My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss

I’m a big fan of comeuppance.

I think it’s from being an early fan of The Twilight Zone as well as being raised Catholic, a religion summed up with the phrase Just you wait, you’ll get yours.

And that is why I loved My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance. You see: I like seeing shallow, vaccuous assholes suffering. I loved seeing the bleach blond fake baked beeyatch being tortured by her ridiculously misbehaved faux fiance for a measley fortune. I like seeing people being tortured because they’re so greedy. Similarly, I’d enjoy seeing Kenneth Lay crawl through a big trough with his hands tied behind his back while picking up spare change with his teeth to pay his rent. But I can only dream.

And that is why I like My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss. I’d much rather watch star-whoring over-achievers aspire to some false notion of celebrity or award than the real thing. I have trouble watching The Apprentice – I become absolutely hypnotized by Donald Trump’s hair which seems to defy the laws of physics and the simple, finite rules of hair care. And I swear I hear, faintly in the background, a stylist in the corner, clutching AquaNet and rocking herself in trauma.

I think the word I’m looking for is cringe-worthy. Ron and I sat there and cringed through the whole episode. It’s not like The Swan where they are really slicing and dicing up women’s bodies – this is just slicing and dicing up their egos. The show makes your skin crawl as the fake boss totally sexually harrasses the women of the team – and, in a clever balance, have the men of the team similarly leered at by the boss’s right-hand man (a debonair and handsome David Jahn – Ron already has a crush on him).

Good God – am I going to get sucked into another TV show now? And this is all before 24 has even started!

I need to convert my old desktop into a MythTV box.

    These people are so incredibly stupid that they deserve to be humiliated. Apparently, none of them have ever read a book, or they would have known that King Arthur was a fictional character, and therefore, “Excalibur” could not exist. If only one of them had picked up on that, the whole scam woud have been over.

    “Ron and I sat ‘their’”?? The correct word is “THERE”. Location, not posssessive.

    Any thoughts as to who the “real” boss is going to be? I believe, and have for some time now, that the shots are being called by a chimpanzee. All a chimp would have to do is point to pictures of contestants to indicate who should stay or go.

    I think the “real” boss is gonna be Trump, or Mr. Todd’s wife.

    Regarding who the boss is, I too have thought it might be a chimp. Alternatively, my husband and I have toyed with the idea that it is a chicken pecking at photos of the contestants and/or a 6 – 9 mos. old baby drooling on photos. But, more importantly, when is the show coming back on? I have heard rumors that it is now indefinitely on hiatus. Does anyone know anything about this? They can’t leave us hanging — I want to see the bitter disappointment felt by all when they realize this is all a hoax.

    Yes-MBFOB is a Great Show- the excitement and joy I feel inside when you know someone is being tricked- priceless. I hope they show the final episodes!

    I miss MBFOB and think it stinks that Fox would pull it before we can find out the ending! I went to the website and it says it will be coming soon to the internet. I don’t understand! Let it run its course, despite the ratings!

    Hi, just wondering if you ever found the Obnoxious episodes on the web? Thanks

    Yes, these people really believe in him. If I was them I would also probably believe it. But not to the extreme of believing the King Arthur sword!!!
