Form Of … An Hour Of My Life I’ll Never Get Back
But for a handful of shows, I absolutely abhor network television. However, I am ashamed to admit that, among the shows I do watch, I am a closet fan of Heroes. I know, I know – that’s almost as bad as being a fan of Good Charlotte. So be it.
If you’re unaware, Heroes is the NBC sci-fi drama is about people who “thought they were like everyone else… until they woke with incredible abilities” such as telepathy, time travel and flight.
It is trite. It is campy. It is unintentionally hilarious at times. But it is also addictive.
One of the cheesiest aspects of the show is how serious it takes itself.
Someone really needs to tell all these fucktards that it’s all just an act. They’re not really heroes and the fate of civilization is not, in fact, based on how much they overact. Shit, even the shows narrator sounds like he’s been told that mankind will perish if he does not over-emphasize just how much the cheerleader loves her daddy.
It’s a bit like watching a version of The Super Friends that’s been produced by the makers of The Young And The Restless.
Unfortunately, as noted above, it’s also just as additive.
But finally, finally, someone much smarter and talented than I has produced a parody worthy of the shows name. Holy shit, this is one of the funniest clips I’ve seen in a while.
Heroes or Zeros
Hands down, best line: “If you could balance a flip phone on your nose, would you use it to save the world?”

UPDATE: Thanks to the omniscience of one of my readers, I learned through a Variety Article that this “Zeroes” clip is just one of dozens, if not hundreds, of NBC-created viral videos the network has clandestinely unleashed over the past year.
I feel so used.
Good Charlotte? Good Fucking Charlotte?! What kind of nattering fucktard likes good Charlotte? I mean, Joel isn’t HALF as sexy as Jared Leto, and Jared dresses waaaaay better. At least Jared answers his fucking fan mail, not like that self absorbed prick Joel. According to Tiger Beat, Jared and I like totally have the same interests and stuff. I just hope I win that fan contest cuz it would so totally rock if the fan club (which I’m, lik, so totally in charge of and some junk)won those front row tickets.
Um, ahh…..yikes.
Chez, I totally respect your opinion and your talents as a writer. I humbly withdraw my comment on the grounds that I just realized I may be gay.
Good Charlotte still sucks big donkey balls.
Err … Manny, you do realize this isn’t Chez’s blog, right?
Hahahaha. I’m sorry but I’d have to say “I can do a stomach thingy” is probably the best part. Hilarious find.
About that parody video…

Yeah……Just covering my bootylicious rear end in case he reads this.
Damn Manny, why you gotta be all ghetto about it?
Matt, I’m assuming that the Sony store ads are pre-made – that is, you don’t get to choose what the advertise? Otherwise… well… otherwise it means you like Jennifer Love Hewitt’s new album. And let’s be honest, there are two reasons to like her, and neither of them is her music.
