cookie monster on colbert report, can't hardly wait

Hee!

Best Quote: "Me had crazy times in 70s and 80s. Me like the Robert Downey Jr. of cookies."

Can't Hardly Wait is on tv and I think it's my favorite teen comedy from when I was in highschool/early college. Besides starring Lauren Ambrose and Seth Green it has a ton of cameos from people I recognized only later ("Tara", Sara Rue, the-guy-who's-not-Zach-Braff from Scrubs, Clea DuVall, Freddy Rodriguez, Jamie Pressly, Selma Blair, Jerry O'Connell, that dude from that other thing (imdb says his name is Sean Patrick Thomas) as well as the obvious mid-to-late 90s people: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jenna Elfman, Melissa Joan Hart).

Love the dated pop references: "who does he think he is Brad Pitt? You are so much prettier than Gwyneth." Plus dude goes to Dartmouth at the end.

Thanks for posting a link to the Cookie Monster video! That was great!

Yeah, I thought Can't Hardly Wait was the best of that wave of teen movies. Plus Ethan Embry was only in like two movies ever and this along with Empire Records were those two. He was pretty good in both.

Too bad our generation didn't actually get any of its own teen movies. There were awesome teen movies throughout most of the 80's, and then they sprung up again once we were in late high school/college, but while we were in middle school/early high school all the movies were about early twenty-something Gen Xers (Reality Bites, Singles, etc.).

I was such a pissed-off eighth grader. I was like, "Why am I not 22 and living in Seattle? Accursed middle school existence!"

That Cookie Monster video was great. :)

Aren't Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow still famous?

Yes, but referencing them as a couple (which is not entirely clear from my mangled quote) is dated.

Ah, it's so dated I forgot that they were ever a couple until you mentioned it. Now I get it. ^_^
