This morning,
Mr. Lackey touched on the self-canceling nature of
Frank Caliendo's apology. For the second consecutive baseball postseason, Frank TV commercials have carped-bombed the baseball-watching experience, and Caliendo expresses remorse. In the same breath, though, he suggests that it wouldn't be advertised so much if the ratings were higher.
Math time. I think it's fair to say that Frank TV gets twenty thirty-second slots per game. Multiply that by, say, four games you might watch in a week on TBS. From commercials alone, that's 40 minutes of Frank TV. Nearly two episodes' worth. I believe we have already paid our Caliendo tax, sir.
Regardless, he
is capable of the occasional funny impression, so I have allowed him to perform today's Dugout! It's after the jump.
The Dugout
 |
LargeHadronCaliendo: Hey folks! Frank Caliendo here! You may recognize me from "every time you open your eyes"
|
 |
LargeHadronCaliendo: You may also recognize me from "most every time you close your eyes"
|
 |
LargeHadronCaliendo: I also was recently featured in "that dream you always have where you're falling," in which I play "guy who shoves you out of the airplane"
|
 |
LargeHadronCaliendo: So, let's get to it! A Dugout, brought to you by the man of a million faces!
|
 |
LargeHadronCaliendo: Ahem.

JIM THOME

 |
WordUpThome: NOW THAT THAT'S OUT OF THE WAY, I'LL ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE WITH A "STRAIGHT MAN," AND RARELY ANSWER HIS STATEMENTS DIRECTLY, INSTEAD EMBARKING UPON A SEPARATE AND PERPENDICULAR LINE OF MONOLOGUE
|
 |
Elijah_Price: I'm the straight man. It doesn't seem like you're even comprehending what I'm saying, but I'm going to keep talking as if you are.
|
 |
WordUpThome: SOMETHING TO WRAP UP MY CIRCUITOUS MONOLOGUE, WRITTEN IN A MANUFACTURED ATTEMPT TO ELICIT SENTIMENT AND EMOTIONAL GRAVITY

|
 |
pr0FF3ss0r_F4rnsw0rth: and answered with further homophobia
|
 |
JetersNeverProsper: I am another "straight man," and serve to offer validation of this homosexual plot angle by being a "normal gay guy"
|
 |
JetersNeverProsper: which, in turn, is also kind of bigoted on a level of its own
welp
|

JetersNeverProsper: /sexual encounter
