Fans of the Fox show Glee know that each character has his or her own little quirk to bring to the show. The dumbest character in this program by far is Brittany, the prissy cheerleader with enough confidence to fuel the world. I actually don’t watch Glee at all, but I am familiar with the characters on the show. I find Brittany’s stupidity on the verge of charming, mainly because she actually reminds me of a relative of mine. If you want to enjoy the wonder that is Brittany S. Pierce, check the list below. Here are some of the best Brittanyisms of all time.

• Quinn: “There’s a fair amount of the pot calling the kettle black right now.” Brittany: “That is so racist.”
• “Most teachers think that by cutting class, I might improve my grades.”
• “I wore a tank top today because I thought it was summer, and no one ever taught me to read a calendar.”
• Will: “Alright guys, I have one word for you.” (writes “Love” on the board) Brittany: “Is it love? I’m totally gonna graduate now.”
• “That’s my man and his legs don’t work!” (referring to Artie)
• Quinn: “I’m torn.” Brittany: “I’m not. I’m Brittany.”
• “I don’t want to die yet. At least not until One Tree Hill gets canceled…”
• Sue: “Brittany, please remind me of how I singlehandedly put cheerleading on the map.” Brittany: “In 1979 you directed a made for TV movie about the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders called…The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.”
• “The roads to the North Pole are getting treacherous. And remember, even the smallest envelope is heavy for an elf.”
• “If we lose, we should throw possums.”
• Kurt: “What are you going as for Halloween?” Brittany: “A peanut allergy.”
• Will: “What’s a duet?” Brittany: “A blanket.”
• “Whenever I pray, I fall asleep.”
• Kurt: “You can’t prove that there isn’t a magic teapot floating around on the dark side of the moon with a dwarf inside that reads romance novels and shoots lightning out of its boobs, but it seems pretty unlikely, doesn’t it?” Brittany: “God’s an evil dwarf?”
• Brittany: “I don’t want to do Britney.” Kurt: “Why no Britney, Brittany?” Brittany: “Because my name is also Britney Spears. My middle name is Susan. My last name is Pierce. That makes me Brittany S. Pierce—Britney Spears. I’ve lived my entire life in Britney Spears’s shadow and I’ll never be as talented or as famous. I hope you’ll all respect that I want glee club to remain a place where I, Brittany S. Pierce, can escape the torment of Britney Spears.”
• “I don’t brush my teeth. I rinse my mouth out with soda after I eat. I was pretty sure Dr. Pepper was a dentist.”
• “Please don’t pull all my teeth. When I smile, I’ll look like an adult baby but with boobs.”
• Carl: “I’m gonna put you on anaesthesia. You won’t feel a thing.” Brittany: “Like roofies?” Carl: “Yeah totally.”
• Santana (to Rachel): “Hey, dwarf. Anyone ever tell you you dress like one of the bait girls on To Catch a Predator?” Brittany: “Also, I’m more talented than you.”
• “I would just like to say that from now on, I demand to have every solo in glee club. When I had my teeth cleaned, I had the most amazing Britney fantasy. I sing and dance better than her. It made me realize what a powerful woman I truly am. I’m more talented than all of you; I see that clearly now. It’s Brittany. Bitch.”
• “People thought I went on vacation, but actually I spent the summer lost in the sewers.”
• “When I pulled my hamstring, I went to a misogynist.”
• “Did you know dolphins are just gay sharks?”
• “So hairography works best when you pretend like you’re getting tasered. Just move your head around like you’re spazzing and stuff.”

Seeing that Glee is going to be around for a billion trillion years, I can assure you there is more of this to come. If Brittany graduates, there will be another character like her to keep the stupidity rolling on. For now, enjoy the humor above and use it as inspiration to complete that online masters degree. You don’t want to sound like Brittany now, do you?

Do you remember the show Punk’d on MTV? Of course you do. This is one of those iconic shows that most people have at least heard about, mainly because it has to do with celebrities and pranks all at once. The show used to focus on Ashton Kutcher and his ability to “punk” his celebrity friends with outrageous stunts. It went off air for a while, but now it is coming back with a vengeance. Ashton may not be the host anymore, but that does not mean the show has lost its spark. It has a whole new set of hilarity that even the most serious CIA agent may chuckle at.

The New Setup for Punk’d

In the new season of Punk’d, there isn’t one specific host for the entire show. Instead, a different celeb hosts the show every week and pranks his or her friends along the way. In the first episode, Justin Bieber was the host, and he pranked Miley Cyrus, Rob Dyrdek, Sean Kingston, and Taylor Swift. Based on the previews from future episodes, we may also see Demi Lavato, Bam Margera, Hayden Panetierre, Nick Cannon and tons of other people on the show. Hell, we may even see Ashton on there in the future. You never really know.

The Appeal of Punk’d

I think the reason why people love Punk’d so much is because it shows that celebrities are real people. They can fall for jokes just as easily, and they can laugh just as hard as anyone else. The show revealed the fact that Miley Cyrus, you know, Hannah Montana from Disney, curses like a sailor whenever she gets ticked off about something. She threw those middle fingers up like they were anger rays of doom, which just goes to show that you can’t assume that celebs are like their characters on TV or in movies.

