“Make It or Break It” is a new show about gymnastics on ABC Family this summer, and I’ve done my best to ignore it until now — I’m certainly not the intended audience. But this scene from an episode last month has to be addressed. In the video above, a group of five guys (one of whom has a neck tattoo) are threatening some high school girls at a gas station, and two girls scare them off BY TUMBLING AT THEM. Seriously. “Watch out, yo! Those are back handsprings!”
Again: I recognize that this show is for little girls, not me. But I have to believe that not even little girls are dumb enough to find this remotely believable. This absolutely has to be the stupidest thing televised this decade. Its idiocy depletes my faith in humanity. It’s an insult to people with frontal lobes. Those girls could have fired lasers out of their vaginas and it would have been more realistic. Hey, the female reproductive system is awfully complex. Vagina lasers don’t seem all that implausible. And they’re certainly scarier than a tumbling pass.

I was so scared I pissed my pants while watching that.
I’ll keep this advice in mind the next time I’m harrassing/raping high school gymnasts at a gas station.
That clip made my taco pop.
I like that, just out of shot, a foley artist can be heard trying out his new metal sheet for recreating the sound of thunder, just as the over sized gymnasts do their tumbling thing.
Two words:
Eddie Gordo.
Maybe they were scared the girls were going to let the bodies hit the floor
So, should I feel bad about this boner?
“I’m certainly not the intended audience.”
Actually, I’d say male, 14-45 is exactly the intended audience.
One word:
Gymkata
I thought that was K-Fed, but he didn’t have a gas station sandwich in his hand
Hard to argue with Otto on this one.
I just want to know why Dave Matthews is being such a dick to those girls.
Honestly I couldn’t get past the inter-racial gang. I’ve watched enough episodes of the Shield and the Wire to know that would never happen.
One time i let a cheerleader who i just abducted go after she waved her Pom Pom’s of Cthulhu at me.
@ Chazz, maybe that gang was on its way to save the rec center, or they could be the bastard offspring of The Warriors.
I call dibs on vagina lasers.
Does the brunette say “C’mon jackasses back off”? It sure sounded like that. And this is ABC Family, lol ok.
Why is everybody in every TV show ever so well off? Those girls are driving a Mercedes CLK convertible. Thats like a $60K car. How come no one in TV or movies drives a beater Subaru?
