Title: Trading Spouses - or whatever that show is called
Post by: Crazy Cooter on November 03, 2005, 11:30:18 am
Anyone watch that show where they send their wives to a new family for a week last night?  They took a real religious christian wife and swapped her with a spiritualist wife.  Pretty intense.  Next week is part 2 and looks even better.  I finally have a good show to watch  (at least for another week).

If your talking about the show I've seen previews of, the lady reminds me of the bus driver on south park...the nutty one with a bird in her hair.

I watched a bit of it for the first time last night.  Very amusing!  Gotta love insane religious people.  :angel:
I was going to record next weeks, but then found it conflicts with Lost.  Oh well.

The show would only be worth watching if dudes still had to nail the chick...

...guess what?  We're going to swap your wife with a new one!  And you get to nail her!

...and then you open the door to that.

I am shocked and appalled at what television has become. It has gone steadily downhill since the death of the Paul Hogan show.

That show tanked when "throw another shrimp on the barby" wasn't good enough and they tried "throw another dwarf on the barby".

I can imagine the show made no sense whatsoever to the non-Australian.

It is like me trying to understand why you guys are so obsessed with shows like Oprah and Ricky Lake and Jerry Springer.

We're not... the only people who like those shows are the type that find the antics of white trash amusing, rather than just swept away in a cleansing nuclear blast.

Oh, so shows like 'The Wiggles' must only make sense over there???

My 2 year olds addicted.  Makes me wanna slice my wrists.

There is a reasonable difference between the Wiggles and Arthur Dungar....

I saw the Wiggles live.  It was surreal.

Typical kiddie show.  Bright colors, music, fluffy animals.

My wife took my son to see them live.  I wasn't really worried about her, if you catch my drift.  NTTIAWWT.

"Dude, chicks were screaming like they were the Beatles."

Wow.

Back to restructuring world views.  Its been an educational day.

Must be the pants with the stripes.

EDit:  Duh.  Its the accent.  Chicks dig accents.

WTF is Arthur Dungar???
He was a simple officer worker who was one day caught in a closing elevator door.

He was rebuilt and returned as Arthur Donger super hero. Her would fly around carrying an esky of beer and get into adventures where he bounced people with his giant beer gut.

Classic late 70's early 80's Aussie comedy stuff...  :D

I woundn't really group those shows together.  But Jerry is the king of white trash talk shows.
I don't know if its cause we have alot of white trash in the US or just that we like to see a bunch of white trash being xtra trashy but its ratings is pretty high.

Springer is on in the middle of the day... it's unemployed, white trash that like to watch the white trash.

So what are different levels of white trash?

Paris Hilton is probably the highest class of white trash.
Where would white trailer trash go?

White trash is a frame of mind, not a location.

Apart from the fact Oprah doesn't do as much confrontational conflict, they are exactly the same kind of show, just each aiming at a different audience. Jerry Springer is obviously more important though, because he got his own Weird Al song. :)

I think the new catch phrase for the year will end up being "Get the F*** out of my house in Gods name I pray!"

For those not sure its the supposed christian flipping out the whole show.  I think she is trying to sell it to the camera.  She kept pointing at the camera and flipping out at any little conflict with her beliefs.  It wasn't someone forcing her to do anything ungodly.

I'm hoping my Tivo recorded Trading Spouses this week now that you guys have hyped it up so much.
The Wiggles drive me nuts but I find myself humming the songs here and there (Fruit salad, yummy yummy) and it's at those times that I would like to stab my ear drums out with a pair of scissors or perhaps a tree trimmer. I do have to say that they are 1,000 times better than f-ing Barney or the mf-ing Tele Tubbies.
FYI - The ladies love Greg and Anthony. Jeff and Murray are the more homely Wiggles.

My wife started making fun of Anthony once he got his teeth done, though... they're like neon white now.
