I meant to post this awhile back, but I left for Nicaragua the day after it aired so whatever. It’s pretty awesome.
It all started when Serious Lunch made the allegation that Conan O’Brien’s new backdrop was inspired by Super Mario Bros. It was then picked up by Gizmodo (where I saw it) and eventually, within hours, made it’s way to The Tonight Show.
This. Is. Awesome.
Was it done on purpose or is Conan’s backdrop one massive coincidence? You be the judge.
Update 2: Finally, the video has been found and added at the bottom.
Update: Thanks to TV Squad for taking my tip. I’m still looking for the video.
I’m watching the Magic game and at halftime there is a new version of the ABC House commercials they’ve been running (which are brilliant by the way) and it shows Dominic Monaghan, Charlie from LOST, playing foosball with Courtney Cox, who has a new show this fall. At one point in the commercial someone says to Monaghan “Aren’t you dead?” to which he replies “I was.” After seeing the video again, I realize that my recollection was slightly off. Towards the end Patrick Dempsey, challenging Dominic Monaghan, says “you’re so dead” to which Monaghan replies “actually, I was.”
Ok, what?
We all watched Charlie drown at the end of season three. It was horrible. He sacrificed himself to destroy the Looking Glass so the Freighter could be contacted. But what’s with this tease? “I was.” Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof have been critical of ABC for creating LOST promotions and commercials in the past that tend to offer more information then they like, could this be an example?
We’re at the beginning of nine very long months before the final season of LOST begins and almost zero hints were dropped in the finale as to what could potentially happen. But Charlie coming back? It would explain why Hurley has been carrying around the guitar case since returning to the Island. Does that mean setting off the bomb really did reset things? Oh man this is going to drive me nuts.
It was a day like any other — the sun was shining and the birds were chirping. But soon a monstrosity was about to be placed on a table in front of myself and four other people. A monstrosity that we would eventually devour in a diabetes-inducing rage. The abomination that which I speak? The Kitchen Sink
This behemoth is made up of eight scoops of ice cream, every topping in the house and “a whole can of whipped cream.” Yes, a whole can. It’s a gluttons dream and a parent’s nightmare but on that day it was our treasure, our triumph, our mountain to conquer. And conquer we did.
You, too, can attempt to tackle this lactose nightmare if you ever visit the Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World. Find Beaches and Cream and prepare yourself for the fury that will soon be unleashed.
Want to know what bounty lies inside the silver sink’s belly? Watch this video:
If you didn’t watch Conan begin his new gig on The Tonight Show last night then shame on you. I’ve watched the “cold open” a few times now and have included it below for your viewing enjoyment. It’s classic.
