***PennyDreadful takes on the month of April! Enjoy!!

chaosbutterfly on Celebrity Apprentice: I will say though that if I was in the crowd, I would have snatched that money off the ground and ran away as fast as I could. I would possibly even trample adorable little Clay in the process. I’m not proud of that, but it’s the truth, so I don’t blame those who did. It’s free money, floating down from the sky. What are they supposed to do? Be decent and maintain their composure? In the face of free money? This is America; we don’t do that here.

waffleboy on Person of Interest: What the? He’s Canadian? Where was the obligatory 20 minute scene on how most people can’t appreciate the strategy involved in curling? It’s probably next to the scene where they got a couple of drinks in him and he talked about how horrible everyone in Quebec is. Oh well, this will totally make the DVD a must buy.

crankyguy on Survivor: They need to cut back on all the perks or change the name of the show to Camper or Vacationer.

R2DCups on 16 and Pregnant: With that said do none of these guys use condoms? I mean seriously what’s up with that? Do kids not worry about std’s anymore? Can we do a follow up of 16 and chlamydia?

Bioscotto on Desperate Housewives: Also…yes…why are all gay boys on TV shows skinny and hair-gelled to hell? Booo….but what can you expect from the show that still uses “You’re here, you’re queer, I’m used to it” unironically?

42E8 on Person of Interest: As for the rest of it, well, suspension of disbelief is part of enjoying scripted TV, right? Of course, I’m from the “Fantasy Island” and “Charlie’s Angels” generation, so POI is practically reality TV compared to my childhood.

kthxbai on RHOC: Before I had even 1 sip “dumbbell-ee-ay” made me ROFL so hard my hand shook and my coffee slopped out all over and came THIS close to falling into my keyboard. Which would have meant accidental electrocution to me and irreconcilable damages to an important piece of computer equipment that would cost almost $11 to replace!

S-Natch on Million Dollar Listing NY: Michael also brings the exquisite sense of taste and style born of “the more money I waste on it, the better it must be…” mentality of someone who has never had to choose between and electric bill or lunch.

Cherie on Bad Girls Club: Having to listen to Piggy sing was worse than having my gall bladder removed. And my computer kept crashing so I think it was screaming for it to stop too.

Looks like too many Pixie Stix, Mom.  Thought about a flipper?

sheesh on Toddlers & Tiaras: Red Bull (check), Pixie Stix (check), Names spelled in a phonetically fucked way (check), Moms crazier than a bag full of monkeynuts (check), Chookie Moves (check). Let’s do this.

Named for lurid serialized stories (so like today's reality TV) that sold for a penny a copy in Victorian Britain, former National Spelling Bee finalist and multiple Science Fair award winner PennyDreadful has been writing for TVGasm since 2011, and cites MST3K as inspiration.

    Oh Penny, I just laughed my ass off! Started off with my lovely comment that made the cut, and then it just went from there! Oh, and thank you so much for including that glorious comment from one Jennifer Lopez, aka Calamari’s mom!! You have made my day!! I am trying to remember where my comment came from, and I don’t think that it was the particular T&T episode that you used…

    Again, you made my day!! :)

    I sent a text to my daughter
    “I made the commentgasm 2 out of 4 months so far! I hope you are having a great birthday! This snow sux…right?”
    She sent me back a text
    “Good Job Mommie! thanx!”
    30 seconds later
    “commentgasm???WTF???????”
    Love her!

    My mom would never make this list because from what I’ve witnessed on Facebook, her comments would go something like this:

    “LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recap! So precious! They couldn’t have picked a better candidate to write this!” ON. EVERYTHING.

    If it even needs saying, I have hidden her from my newsfeed.

    Judgy, oh no you didn’t? You hid your mom from your news feed? That is it, straight to hell!! LOL just kidding!!! My mom never posts so I don’t have that option. If she does, it is to comment on a picture or something I have said…then again, my mom can barely type so there is that…

    Sheesh, you crack me up… I was telling MR Z about the comments and some of the moms last night. I had to change when the DVR would record T&T cause there were 3 shows that we wanted to watch all at the same time. Needless to say, he saw what I was going to record and shook his head. He then went on to tell me that I am never ever allowed to put our child in a pageant. EVER! Then I told him about Beth and Gabby, how crazy Lori and Alaska are, and the best of the best. Peyton and her off roading little red wagon!! Even without the clip, we laughed our asses off!

    I keep it clean on facebook… “OMG…How cuuutteeee!” when I really want to say “Your child’s head is shaped like a lemondrop. You should look into that.”

    That’s why I come here…

    I love it when the forth wall comes down. I still can’t believe people don’t understand the Streisand Effect.

    How can you not love a place that pats you on the back for being rude, snarky, judgmental etc

    I figured I’d go to hell if I unfriended her, so I decided the passive-aggressive route would be best.

    I find myself debating whether or not to post things due to my mom’s responses. Not because what I post is inappropriate (….most of the time), but because I know it’ll annoy me.

    Yeah on FB I keep it clean also… I do have some very conservative friends, plus some of my older family members on are there. Although, yes they do know I drop Fbombs and stuff. Still I keep it clean. Sheesh and SnowShoe know that I post many pictures of my fur babies….

    But yes, I come here to “be myself” and by “myself” I mean, that unedumacated, welfare using, ugly, fat, child creeper, that those CrayCray T&T moms think that I am!

    Most people don’t get my sarcasm and think that I am being mean. But the fact that you ladies (and gents) get me, well that is all the matters!! :)

    Oh Jennifer Lopez. What a sad, misguided attempt to prove that she’s not an idiot. As someone famous once supposedly said: “Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

    The TNT recaps are my favourite! The snark never stops coming and my fellow commenters are always hilarious, I love it.

    (swirling through in a cloud of rose scented farts) Another month and more me! YAY!! Oh, wait… bitchy comments are not good? NAHHHH…. YAY!!! :)

    Seriously, J-Lo…wow. What a loony tune.

    I almost spit up water with this month. I forgot how cray cray” Toddlers and Terrorist Moms” was this season.

    So, to a pageant mom with multiple master’s degrees (Was it more than one? I forget.) it’s beneath her dignity to drive a Camry, but perfectly acceptable to name her child after fried squid. I have always thought that there are some people on whom a higher education should not be wasted.

    Thanks PennyD! You deserve a 7 layer Little Debbie casserole with extra Star Crunch crust!
    Not only did I make the list, but I love me some J-Slow and Squidward!

    “CynTV on Tough Love N.O.: And the makeup – my God, woman, you call yourself a makeup artist? Who taught you, a plasterer?”

    HAHAHA!

    Oh, and it’s true, I’m autism with a side of trailor ass.

    @crabby – I am consistently a-fuckin-mazed at the women who call themselves makeup artists and look like clown-hookers. I wouldn’t let them near me.
