american_idol_blind_high_five.jpg

(A note about American Idol: this kind of shit is the only American Idol shit we’re going to cover. Meaning: “funny shit.” So if you see something, say something.)

Well American Idol premiered last night, and a pretty cool-seeming blind guy made it to the next level! So Ryan Seacrest forgot he was blind and tried to high-five him (via Vulture):

I like how Ryan tries to save himself by pretending he was talking him through the high five all along. According to the New York Times, this season of Idol is going to have “more hope and less humiliation.” A welcome change, as long as it continues to not apply to Ryan Seacrest. Also, it was cool that they opened the show with the Tragic Events Of May 21, 2008. (Never Forget.)

  1. Maybe he was testing to see if the guy was really blind. It’s more stuble than throwing things at him to see if he ducks.

  2. There is something so Arrested Developmentesque about this moment.

    • HAHAHA
      Yes it does
      Like, Michael with George Michael or something
      Hey, how about they cancel American Idol and bring back Arrested Development?

  3. Yes! More hope for the contestants, more humilation for Seacrest. I have never witnessed a forced high five before this moment. I may have to start grabbing strangers hands and placing them up in the air so I can high five them.

  4. I think the blind guy has to pee. Or maybe he just can’ stand to be around Seacrest.

    The best part was when that chick in the bikini tried to kiss Ryan and he totally was not into it. Right afterwards he looked like he had just been raped and was thinking, “I have to clean myself in this pool! Chlorine will burn the shame off!”

    The best part was when that chick in the bikini tried to kiss Ryan. He was so not into it, and later he looked like he had just been sexually abused, and he was probably thinking “I have to clean myself in this pool! Maybe the chlorine will burn off the shame!”

      And by nice, I mean terrible comment, and by posted it twice, I mean accidentally and you never should have posted it once
