I've heard of it. Not my thing but I can see why people find it funny. I am actually a little disturbed looking at her. Not sure why.

[ItBeThatWay27]

wow I can post and I DIDNT KNOW ANY OTHER JEWEL FANS LOVED SWC!!!!!

HOBO CAMP!

[ItBeThatWay27]

What is your favorite episode? Mine is either Behind Blank Eyes or A Burden's Burden, but they are all great.

[Sitdogboy!]

The Blank Page and The Blank Stare. All the best epesodes are from the 2nd season!

Did you see the Movie?

[DreamsLast]

Haven't seen it, sorry.

[Sitdogboy!]

Do you breathe?If you do, you'll like it. Every living creature likes it.

[ItBeThatWay27]

ha ha yes it's true.. my wife was like ennnhhh when I first started watching it, well after it was on DVD and I overplayed it anyway... about 2 weeks later I'd find her watching it when I wasn't home haha and it's defrinately not even her kind of humor or show at all for that matter.
YES YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT SEASON 2 all the best episodes are from it. I have a weakness for A Burden's Burden though just b/c it's a great episode from season 1 and I get so many lines I use in real life (and peopel look @ me like wtf) from it... h aha

I'M GONNA SIT AT THE WELCOME TABLE

SING ABOUT IT!!

ha u know I love this show so much I copied all the audio from the dvd's and made them m4a files to listen to on my iPod ha ha

"sausage links, sausage patties, canadian bacon, back bacon, bacon, coffee - black, keep it comin'!"

[ItBeThatWay27]

Oh I haven't seen the movie yet, I would have had to drive an hour to see it and the day we were suppost to go we kind of got all lethargic and decided we didn't really feel up to it.. I'm sure it'll be on dvd though, so... My friend told me the movie was awesome though. I can't wait to see it and u know they have like a special edition dvd w/ all 3 seasons and more extras. I want that too.
Are you thinking about buying some briskett?
No. I'm thinking about poon tang, I'm gonna buy some briskett.

Change... people change... I LOVE SWC

[Sitdogboy!]

[Little Bird]

I would just like to remind everyone that this is a family friendly forum and this should be considered before posting.

I have already had a complaint about some of the comments in this forum which I have had to remove. I don't like deleting posts but I have had to do so as some posts were considered offensive and discusting.

Apologies to all involved.

[ItBeThatWay27]

Sorry, I guess strangers with candy is a little too explicit for a Jewel-oriented forum...

[Sitdogboy!]

Its ok. Im sorry. I didnt realize I posted anything nasty.

When I talk about Strangers With Candy I cant help myself!

[Eibhlin]

that is a woman in the first post? lol, i thought it was a very disturbing looking man...

never heard of the show though!

[ItBeThatWay27]

Oh, is it a clip from the DVD?

I have all 3 seasons, I still have to buy the complete DVD set.

I took a screenshot from the last episode of season 1, cropped it and added the goodtimes

[ItBeThatWay27]

whatever it is, it's best when Jerri says it with her long weave hahaha

[last_dance_rodeo]

hahaha nicole richie and jerri hahaha that's hilarious

[Sitdogboy!]

Whats Hilarious? The picture, poor southeners, cancer, or that his wooden teeth popped out :p

[ItBeThatWay27]

I was kind of mad when she said poor southerners are hilarious. but I know everything on that show is available to be targeted ha ha

[Sitdogboy!]

you were offened by Poor Southerners? Not Cancer?

What a weird thing to oe offened by out of all of the things she says on that show xD

[ItBeThatWay27]

well I am sure black people get offended by her black comments, mexicans by her mexican comments and so on.... so since I am a southerner and relatively poor, yeah it did for a moment, I was like "what!" but then I remembered THIS IS JERRI BLANK so it's all good

and yeah the cancer thing is pretty bad but I always hear people say "cancer... that's hilarious" and now I am hearing in my head a movie quote where a woman who actually has cancer says "cancer... turns out it's not so hilarious" what did I see that on..?. hmmm....

[Sitdogboy!]

Anything Jerri says is great! If she says "Sitdogboy! is a "Big, Fat, Stuuuuuuppppidddd, zerrroooooo, fatty! (words of noblet)" I would cry of the thought that she cared enough to insult me, tears of joy :)

If she gave me AIDS, I would love her forever :)

[ItBeThatWay27]

OMG u r crazy.. hA!

i love when she says FAT @$$ and he's like what did you say? and she whispers faaaaaattttt @@@@$$$$$$$$$$$....... and he's like that's better. H ha ha Noblet cracks me up as well ha ha well so do blackman, jellyneck, coach wolf, tammy littlenut, whats that gay guy's name? timmy? haha they are all funny
"ballsmoke"

[Sitdogboy!]

