Our last entry in the series brought you the Eddie Murphy classic, “Party All The Time“. Today we are going to up the ante with a mid 1990′s hit by the Presidents Of The United States Of America. The song of course is “Peaches”, which is both absurd and catchy but somehow still good and the music video is just bizarre. Either way it’s a classic slice of the waning years of MTV before it bottomed out.
Amazingly, “Peaches” was nominated for a Grammy.
Remember this tool shack?
If you don’t than consider yourself lucky. Way back in 1998, this waste of flesh won the MTV contest, “Wanna Be A VJ?” He beat out Dave Holmes..whom you may know now from FX’s DVD on TV. Holmes at least for starters is a human being with an everyday man persona that is quasi likable. I’m not sure what sewer tunnel or what used up trashy uterus that a had one night stand with Steven Tyler’s guitar tech’s brother that this mother fucker crawled out of, but he definitely should get back inside it. He was on MTV all the fucking time that year, you just couldn’t get away from him. How did this ever get allowed to happen!?!?
Oh, but it gets worse.
MTV let him record an album. Just to prep yourself TCM has included this review from the website, www.allmusic.com who is pretty straight forward and unbiased when it comes to their music reviews:
There may be more irritating fringe figures in the history of rock & roll, but none are worse than Jesse Camp. A spoiled suburban rich kid who decided that acting as if he were mentally retarded would be wickedly funny, Camp rode MTV’s manipulations into quasi-stardom, including such ridiculous highlights as gracing the cover of Spin magazine. Since he had wormed his way into celebrity, only one thing was left — have him produce something of substance that would sustain his fame. Hence, a recording contract and his debut album, Jesse & the 8th Street Kidz, a record that sounds as if it was released in 1989. Yes, Camp is keeping the hair metal flame burning in the nine-nine, complete with big, stupid hooks and big, stupid lyrics about “Wasted Youth,” “Griftin’,” “Sloppy Kisses,” and “Summertime Squatters.” He never turns the volume down, slowing a little bit for a power ballad with Stevie Nicks on “My Little Saviour” (which of course begs the question, what exactly did Nicks do to deserve this kind of punishment?). At times, the music is catchy, but most of the time it’s simply irritating, since Camp’s singing is every bit as grating as his persona. Perhaps this is just one big joke or perhaps Camp’s love of pop-metal is ironic, but it doesn’t change the fact that this record is unbearable.
Score another one for MTV!
“On April 17, 2010 Margera told the Artisan News Service the movie was 70% done and half the crew had been to the hospital with Margera having three broken ribs and a broken shoulder and a twisted ankle as we speak. One of the stunts Bam Margera stated he intended to film was entitled “The Worst Wake-up in the World” in which himself and Ryan Dunn would wake up Bam’s fellow friend Brandon Novak with “Defibrillators, then urinate onto his face, throw flour on him to cake the urine, punch him in each eye, and then release six vampire bats into the room, and lock the door.”
I wouldn’t bet against the these guys making another masterpiece. The Jackass crew crew seems to top themselves every time out and they are true entertainers. There will be pain. There will be nutsacks and taints. One more movie feels just about right anyway. The studio is expecting an October release for the film and all signs are looking good so far.
“According to Deadline.com, a stunt called “The Heli-cockter” has also been filmed and shown to Paramount executives in its 3D format to green light the project. Chris Pontius tethered a remote control-operated helicopter from his penis, and grinned whilst he swung it around.” So says Wikipedia.
This will be the best 3D movie of the year.

TCM has already exposed to you the depths and truth of what is really going on at MTV’s Jersey Shore. We’ve also shown you what Michael Cera is like on drugs. Now strangely enough, we can show you both…together…kind of.
Somehow this actually happened. The cast of Jersey Shore and Michael Cera all hung out one day at MTV studios and gave him tips on how to act and look like Guido. They didn’t seem to understand his sarcasm, turning this video into a strange and awkward classic.
Yes, apparently MTV Unplugged still exists. Who knew? The band, Vampire Weekend recorded a show for them not too long ago. Their new album, Contra is due out tomorrow (in the U.S.) although the song featured in this video is “A-Punk” from their first album. You can also listen to the song “Horchata” from Contra by clicking here.
Aren’t you surprised we haven’t wrote about quite possibly the greatest show of 2009 the decade yet? Me too.
Yes folks, MTV has come at us again with another piece of quality programming. In case you forgot, this is the network that introduced us to the fun-loving Spencer “McDouche” Pratt and Heidi “Cuntbag” Montag. So you knew it was only a matter of time before someone new was to take the spotlight. Well folks, MTV has done themselves in with this one. The Jersey Shore. Not only did they make the new greatest show on TV, every single one of the characters on that show is in their own right, a superstar. Well, in case your living inside an elephants asshole, here is a clip of this masterpiece.
After a 6 hour meeting with the fellow captains, the main topic being The Jersey Shore, we have come to the conclusion that all those people on the show aren’t who they really are. Sure they do a damn good job of being douchebags and douchebitches but we believe that they are all putting on a fake persona just to “fit in” with everyone at Douchebag Beach. Now, don’t be upset…we wouldn’t want you to think we don’t like this show because believe me we do. We have gotten just as many laughs out of this show as Flintheart’s girlfriend did the first time she saw him naked. A lot. What we are going to do for you today is briefly tell you what each one of the stars of Jersey Shore does in real life.
Without further adieu, The Captain’s Memos presents, Jersey Shore: The True Hollywood Story.
AngelinaThis isn’t a post about girls from my 5th grade class that you never heard of. In fact these are celebrities (almost all tv related actually) that my boyhood self had crushes on from roughly the years 1989-1997 …give or take a year or two. I actually found this post pretty difficult and creepy to write about. Never the less, I hope you enjoy it and that is spurs some good comments.
(Note: In most cases I tried to get pictures of said “crush” straight from the era the show took place)
10 – DJ & Stephanie Tanner (Full House)
Once DJ got into mid high school era things started to fall into place for her and she maintained a level of attractiveness until the show ended. Stephanie didn’t really make it happen until Full House was in it’s last season. In theory I would never say these ladies were hot. Yet they were cute in a kind of non threatening bring home to mom type of way.
The Captains at TCM equally agree on a few things. The genius of Billy Murray, The Lingerie Football League, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia and of course Jackass.
This just released DVD is something of a false advertisement. These aren’t “lost” in the sense that they they have never been seen. I’d say 40% of the material falls under that category. The rest are previously aired segments from when the Jackass show was on TV, but for whatever reason weren’t included in when they compiled the massive 4 disc DVD box set.
I hate how MTV compiled the original Jackass series for the DVD box set. Apparently, MTV is known for their DVD idiocy (Beavis And Butthead anyone?) Why not just give us DVD’s of the actual episodes the way we remember it? Rather than just the segments and then leave some out. It’s very confusing…and stupid.
So, if your wondering where your favorite segments ended up like Night Monkey, Steve-O and Ehren tackling each other in football gear in department stores, or Knoxville ordering vegetarian meals and putting little pieces of feces in them, they all have a new home on the “Lost Tapes”
Now if you own:
Jackass: The Box Set
Jackass: The Lost Tapes
Jackass: The Movie
Jackass: Number Two
Jackass: 2.5
you have everything these guys have ever put out under the Jackass name. The filming of Jackass 3 has officially been confirmed by the crew.
And another thing – where are the DVD’s of the Tom Green show, MTV?
