The Drew Carey Show MEGATHREAD

[aRTie02150]

Sometimes it was better than Seinfeld and I have some of my fondest memories from this show.

From the King of the Hill megathread, because I want to know if anyone remembers this shit or if I'm just fucked in the head:

Does anyone remember the weird April Fools Day episodes where there was wacky, out of place shit going on in the background? Or the weird Whose Line crossover episodes? I'm pretty sure I remember some interactive kind of episode where you had to find letters or something in the scenes that would spell something out. I think that's all later season stuff though. Still, that show was an event every week for me. I loved it. I literally get a warm feeling in my chest thinking about it like I'm thinking about hugging my grandma or something.

This was shortly after Drew Carey starred in 2000's "Gepetto"

WWAWD King of the Hill?

WWAWD King of the Hill?

Oh, actually Artie started this thread because the King of the Hill thread he started got kinda hijacked by Drewposting. There's also been a few KOTH threads started by @T...hey wait a minute!

WWAWD King of the Hill?

Look we can get to that after we finally sit down and discuss WWAWD Redbar.

Yeah but WWReallyAWD Ween?

Good question. Let's start some variation of a guilty pleasures thread about it.

Love Drew. I’m surprised it’s not on any of the streaming services because it was fairly popular in it’s day. It had great mean humour between Drew, Mimi, and Nigel.

I remember one bit where Lewis called Drew and when asked what he was doing, Lewis said something like “just dancing in the window in my underwear. You?” and the camera cuts to Drew who is doing the same thing and he says “oh nothing”.

I found that fawkin’ hilarious back in the day.

Also I’ve said it before but with the episode on workplace sensitivity/cancel culture, the microbrewery arc, the online store, the crossdressing brother, it was ahead of it’s time.

They also had good intros with Cleveland Rocks and 5 o’clock world.

Or the weird Whose Line crossover episodes?

I always wanted Diedrich Baeder and Craig Ferguson to show up on Whose Line because I thought they were both good at the improv tasks.

I'm pretty sure they had issues with a lot of copyrighted music that kept it off of DVD/streaming

Ribs. Warm ribs.

Ribs. Warm ribs.

I like that Drew just had his pants around his ankles, ready to pull them up at moment's notice.

 

[aRTie02150]

One thing I always remember is the specific canned laughter they had. There was always a "hey hey" laugh, including in the one clip I just posted. As Drew pulls his pants up you hear it. That same laugh is used constantly throughout the series.

 

[Meownaw]

Just started Season 1 and it's so refreshing how mean spirited it is compared to shitty sitcoms today. The Mimi bashing is rib smashing so far. All fawkin in.

Great show. Carey is one of the funniest comics ever. He's managed to avoid being cancelled and has had a steady paycheck for a long time. Real Brothaman for sure!
