Dorm Life

This will be in the same format as how I explained why I love Community. I hope you all remember how awesome I proved the show is. Now, I will be doing the same for Dorm Life. I remembered that I was meaning to make a "review" of it when I made a bonus video the actors for the web show made as video of the week.

Dorm Life

Why this web show is awesome (I need to find a word to replace awesome. It's getting repetitive)
(oh! I'll use shiatzu. Sorry Amir [from college humor]):
Second try: Why this web show is the shiatzu:

1- Shane, Gopher, and Danny B (a.k.a. Daniel Benjamin): this trio of roommates is awesome. The first time they meet, Danny B (who is very serious, as is obvious from the name) is dreading what is to come because Gopher (yes, that actually is the character's name) and Shane are such party-goers. When they are making the roommate agreement, they read a question regarding their bedtime.
-Question: When do you plan on sleeping?
Danny B: 10 o' clock.
Gopher and Shane: 4 a.m.! Dude, this year's gonna be awesome!
- The background for the upcoming quote: So there's this guy, Andy, and the whole floor crowds him and tries becoming best friends with him in season 1 because they assume he is gay. When they learn he is actually straight in the second season, they all hate him and act anti-gay people would act toward gay people, but to a straight person. It's hilarious.
Gopher: Look Andy, Im cool with you being straight and all. I just don't want to have to see it all the 
time. Shane: He made the choice.
-Gopher: I just found Shane peeing in the bathroom and by bathroom I mean library and by peeing I mean peeing.
-This is Shane's answer to almost all questions: Probly.
- Gopher: that's the risk you take with mystery hot girls. Once you take the mystery away, it's just a hot girl, and hot girls can be lame.
- Shane: I broke his heart just like he broke my leg
- Shane's rap when he finds out his assigned study buddy is asian: This studying session has been messing with the scale. Now that I have an asian man, there's no way that I can fail!

2- Courtney: is very very very shiatzu. I don't even need to explain her, the quotes I'm gonna throw at you will show how weird and cool and funny she is.
-Courtney, when asked what she would take to a deserted island: I would bring a weapon...other than my wit. I would bring a bow and arro...oh, is that two things? A bow. No, an arrow. An arrowbow. I would bring an arrowbow. Don't try to tell me that's two things. I know it's one. I've... I've seen them.
- When she is mad at her best friend and roommate, she sang to herself (very loudly): I love myself, yeah. And I love everything I have to do with myself. I'm my own best friend. I can do things with myself that no one would do with me!
- When she is still mad at her best friend and needs someone to study with, she goes to the very conservative Christian ( I think she's Amish) girl who never talks, is very shy, and sweet, and cool (Abigail), and who Gopher is in love with and says: Hello little girl. What a pretty dress you're wearing today. Can I interest you in quizzing me on my notecards? (shows a piece of candy to Abby). I'll give you a makeover. Make you look like a vice president.
-When she sees the floor playing ten fingers, she says: Oh my God, oh my God, who are you guys because I'm totally the best at this game!

3- Josh: Is a complete weirdo. He's the artistic, soulful, awesome-guy-who-pays-a-homeless-woman-to-trade-places-with-him-so-that-he-can-live-the-life-of-a-homeless-person kind of guy. He wrote his own play once, and was the only person who acted in a 3-act play which included an intermission. He was the one who said the most random and shiatzu things ever. Observe(read):
- No troubles bubbles, I just comes here to dance! ------> This doesn't make sense in context either.
- I made my roommates disappear!
- Josh: Michael, was I in your dream last night?
  Mike: Nope.
  Josh: O.K. I'll try again tonight.
-Josh: Alright all you cool cats. Heres another song to help you explore your vapid and ultimately 
fruitless carnal desires.
- Courtney and Josh just click. So, here is a great exchange of awesomeness between the two:
Josh: Truth or dare?
Courtney: Truth.
Josh: How dare you?
Courtney: Boldly.

4- Marshall: The RA of the floor. He is kind of stuck up, but only kind of. Well, actually, 
a lot. He's a buzz kill, and he's sarcastic. He's over competitive, hates Mike (who I will
tell you about later on and is Josh's roommate), and even dated Steph (the most 
enthusiastic, perky, fun-loving person on the floor who I will also tell you about later 
and doesn't match Marshall at all). Overall, he's THE SHIATZU!


-Before a game of flag football between 5-South (Marshall's floor) and their rival floor, 5-North,
each team does a chant. The RA for 5-North (i.e. the normal RA) makes a chant like this: 
"Playing football, it's what I wanna do. Diversity rocks, and so do you!"
In contrast, Marshall's chant goes like this: 'You say this with me! Prepare to die! Prepare to
die! Blood makes the grass grow! KILL KILL KILL!! Prepare to die, prepare to die..."
 Spiffy, right?
-Marshall hates hates hates Mike. If Dorm Life were The Office, then Marshall would be
Dwight, and Mike would be Jim. This is what Marshall says to Mike before the flag football
game: "I konw we got off on the wrong foot, we're both to blame. But let's put your differences
aside and win the champoinships!
-After 5-South wins the game (with Marshall punching the opposing RA in the nose to prevent
a touchdown), Marshall gives a victory speech (or sentence or something): There is no I in 
team, but there is in victory, there is in win, there is in decimation, there is in annihilate. So you
tell me what you think is more important. Click." (The click only makes sense in context)
-In a game of "Would You Rather?" Danny B asks, "Would you rather... eat cake, or eat 
ice-cream cake?" Marshall's response to that wimpy question: "No, bubble butt. Would you 
rather sneeze a fish anytime you met someone new of throw-up out of your eyeballs? Things
to consider: the world stock of seafood is gonna collapse by 2050."
-"Steph, you make me want to be a worse person."


NOW FOR THE.... 
Quick Summary of the other, equally spiffy characters of Dorm Life but who I'm too lazy to 
actually write a lot about and also give quotes for.


- There is...
- Brittney (or Brittany or something... You get the point): Is super best friends with 
Courtney, so how can she not be great? She's a lot more calm and relaxed than 
Courtney. 
- Mike: Josh's roommate, and the person Marshall hates. This should give a quick 
overview of his personality: Once, he made a "Scary Box" on Halloween. It was a 
rectangular box with a slit on the side for people to look through propped up against a 
wall close to where Marshall had dressed up as a scarecrow in an attempt to scare 
various inhabitants of the dorms. In the box, there was a post it that said, "Act scared
to mess with Marshall." People would look in the box, freak out, then walk calmly by 
Marshall, frustrating him A LOT!
- Andy: The not-gay guy everyone hates (in the second season) because he wasn't gay,
like everyone thought he was.
- Abigail: She's awesome. Gopher is in love with her, but she's engaged. She is a 
SUPER SUPER SUPER conservative Christain (she may be Amish) and probably the
last person that Gopher would fall in love with, but it all works out wonderfully. Abigail 
is one of my favorite characters. Unfortunately, since she doesn't talk much, I don't 
remember many of her quotes, and I'm too lazy to search for them.
- Steph: The girl who used to date Marshall. She's so enthusiastic and jumpy and perky
and preppy and spiffy that, when she became high in one episode, she acted like a 
normal person. It was hilarious.

I think That's about it. I'm not sure....


I've lost my blogging vibe!!! Somebody help me! I'm not funny! 
No more!
See?!
