Flashback: Batgirl Wants a Pay Raise

GiggleSugar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Newsflash: Batman was not only a degrading husband, but a sexist employer to boot. In the following PSA for the Federal Equal Pay Law, Batgirl argues that she's underpaid and deserves to earn the same wages as Robin. Although Batgirl's timing is a bit manipulative - a ticking bomb is about to blow Batman a new one and she's his only hope for escape - girlfriend's request is warranted. But the big boss thinks she's joking. To which, I say, let the Batdouche blow.

Batman: Good Crime-Fighter, Bad Husband

GiggleSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 02:00:00 -0700

This appeared in a 1959 Batman comic titled, "The Marriage of Batman and Batwoman." Once Bruce Wayne disclosed his superhero secret to his new wife, she wanted in on the action. I sure hope the scene above is depicting our newlyweds in the act of role-playing with Batman posing as The Joker for a change. Cuz his blatant sexism is villainous and downright detestable. If not, Kathy needs to take off like a Batmobile outta hell and annul this union before it's too late. For more on the story, click here.

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Batman and Robin On the Chase

GiggleSugar — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Holy Manhole! "In the name of decent citizens everywhere," stop and watch the dynamic duo fight crime and take time to unrealistically abide by street safety rules. You'd think their stalling would work against them, but thanks to the convenient manhole located smack in the middle of street, the Joker ain't the last one laughing and the crime fighting goody-goodies effortlessly save the day! Bwahahahaha!

Flashback: Holy Siamese Human Knot, Batman!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 09:22:06 -0700

Back in the day, this was considered "action-packed" television? Awkward and uncomfortably staged is more like it. And if this "Siamese Human Knot" is Batman's idea of torture, then what kind of sheltered "superhero" are we following here? Although I do love the set design. They should have called this episode, "Batman and the multi-colored moving boxes." Now that would have been bad ass.

Office Superheroes

Who knew everyone's favorite superheroes work for the same company, and paper jams render them powerless, and Batman's real name is Michael Bolton, and Superman has a problem remembering to attach cover sheets to his TPS reports? Who knew?!

Police: Ending crime, one costume at a time

GiggleSugar — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 11:30:00 -0800

Forget uniforms, badges and handcuffs, because a new wave of police patrol is hitting the streets. Police officers in England are dressing up as their favorite action heroes to better battle the bad guys around town. Sgt. Tony Smith and Police Chief Mike Holman recently dressed up as Batman and Robin in an elaborate, but successful, sting operation to bust a few drug offenders. The Joker didn't make a public appearance, but I'm afraid that two police officers dressed in tights is joke enough.

On the Newsstand: Maxim Votes on Hair

CitizenSugar — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 10:00:25 -0800

Yeah, baby. Just when you thought only the intellectual heavies like Time weighed in on the election, along comes blessed Maxim, king dude of all the lad mags, and the sublime item, "Head of State." Authored by none other than Sy Sperling, "not only President, I'm also a client" of the Hair Club for Men, this could be the most grippingly accurate prediction of the campaign to date.

Using nothing but his knowledge of how hair makes the man (or Hillary,) Sy makes some startlingly prescient observations. To wit:

About John Edwards: "He's a Democrat with a Republican's hairstyle. It doesn't fit . . . he needs a change more than anybody. Kerry and Edwards were like Batman and Robin. But he isn't Robin anymore."

About Mitt Romney: "Mitt's got a great overall look, but it's too perfect. He'd probably be better off taking over the Hair Club than running for President of the United States."

The whole piece is a perfectly coiffed blend of political insight meets frat house infomercial - go steal the January issue from your bro and see for yourself.

Top TV Catchphrases of All Time

GiggleSugar — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 11:20:00 -0800

I was psyched to see that TV Land cable network just recently compiled their list of the top 100 television catchphrases of all time. Dy-No-Mite! I thought. Then I realized they "narrowed it down" to 100. I was all "Whatchoo talkin' about, Willis?!"

I can see why their list is so large after I tried to narrow it down to ten--it's impossible. So I'll give you a little teaser below. Giggle Girls, what do you think of my list? What did I leave out?

Aaay! (Fonzie, "Happy Days")
Come on down! (Johnny Olson, "The Price is Right")
De plane! De plane! (Tattoo, "Fantasy Island")
D'oh! (Homer Simpson, "The Simpsons")
Holy, __ Batman! (Robin, "Batman")
I Want My MTV! (old MTV ad)
Yabba, dabba doo! (Fred Flintsone, "The Flintstones")
It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. (Timex commercial)
No soup for you! (The Soup Nazi, "Seinfeld")
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! (Jan Brady, "The Brady Bunch")

Turns out there's a TV Lovers Suite that was all over this that you should check out!
