Post by: IDE on Jul 28, 2006, 03:55:16 PM: Have any of you seen this show (http://www.whowantstobeasuperhero.tv/) yet? It's hilarious and hosted by Stan Lee.

Post by: Sam on Jul 28, 2006, 04:39:53 PM: I would like the ability to teleport. However, I'd have no plans to use that ability to help humanity. I'd use it to save gasoline, stress, and time to eliminate my commute to work and whenever I move.

Post by: B E C K on Jul 28, 2006, 10:18:12 PM: I caught the tail-end of an ep that came out today. Monkey Woman is indeed hot. I can't believe that Nitro G guy or whatever changed out in the open.

Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Extra Zero on Jul 30, 2006, 06:48:28 PM: I applied to be on the show. Too bad no one thought "The Incredible Couch-Nigger" was a TV-friendly name... I just wanted to hear Stan Lee say it just once!
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Wickedly Yours E on Jul 30, 2006, 08:37:03 PM: Teleportation, Super Speed, or Flight. Would save a shit load of money.
Think about it. How much Money do people like Green Lantern, SUperman, Flash...Even Wonder Woman, Save by NOT having a car?
1) No car payments!
2) No insurance!
3) No gas!)
4) No maintenance when the bastard breaks down!

Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Jul 30, 2006, 11:59:03 PM: I got to see a repeat of this episode. Man-Faye was on, with the powet of his hairy ass or somethin'. :lol:

I thought the first elimination would've been funnier this way:

Stan Lee -- "Creature, you flirt with every man here. Iron Enforcer, you are a triggy-happy kill machine. Levity, you are gay, therefore you must go."
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Rama on Jul 31, 2006, 06:28:54 AM: I tired to watch this yesterday morning, but when Iron Enforcer told the limo to "Begone!" , I couldn't change the channel fast enough.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Merla on Jul 31, 2006, 03:35:37 PM: I second the hotness of Monkey Woman. Too bad none of the guys are hot.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: IDE on Jul 31, 2006, 03:49:27 PM: Monkey woman is hot but her true super powet is kissing stan lee's ass.

Dude! Come on, that was funny, man. And then he talked about killing people with his fake arm ray thingy. And all I could think about was "Would this be IDE if he were on the show?"

Post by: IDE on Jul 31, 2006, 10:24:18 PM: I would never have used that crappy gun as my gimmick.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Jul 31, 2006, 11:43:49 PM: I know, and you would've been less gay, too. I didn't see that guy look at one chick there. I'm ashamed I thought of it.

Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: IDE on Aug 01, 2006, 01:05:35 AM: I actually read a few of their character bios and I think at least 3 had "shoots fire balls" as one of their powers.

Only one that got me to chuckle a few times was Major Victory.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 01, 2006, 04:53:16 PM: You should've seen him saving the little girl. He spent the first few minutes skipping around and then he sees her and is all yelling "WHERE is this girl's mother!!!?" Then he's about to escort her to Security and then stops and tells her to climb into his arms. He's a riot.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Rama on Aug 01, 2006, 05:22:01 PM: I may give the show a 2nd chance.... but I'm not really a fan of reality TV. I do hope Victory wins though, just given what he is up against.

Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 02, 2006, 01:00:32 AM: If I were guy, Lemuria would leave it soft. The Cell Phone girl can skip around if she likes.

No...we got the DISH before that was part of the deal and they want a shitload to install it now. Same reason we still only have one box, yet have 3 TVs. They want an extra 90 bucks per box to come out and put them in. It would actually be cheaper to cancel the service and then reaquire it and get the 4 boxes and DVR.

Post by: B E C K on Aug 02, 2006, 06:11:10 PM: That sucks. VCR? It's DVR old-skool!
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Rama on Aug 03, 2006, 10:01:12 AM: Yeah..but it's intergrated into my Home Theater set up with my Bigscreen (took me three freaking years to get that thing.) and that's one of the TVs that doesn't have a cable box.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 04, 2006, 02:14:51 AM: Holy crap! IDE became a super villain! M. Night Shyamamasdljwl// What a tweeest! //M. Night Whatchamacallit

Another plus, more than one elimination per week. This is the kinda pace I like to see.

Post by: Wickedly Yours E on Aug 04, 2006, 08:46:42 AM: "IN Brightest day, in Blackest night, No Evil Shall escape my Sight, Let those who worship evil's might, beware my powet, Green Lantern's Light."

..I wish I had cable sometimes. This show? Doesn't make me want Cable.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 05, 2006, 03:23:42 AM: You don't need cable for this show, you have us.

