Things that didn’t suck this week – orgasmic birth, Red John, fake rap and NPH

2020-birth“I was purring! It felt amazing!” — Lady hippies have orgasms while giving birth on 20/20.

Okay boys and girls, let’s sit down and have a conversation about something. I’ve already talked about my immense dislike of potheads, but that’s really only a subset of my greater enemy: dirty hippies. I started my post-holiday TV viewing with possibly the greatest episode of 20/20 in the history of the world. Between the women who raise dolls as real children, women who breastfeed their kids until puberty and the aforementioned dirty hippies who have orgasmic births in hot tubs, it was chock-full of trainwrecky goodness. Check out the orgasmic birth clip after the jump: after watching these people have their “perfect” outdoor childbirths, I am only more thankful for my clean, sterile hospital filled with trained medical staff. Thanks, NYU Medical Center! You didn’t give me an orgasm, but I am more than okay with that. It would have made the morning after really weird.

“You seem to be telling the truth … but you’re a very clever, unprincipled narcissist in a desperate corner.” — Jane strikes a deal with the devil on The Mentalist.

I really liked The Mentalist in the beginning, mainly because I’m a sucker for police procedurals. However, more and more, I’m looking for procedurals with some sort of twist. The Mentalist seemed to fit the bill with its Red John storyline. It gives the show an over-arching mystery to go along with the police work — except they kind of dumped it after the first few episodes. Sure, it’s been mentioned here and there, but this week’s episode was the first one in a while in which the Red John mystery was front and center. It made me remember why I liked this show so much in the first place.

“Super-sonic, idiotic, disrespected, not connected….” — Kenneth raps on 30 Rock.

I really feel like we haven’t had enough Kenneth this season on 30 Rock. He’s a main reason I started watching the show in the first place, and I kind of miss the little guy. Luckily, his brief stint as a fill-in warm-up comedian for TGS featured a rap from Teen Witch, which filled me with joy. Hopefully the regular warm-up comedian suffered from a fatal overdose so Kenneth can get the job. Am I right, or am I right? Uh … anyone?


“You wanna know how I met your mother?” — Neil Patrick Harris gets heckled on SNL.

Dude. Everyone at CliqueClack has been so excited about Neil Patrick Harris hosting SNL, and he did not disappoint. While he was great in all of his sketches, I have to say I laughed the hardest when Neil was just being Neil … and Andy Samberg was just being Mark Wahlberg. The opening monologue cracked me up. NPH’s poor little girlfriend!

The Teen Witch rap is also a part of a hilarious skit on The Lonely Island’s Website (SNL’s Andy Samberg). Its a TRL type parody.

That birthing segment is insane! Thanks (I think) for including it. I’m with you– I’ll take the wonderful hospital where my son was delivered any day.
