***Another Christmastime rerun! It’s the Susan Boyle Christmas Special! AW!
It’s Christmastime! That means there ain’t crap on TV. Actually, scratch that. It means there’s ONLY crap on TV. But there’s no good reason not to watch it!! Enter TVGuide Channel with the story of the year. It’s about how a face like this….

….did this…

Christmas Miracle!!
All I really know about Susan Boyle is that she looks like a chunky, unkept Donny Osmand and became an international sensation for singing a Patti LuPone song. Since it’s always been my dream to become an international sensation for singing like Patti LuPone, I thought this might be one biography I should snuggle up with this holiday season. Join me, won’t you?
Big gold letters splash up on the screen telling us that DREAMS. CAN. COME. TRUE!! TONIGHT. SUSUAN BOYLE. LIVES. THAT. DREAM!!!! Well, who hasn’t dreamt of having their biography shown on the TVGuide Channel? Glad to see someone get their chance. Now is Divine Design a rerun tonight or not? I don’t know. Because the TV listings aren’t showing. RIP OFF!! My dream was to watch Divine Design tonight and now I’ll never know when it’s on. Susan Boyle has killed the dream I dreamed.
Hey, you know when I said that Susan Boyle looks like a fat unkept Donny Osmand? Look what pic just popped up!!

LOLOLLLLLLLL!! Tell me I’m wrong.
Guess what this special is called? I Dreamed a Dream! Duh. I think they should have called it Photoshop Overkill: How to Go From Dowdy to Just Kinda Dowdy in Six Months.

Home Alone: The Golden Years
Whatever you do, Boyle, don’t use that pic on Match.com. If you’ve got five necks and rooster jowls, guys wanna know that shit up front. Hey! You’re a star now and we’re gonna put your face on billboards across America! Just hide half of it. Love ya mean it.
This is a live show with an audience and everything!! WOWEEE! The host is Piers Morgan. If he doesn’t tell me what time Divine Design is on I’m gonna be super pissed. He looks like a big bowl of orange sherbet.

How come spray tans don’t work on British People?
Piers tells us that Susan Boyle had a lurid sexual affair and a crack addiction. Kidding!! She had a DREAM!!! Let’s see where it began.

Like any good star, Boyle’s life began in the projects. Who says those places are good for nothing? I’m kinda jealous that I was raised in the middle class.

If you like it, spread it!:

