You know, I’m not a huge fan, personally, of self-congratulatory awards ceremonies funded by an industry in order to perpetuate its own market dominance, and last night’s Emmys were no exception, but there were actually some pretty good parts! The opening number was great. Hurley dancing! Kate Gosselin jokes! And Jimmy Fallon’s three-part musical parody number dedicated to the shows we’ve lost this year was really funny. Otherwise, he pretty much stayed out of the way and kept the show going, which was his job, after all. I will say that the “fan Twitter” thing was a rare miss. It’s 2010, we all have computers now, and we’re all aware that we all have computers, it doesn’t have to constantly be a “thing.” Relax, Emmys. Lots of deserving people won awards they deserved, and apparently they gave one to the guy from Big Bang Theory because he only has two months left to live? Guys, I’m worried about the guy from Big Bang Theory. Jon Cryer, of course, was ROBBED. But the highlight of the evening has to have been Ricky Gervais. Holy cow! That was just great. He tore Mel Gibson a new one because Ricky Gervais has a million million dollars and don’t give a ffffffff. And beers. And Bucky Gunts. Tonight we are all Bucky Gunts, indeed.

We want Bucky done Gunts.
@celebuzz #goingthedistance I’d go the distance for Christina Hendricks’ boobs. OMG.
You know, I think they’re big enough such that you wouldn’t have to go very far.
I cheated and nominated BOTH of them for Best Dressed!
Can we at least give Amy Poehler runner-up?
“Christina Hendricks and friends“. #jaylenogum
After her stint on SNL and her ‘Bettyness’ on Mad Men , I’m slowly developing a real life disdain for January Jones. It’s even starting to offset how much I like looking at her, which is a lot. If she marries Glenn Beck I may stop wanting to look at her altogether, maybe.
Sorry, you were saying?
I’m stealing this observation from AnAmPatriot’s live tweets from last night (which were the best!)…but the Emmy’s totally spoiled the season finale of LOST in their “Year in Review” for drama.
No, I’m pretty sure the creators spoiled the series finale for all of their fans.
I wish I could disagree with you.
I’m so ecstatically happy I could disagree with you.
THANKS! There WAS LOTS of spoilers, ALL NIGHT long.
I didn’t watch, but Aaron Paul won, so I’m happy.
I try to maintain feelings of pure contempt for awards shows in general and the Emmys in particular and this year’s Emmys in particular particular (really? Snubbing Katey Sagal?), but it is SO HARD TO DO THAT when Aaron Paul wins a thing and I am just so happy for him.
I used to have a thing for a girl called Emmy
I have a thing for Emmy the Great
I feel really embarrassed for all the actors that performed in Jimmy Fallon’s musical number.
Yeah, I bet they really regret performing in an opening number that was actually funny and well-received
jk07, may I upvote your comment about a dozen more times?
That opening number was one of the crowning achievements of his sad, unfunny career. When you’re bad at telling jokes without laughing through them, I guess it’s cool if you pick up a guitar and sing the jokes. Even better if you just do a Springsteen song with Kate Gosselin “dancing” behind you.
I’m glad the guy from The Big Bang Theory won. Maybe now that show will get the recognition it deserves for being even worse than Two And A Half Men.
Oh, I like that show. It doesn’t do anything too innovative with the format, but the characterizations of various brands of nerd are surprisingly accurate for a three-camera show, and the jokes are a good mix of sitcommy and nerdy. It isn’t appointment TV, but it is certainly not worse than Two And A Half Men.
There is nothing that is worse than 2.5 Men.
I’ve never smirked, let alone laughed. The show just dresses up normal sitcom jokes with SAT synonyms and calls itself smart.
was this a thing?
So I thought the opening sketch was pretty funny! I love singing and dancing and Jon Hamm! It also proved to me that he will do anything, and be/look great doing it.
Everything John Hamm does is the best. He was acting his balls off in Mad Men last night.
Oh man, was it great! And silly Jon Hamm is so sexy. I want to see a gif(t) of Jon Hamm trying to woo Betty White with his dope dance moves
Your move, Monsters…
Here here!
I hope this holds you over until then…
Thank you! This will hold me over until forever.
