Another year I'm wrong it seems :(

Dude, she's too old for you...give it up. :D

So you didn't watch the show. Why exactly then are you here? This discussion is for people who did. At least we have something to add to this thread. You on the otherhand......

Telling us to stop bitching indeed.

I loved what my friend had to say about Britney on last night's show, and I quote her: I was hoping to catch it just to see if one of the big cats would suddenly go burserk onstage and maul the fugly bitch to death before her adoring pre-teen audience, but alas, the Lord works in mysterious ways.

The funniest people of the night:

1. Ben Stiller (rotfl)

2. Jamie Foxx (the whole "cocky" skit was funny, and also the Suge Knight comment)

3. The Dog (He said to Carson..."you must be hung like a great dane" rotfl)

There were other funny spots in the show

The fact that talent like Craig David, Alicia Keys and even Gorillaz got overlooked is another sign of MTV's fault at this whole web-voting thing. Ridiculous. Oh and nice makeup...uhh, I mean bullet wounds, yeah bullet wounds.

That's Mudvayne, and they've got a few more than 100 fans. I feel the MTV2 award was supposed to be for a video shown only on a real video channel that probably wouldn't be up for any other awards, not overplayed videos like the ones you've mentioned. Seeing Mudvayne on stage was refreshing after the NStink overload. I wouldn't pay a quarter to see Alicia Keys eat a bale of hay. I can't understand what people see in her, maybe I'm just getting old. And that H to the izzo, V to the izza sheeeit, it seems to me that most rappers nowadays are talentless thugs. Again, maybe I'm getting old, or maybe rap is just getting tiring. I only tuned in to see Dave Matthews Band get screwed again, and see Britney, but I missed seeing Britney. At least that Fatboy Slim video did well. And I did see Staind.

I 100% agree with you. The MTV2 award was about bands that MTV2 really helped get popular 'cause MTV would never play them.
MuDvAyNe winning a award was the only thing I found entertaining about the show

ClarkKentKY 09-08-01 01:10 AM

I think Moby was the only sane person there. And Triumph was the only funny gag.

Goldberg74 09-08-01 11:20 AM

I read somewhere that Triumph ripped on J-Lo so hard that she got up and left and never came back. What did the little mutt say?

whitetigeress 09-08-01 11:55 AM

I totally think that the awards sucked this year. Except for the Alica Keys performance. If only popstars like Britney, Christina, and N-stink could be as talented as she is.

"Ohhh, oh JLo.. JLo... please please.. Let me sniff your butt."

Then she pushed him away in diva fashion... Triumph goes back to carson daly and says

"Carson, Carson, she doesn't understand man.. For a dog, that would be like climbing Mt everest"

Carson daly is crying laughing at this point, cause he realizes a dog puppet has more talent than him.

ClarkKentKY 09-08-01 01:20 PM

oh and i know you love this for a transistion

Announcer: "tracy chapman called, she wants her fast car back. And now, dale earnhardt Jr."


A tracy chapman joke.. good job, send it back to 1992, although its not a funny joke, so it's probably not wanted back then either.

Daytripper 09-08-01 02:53 PM

Yeah, what the hell is up with all those tired jokes? Michael Jackson and kids. Bill Clinton. Tracy Chapman (!?) THIS is the best they could come up with?? Stunned they didn't do a Ted Kennedy joke or goof on Alice Cooper.

ClarkKentKY 09-08-01 04:36 PM

yeah and the president shortening his name to "G dummy"

Okay listen closely.. especially you Leno.. We get it!.. he's not a bright man... drop it.

Daytripper 09-08-01 05:56 PM

Oh, I don't know ClarkKent. I still think there's a little more mileage left ragging on Dub'ya (or should that be duh-b'ya?). I mean, he hasn't been in office a year yet ;) But I forgot about the G dummy "joke". Oh the pain. Did *anyone* in the audience laugh at that one!?

This discussion is for whoever the hell wants to say something. And the reason I initially checked this thread out is to see if anything cool or unexpected happened, like the Ramones being introduced or D. Lee Roth taking the stage with Van Halen, both of which were kept secret. All I'm saying is this channel has for the most part been a showcase for mediocrity for the past ten years. We all know this and yet some people continue to watch, maybe they're masochists or something. The whole "MTV Sucks!" thing is so tired it's comatose. CHANGE THE CHANNEL.

And she continues to make friends at an astounding pace ...

And you had absolutely nothing to say. You didn't even watch the show at all. You just came in on a discussion and told everyone to stop bitching. You don't like what's being said? Why don't YOU change the channel? Now get lost.

Dr. DVD 09-09-01 05:57 PM

Wow. I didn't think people would still be posting here, but then again MTV is playing this show over and over to the point that it's annoying. MTV has no orginality anymore.

The only thing that keeps me coming back to this thread is to see how much farther a certain member can put her foot deeper into her mouth ...

big whoppa 09-11-01 07:28 AM

Let me get in the last comment.

Jamie Fox sucked. Hate the egotistical bastard anyway. Also too-mean-spirited. Fortunately, he didn't appear very much after the first hour. I hope MTV realizes they hired a dud as well as an A-hole. And I thought Andy Dick would be obnoxious. In small doses such as his Daphne Aguilera get-up, he can be funny.

Triumph was too hilarious. He would make the ideal host.

Will Ferrell is good but the climb wasn't very unexpected. Not all that funny.

Britney Spears looked great. The mic is ridiculous when it is pretty obvious that she is lip-synching to the entire song. And the song is the worst one yet. Maybe this will be the final nail in her coffin.

I didn't know MJ would be making an appearance. Nice to see him even if he was only dancing.

None of the performances stood out although I enjoyed Missy's "Get your freak on." I don't care for Alicia Key's "Fallin." Nothing special about "Pop."

whitetigeress 09-11-01 08:19 PM

OMG how could you not like Alica Keys. She is so talented. Did you hear her play the Piano????

big whoppa 09-13-01 04:01 AM

Yes, she can play Beethoven. Many other pianists can do that too. Alicia Keys may be a very skilled pianist and a good singer (I haven't heard any other song) but I don't care for that single.

Wormwood 09-13-01 09:36 AM

big whoppa, if you listen closely to Britney's performance you cannot once hear the audience say anything. To me it sounds like MTV overdubbed her performance with the real song just so we can hear it clearer, that's why it looks like she's lip synching.

Fielding Mellish 09-13-01 03:22 PM


I read somewhere that Triumph ripped on J-Lo so hard that she got up and left and never came back.
That must explain why MTV overdubbed the comment when the show was rerun last weekend. Too bad. It was the one funny moment of the entire evening.

All hail Triumph!
