hollybrooke: (Jem and Pizzazz "Bitch please!")
I really had to sit down and think hard about which episode I wanted to snark on next, and the inspiration came to me as I was at work the other day, ringing people up for various barbecue products. Since it is summertime after all, people are firing up their grills and eating and eating and eating. EAT, DAMMIT!



Yumness. So I bring you today's episode: "The World Hunger Shindig." In which horrendous 80s country-Western-type style presides over the whole episode, and apparently there's something involving charity, too. CUE THE THEME SONG!



This fierce, meat-eating bitch invites you in:


The only thing I give for free is attitude! )

Saint Jerrica thanks you for your time.



"Outrageous" count: one
How many times did Jerrica/Jem transform in this episode: one (that we actually saw)
hollybrooke: (Jem and Pizzazz "Bitch please!")
Do I need to include the theme song with every snark?

..........YES. Now run, grab some cookies and milk, and plop your butt in front of the computer. It's time for "Jem"!



Today's episode: "In Stitches." It's a fashion-centric episode, so things are going to be all sorts of........



FI-ERCE!

I can be beautiful or truly outrageous, it all depends on the mood I'm in. )

"Outrageous" count: one
Aja blue-orange contrast count: one
How many times did Jerrica transform into Jem this episode?: four

Thank you for reading! Stay outrageous!

So I was debating whether I wanted to continue with the snarks show-order as they appear on the DVD set, or if I wanted to do one that fit the Memorial Day holiday. Because guess what's going on today down in Indianapolis. THE 500.



CUE THE THEME SONG!



This is one of my favorite 'Jem' episodes. Not EVEN gonna lie. And with SCREENCAPS, too! *squee!* )


I might have another one up by next week. We'll see. Stay outrageous, yo!

And here's some blue-orange contrast for you people who follow ONTD:



BTW, did anyone else notice that Jerrica never once said "Showtime Synergy" in this episode?! Just that "auto-mechanic" crap! WTF?!

Last time on "Jem," Emmett Benton died and left his daughter Jerrica a house that's falling apart and half the family business; Eric Raymond made himself plenty comfortable at Starlight Music; the Misfits came and acted like the fabulous bitches they are, and pissed Jerrica off; Jerrica got a pair of earrings; pair of earrings ended up being remote controls for a hologram machine; Jerrica disguised herself as a fancy-schmancy pink-haired singer named Jem and crashed the Battle of the Bands with her friends and lil' sister; Eric challenged Jerrica to a contest; the Misfits nearly ran Jem and the Holograms off the road; Jerrica saved the day with a hologram, but Rio was the one who pulled the girls to safety; Eric hired a thug to break into Jerrica's foster home; Jerrica cockblocked Rio; there was a FIRE!!!

Was that it? I hope that was it.

Episode Two on the DVD opens with that "me and my girls are Jem-girls" theme that I HAAAATE.


Ah. Much better. I just try to convince myself that they didn't make a new Jem theme.

The show actually opens with a quickie recap of what happened last episode. (I just DID a quickie recap! *le sigh*) Starlight House is still burning, and Jerrica and the gang are quickly trying to get the Starlight Girls out of the house. Great. Just great. Not only did she inherit a house that was pretty much falling apart, now it caught fire and THEY'VE LOST EVERYTHING! Could things get any worse for Jerrica now? Read more... )

(I should warn you guys. I have a very subversive sense of humor. That, and in these recaps, Rio's generally going to be a typical red-blooded horn-dog male in his early 20s who can't control his raging manhood.)

Castles! Flying carpets! Rainbows! Unicorns! Sunken treasure! Dancing in the clouds! Shirtless Rio! This is the stuff a six-year-old girl dreams about!

Read more... )

HEY JERRICA, NOW MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO TELL RIO THAT YOU'RE REALLY JEM, HUH?! Ya think?! Read more... )

STAY TUNED FOR EPISODE THREE--"KIMBER'S REBELLION"!

And to wrap up this recap....I give you "Rio" by Duran Duran. Because of the yacht party scene.



(BTW, before I close, I must mention that all screencaps for this and for the previous recap are from here. Gotta give credit where credit's due, yo)

And no, not "Rock of Love Bus" snark (which I still intend to do). But I'm finally sitting myself down to do some snarking of my absolute favorite cartoon ever!




About freaking time, I say!

So I put the first disc of the DVD set in my player to settle down and start watching, because frankly (for the purpose of the groups I post in), I need to get reacquainted with the show. And what bothers the living crap out of me is that for the VERY FIRST EPISODE, they have replaced the original "Jem is truly outrageous!" theme song with that "Me and my friends are Jem girls" crap. You know, the non-gender specific one. My inner six-year-old is dying. This was NOT the original theme song, for crying out loud.

Oh hell. Here's the original theme song. If Rhino was going to do something, they could've at least done it right, you'd think:



Now is it me, or did the animation in the opening sequence alone seem better than the actual show animation? Big deal, when I was a kid, I wasn't paying attention to that stuff. I'd be running home after school because "OMG! JEM'S ON!" and turn on channel 9 (WGN) and plop my butt down in front of the TV to get my fill because I CAN'T MISS THE THEME SONG!!!! That theme song is EVERYTHING! You know why? Because Jem is outrageous. Truly, truly outrageous.

Anyway, let's get to the actual show. Read more... )

The first "pissy Rio moment" in the show, I LOVE IT! Read more... )

Jerrica's all, "What the crap IS this?!" Read more... )

Roxy: "So what? We're the Misfits!"
Stormer: "You can't tell us what to do!"
Pizzazz: "Stay out of my way, or else!"
Jerrica: "Or else what?"

Or else they'll break into song, that's what! Read more... )

Jerrica just got pwned. Read more... )

It's the ghost of Christmas past! Read more... )

So she introduces herself and the band as Jem and the Holograms. Wowee. Original. *slow golf clap* Read more... )Who's da man?Read more... )

Man, it'd be something if life was like this. Everyone erupts into a music video when you get in the middle of a conversation. Read more... )

STAY TUNED FOR THE RECAP OF "DISASTER"! Until then, stay outrageous!
