Happy Endings Took Shots at LeBron James and Chris Bosh Last Night

All, NBA, Television, Video Stephen Douglas October 24th. 2012, 5:03pm

Happy Endings returned last night (yay!) and they did what a show set in Chicago should do – take shots at LeBron James. This time, Jane discredited LeBron James first championship since it took place in an injury-prone, strike-shortened season. That’s nothing compared to what happened to Chris Bosh though.

Also, a physical therapist was asked to dress up in a Jim McMahon jersey. If you’re keeping score at home, Happy Endings also took a shot at LBJ last season.

Not a fan of Diablo Cody or Aaron Sorkin I see.

In the spirit of Derrick Rose, the people who read the jokes definitely didn’t write them.

I have a hard time believing any network TV show could be worth watching at all, with the exception of sports.

It’s just people spouting zingers at each other. There’s no pathos or soul to it. No room to breathe. Turns actors into line reading robots.

If it’s not a civil war reenactment Ty Duffy sees no need for this rabble rousing on his picture box.

I’ll be honest and say I lost it at the Chris Bosh line, as much for how completely unexpected it was as anything. Show is pretty funny in general, though.

Since most people have not heard of Happy Endings, and everyone knows who Lebron is, I think Lebron wins this one.

I’m fucking sorry did someone just put the words “elaborately crafted” next to Diablo Cody’s name? Have you listened to the dialog in Juno?

The criticism of both Cody and Sorkin is that they write dialogue that is far more fast-paced than the manner in which normal people speak and is too clever for its own good. I wasn’t bringing up Diablo Cody as a means to praise her.

That’s pretty much the operation of The League. They make it work very well for the most part and you don’t get the stilted awkward conversation seen in the video. I’ve heard good things about this show, maybe just an off episode.

if we’re being honest, i dont even know what they were saying because by then i was so deep into thinking of what kind of panties she wears i missed something and it was out of context, so i didnt get the humor.

I haven’t heard Cody try to defend her style of writing dialogue but Sorkin does. He acknowledges that no one actually speaks the way he writes but he says that is immaterial as he is trying to create a mood with how he writes and movies/television shouldn’t necessarily try to recreate everyday life…blah blah blah.

White people used to fucking love Sorkin, and then Mad Men came along and they found another source of boring pretentious bullshit to latch onto and the backlash began.

sorkin sounds like a real asshole.
He is. In season 1 of the West Wing he cowrote an episode about a homeless vet who dies on Christmas Eve. The other writer came up with the idea because his father was a vet who, for a time, was also homeless. Sorkin then went on some online forum and claim full credit for the entire episode and said he only gave a cowriting credit to the other writer as a courtesy. He later recanted but you can see what kind of a dick he is.
I still like West Wing season 1-3 though.

Though half the things he mentions are my favorite things.
Also Exile on Main Street is NOT the Stones best album, but that’s just because Beggar’s Banquet and Their Satanic Majesties Request are better all around.

and still, not the biggest assholish thing ive heard all day…
i know this chick who played golf in college, who just moved back to the cleve from florida like in may or something. back in FL she was dating this guy for a year, he asks her to move in with him…so her rents fly down, move her in and 3 weeks later, he’s in the shower and his phone won’t stop buzzing, so she picks it up to mute it…
turns out he was cheating on her the whole time they were dating. and when her mom and friend went to the house to move her stuff out when he was out of town, they found the master bathroom floor littered with used condoms/wrappers.
worst part is, this dude even had her fam fooled. she invited him to her bro’s wedding and he said he wouldnt until he met the parents first, so he flew up a month before.
i have no idea how she couldve been so cheery this summer so soon after. mindblowing.
