Close, but no cigar

You know how TV networks and airlines play R-rated movies seemingly just because they want to mutilate the dialog? Well, Snakes on a Plane recently made its cable television debut, and here was the result:



While the only thing more terrifying than motherfucking snakes is monkey-fighting snakes, the Monday to Friday editing job falls short of the heights seen in the airline edit of Shaun of the Dead:



Which, sadly, comes nowhere close to the greatest made-for-TV edit of all time:



Close, but no cigar.

Damn, that Snakes On A Plane edit is fricking brilliant.

Is it Monkey fighting or Monkey-fide? And Monday to Friday? Love it.

That gets my vote for the best.

But what happens when you find a monkey-fighting stranger in the Alps, every day from Monday-Friday?

Those are all funny, but you forgot about Scarface. That is by far the best in my opinion.

Yeah, I saw the Scarface one after posting this.

"You got a look like you ain't been touched in years."

I've been wanting to see Lebowski on TV in full to see if it's that consistantly botched.

FORGET ABOUT THE MONKEY FIGHTING TOE

I can't stop laughing. This reminds me of my favorite tv-edit... "Repo Man." The cursing was so inventive in that movie, they had to come up with EVEN MORE inventive subsitutes. You haven't lived until you've heard Harry Dean Stanton scream "Gypsy-flaming perditious box!" Of course, if you don't like that, then you're a melon-farmer.
