"A guilty--but hilarious--pleasure!"
date: July 15, 2000
Big Gays, I have to hand it to you. I was fully prepared to hate this short when I read the introductory paragraphs because I thought you were going to make fun of someone who might not deserve it.
BOY WAS I WRONG!! As soon as I saw Lum's unfortunate visage on the screen, I recognized him as the same sad loser we have all seen: 1) sitting in the public library with a dog-eared copy of "ElfQuest Module #978"; 2) hanging around outside the comic shop trying to get someone to play a role-playing game he invented; 3)standing around IN the comic shop touching all the stuff and whining about how the owner doesn't give him a good enough "bulk discount"; 4) in line in front of you at the Mickey D's ordering 6 Big Macs, 4 large fries, and a Diet Coke; 5) ignoring all attempts to get rid of him. In short, Lum is someone we all know & pity. Laughing at him in the privacy of our own homes is a guilty--but hilarious--pleasure. Good work, Big Gays! Loved the Fat Bastard song and the Dancing Idiot. Also, loved the Jimmy Hoffa head...but where's the rest of the poor guy???