Kudos to Monkey Woman for not giving up. The other chicks... I'm sorely disappointed. That's not representin'!
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Rama on Aug 05, 2006, 07:58:19 AM: Well I watched a rerun of this yesterday morning and I kinda got into it. I'm glad Iron Enforcer is gone. And I don't see what you guys see in Monkey Woman. I still think Major Victory is going to win this.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Wickedly Yours E on Aug 05, 2006, 08:29:17 AM: Major Victory is a decent name....Sounds like a Captain America rip off though...
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 05, 2006, 08:44:46 AM: She's cute and has a nice little body, mad tree skillz, and a monkey screech. And she carries a stick! She don't need nuthin' else!
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Rama on Aug 06, 2006, 12:21:58 AM: Well that's good considering she doesn't have anything else....which is about 3 more things then Creature has.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 06, 2006, 01:28:54 AM: Creature has a bitty skirt and neat eyeshadow. But apparently, she don't wash her hair. Oh girrrrrrrrrrrrrl! Oh girl.

Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 11, 2006, 12:06:03 AM: MONKEY WOMANNNNNNNNNNN!!! Stan took away my Monkey Woman! So she's an actress! You can't put food on the table simply saving lives. NO!! NOOOOOOO!!!

And Tyveculas left too but brother had it coming. He was dissing Lumeria! Fat Mooma, I mean Momma, needs to go. Stop feeding everyone those gross donuts on your belt, woman.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Rama on Aug 11, 2006, 08:39:22 AM: Can't say I am sad so see Monkey Woman go..but I had Tyveculas as one of my last four, that throws things off a bit.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 11, 2006, 09:21:30 PM: I had that guy down as a bit of a bonehead. Lies to Stan about liking the costume, not only gives his name but whips out his driver's liscense, etc. I just didn't like him. His time was nigh. I don't think I had a final four, but my final two are Feedback and Major Victory.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Rama on Aug 12, 2006, 12:12:39 AM: They both made my Finals as well, with Tyveculas and Lumeria, but If I had to pick a final two it would Victory and Lumeria, with Victory taking the prize. But I thought Creature would be gone before Monkey Woman, Unless she got booted as well. I havn't seen the latest episode yet.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 12, 2006, 12:55:48 AM: I thought that was the last episode.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Karmarose on Aug 12, 2006, 01:36:47 PM: wait, what? Monkey Woman got booted? @.x *Missed an ep and got lost* I hope for Creature's eventual booting, she's useless. -.-

I do like Lemuria, but I'm hoping Major Victory wins ^-^v
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Nuriko on Aug 12, 2006, 11:20:44 PM: They had a challenge where they had to pick up lunch and each time the server would ask them their real name. Ty actually presented a driver's license. Feedback and Big Momma passed, giving out nothing but their superhero name. Everyone else failed. Monkey Woman not only gave her name, but introduced herself as "Monkey Woman aka Mary", not even being prompted for her real name. The staffer there asked her if she was on a tv show (she said "yes") and how someone gets on a show. Monkey Woman, being very friendly, gave him advice on being an actor and a list of websites. Stan got on her saying "Didn't you tell me you were a real estate agent?" and asked her if she was actress to which she said "yes". He said the show shouldn't be a stepping stone to being a actress and booted her cute monkey ass.

Later on, there was a challenge where Stan asked them to pick who should go home. Creature runs up and dramatically says she should go. Everyone else takes her lead except for Ty. Ty has an obvious chip on his shoulder about Lemuria, talking about how she shouldn't risk her life and toy with her fear of heights for a tv show. Fat Ass Momma then does a similar deal to Feedback, feigning concern for his safety. Stan says it was a self-sacrifice test and they both failed. He feels Momma was doing it more out of a place of concern than Ty. Ty leaves. Major Victory, Feedback, and Momma go hug him, with Momma crying. Lumeria and Creature stay absolutely still with these "hell no I ain't hugging his jerkass". Hilarious, especially since Lumeria was right next to the hug-fest. All she had to do was step down off of her cube.

Fat Momma then gets pissy about how everyone else did the challenge insincerely, while she and Ty were being honest. She's still teary-eyed and bitchy. Major says some nice words about Ty. Lemuria is getting annoyed with FM and diaries to the camera that she was just playing it smart. Fat Momma is ready to take the competition out as "payback" for Tyveculus. (FTW?) Crazy biz-nitch.

I didn't know. I've never seen this show on its regular night and time so I don't know how far behind I am. I'm sure Sci-Fi will show a Marathon before the finally (Sci-Fi loves them some marathons.) ....Guess I'll get caught up then.