What about Orlando? The "monkey"

Or Ramone? Ahh, good times, good times.

Do you know what I hate? "Gypsies! Dirty, thieving, stupid, gypsies!"

[DreamsLast]

Hey guys!! I was watching the Late Show with David Letterman the other night. He was doing the stupid trivia section of the show with audience members and they were all given a copy of a 'Strangers With Candy' DVD!! Thought I'd share! :-)

[ItBeThatWay27]

I hit the man in the wheelchair with my grape sodie!

oh thanks for the info Christie, I only wish I had been there... is the movie out on dvd yet? B/c I still haven't seen it.....

[Sitdogboy!]

The movie is not out on video yet :( Well, Im guessing its not. Hmmmm....

The movie is great! A lot of people said it was good the 1st time, but GREAT the 2nd time. I saw it once. I have 3 big movie posters, 2 movie postcards, 3 little newspaper thingies with the movie in it they gave away at the theater, and 2 origanal ticket stubs (mine and my brothers :P). I made a keychain myself :p I only got the newspaper thingies myself. My brother got me the other things! While walking around there, he asked if he could have one of the posters, and he took all of them :p


EDIT:

ITS OUT TODAY!!!!!!!!!! NOVEMBER 14!!!!!

YESSSSS!!!!

[ItBeThatWay27]

hey you know what? I didn't know Jerri Blank is based on a real woman named Florence "Florrie" Fisher..... my friend did a blog about it and I just read it today.... here's what wikipedia says:


Florence "Florrie" Fisher (1918/1920-unknown) was a motivational speaker in the 1960s and 1970s who traveled to high schools in the United States, speaking about her past as a heroin addict and prostitute, a profession which she took up in order to support her addiction.

In addition to her appearances, Fisher wrote an autobiography, The Lonely Trip Back, which told of her life from childhood up to the point she became a motivational speaker. In 1970, she appeared in The Trip Back, a public service announcement detailing her appearance at a New York high school. Fisher's trollish appearance, thick Brooklyn accent, and larger-than-life tales of prostitution, drug binges, larceny, botched abortions, and lesbian jailhouse encounters turned her into a cult figure in the late 1970s, with bootleg videos of her public service announcement becoming a collector's item in the 1980s. Amongst those who saw the video were Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello, who saw a resemblance between Fisher and their friend Amy Sedaris. The two men showed Sedaris a copy of the video, and suitably impressed with an impression that Sedaris did of Fisher, they built a television series based around the concept of Florrie Fisher going back to high school. The result was Strangers with Candy.

During her time as a motivational speaker, Fisher was affiliated with the controversial rehabilitation movement Synanon, which she credited with helping her beat her addiction. She also had ties to Phoenix House, a sister organization of Synanon's, and often recommended it to students during her speeches as a reliable means of combatting addictions.

The exact date of Fisher's birth is unknown. In her autobiography she gives conflicting dates, at one point stating that she was 43 in 1963, then later indicating that she was born in 1918. According to the information given by the publisher, Fisher was in fact born in 1920. Her parents were Russian immigrants who settled in Brooklyn. She briefly attended an unnamed Midwestern university in the late 1930s.

Fisher had a series of short-lived marriages documented in The Lonely Trip Back. She describes being married at least four separate times: first in a parent-arranged marriage to a childhood friend named Joe Rosinsky; next, to her pimp, whom she identified in her autobiography as David "Davey" Bohm; to a heroin junkie identified as Danny Orenstein, who claimed to be an insurance collector in Miami; and lastly, to a sheet metal foreman named Manuel "Philip" Bacalad (aka Bocala), whom she initially met as a pen pal just prior to becoming a motivational speaker.

Following her initial success, Fisher sank into obscurity, with her public service announcement being the arguable high point of her career. Despite her crusade to get young people to learn from her mistakes, Fisher herself soon jumped back into old habits; Miami, Florida police reports indicate she was charged with narcotics possession in 1971 and possession of stolen property in 1972. She and Bacalad disappeared from the public eye entirely sometime in the mid-1970s, with unsubstantiated rumors claiming that she was either dead after relapsing, or that she and Bacalad were involved in a cat burglar training venture in Miami. In the early 2000s Internet rumors claimed that she was responsible for a burglary at the condo of mafioso Meyer Lansky in 1979.

