“In the kitten calendar business, the pussies belong in FRONT of the camera!” — Robert James Bachman
With the possible exception of David Spade’s “There I Said It” segments on “The Showbiz Show”, the funniest three minutes of television in each of the last three weeks have come courtesy of Acceptable.tv’s Operation Kitten Calendar. Not only does Justin Roiland’s portrayal of the Trump-esque kitten calendar mogul Robert James Bachman render Darrell Hammond’s spot-on-yet-strangely-lifeless impression of The Donald TOTALLY obsolete, anyone who even casually observes media will be blown away by the Russian nesting doll meta-ness of the show’s overall conceit (a elimination-centric mini-show that lives within an elimination-centric larger show). As much as your Uncle Grambo loved “Medical Hospital” and “Joke Chasers”, there’s no denying that the first three episodes of “Operation Kitten Calendar” have been the most perfectly executed Acceptable shows to date. Here’s hoping that the audience votes “OKC” back again this week!
If you haven’t already seen them, be sure and watch Episode 1 and Episode 2 before watching Episode 3 below. Now KISS MY ASS!

Do I spy Shuzuki Thornbird from “Your Magic Has Touched Me”?

I know you work on this show and all, but come on, that shit isn’t funny. The Dr. Phil skit from last week was way better.

Yeah, that’s Ryan “Shizuki Thornbird” Nagata. And that’s actually his grandmother in episode two.

C’mon, you undermine your credibility as a deliverer of PHC when you shill for your job.

Just want to make sure we’re crystal about something here. I wrote about VH1 before I worked here, I’ll write about VH1 while I work here, and I’ll write about VH1 after I’m through working here, so don’t go accusing me of shilling just because I think “Operation Kitty Calendar” is hilarious. As long as the network puts out good shows, I’ll talk about them here on whatevs (dot org). We cool?

Kitties are good.
Mr. Sprinkles is not.
Shady Acres was one of the best things I’ve seen on TV this year.

Dudes, that was hilermo! I linked the hell out of that shit over at my spot.
PS: Shilling is actually kind of hot in a “someone’s got a decently paying day job” way.