Post by: IDE on Aug 17, 2006, 06:02:11 PM: Dark Enforcer!? *sigh* If I'm still a bouncer at that age I'd hope someone would have the decency to shoot me in the head with my own giant cardboard gun.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Karmarose on Aug 17, 2006, 08:11:21 PM: I thought it was Iron Enforcer...and maybe he should've wore deoderant. :P

Ooh! And it's on now! Yayness!
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: IDE on Aug 17, 2006, 08:19:09 PM: Well you know it's Dark Enforcer now. They're retrieving the trash can as I type this.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Karmarose on Aug 17, 2006, 08:22:05 PM: Ohhhh, okay, I get it! ^-^

WEAK!

Creature got tossed out, yay!

But sadly, Lemuria had been tossed out too. ;.; It was between her and Major Victory. I liked her, she was cute...

Down to: Fat Momma, Feedback and my pick: Major Victory ^-^
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Rama on Aug 18, 2006, 12:22:06 AM: Yeah.... Major Victory for the win. And I too was also very glad to see Creature go. I'm surprised she lasted as long as she did, but I can't believe Fat Momma survived while Lemuria had to go. Super lame.

But you know I hated Iron Enforcer the hero...but I'm loving Dark Enforcer the villain. He really does much better in that role.

Ha ha ha! Oh, snap!

Boo, no more hot chicks to look at. At least I can still look at Major Victory and Feedback. Merla has the Major pinned, too. She says Feedback looks too much like a sissy. Bet Stan's thinking "oh crap, this guy's cah-raaaaazy!"
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: IDE on Aug 18, 2006, 03:05:53 AM: Crazy enough to win maybe? I wonder if that "spiderman taught me how to be a man" crap was actually heart felt or a complete ruse. Cause it seemed like genuine fan boy insanity to me.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 18, 2006, 03:12:09 AM: As it did to me. Thoughts of Fat Momma talking about Feedback's emotional stability came flooding back. Maybe this is what she meant. Just the same, Fat Momma CAN. NOT. WIN. Just no. Forget the weight thing, I just don't like the holier-than-thou "I'ma gonna win wit troof and do-nuts!" 'tude she's got going.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Karmarose on Aug 18, 2006, 11:10:04 AM: Agreed; she reeealy shouldn't win. I don't like Feedback either, he just annoys me.
*waves a little red MV flag*
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: Rama on Aug 18, 2006, 01:42:02 PM: I don’t think sincerity is one of the superhero traits anyone on this show has. It’s been replaced with kissing Stan’s ass. Feedback was just trying to one up Victory with that Spider-Man stuff. I mean I didn’t have a dad and I loved Spider-Man when I was a kid, but I’d never say stuff like that and start bawling unless I wanted to win and thought it would help me.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: IDE on Aug 18, 2006, 02:19:29 PM: I wonder if Dark Enforcer will be in the movie
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 18, 2006, 05:39:56 PM: I was curious about that, too. He's just the type of hokey villain you'd find on Sci-Fi, too.

But yeah, Fat Momma needs to get her head out of her ass. It's about teh win. I have a hard time seeing how Spider-Man taught anyone to be a man but whatever.

Is the fact that Stipperella's pic is always behind Stan a sign that Major V will win?
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: IDE on Aug 18, 2006, 06:28:31 PM: If Major Victory had picked up on stripperella's pic and made some witty comment that one upped stan there should've been an automatic elimination of the other 2 contestants.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 18, 2006, 07:19:14 PM: Stan: I'm afraid I'll have to eliminate you both.
Feedback: *sob* Daddy, NO!!!
Fat Momma: *CHOMP!* [eats Feedback]
Major Victory: [does pelvic stripper move to pulsating techno music]

But Superheros respect their elders and that wouldn't be respecting Stan...and then Victory would be gone and Fat Momma would win. Do you really want that?

Title: Who wants to be a superhero?

Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 27, 2006, 11:54:02 AM: I can't believe he got sent home after Fat Momma spent all of forty minutes stuffing her face! Merla was all "Now I have to root for that pussy Feedback!" Even the whole "phone in who you think will go home" was relatively certain MV would stay. He only had 15% of the votes. When those kids chose Fat Momma I was like "NO!! No, you stupid kids!!" Feedback only had two. Ha ha.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: IDE on Aug 27, 2006, 11:33:57 PM: yeah i'm with merls on the whole hating to have to root for feedback thing...though part of me wants to see how horribly bad a fat momma movie would be.
Title: Who wants to be a superhero?
Post by: B E C K on Aug 28, 2006, 04:32:39 PM: Half of it would be eating. Where as half of Feedback's would be crying. Half of Major Victory's would've been stripping. Goddammit.
