friends

The world is changed, you can feel it in the water. Literally. (Lord of the Ugh.) But seriously, we live in a vastly different world even from the one we lived in just 12 months ago. For one thing, the ocean is 3/4 oil now. Also: iPads. Also: Avatar. Also: Justin Bieber. Also: Team Conan. The list goes on and on, from the advent of Pajama Jeans to the discovery of the elusive Double Rainbow, the march of progress has carried us ever forward since this time last year.

And yet, as the great Banjoman Frainkloin once said, “nothing is certain but death and taxes and people on reality TV needlessly explaining that they are not here to make friends.” And so: the more things change the more things stay the same, and with that in mind, Videogum is proud to join Rich FourFour in presenting this year’s Annual Supercut of Idiots Saying “I’m Not Here to Make Friends”:

Haha. Et tu, ICE ROAD TRUCKERS?!

See you in 2011!

  5. Fine. I’ll say it, loud and proud. I’m here to make friends. I enjoy knitting and Dr. Who. Any takers? I make a damn fine pie, if that helps.


  6. Some people need to refresh their 90s.

    • The subtle yellow half circles on the border of this pic keep throwing me off. I’ve tried cleaning off my screen like 4 times today. Fool me once, shame on you…fool me twice, shame on me.

      • “Fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me twice… can’t get fooled again.” – George W. Bush.

        Remember when Bush was the butt of every joke ever? But now there’s a hole in the ocean and everyone’s buying pajama jeans like hot cakes and it’s like we forgot all about the W-itticisms.

    Not these people though. I don’t wanna be their friend.

  15. Is there a reality show yet where people ARE there, just to make friends? America’s Next Top Congeniality Runway Chef Show?

  16. I would make a Whodini joke, but I’m fairly certain it wouldn’t be as well received as I would like.

  17. I haven’t seen this much alienation since Caan and Patinkin were out busting the jabluka ring of greater Los Angeles, okay?

  18. I would like to see a reality show where the winner goes on to become an action movie star.

    “We’ve got company.”

    “Well, I’m sure not going to be friends with any of them.”

  28. I’m not here. To make friends, please leave a message and I’ll get back to you.

  29. I wonder what Louis C.K would think about “a crotch full of friends”? Once he’s done with figuring out the dick thing, I mean.
