Bad Boys...Bad Boys

Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you? This show is priceless. Everyone has seen at least one episode, and I'm not embarrassed to admit, Terry and I have probably seen every single one. How can you not enjoy watching dirty, drunk, mullet sporting hillbillies, in beer and sweat stained wife beaters get tackled then arrested? We LOVE it. Don't judge.

If you've ever seen Mystery Science Theater 3000, you know it's about ad libbing words for the characters and making fun of bad movies. Well, we do that with Cops. No, we don't watch it on mute or anything, but Terry and I banter back and forth with what we think these hillbillies are saying and we're flipping hysterical. We crack up.

Last night was no exception. Earlier this week I set our DVR to record some episodes that happened to be on between 3-5 am. We laid in bed last night and pressed play. OMG! I don't even know where to start with what was wrong (great) with this Cops episode. Usually, it's the bad guys we poke fun at, but in this particular one, it was the cops themselves that we berated and ridiculed.

First of all, here's Bubba. The opening scene starts with him driving an early 80's model cop car. Right then and there we knew this would be great. This episode took place in Hoboken, NJ. Oh God, it just gets better and better. Evidently, a sweaty fat guy went into a liquor store and tried to pass a $50 counterfeit bill off as real. The sweaty fat guy bolted when the owner figured it out. Bubba and the officers were taking information from the store owner, who all, by the way, had beautiful mustaches and wore HUGE tinted glasses. The officers used walkie talkies the size of Velveeta blocks, they had the long, flimsy antenna wire too. How old is this crap! Terry and I were having trouble breathing listening to how these people talked, and how Bubba told the sweaty fat guy: "We need you to come down to headquarters." HEADQUARTERS?" Who says that!


Meet Elayne. She had us rolling. Look at her cop hat. WTH? Who wears hats like that? It's not even on her head! It's hovering over her head. Guess she's saving her pony tail from becoming flattened? Look at how much air is in between the bottom of the hat and the top. Love it.
Set your DVR to G4, Channel 239 at 3 a.m. sit back and enjoy.
Toodles.
