I guess it would be boring to someone who wasn't able to understand the mostly obscure (to the typical slob) references that were the gist of the jokes on the program.

I don't like that big smiling con artist....didn't like him the first time I saw him

Yeah, you're totally right! Why, if I weren't so smart, I'd never be able to understand all the hilarious obscure references in this clip.

Ooh, that joke about merging! My sides are splitting! And the one about 3M! I'm gonna plotz!

boring and insipid

yes indeed... way to deep for me...it would take an intellectual Obama disciple to truly grasp such cutting edge humour...

Oh....it's one of those "if you don't like the show, or don't find it funny, you're just not smart enough to understand" type of shows. Is this an Obama thing?

I'm sure Mystery Science Theatre has a devoted core of viewers who might think that its hosts are households names and faces for anyone who marginally keeps up with popular culture. Doesn't make it true, though. and fascinating and funny to one may be boring and insipid to another - doesn't make anyone any more or less hip - just different strokes.

No, it's a Roxxxanne thing.

Count me nonplussed that one stupid Roxxxanne post can have both you and BPB make generalisations about what Obama supporters are like, but that a dozen reasonable Sozobe, FreeDuck or Engineer posts never seem to be taken to mean anything about Obama supporters.

I think you two just have a preconception about Obama supporters that you will accept any slightest illustration of as evidence, while you'll instinctively dismiss any volume of counterexamples immediately. Fine, but then the observation says nothing about anything except your own predisposition.

I mean, come on, once you're describing Roxxxanne as representative example of anything, you're out on a limb, right?

LOL You had to pull up a YOUTUBE clip to try to find out what the show is about and then you judge it based upon ONE CLIP. The fact is that many of the quips were very obscure and anyone familiar with the show would never dispute this. I just can't understand why people wear ignorance as a Badge of Courage.

Like your POV is representative of anything?

oh for God's sake calm down... it was a jokey remark directed at the poster...

Yeah but Bear, you do this all the effin time tho... and then on unrelated threads you go on this tears about how "Obama supporters" in general are arrogant smug so-and-so's... I mean, come on already.
