This Blog has Nuked the Fridge

"Jumped the Shark" has so jumped the shark, so we're long overdue for another handy Internet phrase. These enterprising types are suggesting "Nuke the Fridge" for good reason. What other contenders were there?

Swung with Monkeys
Acknowledged the Prairie Dog
Rode the Rocket Sled
Over-leaned on Previz
Decapitated the Statue
Rode the Waterfalls Thrice
Passed Old Unit Photography Off as Heartfelt Memories
Dragged around Amazing British Characters Actors as Deadweight
Bashed the Sequel <--- Courtesy of Stooge (Brilliant!)

date Posted: Jun 04, 2008 11:11 AM Nuke the Fridge - Ha! Although Gahmah doesn't really have anything too negative against Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Probably not good ones, but what about... - Grabbed the Snake - Brought the Knife to a Gun Fight - Started a Restaurant Brawl to Escape

date Posted: Jun 21, 2008 8:12 PM bashed the sequel is redundant. but... that assessment is from the unwashed and deliberate ignorant (a scary bondage of adjective and noun and actualy "deliberate" could be seen as a verb which makes it even worse). There are too many of them and they cancel-out my vote in presidential elections.

date Posted: Oct 01, 2008 1:07 PM Star wars is now guilty of adding the cute kid to keep the show going ala Growing Pains, Family Ties, Married with Children, and many others. Therefore I submit: "Added the Padawan" OR How about "Nicknamed the Baby Hutt", or "Ziroed the Franchise"