Punk’d is also enjoyable because it contains a lot of funny pranks. Fans of the show Pranked or Silent Library (also on MTV) may like the idea of seeing people in funny, awkward, or embarrassing situations. That is the beauty of Punk’d. It wraps the hilarity into a neat little package and throws in some famous people on top of it. The pranks are funny without the celebrity status. That just pushes the humor over the edge.

Should You Watch Punk’d?

I don’t think this show is going to win an award any time soon, but I still think it is worth watching. Now that Ashton is out of the picture, I think it will truly be the show it was always meant to be. I’m excited to see all of the pranks they come out with and the celebrities they get to be on the show. I don’t really know what to expect just yet, but I’m hoping everything turns out to be really funny in the long run. With the little glimpses I saw in the preview, it should be.

Check out your local listings to see when Punk’d is coming on next. I know they’re playing it on multiple channels at several times in the day, so you should have no trouble catching it at some point in time. If you don’t get a channel with the show on it, see if you can watch it on Hulu or somewhere else on the internet. You could make a whole party about it if you want to. Sit down with some popcorn and wait for the chuckling to begin. That should happen in 5, 4, 3, 2…

Storage Wars is a popular show on A&E that I have come to adore. It features the story of several people that travel to storage auctions in the hopes of finding profitable items. These people compete with one another and other bidders at the auction to win units that have been abandoned at storage facilities. Sometimes they hit it big, and other times they lose a lot of money. It just depends on who is at the auction and what the contents turn out to be.

At first glance, the show seems like it’s just a giant drama fest. There are a bunch of people yelling at one another trying to spend each other’s money. At the heart of all that though, there is a lot of information that can come from the show. For one, you can learn how to effectively bid on an item if you come into an auction situation. Second, you can learn information about some of the unique artifacts they find in storage units. Third, you can learn how to see value in a room that may look like junk. All of this information could make a surprising difference in your life.

There are several people that participate in Storage Wars, and each one of them has a unit personality and level of expertise. Those characters are:

• Dave: Dave is the loud one that thinks he knows more than everyone else. He tends to drive up the prices on units and talk a big game, even when he has a unit dropped on him.
• Darrell: Darrell is supposed to be “The Gambler,” but I really just think he’s an idiot. He tends to overpay for units and attempt to talk smack to the other bidders. Then he ends up with a bunch of junk that he only gets lucky with every once and a while.
• Jarrod and Brandi: Jarrod and Brandi are considered the rookies on the show, even though they have proven themselves over the past couple seasons. I list them together because they are married, so they bid together in order to get stuff for their resale store. Brandi is mainly there to keep Jarrod in line, but she also provides a little eye candy for the show. No complaints there.
• Barry: Barry doesn’t have a business that he sells items through. He mainly just buys lockers because he wants stuff for his personal collection. He does sell stuff on occasion because he doesn’t want it, but he’s mainly there to collect.

Storage Wars will feature other people from time to time, but only if they show up to several auctions that everyone else goes to. For instance, there was a woman named Nadilla that was on there for a little bit because she competed with Dave for a lot of the lockers. Here time on the show was short lived though as the focus soon turned back to the regular people that are always on there.

There are tons of other shows like this on TV, but Storage Wars seems to stand out from all of them. I think that is because it has just enough drama to keep most audiences entertained while still providing some historical information for intellectuals. I don’t care if you’re a landscaper, a tattoo artist, or a Supreme Court judge; you should be able to find something you like about the show. Check it out the next time it comes on in your area, and you’ll soon see what I mean.

Your insurance cost is inevitably going to be different than someone else’s will be, even if the two of you have similar needs and histories. While you may be disappointed by this, you should be able to find a good rate for your own policy if you look around hard enough. You just have to know what sorts of factors are the causes of the prices for your policy. There are many different ones to think about, but the information below should give you a good indication of what pieces of information will cause a raise or reduction in your premiums. Read on to see how you may save in the future.

Driving Record

Your driving record is going to impact the insurance cost you have to pay. The worse your record is, the more you will have to pay for your car insurance. If you have an incredibly bad record from the past, all you can do is work at making it better in the future. Over time, problems will come off the file and you may be able to get back to a lower premium level. You just have to avoid accidents at all costs and hopefully reduce your insurance payments along the way.

Vehicle

Your car will play a part in your auto insurance cost. An insurance company will look at certain specs on your car to see how much money they would likely have to pay in repairs or in total loss value if you were in an accident. They use their own formula from there to determine how much money you should logically pay in insurance costs, and then that is what they charge you. You can see that in the quotes you get before you actually secure a policy.

Purchase Method

Believe it or not, the venue you use to buy your insurance may also impact your insurance cost. You can usually save money by shopping online, especially if you use the web to do comparison shopping. This is the same theory as bypassing the application fee by applying for Argosy University online. If you think there is a discount the computer is missing out on for you, you can always call customer service to see if someone can help you out. There are many discounts to be found, so you might get a lower insurance rate than you think. You can use that to your advantage when you go to pay for a policy on the World Wide Web.

There are tons of other factors that go into determining your auto insurance rate, like your age, marital status, GPA in school, and more. Talk to an insurance agent at State Farm, Progressive, or wherever you shop for insurance, and see why you are paying the rates you are paying. That agent may be able to help you come up with a way to save more money on your policy in the future.
