"My Sex Junk" -- Nominated for an Emmy, y'all!

[Dan Druff]

"Bill Nye Saves the World" is a fairly new series on Netflix, which appeared in April on Netflix. They dropped Season 1 (13 episodes) in April, and amazingly it's been renewed for a second season.

It has been poorly reviewed by most critics. From what little I've seen of it, the show looks absolutely terrible, and that's putting aside my personal dislike for Bill Nye.

The show got some attention on the internet upon its release, when people came upon this super-cringeworthy musical number in Episode 9, featuring the otherwise-talented Rachel Bloom:




So.... this is really, really, really bad. Bill Nye makes it look even more ridiculous by pretending to DJ on a turntable which they didn't even bother to plug-in for appearance sake, but that's obviously the least of the problems here.

Some Nye defenders tried to insist that the video was some form of parody or intentional self-effacing absurdity, but that's simply not true.

It really was meant to be an edgy number where Rachel Bloom was meant to shock you by singing about sexual and gender fluidity, with the message that it's always okay to be freaky and to like what you like. It even featured a "conservative" character (played by the Indian guy with glasses), who shows up wearing a pocket protector and scolding Bloom for her sexual openness, only to quickly change his mind when she calls him "home slice" and tells him that it's okay that he's into masturbating on Skype to someone dressed up as a clown.

Seriously.

Like, this was really, really, really mind-bogglingly bad, and you can tell that the studio audience was baffled by it.

Bloom's fans were highly disappointed in this segment, as she did some excellent work on "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", and is generally beloved by nearly everyone. This was the first awful thing she's ever put out, and people wonder why she got involved.

A clip of this was posted to YouTube in April, and proceeded to get something like a 25:1 dislike-to-like ratio. (It has since been deleted and re-uploaded recently.)

But the reason I didn't post this in April was because bad TV is nothing new, and I didn't think was worth sharing.

I'm posting it now because this episode of Nye's horrible show was actually nominated for an Emmy!

Can you believe this? Actually, I can, because the Emmys have become less and less about good television, and more about either making political/social statements or honoring those who do.

And the left wonders why they didn't connect with voters this past November, despite all of Hollywood's vocal support...

Bill Nye says so many stupid things that he actually managed to get owned in a response video by two otherwise unfunny Christian guys:

[sonatine]

what a suspicious coincidence; the alt-right's irrational hatred of bill nye sounds exactly like this thread. like note for note.


you should sue druff, clearly larceny is the only plausible explanation.

So what is your argument here?

That this isn't mind-bogglingly awful, and that it totally deserved an Emmy nomination, and its nomination had nothing to do with politics?

Does one become alt-right nowadays simply by pointing out laughable behavior from the left?

[sonatine]

Sorry, are calling Bill Nye 'the left', a performance art piece about vaginas 'the left', or anything that advocates science over what the courts would generously refer to as perjury 'the left'?

Bill Nye is indeed "the left" these days, as he's moved on from talking about actual science and now rants about social issues dressed up as science.

The performance piece about vaginas became relevant when the notoriously left-wing Hollywood establishment nominated the episode for an Emmy, presumably as a nod to Nye's attempt to push the now-trendy sexual/gender spectrum agenda.

Basically the Emmys are saying that you will get nominated if you cover a subject they like, even if you do it embarrassingly badly.

What a novel perspective.




Oh wait...

Besides misspeaking and implying that the Bible was written 5000 years ago versus 3000, what specific points do those unfunny Christian guys "own" Bill Nye in that video. Because I mostly saw them mischaracterize what Nye said to put up strawmen in order to knock them down. But perhaps I missed where they owned him given their rhetorical style. I await your clarifications on this matter.

I don't recall claiming to be the first person on the internet to discuss this.

Here's another brilliant clip from the same episode:




Actually starts off okay. The "vanilla ice cream" character starts off attempting to convert the other flavors to vanilla, in an obvious allegory to straight conversion therapy.

The video makes the point, albeit too bluntly, that everyone has their own tastes and preferences, and that "vanilla" (presumably cisgendered heterosexual monogamy) is not for everyone.

Okay, fine. I can get on board with that.

However, the second half involves the other ice cream flavors pressuring and eventually converting "vanilla" into taking part in some kind of bisexual orgy.

The message?

Pressuring gays, bisexuals, and other alternative sexualities to be straight is wrong, but pressuring straights to be gay/bisexual is totally cool, and in fact all straight people are just repressed bisexuals.

Great job. Outstanding writing, just like the Emmy nomination says.

After Kathy Griffin got an emmy, the award lost all its ora for me. And yes this was before she beheaded President Trump.

And the left wonders why they didn't connect with voters this past November, despite all of Hollywood's vocal support...

Hollyweird tries to claim the moralistic and socialist high ground on society.. They think because they live in Cali they are progressive.. Small problem the issue of Hollywood's penitent for pedophilia is no secret anymore.. While the facts of Pizza gate might be skewed and incorrect too many former child actors have come out stating the sheer magnitude of pedophilia in Hollywood is insane. The fact Hollywood has a connection with the liberal powerhouse of politicians in DC shouldn't surprise anybody.. They need those connections to keep Sessions and the FBI off their asses for human trafficking among other things.. Hollywood is up in arms because they literally fear Trump is going to bring the whole sideshow down on their heads and expose the filthy underbelly of Hollywood and its power brokers..

Of course the ultimate irony is these rich fuckstains in Hollywood scream about Trump building his wall and wanting to vet people entering the country yet these hypocritical asses live in gated communities with walls around them and armed security in nearly every case and I don't see them with their doors open to welcome in goatfuckers from Syria and other known terrorist breeding grounds to their homes.. When Hollywood wants to live up to the demands they expect the rest of America to follow then maybe we can talk.. (That phony Zuckerberg from Facebook is the worst.. Asshole has a massive wall around his whole compound and even bought up property to build said wall.. Got to love left wing hypocrisy.. Do as I say not as I do)..

Druff, you're over thinking this a bit too much.


I'm fucking sick of every thread turning into "the left" and "the right"


FFS, give it a rest with your politics.

Lost its ora? Does it still have its ana?

That's the problem. Everything HAS turned into the left and the right.

Didn't used to be like this. It's especially worsened in the past 10 years.

ad heard great things about Bill Nye, never saw him before.

Watched this nonsense and realised he had gone to the Dr Oz school of science communication and bullshit.

Mark Zuckerbeeg is from Hollywood??? What alternative universe do you live in?

when science and facts are ordained leftist propaganda by people who find science and facts inconvenient, yes, those people have politicized reality itself.

whether or not you choose to perpetuate their nihilist stupidity is a measure of your integrity and intelligence or lack thereof.
