We then cut to Backbone, where Joan is still talking about Sydney, and how she wants them to create tons of buzz around Sydney. Oh my gosh. I just realized how this works. Joan totally came up with Sydney, didn’t she? That is her contribution to Australian Gold, and she is not going to let Sydney return to his home planet! She uses the word “treasure”, which confirms for Mark that pirates are the way to go. As she talks about the product, Busey blurts out “It gives you a sexual feeling!”, and her face just goes cold. Mark tries to move it on, but Busey just left a turd in the punch bowl. John jumps in to ask if they’ve ever used pirates in their marketing, because he hates pirates. “That’s a pretty defined thing.” You mean, like cowboys? A catcher’s mitt that somebody invited to the meeting says that they have not used pirates. Oh, wait. That’s just Leathery Steve! John then interviews “Some people like pirates, some people probably don’t like pirates”. You know, you can replace the word “pirates” in that statement with any word in the English language, and it will always be true. To John’s credit, he pretty quickly agrees to go along with the team. I don’t like the guy, but he’s a good team player at least.
You put Charles Manson, Gary Busey, and The Ben Stiller show into a single sentence …how is this not the most Google’d article on the Internet ever?
Dammit! I should have put “topless” in that sentence.
Great. Thanks. Now I can’t unsee that.
Pretty good season! Joan Rivers is probably my favorite of all time in terms of entertainment factor.
