Angry Young Men

There comes a time in every young man's life when he must ask the question: am I angry? Yes, my son, you are f*&#%@! pissed. So how did you get to this point, with such anger you feel the need to rant on a reality tv show, on Fox, at 9pm Tuesdays EST, 8pm CST? Well, getting good ratings for the f*&#%@! network is one reason. Another is that you didn't take your pills. But, beneath all that bullshit, the real reason you're f*&#%@! pissed is that life is so full of f*&#%@! iPhones and twitter and reality tv shows about people other than you. And being the narcissist your father always thought you could be, you want to make a difference for all the poor dumb, angry bastards other than you.

Angry Young Men debuts this Tuesday, as holiday anxiety and f*&#%@! snow is the perfect reason to be right, f*&#%@! pissed. The show focuses on the life of Chad, an angry young asshole who recently choked his best friend over a minor dispute. Finding that all his friends left him, for various reasons, including death and sexual harassment, he sets out to find the meaning of friendship by swearing, yelling, and tugging the hair of complete strangers along with perusing gay goth record stores. He also watches repeats of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and eats chicken wings to get himself into the angry mood. This all leads to an ultimate realization in the pilot: his life f*&#%@! sucks. Episode two also includes a major realization: reality tv f*&#%@! sucks.

More on this f*&#%@! gay donkey show next week, when it will already be cancelled as a preemptive strike in the name of common decency.

  1. Thanks for the great first post, Angry TV Maven. Your broad knowledge of American culture should help our blog gain support and $$$.

    I've heard of this Chad character. He looks like a jerk.
