I like Wipeout, and I don’t care who knows.
The other day I saw the premiere of this new ABC show "Wipeout," and I’m not even going to downplay it and act all cool, because I laughed so hard in the burrito place where we were watching it, I almost caused a scene.
I suppose I could defend my newfound love of this lowbrow show by saying that I’m not really laughing about the people falling off of big slippery balls, as I guess is the universal appeal of a show like this. No, what I found really so hilarious was the commentary from the hosts (like when the old guy was like "This one’s for AARP!" and they’re all "Worst. Shoutout. Ever."), or the extremely funny extraneous comments made by those who are attempting the wacky obstacle course (my favorite line of the premiere, made by a woman halfway through the course: "Man, I’ve gotta start working out!")
I know you’re bored at work this week anyway, so I think you should take this opportunity to just sit back and watch this show. Just try to stifle the laughter so your co-workers don’t know you’re slacking.
I also ended up watching this show for some reason and seriously, couldn’t remember the last time I had laughed so hard at TV. But how are they going to make it different-funny every week?