As of 2006, the fates of Fisher and her husband remain unknown, although her lifestyle combined with her age has led many to assume that she has probably died. At least one internet source claims that in her last years of life she attempted to flee her sordid past by settling in the small town of Sidney, Montana, where she died in the late 1980s.

there's also videos of her on youtube, if you want to watch them, they are CRAZY, you can tell how they modeled Jerri right after her haha
sorry I don't have the links right here but just search her name

[Sitdogboy!]

Ive heard of her, but not to this extent!

I LOVE YOU!!!!

[ItBeThatWay27]

did you watch the videos on youtube?

[Sitdogboy!]

Yes I did! I LOVE THEM! She looks just the same! I went to some page about it to, the link is on Wikipeida. I saw a little bit of it beforw, but not really!

THE WHOLE VIDEO, "THE LONLEY TRIP BACK" IS ON THE COMPLETE SERIES DVD BOXSET!! I HAVE TO GET IT! AND THE MOVIE WAS JUST RELEASED! I HAVE TO BUY ALOT OF THINGS!

[ItBeThatWay27]

whole Florrie documentary or whatever "The Lonely Trip Back" was released on the SWC dvd box set?????? I need to get the movie but I am so broke right now, I have a Wal-Mart gift card w/ $30 on it, but I didn't see it at wal-mart and I figured it wasnt a movie they would plan on getting in stock........... well I can always rent it and do my pirate routine....

[Sitdogboy!]

I went to wallmart today too looking for it :p

I am going to get it in 22 days! On December 11th! My birthday! That and 2 CD's! Thats what I plan on getting anyways! I could never wait till christmas!

I could never love anyone as much as I love Jerri Blank. My mother was fine with it, and I am such a momma'a boy :p

[ItBeThatWay27]

I am still confused about the lonely trip back? on the SWC dvd or being released on it's own dvd?

[Sitdogboy!]

Its on the Strangers With Candy COMPLETE series dvd box set. The whole video!

I have to get it!

[ItBeThatWay27]

ok I finally watched the movie and I admit the first time I wasnt too impressed only b/c a lot of the lines are recycled directly from the show and b/c I miss orlando and dont really like megawatti or however u spell it... but after a few viewings I like it more and more although I do wish they had come up with more new catch phrases instead of recycling old ones so much. I especially love listening to the commentary on the dvd :) GOODTIMES!

[Sitdogboy!]

No! The oppisite! They didnt use enough of the old catch fraises! No "Good Times", "Thats Hallarious", or anything Bi-sexully clever like Pole and the Hole!

IT IS GREAT! I have only seen it once! I am getting it on my birthday which is December 11th! I am getting it on the 9th!

[ItBeThatWay27]

well maybe i don't mean catch phrases, i love the jerri catch phrases, but I think they just chose the wrong ones and didnt use them the right way... like I hate when noblets says "i was just pulling me toward myself" or I hate the way jerri says moist as a snack cake...
you're right I wish goodtimes and hillaaaaarrrious would come back, along with PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA!

[Sitdogboy!]

I bought it yesterday. It is so much better the 2nd time around! Every one has been saying that, and its true!

[ItBeThatWay27]

Yes it is true. It only gets better each time you watch it. Look for all their little jokes in the background on the sets and stuff. It's funny

"HOW DARE YOU-that-does-make-sense!!!"

[strengths.with.faults]

I havn't even read anything in this thread yet, but I had to put a comment about this hilarous show! It is truely a work of art!

[never.alone]

everything about the show is hilarous!!!!!!!!!
im so excited to see people who also like it!!!

[ItBeThatWay27]

wow I am surprised at how many Jewel fans love this show ha ha It really is a great show, definately my type of comedy

[Sitdogboy!]

I just got the complete series DVD boxset for christmas! So far Ive watched all the episodes in order 3 times!

I alread had the 3 seasons on single DVD boxsets, but its not the same :p

[Sitdogboy!]

ITBE, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!!

Look at the chalk board in Noblets class in "Who Wants Cake!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/sitdogboy/SWC1.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/sitdogboy/SWC2.jpg

They said it here: http://www.jerriblank.com/swcmisc.html#mytop

under "Blackboard, Noblet's class:".

[ItBeThatWay27]

ha ha that's crazy, what are they discussing? I mean what is the DEFINATELY & PROBABLY? Ok now I am going to have to go watch that episode this morning now haha. Hey whats better with the complete series opposed to the 3 seasons dvds? Did you watch the lonely trip back?

[Sitdogboy!]

I just like having all the seasons in 1! It is still soo great. The lonly trip back is great! The begining is a little boring, but other han that!

