Did you, like me, decide to give Girls another chance last night, only to have your eyes assaulted by a naked Lena Dunham grinding on Donald Glover’s Childish Gambino within the first two minutes of the episode — the first of three scenes in which Dunham took her clothes off? Jesus what is it with this girl and forcing her audience to see her naked?! I’m beginning to think she’s a psychopath or something.
Oh, and then how do you have Brian Williams’ hot daughter in a love scene and use cutesy tricks to not show us any of HER naked body? Lena Dunham basically has an HBO show for the sole purpose of trolling us. And for this she is lauded as being “brave.” REAL TALK: Revealing your portly bod repeatedly on cable television is not f*cking brave; running into a burning building to save a life not your own is brave. There’s a huge difference.
ANYWAY, here is the video for Santigold’s “Girls,” which is thankfully devoid of Lena Dunham’s naked body or any of the loathsome characters she created (I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to see a TV character die in a grease fire as much as that annoying Shoshanna character David Mamet’s daughter plays on Girls), despite the fact that it’s on the Girls soundtrack. And yes, I am still PISSED that Girls won the Golden Globe for comedic TV series over Louie, Parks and Rec, Veep and Community. What a crock of utter sh*t. I need a drink.

Preach.
Brosistahs, I know the staff is still hurting, but those shows weren’t even nominated *slow back rub* I think we’ve all had ample time to accept that sad reality (though Cheadle taking it over CK certainly aggravated some tender wounds.) Girls isn’t my favorite comedy on television, but what could you possibly have been pulling over it for from that pile of summa cum semen? If Modern Family won again, would you have been any happier? Big Bang Theory? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
Yes, EXACTLY, those shows WEREN’T EVEN NOMINATED! This shit is criminal.
Mashup with Beyonce’s “Run this World” in 5… 4… 3…
I love that the music for “girls” was made by a black woman. That’s probably the closest the phrases “HBO’s ‘girls’” and “black woman” are ever gonna appear without the word “no” in between them.
Lena Dunham would be moderately attractive if she lost 15-20 pounds. But… She doesn’t, so … she isn’t. End of story.
It kind of sucks that the word “GIRLS” is now associated with Lena Dunham. How dare she. Anyways, this song is pretty awesome. Go Santi, Go!
I genuinely cannot wrap my mind around the appeal of GIRLS. There is not one redeemable character in the entire show, which would be almost excusable if it was at all funny. Which it is not. I’m baffled.
I don’t understand this claim that the characters aren’t redeemable. They each have significant flaws, but the blonde is the only one I find especially terrible.
Jesus, TCB. Kind of a troglodytic rant there. Long-form YouTube comment. I’m right there with you on the award having gone to the wrong show, but the rest of this write-up is a bummer, man.