I liked when Will Arnett wrote a dirty poem about that autistic girl’s boobs! Wait, Claire Danes ISN’T autistic? Oh. Well, someone give her an award then.
Why did they pair him with Keri Russell, btw? Is Felicity still a thing?
‘Cause this? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1615926/ “Running Wilde” = (Will Arnett + David Cross) / Keri Russell
Ah — thanks.
She won the Simple Jack Award for best portrayal of a handicapped character.
Re: Mbrew
yeah but they gave her superpowers i think, like math or mind bullets or the ability to talk to horses at the rodeo…. oh wait
her super power is designing slaughter houses.

Is calling something a “thing” a thing?
RELAX, technofourisfive.
I signed in to down-vote fourisfive, but instead I up-voted you. I’m spreading happiness and good cheer everywhere I go.
I hope that you see the error of your ways. If you don’t like what you’re reading then don’t read it. You’re going to get harassed for saying something like that anyways, might as well just save yourself the minute and a half you spent typing that, oh, and the two minutes to make an account and upload a picture on it, and go somewhere else.
Look, it’s okay, fourisfive. You don’t have to make this a thing.
So you created an account with a nonsensical name like the rest of us and added an avatar in the similar vein so you could criticize us for being “ridiculous” and somehow tie in “imperialism and bigots?”
Well-played, fourisfive, now I think we see the error of our ways.
Even though I’ve witnessed this THING, sorry fourisfive
, the YOU MAD picture more than one million times, I think that this is just great placement and timing for it.
It caught me WAY off-guard, and I started laughing like a ridiculous hyena when I saw it. Good job, Liz.
I’m with fourisfive on this. I actually used the “Is [x] a thing?” once and only once, felt ashamed and trendy for doing it and swore I would never do it again. Speak truth to power, fourisfive. Word.
Steve, you’re behavior on this site is the thingiest thing I’ve ever witnessed. I can’t wait until someone asks Is Steve Winwood still a thing?
Ummm, really though, IS Steve Winwood still a thing?
You know Steve, sometimes I hate you, but then sometimes I really hate you.
We get it.
You like Felicity.
You were probably the only one who stuck around watching after she *SPOILER ALERT* cut off all her hair.
This post is fun because grammar.
OH MY GOD.
Can we all do the world a favour and stop calling out overused memes in an “overly dramatic” way? Ex:
fourisfive: OH MY GOD.
What the fuck is wrong with you? That’s ridiculous for so many reasons and it’s not witty or insightful or even POLITICALLY CORRECT, you terrible person!
socialism and douchebaggery: Was this an overused meme?
In the first 20 words of your post, there are two instances of being overly dramatic. I see it all over this site, as everyone is trying so desperately to be hip and superior for their INTERNET FRIENDS.
Ahh, everything about this makes me hot. You’re all pretentious and this awesome site with its cultural musings are irreverent and amusing.
I hope you all see the error of your ways.
(try it with me.. it’s kind of fun!)
My turn!:
OH MY GOD.
Can we all do the world a flavor and stop asking if something is a “king”? Ex:
Polythene Pam: Am I the king of funny commenters?
What the fuck is so awesome about you? That’s incredible for so many reasons and it’s not offensive or sucky or even BLAMMATICALLY SLURRECT, you amazing lady!
Your mom and dad: Was that a thing?
In the first eleventy billion comments, there are a jazillion instances of things that make me LOL IRL. I see it all over this site, as everyone is trying so desperately to be cute and funny AND SUCCEEDING. Laaa, everything about this makes me sing. You’re all cool and this insane site with its cultural musings are abominable and snowman.
I hope you all see a double rainbow.
♥
LOL
Somebody is gunning for Monster’s Ball! Because being the worst is still technically being the best at being the worst, right?
#Monster’sBallSpoilerAlert
Soooooo….you downvoted me then?

Your avatar is just so fitting.
How do you know I’m NOT your therapist?
<3 you.
Oh my God JINX AGAIN!
Let’s run away together.
For someone who is seemingly above all of this, you sure jumped right the fuck in didn’t you?
Let’s go over this.
You dislike us, you dislike the site, you dislike the opinions and commentary.
But you seem to know all too well what memes and jokes we seemingly overuse. You seem to be well aware that Steve Winwood is the OFFISH Videogum Troll.
