Matty's Shit-Eating Grin
Gabon - episode 9
It's episode nine of Survivor: Gabon, and it's time for the big reward
challenge
"Come on in, guys!"
In come the Fangs
They get to their mat and they await their Kota opponents
And here are the Kotas
Well, almost all the Kotas. It turns out that one of
them is missing.
Turns out
Charlie Marcus was voted out last night
*smuff*
The Kotas stand there sans Marcus and they wait for the shit to hit the
fan
"Fang, getting your first look at Kota. Marcus-- your best
friend, and the leader of your alliance, was voted out of the game last
night."
Fang reacts
The death of a boner
And now, in just a perfect entry for the Funny 115, comes one of
the greatest visual moments in 22 seasons of Survivor.
Seriously,
there's no way you can watch this next moment and not laugh.
In
fact, I'll just let my friend Mark Polishuk describe it. He
used
to be a columnist for the website Inside Pulse, and this is
one of
his all time favorite Survivor scenes.
From an email from Mark:
"Hey,
this may well be too late, but I have a nomination for the
Funny
115. In Gabon, I nominate Matty's huge shit-eating grin when
he
sees that Marcus has been voted out of the game. It's balanced
perfectly by Corinne's look of pure horror and Sugar's look of
surprise. I fucking hated Marcus...just my luck, a guy with
my
name finally gets on the show and he's a colossal
douche. I
couldn't help but remember Matty's smile since I think I had
the
exact same expression on my face."
So here you go. Ready for it? This is Matty's giant
shit-eating grin when he realizes that the leader of the Kota alliance
(Marcus) has now been voted out of the game. I will never get
tired of this clip.
A shit eating grin
And you thought I was only going to pay tribute to the way
that Matty laughs...
Another one of the best pictures ever
P.S. Here's a great follow up email from a guy named
junglegeo96 at Survivor Sucks.
"I
love when Matty smiles in Gabon. Every time he smiles, he
looks
like a little kid on Christmas. Or the Nazi with the glasses
as
his face begins to melt in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I can't decide
which."
P.P.S.
I would post a picture of me imitating Matty's evil grin, but
I
don't want to steal Coach's bit. Because you know what
happens
when you do. Yes, I am talking to you, Phillip Sheppard.
Bad things happen when people rip off the Dragon Slayer...
