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.
