Top Five Jason McEwen Malapropisms
- Wade
You all know Jason. Okay, maybe you don't. But you should. He's quite an entertaining character. I'm serious.
He's a good guy, and also a funny guy. Usually intentionally. Sometimes not. Below are five examples of him being funny without trying, fumbling a particular word, phrase, or name. He now knows better, but continues to say the wrong thing to make us laugh. It usually works. I have no idea if this will be funny to anyone else or not. But you really didn't want to read my take on the 9/11 report, did you?
5. Pat Nebetar. Yeah, I know it comes from Beavis and Butthead. But I'm not sure Jason wasn't referring to Pat Benetar like this long before B&B made it famous.
4. morale. In TV class back in '93, Jason (playing a role similar to Al Bundy) takes his fake daughter Carrie Baker aside and asks her if she knew the morale of the story. No word on whether that differs from the moral of the story. He later dated Carrie Baker, in case you're scoring at home.
3. Edward Chopin. There's a scene in Tombstone where Val Kilmer (as Doc Holliday) asks the piano.. er, piani player if he knows any music from "Fredrick f*cking Chopin." When Jason says the line, he becomes Edward f*cking Chopin. Long lost brother, or something.
2. obe. Jason's version of an oboe.
1. carnigan. You know, one of those sweaters that buttons in the front. A carnigan. It makes sense that he didn't know how to prononuce cardigan, though-- he was much more into sweater vests.
That's all she wrote. If you can think of another one, post 'er to the forum. Audi 5000, g.
