Ode to Olivia Munn
All of you that read this blog on a regular schedule know of my affinity for a certain host of Attack of the Show on G4TV, but for those of you new to the game, let's just say my affection for a certain Olivia Munn runs deep. So deep, in fact, that when I heard G4 was planning a special edition of AOTS in her honor, I felt the need to celebrate in the only way I knew how: by ripping off one William Shakespeare.
Sure, you might have assumed my tribute would take the form of some Halo-inspired cosplay, but I instead chose to honor via The Bard himself, as a way to both fully honor my favorite host as a a way to fully honor that fact that my folks paid for me to be an English major. If you need the inspiration, go here, but in any case, here goes my personal tribute to Olivia Munn.
All other hosts are nothing like the Munn;
My eyes are transfixed whilest she is on;
She shows the way to all things fun;
Takes me Around the Net, shows me Gadget PrOn.
Olivia’s Rack I do keenly watch
Her magazine reviews, of course, I mean by that
Though lines like that I often do botch
She could Filter such nonsense at the drop of a hat.
Pereira fares well, his wit doth appease
Kevin should not look upon this ode askance
But answer me, dear reader, if you so kindly please
Which of these two would you rather In Your Pants?
If there’s just one thing upon you I could prevail
Please don’t give this poem an Epic Fail.
There you have it, my tribute to Olivia. Attack away, Ms. Munn. Attack away.
Leave your personal missives to Olivia below!
Ryan also filters his own views on television over at Boob Tube Dude.
Sarah Lane was better.
Buckly | Jun 11, 2008 7:24:22 AM | #She's gotten better during her tenure, but Olivia is still primarily eye candy. I prefer when Blair Butler guest hosts.
Tom | Jun 11, 2008 7:30:41 AM | #Not an AOTS fan but she is cute. The one episode I saw recently was last week (since you guys had your argument about AOTS vs. X-Play) and she seemed very wooden. Also, she started crying (or getting close) about a video where a kid runs into a car while on a Segway. It was very odd.
Blue Sean | Jun 11, 2008 8:43:05 AM | #Olivia could use some coaching in the hosting department. She's kinda full of herself and it shows. Sarah Lane was better for sure. Blair needs a make-over in a big way. Kristin Holt is nice to look at but her voice is something to be desired.
Geoff Keighley | Jun 11, 2008 11:48:18 AM | #I used to watch AOTS before they moved to primetime. I havent watched it since but
Munn does need some help. She seems to try to hard. Idk if Ryan digs her looks or what but there is definitely better eye candy on the show. Layla Kayleigh anyone?
You guys are kidding right? Munn is excellent on the show. She has shown that she doesn't take her self too seriously and she is just plain fun.
Sarah Lanes attempts at being irrelevent and cynical were just painful and forced. No natural flow. Honestly, I stopped watching due to her.
Munn, though, has brought me back. Nice chemistry with Kevin. I like the show with her as one of the hosts.
Mark | Jun 11, 2008 11:32:00 PM | #Olivia is fun, funny and the best host on AOTS (followed by Blair, Layla, Zach)... I love the fact that she'll say or do anything to make the show more fun for the viewers (her repeated references to her "vagina juice", and her offer to a couple of prize winners that got her in trouble with the network, but, to her credit, she NEVER apologized for)... Frankly, lose Kevin (rumpled California prettyboy wannabe), and make Blair and Olivia the permanent hosts...
