Bitch, don't steal my line
Heroes vs. Villains - finale
Ha ha. Okay now here is another quick little visual
moment that absolutely had me on the floor the first time I saw it.
Then I completely forgot about it. And then when I
went
back to re-watch Heroes vs Villains it had me on the floor again.
Because it just goes to show you how entertaining Coach and
his
ridiculous Coach shtick can be.
As always, Coach has the ability to be unintentionally hilarious...
even when he isn't actually doing anything.
The Heroes vs Villains final Tribal Council
It's
the final Tribal Council in Heroes vs. Villains, and Parvati is giving
her opening speech. And about midway through her speech, she
is
going to say something that will get a very obvious reaction out of
Coach in the jury. Watch and see. You will never
watch the
final Tribal Council in H vs V the same way again.
Here is Parvati's speech in its entirety:
"I came into this game knowing I was gonna play with twenty of
the best Survivors ever."
"What I didn't realize was... the threat that I was. To
everyone in this game."
"So immediately I had to put a line of defense together and... that's
where Russell came in."
And this is where the comedy ensues...
"He was... uh... The Dragon."
The
minute Parvati jumps in and steals Coach's Dragon/Dragonslayer analogy,
the camera immediately cuts to Coach's reaction in the jury.
And
sure enough, it is exactly what we expect it is going to be.
He
scowls and grinds his jaw, and then shakes his head angrily at her.
Ha ha. I love it.
I'm sure if we could read
Coach's thoughts at this moment, they would probably be some variant of
"That's my line bitch, don't you even steal it."
"Bitch, don't even..."
"You are NOT the Dragon Slayer..."
Even Probst looks up to see Coach's reaction to that comment
Undeterred, Parvati just smiles innocently up at Coach and then keeps
going.
"And instead of slaying him, I kept him as my pet. And he
displayed his loyalty at the end to me. And only to me."
Candice cracks up at the fact that Parvati is stealing Coach's storyline
Ha
ha. I love this little moment. It's just
so Coach.
Because here you have this guy with the most ridiculous
"Dragon
Slayer" storyline, here's this guy who has based his entire Survivor
identity and Survivor character around being "The Dragon Slayer" for
two seasons, and then when the game is on the line and it counts the
most, Parvati steps in and she swipes his analogy.
And sure enough, there's Coach reaction in the jury. And he
immediately gets all pissy about it.
Ha
ha, awesome. I love the look on Coach's face. I
love the
way that Parvati plays it. I love the whole dynamic between
the
two of them. You really won't see many final Tribal Council
moments that are better than this. Like I said, Coach has the
unique ability to be the star of a scene, even when he isn't doing
anything. This moment is just perfect.
Parvati and Coach's reaction in all of its glory
P.S.
I hope you enjoyed this entry as much as I did. A
moment
like this (Parvati and Coach fighting over who gets to be called the
Dragon Slayer) is the pure essence of what I set out to do when I
created the Funny 115. I just love when I get to
write about
a little subtle character moment like this.
