Harold Night Highlights 3/20/03

#1
Here's some favorites from last night -- let's blow out this list.

New Team

The guy playing the wrestler/winemaker -- great character, and he accepted every single proposal thrown at him

MTV's Spring Break Baghdad

8 p.m.

John Reynolds' debut initiation: "Hey, [Becton], up here: I was out late last night and somehow I ended up here on the roof of your garage, along with, uh ... your car."

Eric Scott working the waterslide: "Go."

Brian Huskey's awesome, grapically detailed fucking of Seth Morris.

OI's break room group game (Amy Rhodes: "I was just in my boss office...")

9:30 p.m.

Monkeydick's entire excellent Harold: so many big choices, so many distinct games -- wow, but when did these guys get so fucking good?

Favorite moment in show with a ton of great ones was Will Hines' facial expressions, while looking out the window as "Carlos."

Secunda: "Usually, bad stuff happens to me, but since I've had this hat ... no bad stuff's happened."
Merritt: (beat) You've only had it like five minutes, tops.

Delaney's Bible reading ("And all the sticks of the town were gath'red, and brought unto the edifice")

Dan Powell: I don't understand this PowerPoint presentation. Who is controlling the slides and where is that voice coming from?
(Answer: It was coming from John Reynolds, trapped in a ventilation duct with the wife of his boss after an office party)

Sean Conroy, as a disruptive churchgoer: This is church, there's not a bouncer.
Billy Merritt, as a roving Episcopalian bouncer: Is there a problem here?

Monkeydick:
Big Brother Berrebbi with marginally disturbed Gemberling at a mental institution. Will Hines' swinging door: "I'm telling you, there's nothing wrong with your brother"...Curtis' swinging door to Will: "We need their money..." and then Will's self-swing back to Berrebbi.

Decoster and that guy who wears Berkeley shirts often: Crawling around with limp bodies--Desperate clawing to get to Berrebbi's hot dog stand, and Rocco's walk-on, cutting in front of the starving, wheechair-less cripples: [stomp, stomp, stomp] (In fat voice) "I'll take all the hot dogs you have..."

Swarm:
Secunda: "I want to enlist."
Billy: "...you'll need to remove your hat..."
Secunda: [won't take off hat]
Billy: "We are knights of the New Century! We take off our hats, we open up doors for women, and we KILL!"

I also must second IO's breakroom scene, and Huskey and Seth's very committed sex scene. Seth (wife) to Rhea (husband): "Listen, honey, it won't happen again. I'm not cheating on you. Just put on this bodysuit [Huskey]..." "That's not a bodysuit, that's that man you're cheating on me with!!..."

what fun!

New Team: ensemble in a sack group game!

8 PM: Calhoun's child star character. Reynolds' debut complete with porno donkey (w/make up). Powell ignoring the rules at the water slide, prompting Scott's "turn the water off." Huskey licking his finger before reaching around for Morris' ass in their fuckfest. Gethard and Rhodes checking out the hot young bods at the water park (intra show callback!)

9:30 PM: Monkeydick on fire. No opening needed. Gemberling with a "tiny bow and arrow". Hines as "Carlos". Tender brotherly reunification finale with Gwinn and Rocco. Secunda's indestructable character enlisting to be an "army guy". Jesus wasn't actually resurrected, but moved to tomb "4 Delta".

Monkeydick amazed me with their bending the space. I was truly impressed.

And Will Hines gets a golden star for giving himself a revolving door.

Yes. I called it a revolving door.

in addition to all of the above...

billy threw a shotput and sean went to measure the distance it went only to find that billy had already picked it up and was walking back with it.

sean gave billy one of his famous pissed-off glares, flicked the ''hold'' button on the tape measure making the sound the tape measure makes as it's recoiling back.. his hand moving with it as well. sean then clipped it onto his belt and walked back.

i was so blown away because swear i actually saw that yellow metal tape measure recoil back into the silver container-- with the yellow oval and black name on the outside-- that sean was holding. the sound he made gave me chills. it was amazing!

New Team:

- The already mentioned "Lets everyone get in the sack" group game.
- "Hey thanks for coming over. Here, put this Smurf costume on!"

8:00

OI
- Break room group game. Rhea "I'm going to take my break now." To Huskey, "Oh, I see you are sitting in the break chair." Huskey: "I put my name on the break board." They fight, and Shannon: "Let them fight it out."
-Getherd on fire, and then Rhea trying to save him. "Her back is on fire!"

9:30

-Yes, Monkeydick on fire. You know it's going to be a good one when the first move of the show is Rocca taking a seat in a chair, and it getting a laugh.
-Will Hines as the loveable Carlos, "Uhm, we need the cake back."
-Berrebbi to a showering Curtis, "Come on, let me see you naked. We've lived together for 3 years." Curtis: "Not right now, I have to go over to the window and talk to this guy."
-Curtis talking to Rocco who thinks that Curtis could be his long lost twin brother, "I like to think my brother drowned on a ship during a war against a hun."
-Decoster, "I don't have cerebral palsy. I'm going to have an operation to break one leg, to extend it, because I have one leg that is longer than the other."
-Pete's walk-on at the end, "20 years ago, I gave up two twin boys for adoption." Curtis: "Not now, I'm talking to this guy who might be my brother."

Swarm
-Secunda, "Nothing bad has happened to me since I've had this hat." Billy, "That was just 5 minutes ago. I didn't even lose my hat, I just left it here shortly."
-Delaney to Dave in a Police Line-up viewing room, "Don't worry, no one can see you, so just look deep into their eyes and see if you can remember who stole your car." Billy from the backline, "Nice cackies."
-And yes, Delaney's last line in the Gospel speech, "And they did paint a sign with glitter that said "come reclaim thy things".
-Conroy's claiming that Jesus didn't accend into heaven, but was rather moved to "Delta 4".

For the record, what I said to Curtis was, "You guys are really blowing it." but now I wish I'd added, "And don't lie about this moment later."
