As a follow-up to my previous post on the worst TV shows ever, here’s Wiki’s article on The Worst Films Ever

The Horror of Weddings

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

I have been glued to EtiquetteHell.com for the last couple days after being linked to it in a friend’s wedding invitation.

...What followed was an incredibly tacky performance by a pair of dwarfs or very short people dressed in doll-like bride and groom costumes. Apparently, they’re called the “little people.” It really did not fit into the elegant reception that we had planned…

Heil Tedious Premise, I’m Home

Wikipedia lists TV Shows Cancelled After One Episode

Of most interest (aside from Jackie Gleason’s rant about You’re In The Picture, which everyone who cares about TV already knows about) is the British sitcom misfire Heil Honey! I’m Home, which even the title broadcasts suggests will be no good. Not “contraversial” or “tasteless” but tiresomely unfunny and punch-pulling which, since finding on YouTube, I can confirm—

Two satirical fish in a barrell… Hitler and “old sitcoms” (really not based on any particular sitcom but the platonic dis-ideal of them). Even Mel Brooks’ mining Hitler for laughs became tedious long before 1990 and this is sub-that.

Also the premise is really confusing… is it 1930? 1950? Why are they all American—the funniest thing about Hitler is his stupid shrill German (or accented) voice.

(If you particularly hate yourself, part 2 is here.)

This is only confirming my desire to make my sitcom parody “Hitler’s Pizzeria” (temp title), but I’m so grateful youtube exists so I can find stuff like this.
