YMCA B-Baller Watches The VMAs

Well, if you had a grey alien making out with an astronaut and Sabrina Carpenter on your bingo card, put a checker piece on it.

 

Carson Daly's old ass* shows up in the background of a shot without acknowledgement. Fame is a bitch goddess, Mr. TRL.

* May be younger than me, but he's not at the vanguard of pop like I am.

 

Honest question ... is DJ Khaled actually talented? Seems to me he's just a facilitator for others. I mean, it's a good gig if you can get it, and he lives off of his big personality, but I'm still mystified on what bedrock his fame is based on.

 

Teddy Swims has some sort of Dr. John/reverse Leon Redbone kinda look going here.

 

They're giving Katy Perry a Video Vanguard award. It's pretty depressing if you think about it.

Here's your career achievement award because we think your career is over is the vibe.

 

Was not anticipating a Leon Redbone reference on the VMA thread.

 

Fun fact. For a long time, I thought Leon Redbone was the lead singer of Redbone of "Come And Get Your Love" fame.

Even though he sounds nothing like the band Redbone.

 

Oh I got bored. Took a shower, played a game of card-and-dice baseball.

JUST LIKE THE KIDS DO!

 

Hey kids! It's Carson Daly! Ask your parents ...

 

A second fun fact: I saw Leon Redbone play in a club. In the middle of the show they put a spotlight on him and he started doing hand shadow puppets… and they were amazing.

 

Elder statesman Lenny Kravitz. Christ.

 

Hey! The Baseball Furies showed up!
