YEAH, BITCHES! *\o/*


For those of you who could not care less, I will add that there was a really bizarre "lost footage of Gladys Knight auditioning Pips" skit on the two-hour finale that involved Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr., uh, pipping. For, like, five solid minutes. To "Midnight Train to Georgia." All my mother could say through the whole thing, over and over, was, "That's Robert Downey Jr.? Look at him! he's got moves!"

ETA 2: I totally forgot--you're supposed to be able to download the clip on iTunes for charity. Go forth and pip!

I was still half expecting them to hand it to David Archuleta on a silver platter, honestly.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I totally gasped whenever Ryan said it, because I was still somehow expecting Archuleta to win.

I thought you weren't going to tune in until the end? Were you lucky enough to miss the horrific bit where they exploited the dude in white with the hat from the auditions? And the wince-inducing Love Guruskit?

I was going to refrain, but my mother was watching it (naturally) when I came down to grab dinner, so of course I got sucked in. (Michael and Carly were singing! How was I going to walk away from that?) I did manage to miss the Love Guru, but did not miss the white hat dude, which was horrific.

Oh my god, the Tropic Thunder trio pipping was my favorite part of the entire night, with the exception of the superior David pwning.

I am a total RDJ fangurl right now.

They had the three guys CGI'd into an old Gladys clip where they were the Pips. It was... odd. I'll see if I can find it on YouTube.

Well, he was pipping for charity, what can I say? Also, they at least had a decent winner this year, so it could have been worse.

Word. I have not watched a single episode of American Idol this year, but there was nothing better on TV to watch, so I tuned in and decided to root for David Cook on your behalf. The Pipping was such a lovely combination of 'this is awesome! No wait, it's ridiculous. Oh, wait Robert Downey Jr. can dance.' Ben Stiller cannot, though I don't know if he was purposely sucking or not. RDJ had this wonderful expression of 'yeah, I rock, bitches. Look at me dig touch.'

I remember seeing an interview with Lenny Henry where he said being a Pip must be the easiest job in the world. He got up from his chair to demonstrate: "Gladys is up there and her mascara's running and her wig's coming off, and meanwhile the Pips are up there going (mimes pipping) 'My love is his and his alone!' (mimes looking at watch, then pips some more) 'Want to get in some golf tomorrow?' 'Yeah!' 'Hey Gladys! We want a payrise! We're workin' our pips off back here!"

That was the silliest thing I've ever seen.

I demand to know how that skit came about. Which executive sat back and thought, "Say, you know what we should do for the finale? Pips."?

My favorite part was when RDJ got lost off-stage and Jack Black went to go find him, only to come back with his pants around his ankles. WTF, guys. Are you two trying to encourage the RPS writers?:)

Wow, Ben Stiller has no rhythm. I love how Jack Black is all, "Let's make this as goofy as possible," while Robert Downey Jr. is like, "Why yes, I am debonair in polyester." And... I don't know quite what to make of Jack Black falling back on stage with his pants down.

RDJ has absolutely no right to be that hot in blue sueded polyester and a bow tie the size of Krusty the Clown's.

I need him and James Marsden to do a musical together, stat. Maybe they can be one half of Jersey Boys, or something.
