"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

You know, I think it may be that there's a sort of earnestness there. Like, "I'm going to sing and dance to this song! I like this song! Enjoy this song with me, won't you?" that's not trying to be HAWT or campy.

I find JT can pull this off sometimes too, and I'm disturbed by that.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Color Me Badd! This is just not fair.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Yes, I was very amused by the smooth R&B selections. I wanted some Boys II Men.

So, has Acafellas disbanded since Josh Groban doesn't want them as an opening act?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

There was lots of cringiness.

And yet, as soon as they hit the numbers, whammo.

Also, wouldn't it cost a lot less than $8000 to buy a fog machine? I'm just saying Sue must have a significantly long view.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

If anyone can catch a rerun of Inside the Actors Studio with the voices of Family Guy, I highly recommend it. It was hysterical.

or is just that hateful.

so, was the cheerio at the end starting to see through Sue's hate-on for the glee club? It sounded like she was becoming *gasp* self aware!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I never laughed so hard at that show. I had to keep rewinding to see what I'd missed.

Me too! The actors were so quick about answering questions in character.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Glee was awesome. I died with "Josh Groban loves a blowsy alcoholic." Bwah!!

JG always seemed so ... I don't know - white bread, for lack of a better. I seriously can't thinkof a better descriptor right now, I have the dumb. But I'm wondering if A) he doesn't have at least some sense of humor about his image and B) is really bent on the inside. Barb, I might need the lowdown and JG's private life.

“Not dead yet!”

Both A & B are completely on the money, Aims. He has a huge sense of awareness of how he's perceived and an even bigger sense of humor about that image. And he has a seriously bent and far to the left of twisted sense of humor. The one thing he's always struck me as taking completely seriously is the music. Anything else is fair game.

Here's a good indicator of his sense of humor. (And it totally fits in this thread, since it's def. comedy.)