On the board, are the saying who wants cake? My brother said there ducusing whos gay? Because there is like 2 gay poets? I dont know...

We all saw that pictyre of Jewel and Ty :p

[ItBeThatWay27]

I watched it yesterday and they are doing presentations, that dude is talking about the louisiana purchase or something like that and then jerri does packing a musket ha ha so I guess the blackboard is just one of those background things you aren't really suppost to understand... it's still amusing though... I bet no one else on the forum even came here and saw Jewel on it because I am pretty sure me and u are the only 2 who come to this thread anymore haha

[Sitdogboy!]

Yep :p

Ever since I got it on Christmas that is the only thing I watched! Tomorrow is New Years Eve, do I smell a SWC marathon?Yes I do :p I will see nothing but SWC tomorrow! All 30 episodes followed by the movie!

When I read that the board said that, I was so shocked! I went to show my brothetrs about the wonderful discovery.. and they said... "You just now saw that!?".

Grrrrr...

[ItBeThatWay27]

they saw it and didnt tell you about it? ha ha wth.. I can't believe I missed that b/c there's one shot of Noblet where you can see JEWEL really big to his left...

[Sitdogboy!]

Heh :p

Whick movie poster do you like better? I like the original MUCH better. The one they used is great too, but why did they change it?

Original:

http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/images_2/StrangersWithCandyMoviePoster1_000.jpg

New:

http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/images_2/StrangersWithCandyMoviePoster2.jpg

[ItBeThatWay27]

I do like the first one but I like the 2nd better, I think they probably changed it to be a more humerous poster for people who don't know what SWC is, it would probably confused them since it looks all american beauty style.. don't u think jerri is way too skinny in the poster too? Since she's suppost to be "all puffy"

[never.alone]

i dont really care for either
her body looks like its been morphed onto somebody elses in the 1st one
but the 2nd one is just plain boring

I still havent seen this movie.

[Sitdogboy!]

You have to see it 2 times. The 2nd time it is much better!

High school is alot harder, no wait, better, the 2nd time around! Im still making mastakes, but Im doing them the right way.

Eat Me. Watch Me. Two Times. Pee On Me.

[last_dance_rodeo]

Ok after many months I've finally given in, I ordered the complete series on amazon.com. It was 45 bucks not too bad. Shipping is what did it. I'm so impatient. I'll get it Thursday.

[never.alone]

excellent choice! youve spent your money wisely. this show is brillant and hilarous!

[ItBeThatWay27]

the works fell out yeeeeaarrrrs ago

[last_dance_rodeo]

hahaha dang Gary that's my fave Jerry line ever and I was just going to type that my second favorite line from swc is "it's not a cold sore my lips fell down some stairs"

[Sitdogboy!]

Thats not as good as "Its not a cold sore! I bumped my lip on a bisket!".

[ItBeThatWay27]

I've always liked the CREEPIN UP THE TRAIL line haha

[last_dance_rodeo]

I've only got the last disc of season 3 to get through then I'll have watched them all. It was well worth it this show is hilarious.

[Sitdogboy!]

Yay! We turned a person into a Strangers With Candy fan! Lets all join in a little song...

...

IM GONNA SIT AT THE WELCOME TABLE, SING ABOUT IT, IM GONNA SIT AT THE WELCOME TABLE ONE OF THESE DAYS! HALLELUAAH! IM GONNA SIT AT THE WELCOME TABLE, GONNA SIT AT THE WELCOME TABLE ONE OF THESE DAYS!

I was watching an episode of Mama's Family (You've heard of it. Before my time, but I still enjoy re-runs :)) and I heard the GREATEST Strangers With Candy quote that they NEVER said!

I say lets forget the whole thing and make fudge.

That is just like a SWC quote! HA!

[last_dance_rodeo]

hahaha fudge, and do jellineck and noblet ever come out of the closet?

[Sitdogboy!]

Nope, that would ruin the fun!

[ItBeThatWay27]

yes they did on the last episode. They stand in front of the class and say "MY LOVER MY NOBLET" and stuff like that

[last_dance_rodeo]

Do alot of people die of the syphillis?

[never.alone]

i love the episode where her daddys crazy and shes talking to jellineck and he says he heard about her crazy daddy and she goes "WHAT? Why thats nothing but a crazy awful TRUTH---- hes insane." and then they start talking about the library and they both dont know what it is and then they magically show up in the painting hes doing lol

MEEAT!!

[ItBeThatWay27]

[Sitdogboy!]

yes they did on the last episode. They stand in front of the class and say "MY LOVER MY NOBLET" and stuff like that
