Business…check out the Charles Barkley World Tour.
So last night’s Flavor of Love might have been the best ever. Not so much because there was lots of screamin, hollerin and fighting. It was just because New York’s mama showed up.
Here’s the best I can do on making it clear what I like so much about when she shows up.
Almost all season, FoL is like an Ace Ventura-era Jim Carrey movie. In those movies, it’s always obvious that Carrey’s characters are batshit bonkers. But everyone in the flick just laughs it off. Never does it get mentioned that Ace or whoever is out of his friggin mind. Not once. And there’s no way someone could be that nuts and no one bat an eye. Really, how many friends would Ace Ventura really have?
But when New York’s mama shows up, the movie turns into The Cable Guy (which is still my favorite Carrey movie). The Cable Guy was the first Carrey movie where he played one of these bonkers characters and everyone looks around and says, “yo, what’s up with yo boy?” It was the first of those Carrey movies that really had a dose of reality. And to me, reality is one of the funniest things going. Also one of the most tragic, but that’s neither here nor there.
So when New York’s mother comes on the show and is totally mortified that her daughter is embarrassing her on national television by cuttin’ up behind Flavor Fuckin Flav, the show gets a needed dose of realism. For this to work and not look entirely staged, someone has to step up and say, “this is crazy.”
And that’s what New York’s mama is. It’s perfect.
That said, I’m sure that her “I’m gonna die soon” schpiel was manufactured by the producers. The way it flowed didn’t seem realistic at all. But the rest? I really think all of this makes her wanna vomit.
And her simp husband? He’s just happy that he gets to sleep in the house.
Last FoL note–am I think only person that thought Flav looked like a real live minstreal in that white tux? I was waiting on him to shake his hands on one knee.

Yep-New York’s mama admitted that she was lying. Anyway, mortified about her daughter dating Flavor or not–neither of them are setting the world on fire. I have a sneaky little suspicion that both New York and her snotty mama think themselves better (classier, etc) than most. New York ruined that when she prounced the word sliced, ‘slicked’. Get your money back from acting class and your third grade teacher my friend.

Flavor of Love is my guilty pleasure.
New York and her mama are one and the same…Drag Queens with really bad weaves.
I try to imagine my mother’s reaction if I brought this man home…eeww! Talk about being talked about. If my mother were dead, she would turn over in her grave at the thought of me procreating with that man.
Flav should pick New York just so we can have another over the top show starring Flav with his man New York, starring New Yorks crazy mother. I say bring it on.

Yeah that show is so good and terrible. Did you see how New York’s simp daddy had that itty bitty ponytail in the back. That might have been the funniest thing I’ve seen in quite some time. Good lord.

New York’s mama is the real deal!! She’s angry and embrassed!!
New York lost all that weight and now she look like those aren’t cigarettes that she’s been smoking… if she is willing to act a fool like that on national television two seasons in a row, then hey go for it!
I believe that all this is scripted by the producers and they are pulling Flava’s strings like he is a puppet. In the end, they will decided who wins and who goes home, just like last season!

Yo Bo! Out of Yosemite now… I’m in Longhorm country for this week. Uuugh… Gotta look past all the orange.
Anyway, as for this comment:
“…the movie turns into The Cable Guy (which is still my favorite Carrey movie).”
That was the role he was born to play. I loved it when he dunked on Jack Black. And of course, his karaoke rendition on the Jefferson Airplane song, priceless!
Anyway, will catch up on your Page 2 article. Thanks for the heads up!

The whole show is Minstrel. New York is way over the top and she needs to get that weight back so her head will look a lil less Barry Bonds…I’ll say it again and again i hope he is getting paid for the straight coonery.

I didn’t see it that way at all. NYM (New Yorks mama) seemed just as up for the camera time as anyone else. The histrionics, the protesting wasn’t of the concept of the show…it was of Flav. i am sure if it was the Kanye West of Love…she woulda been ok with it. What got me is how Krazy’s mom and gramma played along. Delicious’ mother and father seemed to be taking one for their daughter…trying to say and do as little as possible.
the minstrel undercurrent could power a small city.

Sorry baba….I just can’t get myself to watch either Flavor of Love or the WWE now…when I feel like watching a train wreck…um I’ll just stick to my personal fav.. CHEATERS..
BTW: I’m working on a Favre piece to question Bret’s “greatness.” Anything you’d like to add?s

Nobody has made the 2 most important points about NY/Tiffany’s mama:
1) Look how much uglier NY COULD have been!
2) “You’re trying to destroy me!”
