"Star Wars Kid" Parody on Arrested Development Last Night

I took some ribbing for having never seen the "Star Wars kid" video before, and linking it as a "new" bit of funniness.

But on Arrested Development last night, the son (George Michael Bluth) was seen in his garage doing the same clumsy light-saber maneuvers with a broom.

So: Was I behind the cultural zeitgeist?

Not at all, mon frers. I am exactly where I have always been: I am the cultural zeitgeist.

So, suck it. Suck it hard, weisenheimers.

Ace, your cluelessness is the reason we love you!
It helps in our dreary meaningless lives to know that somewhere out there is someone who has less of a clue than us, and isn't afraid to advertise it!
Your courage is an inspiration to us all.

I'd laugh my ass off if that show turned out to be a rerun.

Posted by: Drew on March 21, 2005 02:31 PM

Hah. NOT.

Posted by: ace on March 21, 2005 02:32 PM

Did anyone see the show last week when Henry Winkler jumped over the shark on the pier? I haven't heard of anyone else that noticed it.

Arrested Development is the only show I really try to catch every week.

Posted by: Kimmber on March 21, 2005 02:36 PM

Did I completely miss that? I guess I did.

Posted by: ace on March 21, 2005 02:37 PM

Im pretty sure Ace is really TED McGINLEY.

Hes lying about watching Arrested Development too.
I checked TV guide and PBS was running a Lawrence Welk Special opposite AD last week.

Ace would never miss Mr. Welk. He gets chocked up every time hears" Bubbles in the Wine."

Sadly, I don't think "Arrested Development" is going to last out the summer. That show is just too damn good for network TV.

And Ace, FWIW I hadn't seen that light saber thingy before you posted it. But then, I don't chase down these little oddities all that actively. I figure there's time enough for that when I get tired of that dancing baby clip....

Posted by: utron on March 21, 2005 03:24 PM

Yeah, yeah.

The question is, did you watch Deadwood?

All I have to say is, that HAD to hurt.

Thank God I live in the 21st Century. . .

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on March 21, 2005 03:42 PM

God. The only thing I've seen more painful than that was John Delugar's panel-interview on Project Greenlight.

The thing with Swearingen made me wince. The thing with Delugar made me actually leave the room.

Posted by: ace on March 21, 2005 03:43 PM

You're a brave man, Ace. Much more tolerant than I.

I'd like to get you some bourbon. . . and say it's from Kentucky.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on March 21, 2005 04:03 PM

Neal Stephenson gives a very detailed description of the procedure performed on Swearingen in "Quicksilver." The account was so memorably excruciating that I honestly wonder if it didn't inspire the writers for "Deadwood."

Dave is right: being a 21st-century cyberserf is better than being Louis XIV any way you slice it.

Star Wars Kid parody on TV? The Venture Brothers already did it.

Posted by: Sortelli on March 21, 2005 06:06 PM

Here's the video at Waxy.org for those who missed it. The Venture Brothers clip is there too.

Posted by: Nathan on March 21, 2005 07:07 PM

Lemme get this straight...

Ace feel vindicated that a show which features the man who "originally jumped the shark" (Winkler) saw fit to ridicule a video clip that had "jumped the shark"(Star Wars Kid) following an episode in which Winkler symbolically "jumped the shark" (last week).

And this is vindication how?

Posted by: Jack M. on March 21, 2005 08:22 PM

I should think it clear.

Ace is none other than... Rupert Murdoch!!!

Filled with bitterness and hatred for all who mocked him following "StarWarsKidGate"(TM), he ordered his vast right-wing media conspiracy to create a new AD episode vindicating his claim that SWK is "new." In a stroke of malevolent genius on par with the most depraved workings of Karl Rove, Ace forced these spastic gyrations onto the body of a character named George Michael, thus also subverting the campaign for gay rights and ushering America towards a time where all minorities are chained in Turkish dungeons with no hope of rescue from the brave Iraqi Minutemen insurgents.

(The above is funnier if you read it aloud in a Micro-Machines-Guy voice)

Of course, this is all the fault of Zionism. The exact mechanism is an exercise I will leave for the reader.

"Im pretty sure Ace is really TED McGINLEY." In you dreams old guy! You slipped about the "saddle shoes and skirts" and dated yourself. And because you have not responded to my offer to split the crazy blog money for my silence: I am going to out you to the world and reveal that there is really only one reader on earth who reads this blog, (ME!) and that the "ACE" writes in all the responses himself to scam sponsors. Now what do you say "ACE" huh? Huh?

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on March 22, 2005 12:53 PM

PS - "ACE" change the Dusty model, she looks like my ex-wife the Dirty Pretty Thing.

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on March 22, 2005 01:00 PM

Wait. If 72 Virgins is the only true reader of this blog, that means that since I'm writing this, and I'm not 72 Virgins, I must be ACE! Oh the possibilities are endless.
But wait, if I'm Ace, that means I DID Blossom. EWWWWW! The nose thing is kinky but EWWWWW!. I mean Six was ok, but you could shelter villagers from Tsunami's under that schnoz.
No, 72 Virgins, everybody may have more sex than me, but I'm not desperate enough for that. So I think your theory is wrong. Sorry.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
