Passions, 9/6/06, NBC

Looking for a Clipgasm? Search no further than Passions. In this death-by-hairdryer scene (or is it???) behold the magical trifecta of shlocky writing (“Now it’s time for the shock of your life, Miguel”), questionable acting (“But you KILLED HIM! Oh my God, Fox! You KILLED MIGUEL!!!”), and bargain basement special effects. And let’s not forget the subtle current of homoeroticism. The perfect weekend treat!

    Ummm…we should totally only ever have soap opera clipgasms. The quality cannot be matched
    That being said Miguel’s I’m-being-electrocuted face looks oddly like my exes O-face
    Kind of gross…kind of hot

    Oh my. It’s too bad I missed this. LOL

    There was a great clipgasm on All My Children today. It was Colby’s birthday and I swear she was acting like one of the spoiled princesses on My Super Sweet 16. She was throwing things around and calling her friends names and yelling because a statue of her was melting or how her stepmom veteoed having shirtless, hunky guys carry her into the party and she flipped out. I was laughing and rolling my eyes at the same time by the ridiculousness of it all.

    I don’t watch this show so I have to ask: why wasn’t Miguel more surprised to find some guy outside his shower? Is that a normal occurence?

    Okay, so I’m a little drunk, but I’m still pretty positive that this is the BEST CLIPGASM EVER.

    hahah Passions is so awesome.

    I used to watch it because I liked the storylines. Now I just watch for the comedy.

    I watched Passions when it first aired and they started off with the questionable inclusion of the late Princess Diana as Sheridans’s late friend.
    Oh my god, it’s gotten worse. The acting in this scene is truly awful. I may just have to start watching again…

    The next episode he imagined sticking a knife into Miguel’s back while in the kitchen. Truly magical stuff

    My favorite part of this whole thing is how his schlong would be hanging out the whole time. Like, she gets underneath him in the shower and cradles him, face up, presumably with his dangle dangling. Awesome.

    The lack of a cord on the hairdryer (and therefore lack of any electrical current) had me so distracted that I didn’t even notice a few seconds of the bad acting. Clever ploy, Passions!

    Say what you want about Kay’s acting (“OMG you killed MIguel !”) Fox (the blond guy) is a thousand times worse. How horrible is this guy. Grmph

    The acting in passions is truly unmatched.

    Worst. Acting. Ever.

    Isn’t Hollywood supposed to be extremely difficult to get into? But I guess that these people are kind of bottom of the heap, so maybe it’s different.

    One word: Hoyay!

    Wow, when I predicted Passions would kill off a character to be able to afford that Big Brother volcano, I had no idea the writers would act so quickly. Looks like a trip to Fiji is in the works in time for fall sweeps! Pack your bags residents of New Harmony (that is where they live, right- I don’t really watch the show).

    Ummm… Ubiquitous? Are you referring to “that which must not be named”? (I’m talking about that other website, not the actual definition of HoYay.)

    hahahhaha – this is how I got addicted to this damn show – and I don’t watch soaps!

    Like tikilights says, the knife seen is quite awesome – dare I say it would be better than the shower scene were it not for the fact that Miguel is clothed.

    I hate to inject any realism to this – but wouldn’t the lights flicker?

    They should just show Miguel’s ass already and be done with it. His ass is another character on this show.

    OMG, is this like killing Kenney and he comes back to life? Like on South Park. Does Miguel get it every week?

    BTW… Nice Back!

    I wonder how many takes it took the director to get the scene like this. One of the best clipgasms. It’s just as funny the 10th time you watch it as it is the 1st.

    There’s other meanings to “HoYay”?

    Did Fox have sex with Miguel first?

    looks like they rented space in an office cubicle..nice production values.
