We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" 5.8

We had some unfortunate technical difficulties to contend with this week on We're Getting Nowhere. They included the mysterious disappearance of the first ten minutes of our vlog, and the unexpected relocation of the cold Jill had last week to my body this week. In a word, both sucked.

But despite those setbacks, we pressed forward and managed to cobble together a rambling recap of the eighth episode of The L Word. Topics of discussion include Kelly McGillis in drag as The Grim Reaper, Mia Kirshner's improvisational skills, Bette's weird hair, and how Alice and Tasha star in their own MentosTM commercial.

Finally, Brunch With Bridget host Bridget McManus dropped by the WGN studios on her lunch break to pick up her cousin Jessica, who was crewing for us this week (thanks, Jess!). She popped her head in long enough to take off her bra on camera and get roped into one of our reenactments. If she actually watched The L Word, I don't think she ever would have agreed to play Adele (she's much more of an Alice, don't you think?).

    Aaahhh!!

    Fave lines:

    1) Dara as Max: "i keep waiting for the car to come get me, but no one does...did you get your script? coz i don't seem to have mine...am i on the show?"

    2) Karman: "she'll be the baby lettuce on your grandma sandwich"

    3) Jill: "speaking of penises"

    4) Dara: "that outfit is against the law"

    5) Jill: "quit yelling at jodi, she can read your lips y'all"

    6) Jill: "its your bra on my shoulder, its making me sexual"

    7) Bridget: "its the no-nip bra...if its chilly in the office nobody knows"

    8)Karman with the puppet : "you're free, ooooh "(makes out with the tasha puppet) Jill: no, that's jenny!

    i agree with what karman said about how it would have a lot funnier if they had scenes of jenny doing stupid things outside the premiere..'like skipping...doing hopscoth...' hahaha.

    Can't wait for next week's vlog...with a  special guest!!

    and oh, love the screencap!

    P.S. brunch with bridget, she made me watch this, we're getting nowhere, 3way lesbian bingo...Bridget McManus, you're everywhere! and i love it ;)

    Huh?

    3way lesbian bingo??
    chloe121212's picture

    Umm...

     No new 3way episode this week but on the site there was a video posted called 3way Lesbian Bingo.  It was hilarious and guess who showed up.... yep Bridget, she of many cameos

    "I don't kiss girls who wear doilies"

    :) Baby Lettuce

     awesome vlog.  I also sooo thought Mia improvised that line

    I love it when u guys veer off topic.  It's ridiculously hilarious.  And how do I love guestbians.  Loved Bridget!  It just seems pointless not to have one big afterellen group vlog.  On second thought, I don't think anyone should be bottled with u four (unless they're prepared to die laughing.)

    Jill loved how u tried to cover your "tastful" words by saying the exact same thing again.

    Feel Better Karman.

    Dara rocks. "friday's" LOL

    "I don't kiss girls who wear doilies"

    Yes!

    Best screencap ever?

    Can't wait to watch!

    mikki55's picture

    Why is it always posted when im at work?

    I can't wait to get home and watch you 3 funny ladies (and Birdget is always a nice addition).

    Wed. are great beacuse of WGN.

    Thu. are great because Cathy is just the hottest thing ever!! (oh and very good advise which is the only reason i watch, really!).

    Sun. are great beacuse of Bridget.

    What about the rest of the week?

    Want more, more, more!!

    carolinagrrrl's picture

    you're forgetting...

     

    Tuesdays and Fridays are great because we get a brief (usually TOO brief!) snippet from the lovely and witty Kate Clinton on Hilarity Clinton. And I used to look forward to Mondays because of Dara's Cashmere Mafia recaps, but, alas, they are no more! (forever? who knows...)

    It makes me laugh so much it almost makes me want max to appear in the show again!

    The Snot Thing

    I do believe you're right Jill. You can see that seconds before she actually says the line, Mia herself wipes at her nose with her fingers in such a way that suggests that she's looking at it and gives hints that it is there. And you can see that the agent guy gave a tiny hint of a *real* smirk as well.

    You guys rock!!!

    You guys rock!!!

     

    Love watching the vlog every week, you have me roaring with laughter! The re-enactment was brilliant! Also Bridgets guest bra appearance! Awesome!!

     

    Can't wait till next week!

    wgn is my heart

    Hilarious as always! ;) The enchanted couch made it all the more entertaining.

    I agree that the trail was very anticlimactic but Alice and Tasha are back together so it doesn't really matter.  *Two thumbs up and a corny smile*

     

    yay for a bridget cameo :)

    Empress's picture

    Always fun VLOG

    Yeah Mia Kirshner is absolutely brilliant this season, I too believe the snot line was improv and hilarious and I thought when she was speaking to Tina about Jessie when she was like "what?" "NO" in response to Jessie agents wanting to pull her from the movie that the scene was also improv.

    It's my first time commenting on the vlog and I think you three are awesome!

    little_sparks's picture

    The baby lettuce to your grandma sandwhich

    Possibley the best line ever. You are so freaking fantasic Karman.
    HaveFaith's picture

    lol

    That was total chaos! But I loved every minute of it!

