Whatever Happened to Predictability? The Iron Man, The Captain America, Wanda Maximoff?
Thor went to work at a 9-5 job earlier this year. Now, Marvel’s Avengers have perfected the functionality of a time machine.
A nostalgic time machine, to be precise.
(Yes, actress Elizabeth Olsen’s sisters are Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen from the sitcom Full House)
If this doesn’t put a smile on your face to start the week, I’m not sure what will.
The ’80s and ’90s hold a special place in people’s hearts for a variety of reasons. One of these reasons centers on the wholesome, family-friendly sitcoms. Full House certainly falls in the category of a TV show beloved by many, many fans. The deft editing by YouTube user “Zach Ace” (as seen above) played on the family-like dynamic of the Marvel cinematic universe. Interweaving people or superhero characters into opening credits like Full House isn’t a new phenomenon, but the take by “Zach Ace” is pretty spot-on.
On the one hand, could you imagine if Marvel’s marketing department used this video, in some way, to promote a new film or an announcement related to its films? On the other hand, who would’ve thought that Full House and Iron Man would be go together like a Hawaiian vacation and a clipboard of fun?
Danny Tanner, sure, but he’s the one with the clipboard of fun things to do.
Netflix’s House Just Got Fuller
It might finally be time to bite the bullet and subscribe to Netflix.
With an increasing list of television hits in its digital portfolio (House of Cards, Arrested Development, Orange is the New Black), this streaming media service continues to provide consumers with acclaimed, award-winning content. And to prove its cultural awareness and high-quality prowess, it was announced ~12 hours ago on Jimmy Kimmel Live! by John Stamos (“Uncle Jesse”) that Netflix has signed on with a 13-episode order of a spinoff to the 1980s-1990s sitcom smash hit, Full House.
The spinoff will be deftly titled, Fuller House.
Without diving into a thesis on the incomparable nature, influence and surreal number of amazingly timeless sitcoms from the mid-1980s-mid-2000s, this move by the original cast and creators of Full House is a wonderful decision and revival to a series not forgotten by fans for one second since its series finale on May 23, 1995.
There’s only one thing that can be said now: Have Mercy!
Sorry, I’ll cut-it-out. I know, I know, how rude!
I was just reading from my Clipboard of Fun.
Bottom line: Will I watch, Fuller House?
You got it, dude!
Three Men and a Man Child
There are some nights when we just can’t fall asleep. The cause could be a myriad of reasons, like stress for the upcoming day, nightmares from a movie or anxiety about taking over the most iconic late night show in television history.
All that needs to be said for the video below is that we’re never too old for our teddy bear and a nice, soothing nostalgic sing-a-long from the guys and days of “predictability, the milk man, the paperboy, evening T.V.”
A “Full House” is always the best.
Always!
Everywhere you look (everywhere)
There’s a heart (there’s a heart)
A hand to hold on to.
Everywhere you look (everywhere)
There’s a face of somebody who needs you
Now this is worthy of the top-shelf on Throwback Thursday!
