Are my songs hard to win?; KEVIN: They don't have any Jumpstart Malady stuff on here, dad. |comic strip | panel 3 - KEVIN: I wonder why not...; KEVIN: Well, perhaps they recognize how mind-numbingly VAPID, VACUOUS and VACANT your songs are. |comic strip | panel 4 - KEVIN: ExCUSE me?; KEVIN: I'm sorry... Did my alliteration confuse you? |

Whatever it takes

Published on Sep 13th, 2009

comic strip | panel 1 - KEVIN: Rita, do me a favor. I'm on my way to see my kid...; RITA: Yes, sir? |comic strip | panel 2 - KEVIN: Can you pick me up a copy of our Jumpstart Malady Guitar Hero game and meet me there?; RITA: Yes, sir. |comic strip | panel 3 - KEVIN: I gotta get this kid to love me, Boz. I'll buy whatever it takes...; BOZ: I dunno, money can't buy you love, sir. |comic strip | panel 4 - KEVIN: I didn't know black people KNEW the Beatles, Boz.; BOZ: Well, we stick to the ones Teddy Riley covered... |

I think when we all heard “Can’t Buy Me Love”, our first thought was, “This NEEDS to be a slow jam.”

Blackstreet – “(Money Can’t) Buy Me Love” [Download mp3]

Also, Teddy, you effed up the parenthetical, man. You stress “buy me love”, turning the chorus of the song into a plea for hassle-free prostitution.

A present

comic strip | panel 1 - KEVIN: Ted, I know you love music games, so I got you something... that's gonna blow your mind!; TED: You got me Rock Band Beatles! |comic strip | panel 2 - TED: Oh... No. This is some shitty Jumpstart Malady version of Guitar Hero... |comic strip | panel 3 - TED: Of course that makes sense given you're IN Jumpstart Malady. |comic strip | panel 4 - TED: Well, I'd love to feign interest here, dad, but I think it'd be insulting for both of us. |