    Nice bra, Bridget ;)

    "ehm...yeah..."

    HaveFaith's picture

    and

    Where can I get my own diva cat?

    Jill, do you train her or something?

    "ehm...yeah..."

    miss chatelaine's picture

    AHHH LUNA!!!

    Let me get this out of my system - AHHH LUNA! dear sweet lord, the cutest cat in the world, I was practically scratching my computer screen pretending to scratch between her darling perfect little cat ears. I know you've lost the first 10 minutes, but this has to be the best opening of WGN so far. All right - sorry about that, I just LOVE cats and I've never had any.

    It was a great episode! who cares that it was tecnhnically messed up and it wasn't as recappy as usual - we don't watch We're Getting Nowhere for the recaps anymore, we watch it for the terrible three. Karman's really cute when she's sick, and Bridget in a low-cut black top taking off her bra? heh, heh, hehhh. It's past 2am here, I've stayed up far too late to watch this, but it's all worth it!

    kennedy17782's picture

    Still hilarious

    Even though you guys may have felt off your game this week, you all still had me laughing my head off.  I loved the re-enactment and Bridget's impromptu appearance (and subsequent bra removal) as well as Jill's "Grandma Sandwich" line.   

    After watching the episode each week, my girlfriend and I always say how "We can't wait to see what We're Getting Nowhere has to say about it!"  It goes to show that even on an off day, you guys still knock it out of the park!

    I can't wait for next week (Hopefully Dara won't catch the cold next!) and the special suprise guest.  Keep up the great work ladies!

    "Why do sometimes they do it?"

    I often wonder that myself.

    One of the best vlogs ever, very erratic and absolutely hilarious.

    Susi's picture

    So NOT the worst vlog ever

    I don't believe any vlog with the three of you, and with Bridget doing a guestappearance, could be bad. It was still hilarious and as always it's the best entertainment of the week.
    Sandra2611's picture

    what

    does Jills sweater say? ive been trying to read it during the whole vlog lol

    anyways LOVED the vlog, one of my favs :D you guys are awesome <3

    yay Bridget <3 i cannot get enough of her, she should be in all the vlogs ;)
    chloe121212's picture

    I think it says..

     "Don't f--k with the ladies" with tape over the "u" I'm not really sure though

    "I don't kiss girls who wear doilies"

     

    kal3m's picture

    buwahahaha

    I definitely should not have watched this at work. I kept having to stifle my laughter under the guise of coughs and sighs. Clearly the urge to guffaw along with you was stronger than my abilities to contain myself. Y'all are hilarious. 

    and Bridget... I too have that bra and am currently wearing it at work.

    Oh it's the little things that make everyone at work think I'm nuts.

    Todays WGN Vlog

    I wish we had seen the first ten minutes, never mind.  I really enjoyed watching this today (I always do), and the appearance of Bridget just added to the relaxed and humorous atmosphere of the vlog. I would like to see more Bridget on WGN.  I totally understand where Jill is coming from regarding the coasters and shoes on furniture.  It bugs me no end when people are standing on my furniture, or leaving marks here there and everywhere from food or whatever and people if there are coasters use them if not hold your drink, do not put it on my floor, it may spill.  Loving Jill as usual and always will.  Love you lots Jill xx

    Dara, Karman, Jill, Bridget

    That was SO good, a gleam of hope in the dull everyday life :-)

    Tanks so much!

    milena87's picture

    That was great!

    I loved it!!

    The reenactments were hilarious and you almost killed me with the last one, poor Max lol ç_ç

    The terrible three, Bridget, supercute diva cat...how can it not be great?

    WindRyderX's picture

    Questions...

    Is it me or are most of the vlogs on AfterEllen this week really random, spontaneous, wacky, and unscripted?... more than usual I mean. And how many ppl actually watch the L-Word before they watch WGN cause in my case...I only watch WGN and never the actual show lol. Is that normal? oh yea, nice job ladies and the sock puppets are still rockin. Bridget showing up was awesome, she should go on a mission to pop-up in every vlog on AfterEllen, she's probably half way there by now...
    frosti3000's picture

    haha, great as usual....

    haha, great as usual.... love Jill's english accent, and the whole end scene with the puppets, your a genius whichever one  of your thought that up!!

    oh and Karman was very cute and funny this week!! You guy's rock!

    talice07's picture

    LMAO!!

    As always you guys have delivered yet another truly funny Vlog.  It didnt even matter that you did not make a whole lot of sense just watching you makes me lmao everytime.

    Thanks for bringing Bridget on the show I think you should have her on more often however its a shame we could not see much of you Bridget. Cool bra! That could fit my head as a hat. I am not saying anything about your size cos I think I have a freakishly small head maybe, but I am also a big girl not that there is anything wrong with being abit top heavy (*puzzled look on my face*).

    Anyway as always keep up the good work guys look forward to your next one. I think I have stopped watching TV because of you, is that sad?

