If it hadn't been for Coffin Joe, I'd been married a long time ago.

The first three things I associate with Brazil:

Coffin Joe
Xuxa
Star Wars


Old_Zircon - 2015-11-08

Like, even before the obvious stuff like Caetano Veloso.

Coffin Joe

asses n thongs

No Rachel Bloom? Not interested.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2015-11-08

Are you sure? It's got boobies!

The ending has always intrigued me. What it looks like is that some censors required a "moral" ending, so Marins deliberately tacked on the most ridiculously obvious ending, so that the viewers knew how it was supposed to end. There are other explanations, I suppose.

I prefer my Coffin Joe the same way I prefer my men, and my women: in black, and white.

While we're on the subject: this submission could use a "tulpa" tag.

Also, re: the ending. What are the other explanations? Please describe them to me.


Doc Victor - 2015-11-08

Give it a rest, Homer.

Five for a very solid submission, JH. How you can be keyed into this shit one minute and go slightly bonkers over the other stuff you put on here the next is beyond me.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2015-11-09

Let's explore this mystery together, shall we?


>>John, I think what tends to get people's ire up is the fact that you seem to be deliberately obfuscating your motive. I admit to liking Jewy girls with big tits, but this video is pretty bad, or maybe I just can't relate. The Ray Bradbury thing got a chuckle, but clearly this chick's greatest strength is that she's cute.
Now if you just said "aw shucks I got an internet crush on Rachel Bloom" I don't think anyone would care. It's something about the fact that you have a very elaborate way of describing the greater significance of internet videos about sorta-cute girls, all while vehemently denying your interest (or obsession) is at all salacious, that really raises some questions and makes you seem somewhat unsavory. It's almost like you're trying to convince yourself...?

What really pissed me off about this is that, when you posted this, I had already admitted that, sure, I'd fuck Rachel Bloom, and i found the confession to be sort of humiliating. In my heart of hearts, I'm not sure I wouldn't need a viagra.

At 57, i can look at an attractive young woman on the media and not think about my dick, and that's WONDERFUL, especially since feminism has become the social issue of the day. The reverse of that is that if I look at an attractive young woman and I DO think about my dick, it's sort of sad. It's going to get sadder because, as much as I actually love being 57., I don't get to stay here. This is a touchy subject for me, and the fact that this is touchy means it keeps coming up.

When I was 23, and totally immersed in Iggy and the Sex Pistols, I woudn't have been inclined to care much for a for an artist like Rachel Bloom, who's oriented toward the musical theater. I didn't like Sinatra until I was 40. If you don't like Rachel Bloom, that's fine. If you want to engage me, I'll tell you why i disagree. If you want to troll me with abusive comments, you will find me to be very much full of FUCK YOU. I don't know what part of this is supposed to be bonkers.

Rachel Bloom has become a surrogate in a discussion of whether or not I've been lying about my sexuality, and as absurd as that is, I couldn't ask for a better surrogate. I'm going to win this one. Rachel Bloom is blowing up. If you watch CrazyExGirlfriend enough to figure out how it works, what's going to impress you most about Rachel Bloom is that SHE WRITES THE SHOW. The buzz on the internet (professional journalists and fans) is huge and building. The terrible ratings are picking up. When it happens, you won't be able to get away from it, and you will remember me telling you this.

Or at least that's what I'm betting. If I lose, I lose little. If I win, it'll be pretty sweet. Plus, it really is a great show. There are a whole lot of people on Twitter who are carrying on just like me. Lena Dunham tweeted that CrazyExGirlfriend is "TV so good, I died of joy and became a ghost!"
.
Yeah, I don't know what that means, either.


EvilHomer - 2015-11-09

Counterpoint, Doc Victor: there ^.

Mr Holmes is my friend. He is a man of great passions and convictions, but he can't always find the time, or audience, with which to share his completely unironic love for Jewish girls. If I can facilitate this great work of his, then I am happy to do so; for his sake, if nothing else.


Doc Victor - 2015-11-09

I sense a certain degree of confusion here, some of it definitely my own. JH, that's all well and good. If anything it should be an indication that your dick still works. Not a source of shame. Anyways, Viagra is great. It's great when you're 20, it's great when you're 30, etc. Why limit yourself in the first place?
It's fine to enjoy something. It's fine to defend it. Flooding the hopper on POETV and not offering a comprehensible explanation (until now) save generic, unanimous praise, when NEARLY EVERY PERSON HERE who has seen her stuff doesn't think it's funny, is going to draw some serious scrutiny. I get now that you may be stumping to find more fans for the show, but you go about it in a way that is centered around your personal feelings, feelings that mean apparently mean nothing to anyone else. There's no critical analysis, just vague allusions to "winning" and "losing" and google links to review compilers. Do you get why this is annoying? Or at least not convincing?
This is the internet. Implication is not well served here. I sense that you are aware of that, but you keep doing the same shit. Nobody "got" Boxxy, nobody "got" Hit Girl, speaking for myself and from what I've seen here, Rachel is easy to "get" but she just isn't compelling to most people. If you keep posting this kind of stuff and not offering an explanation that requires that we first understand and appreciate your emotional reaction to it, I would expect similar levels of clemency from a hungry pack of weasels.
Finally, I would like to add that all of my above criticisms apply in no way to videos like the one on this page. People here "get" Coffin Joe, and are happy to discuss it. This is good stuff, and more in keeping with what people here generally seem to enjoy. I imagine if you rebuilt your image here as kind of a Ghoulardi character (maybe more of an Uncle Fester) it would be appreciated by most if not all.

Finally, I am not your enemy, and Homer is not your friend. He is a troll who likes to use long winded, intelligent sounding discourse and self deprecation to provoke a response from you. Or in this case, a thread hijack on an actually good video.

Seriously, Homer, that was very very lazy. JH even tried to change the subject. Nobody else really wanted this to degenerate into a flame war about something totally unrelated. What pisses me off is that you chose to interject some more of this crap into something that had the potential to go in another direction. This kind of thing has been happening more and more and you are once again at the root of it. It is contributing the worsening quality of a website originally designed to compile the geocities pages of insane people. At least try harder next time.

I've met a lot of horror celebrities, but the one I will always treasure the most was Coffin Joe. Too bad my ex-girlfriend is in the picture. :(