You talk mad trash at the people who pulled the same maneuvers you did, calling people bullies, etc.
And the whole time you are the least funny grandmother to ever make her presence felt on this site.
Fuck off and go re-read 1984.
A generous read of this is that you have created a profile and logged on just to post two long comments about how a certain common usage of the word “thing” is unacceptable to you and also that this entire site and all of the users of it are idiots and that these are things that you really believe and are important to you.
A less generous read is that you created a profile and logged on to leave two long and inflammatory comments for the express purpose of hurting people’s feelings, or attempting to hurt people’s feelings, for the sheer pleasure of doing so.
In either instance, a reasoned and polite response doesn’t really matter–you are either mad or an asshole. Nevertheless, out of an abundance of good faith and a generous spirit, may I suggest http://www.youtube.com for your commenting needs?
I don’t want to speak for anyone else, but…
And now, cakeordeath, it is I who love you.
That’s your grandma.
I liked Hipster Dad better.
I think Hipster Dad is waaaay cooler
Grammy, I want a cookie. Get off the internets and bring me my blanky.
LOVE. YOUR. AVATAR.
“Probably because this these people are homophobic and won’t let a grandmother voice her opinions.”
“You’re probably gay and Keri Russell is an amazing actress.”
If anything your arguments make TOO MUCH SENSE.
First of all, you’re all being perfectly reasonable! I was simply trying to troll a thread on the internet, but apparently all you gummers are interested in is calling into a poor little orphan girl’s beliefs. WITHOUT GIVING HER ANY CHANCE TO KEEP TROLLING MYSELF. Himself. You guys.
1. If you weren’t all such idiot losers, you would realize what a kind and selfless poor little orphan girl I was being. Wow, you guys are all kinds of retarded.
2. American Patriot, your comment was dumb, and mine was way longer. Why did you get all the upvotes? Probably because this these people are so racist and can’t let me call out some dumb fuck in peace, because they hate women.
3. Steve Winwood, I don’t want to be associated with you, but I am sure as hell trying pretty hard = nuff said.
4. cakeordeath, I don’t even know what that gif is from, but you’re probably 5’3″ and your parents are Catholic, and Sarah Michelle Gellar is an amazing actress.
5. fourisfive, you are old and trying to make that sound like a good thing. I hope you enjoy being such a decrepit grandmother – have a good life (what’s left of it)
6. Baby Friday who do you think you are! My barber? Sooo fake and gay.
7. teacherman, will you help me find my monistat?
I’m upset you didn’t call me out for over usage of the “you mad” meme.
Liz: how DARE you use that .jpg?! Don’t you know I’m a grandmother??? LOVE ME!!
#virtualrealitygum
YOU MAD
Oh, man, you guys, this whole thread is wildly entertaining, AND my LOLk is set for the rest of the year. Thanks, fourisfive.
This made me love videogum more than ever.
How were you able to both accuse people of being gay in a condescending manner, while also accusing them of being homophobic? Keep fucking that chicken (i.e. continue being crazy), grandma.
I’ll take as many instances of Miss Thing use as I can get.,
It’s “the ERR of your ways” BTW
Did anybody else find themselves getting choked up at all the Temple Grandin stuff? I think my heart grew a size last night.
Is it just me, or was half the show dedicated to handing out awards to the same batch of five miniseries and HBO productions?
1. I now have clarity in my career path. All I need to do is get a biopic on HBO produced. Awards be fallin’ from heaven! I’ll get all of the awards as long as I’m the only biopic competing that year (good job last year Grey Gardens… ya learnt yur lesson You Don’t Know Jack).
2. The Temple Grandin story is pretty rad, she’s an amazing lady: Feb 5th Fresh Air Interview
I got choked up when Jesse won for Breaking Bad and he thanked that Bryan Cranston fella and the camera cut to his face. What a great show
Ricky Gervais looked hot. No Pilko.
I think we’ve reached a new low when an awards show wins an award at an awards show.
Clare Dane’s face?
Full Face-tard
Matthew Weinermobile was Jon Cryer-style robbed of the Smuggest Bitch in the World prize after airing his awards episode opposite the Emmies while also winning all of the Emmies.
