WHEN NUGGIE WAS MY CARTMAN COACH
#DailyMischief
Do you guys watch Southpark? I love that show. It’s inane and it makes me laugh (on alternate days, it also makes me want to throw up, but meh… it’s a give and take). The other night I tried and failed miserably to impersonate Cartman (one of the show’s characters). As a matter of fact, I think it was the same night I told you guys about, when Nuggie and I were at happy hour and I thought I should try to put those Bassett Hounds on sets of long legs to see what kind of dogs they would resemble if they weren’t so short and waddle-y.
My impersonation of Cartman was so bad, even I was embarrassed. That’s huge.
M.C. Nugget gave me a pitiful look and laughed in my general direction. Then he graciously tried to teach me how to do a proper “Cartman.”
So there we were… Nuggie and I, strolling down Main Street in Santa Monica, while I tried to say “Paiiiiih” (that’s “pie” in Cartmanese).
I would love to have been a stranger walking behind us to hear our goofball, whacked out exchange that went something like this:
Paaaaiih
“Do THAT but with a higher pitched voice.”
Paaaaiih
“No, like this: Paaaaiih…”
Paaaaiih
“More nasal.”
Paaaaiih
“That’s it!”
This, THIS ladies and gentlemen is why Nuggie attended college, and studied acting and dramatic arts in London… so he could help me perfect my Cartman.
And boy is he GOOD.
You see? College is so important.

Ms. Cheevious is the alter-ego of Lisa Jey Davis (former publicist, and television talent manager, current award-winning writer & author, & health and fitness pro). Though Ms. Cheevious has become known for humor via the blog and social media, offering a lighter and brighter look at life… the blog was originally a precursor to Lisa Jey's long overdue book "Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood" which offers a fabulous, funny peek into what really goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood… a Hollywood with Lisa Jey and her funny “serendipities” in it. Think Lucille Ball meets Chelsea Handler meets the girl next door (with a little chocolate and vodka). It depicts with hilarity the innocent mistakes Lisa Jey made when launched back into the big, bad single jungle, as an unassuming single-mother in the City of Angels. It’s also about the beautiful, interesting life she led while her loving, incredible sons kept her grounded and sane amid fantastic events, new friends, parties and field trips. It also shows the turmoil and heartbreak that comes with dating and single mom life. All blog content © 2015 Ms. Cheevious aka Lisa Jey Davis
Well, it’s a good thing he did go to college or how would you have never perfected Paaaaiih. Money well spent!
See? You get it Onisha! LOL
I love when my husband and I imitate TV shows – like our own little secret between the two of us. Seinfeld is usually our go to choice…
Ahh yes Elyse… Seinfeld is also in our rep. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
In-coming Sacrilege! I’m not a South Park or Seinfeld fan. Sorry, I guess, then again, maybe not. But, I have followed others who have so valiantly attempted to imitate a show’s character. My sons are constantly doing that – the youngest is 34 – and South Park is one of their fav shows. Still, my wife and I have our moments of silliness and if we knew somebody was following us – would be so VERY embarrassed… and have been! Enjoying life together, even if you’re just Cartman for a day and wanting Paaaaiih, it’s worth it.
EXACTLY Bob. Thanks! XO
I die laughing. haha. This is something that my friend and I would do on the regular. We recently went out to dinner and played out the whole “Phase 1: Collect Underpants. Phase 2: …. . Phase 3: profit.” skit. haha. That show is full of gems and perfecting our Cartman is essential. Thank goodness for Nugget.
I thank my lucky stars for him on the daily Ms. Julie! LOL – yes – oh the skits we will do…. (as opposed to “oh the places we’ll go” – but we’ll do that too… okay… done now)…
Can’t say that I watched South Park much myself but for a time you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing ” No Kitty that’s my pot Paaaih!”
OMFG Sabrina! I remember that one! BAHAHAHA!
PAAAAIIH!
There’s some paaaaaiih over hh-yaw!!!!
I don’t watch South Park much, but I’ve seen enough to know the voices. And you even had me to trying to say ‘PAAAAIIH’! 🙂 Fun post.
haha Thanks James. 🙂
Two things:
1. “on alternate days, it also makes me want to throw up, but meh… it’s a give and take” So. True.
2. If I want to sound like Cartman I just go around pronouncing “here” as “hyeah” and I’m good.
I do it more like “HH-YAW and HH-YAW”… LOL Thanks Sarah!
I just wish someone had been video-taping this little exchange – we ALL would have gotten a big laugh! Thanks . . . although I NEVER watch South Park – it would have been fun seeing you two! ha ha!
Yeah… SMH… it would’ve been good to catch it on video. But then it never comes across the same as the written word. NEVER
For us who live on Mars in another century the foregoing is remote and abstruse. But looks like good harmless enviable fun. Wish I were there too.