    Out of control, in a good way

    Hahah you guys are just as awesome as always, even when it's completely out of control (that makes it even funnier).
    That last sockpuppet reenactment had me laughing so much =)
    'You have any lines?'
    ''Girl!She Bitches!'That's all.' 
    And I like it when Bridget makes no sense, it's cute.
    Feel better soon Karman! =)

    I'm going crazy...

    Off your game?? Pshhh You girls are never boring. Dooon't worry.

    But...Is it just my computer or does the lighting in the room seem to randomly fluctuate?

    Trix's picture

    It's if they hold their notes up

    The whiteness of the paper changes the white balance in the shot, so the vidcam tries to compensate. It gets darker when they hold the sheet of paper up (since there's so much white on the screen then), and lightens again when the paper gets laid down again (or at least isn't held up perpendicular to the camera).
    Berna's picture

    LOL

    what a crazy vlog! Entertainment just the way I like it. Once again you managed to make me laugh out loud at my computer a few times. Thanks for letting lovely Luna guest star for a bit again. Love that cat.

    The reenactment was awesome. I just love it whenever Jill starts yelling and giving us a even more wicked Jenny, lol. Also loved the "extras holding area" at the end, hee. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that actually happens there.

    Hmm, who's going to be the special guest star?!

    Great stuff, see ya next week!

    B.

    Jill, bossy?

    Me too, love whenever Jill starts yelling during the re-enactment...

    Jill, i don't mind for being bossy to me:P

    Omega II's picture

    ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! *explode*

    Poor Max, where is he?

    Bridget dies, again! She is up to 4 obituaries.

    In the Kit/Shane scene, you forgot Shane mentioning getting the She-bitches whacked, and then Kit actually thinks about it.

    The trainwreck did mess with the flow some, but y'all still delivered greatness.

    Fav Lines-

    Karman: It turned into a Mentos commercial.

    Jill: Chane

    Dara: Gonna get my hand up in Kit.

    Bridget: Auvoir ciao.

    A lesbian and a woman ...

    not necessarily the same thing on this show. Lisa anyone?

    Isolating Tasha may have been a waste of Rose Rollins talent, but I thought it was quite fitting consindering her storyline.

    Last I heard The-Artist-Formerly-Known-As-Bitch (TAFKAB?) was going by 'Capital B' ... not quite sure if that's an improvement.

    Loved the 'Extras Holding Area' bit (especially Jill's 'Grrl ... shebitches')!!! The L Word so needs more Kit ... and definately more Max.

    kiss_hester's picture

    OMG that ending

    OMG that ending was brilliant! Dara, you're so funny! <3 Ever thought of doing stand-up?:p

    Living_Loud's picture

    Great!

    That was great fun! I don't think you'll get fired...yet...:P

    The 'extras holding area' bit was genius, Dara's interpretation of Max is hysterical - and somewhat accurate.

    Garage Door Whisperer's picture

    Dara's Max

    is always more entertaining than the real Max. "Wanna play a game or something?" And the sighing. So much more entertaining than the real Max and his horribly weak-no-nonexistent storyline. <sigh>  Not that I was ever a Max fan, but still...  On second thought, everyone has been so mean to Max when he did show up it's probably better that he stays away.  If only for his sake.  

     

    hinterguxli_CH's picture

    <3 dara & dara's max

    makes you just wanna give'em a big hug! but yeah, probably better for max' sake not to appear with those current nasty story lines the gang are getting fed these days! sympathy for max - although i wouldn't really consider myself a max fan.

    those sock puppets are so damn cute, esp. when they are in the end of the blog/the cut-outs (?)! well done to all hands and voices!

    ... singin' 'rudolph, the red nosed reindeer'!

    Harpy's picture

    Whee!

    OMG I totally thought Karman was Tina!  It was like twins!

    And seriously, I can so see Jenny telling the Lez Girls actresses to douche...  That was wicked funny.

    Definitely agree that Dara is awesome being Puppet Max.  That kills me everytime.

    Good stuff again.  :)

    never boring

    Yah for saying it jill. the word 'meta' bugs me too.

    Wait is that Bridget.

    I too thought Begona would have a bigger part and once again there's an episode where she just pops in and out. It seems like she's the token diversity character.

    I finaly just got all the Bride of Frankenstien references. It occured to me i had seen Beals in a Frankenstein movie, turns out it's 1985's The Bride  where she plays a woman created by Fankenstein.

    I love when Bridget tells Karmen 'get outta here' about the popcorn.

    The 2nd half of the vlog was pretty fun like you guys got an energy burst. I guess Bridget is like Redbull. That being said the whole vlog was really funny.

    My bed to me is like Jill's couch. I hate people putting their feet on it or keys or almost anything. I'm like i don't know where it's been.

    You crazy ladies...

    Because of you, I had coffee come out of my nose. That's how hard you made me laugh at the end of the vlog. ... a coffee nose douche..

    I wonder

    I wonder what Jill's shirt was all about...does anyone a) have amazing vision b) has seen that shirt before? All I could see was a gun...or at least I think it was a gun.

    Also, very funny week ladies! Everyone was a little loopier then normal and I loved that.

    1charlie's picture

    awesome shirt!

    i think it says "Don't F*ck with the ladies" :P
