR TO GOD!!! I thought you guys were ragging on a sit-com for being low brow. Then I watched the clip and noticed the swelling violins and long reaction shots.


SOMEONE IN EDITING SCREWED UP AND DELETED THE LAUGH TRACK!!! THAT'S THE ONLY EXPLANATION!!!!

[ahigheroctave.livejournal.com]

I did know of this moment. I remember watching this when it aired and I was up doing a term paper and my OTH obsessed friend sent me a link directly after the show.

And I was like...what...there's a dog...in the hospital...and he's eating a heart? My dog won't eat chicken liver but he'll eat a heart?

[gillo]

Bleeding sodding hell. WTF is that? What were the writers on for gawd's sake?

UNBE BLOODY LIEVABLE.

[shamoogity.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA! I just watched that 4 times in a row. And I've seen it before.

My old roommate loved this show, and I remember watching this episode with her (or rather, her watching it while I was on my computer trying to pretend the TV was off) and just staring at the TV with my mouth open at this scene. Then I just cracked up.

The best part about this? My roommate totally just glared at me like I had personally insulted her. She really was caught up in the "drama" of the moment and couldn't get why I thought that scene was completely ridiculous.
