Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 19, 2023

And throw things at the TV during the news.

Yeah, I kept my old CRT TV too heavy to move but it’s unbreakable.

CRT= Cathode Ray Tube. All the acronyms and words are twisted now.

Now get off my lawn!

Not go in there. The fiendish fox is waiting for you inside chicken barn!

I also talk back to the radio ;-)

I do NOT talk back to the TV. I do voiceovers and commentary. SO much fun turning a rerun of a cop show like Walker: Texas Ranger into a comedy.

Why not? Everything else is interactive!

Or when you talk to the self checkout machine

Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn’t.

Talking to the tv characters never helps. It’s like they can’t hear you.

I thought she meant.. Don’t go into the Bathroom…

Only comments that I make to the TV are while watching reruns of ‘Match Game’. Trying to decide the best response to what the contestants say and comparing to the six panelists ! ! !

I love cornball humor. As some above have mentioned they do, I turn the TV volume off and do the voices myself. My son and I enjoy doing it together (I skewed his sense of humor early on.) “Whose Line Is It, Anyway” does this stunt occasionally, and I get out of breath laughing. I first enjoyed this type of thing with the early ‘60s TV show, “Fractured Flickers,” that tickled my third-grader funny bone (and maybe sprained it permanently):

Oooohhhh,yeah! I’m particularly vocal on Judge Judy,Tribunal Justice & jeopardy! My sister says I have problems but I say I CAN’T STAND STOOPID! It’s just as simple as that…..;-)

I only yell at the dummies on Wheel of Fortune!

I used to love Mad Movies. They took old films and lipsynched funny dialog to them.

uh… how come no one in the comics has an up-to-date TV?

We have episodes of some shows (lots of Law & Order SVU among others) memorized and have been known to quote along with them, and add commentary. Also certain movies, particularly “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “The Ten Commandments.”

Joshua: Did He speak to you as a man?

Moses: No, he spoke to me as a BUSH; weren’t you listening?!