Flipit:
You’re so funny.
I watched the Susan B/Britain’s Got Talent clip 3Xs!
Merry Christmas, Mister.
Flipit,
Why don’t you have TV show? You’re funnier than The Soup!
“This should be the album cover”
I know that people often comment to say something made them spit whatever they were eating/drinking out all over their computer, and that had never happened to me before UNTIL NOW!
Flipit = my hero!
“After crying for a couple of years”…”a slightly thinner Rosie.” Comedy gold. I don’t need to do crunches tonight–gettin’ all the ab work I need right here!
You show know better that to attack a person look or weight as an easy way to entertain yourself.
Your smarter than that, so don’t go for giant fish in the barrel.
Mean isn’t clever.
Funny.
Clinton, I resent the ‘giant fish’ crack.
I happen to have a giant fish and I can tell you he didn’t choose to be that way. It’s a debilitating disorder with consequences for both his family and society as a whole.
Besides, this woman only got famous BECAUSE she’s a ugly dumpy troll who sings like 97 percent of the frumpy spinster shower-singers in the world.
Recognize that when you read one of flipit’s recaps, you are in the presence of a true Artist, the GOD of all recaps.
So have some respect- put your kipah back on and ask yourself, “What would Jeebus do?”
Also: PMDD? Huh? Is it contagious?
Okay, that was hysterical! I was waiting for the mean jokes… but they never came. So, congrats for being really funny without being mean.
FYI, just for the future, Susan Boyle was deprived of oxygen at birth and has brain damage as a result. One of the biggest effects is a problem expressing herself verbally in certain circumstances. So she does have a disability that has significant effects on a daily basis – but she’s done remarkably well anyway.
Thanks for the laughs!
Guys thanks so much for reading! This was a fun one. I think I will write a couple more random shows up this week, so if there’s some crap special or something you wanna see covered (that’s not two hours) tell me here in the comments and I will get on it.
As for being rude about fat, yes I get that it’s offensive and low brow. There’s a fine line between being fun evil and evil hell evil evil. If I crossed it a little, I apologize, but man we haven’t really let Susan Boyle have it yet on TVGasm and I thought it might hurt her feelings to be left out. Ha. I am making no sense. Thanks again for reading, and get your recap requests in fast if you have them. xo
Guess I’m tardy to the party!!! I love your xmas bon mots, Flip!!! You’re ever so graciously kind to us here gasmi!!! I’m very excited to have someone almost 50 break records for sales . . . . Go S-bo!!!!
And Flip it, be honest, did you get the CD?! I haven’t but I thought the snippet of Wild Horses was B-U-tiful, and I sent it to me mom’s for xmas, she likes all that show tune stuff. Me, I just keep getting punches in my gay card, going all the way back to the classic musicals, but collecting more for Chicago, and Moulin Rouge and soon to be Nine . . . what kinda gay am i?
If I think of any specials, I shall return!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
ps. You could document your own xmas celebration, I’m sure that would be a hoot!
Holy Crap, Flipit! I wish I had read this on Monday when I was in a craptacular mood! You are so fucking funny I just gave myself a disability from laughing so hard.
I freaking LOVE Chess!!! Did you know the guys from ABBA wrote the music? You probably did.
Anyway, thanks for giving my stonach a workout – now I can skip the situps and go stuff MY fat face!
Love You!
SWAK, PottyMouth
Oh Flipines, the line “Watch out. You’re hair’s about to bite your forehead off” cracked me up and I couldn’t laugh out loud because hubby is snoozing next to me. I had to LITERALLY cover my mouth with my hand to hold in my giggles.
After I pressed “submit comment”, the screen popped up to the top of the recap and I saw that Amazon is advertising Susan Boyle’s “The Gift”, her “new album of holiday songs and modern classics”. Wait. Is there such a thing as a modern classic??? Isn’t that an oxymoron?
Anywhoodle, coinkidinky nonetheless.
What I want to know is, how did everyone comment on Dec 23, 2009? That is crazay.
Also…..”One of the biggest effects is a problem expressing herself verbally in certain circumstances. So she does have a disability that has significant effects on a daily basis….”
If that’s true, then most people I know are disabled. :O
Nikki: I believe the word you are looking for is craycray. The other word you are looking for is rerun
Even year-old Flipit is fresh as a daisy.
I loved this! The Rosie and Jack Black references had me dying. And the Little Cesears comment. Ha! All the teens and tweens in my neighborhood come home with small pies and bookbags. Damn you Little Cesears for putting a restaurant in my already obese neighborhood! And for not delivering.
This is such a classic, it should be viewed every Christmas along with “A Christmas Story”, Rudolph, etc. And I think we as a nation gained weight the moment Susan Boyle came on the scene.
@Zbird: Thanks! I thought that it might be, but I didn’t see a disclosure anywhere…..and apparently I didn’t read it last year b/c I have no interest in this woman. However I must say, it was quite a hysterical read. I HEART FLIPIT.
FlipIt, i just found that Cameron Macintosh was found suffocated by a Patti LuPone album cover dressed in a business suit and bruges…ok perhaps i Dreamed a Dream of my own, but it COULD have happened…
You are the funny MASTER! Kudos! As a large teethed Brit myself, i’m proud of Susan and her disability (oxygen deprivation, yup that’s about as English as it gets-soccer balls to the head during PE) and it gives hope to us aesthetically-challenged, well spoken English folk (until you hear someone from Blackburn talk)
“Then Simon gave her that same look he gave Fantasia when she showed up back on American Idol cracked out and dressed like Ronald McDonald to sing some super crappy song off of her second album fail.”
I remember that so vividly!! It’s one of those things when I’m old and senile I’ll still remember, but not my kids’ names.
So wait, we’re still supposed to care about Susan Boyle? Are there fans of this woman? Who really buys / downloads her music? I just don’t get it. She’s as if Blues Traveler featured themselves in the Runaround video.
