THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!
Guys, what do the above things have in common?
Yes, it's incredibly annoying when people just throw them around without any genuinely funny context for them. And unless you wrote them, there never will be any funny context for them. You see, we know you might like Clone High or Dave Chapelle, but we don't appreciate all the quotes.
Similarly, we all love Clone High and miss it dearly. But a lot of us secretly hope it doesn't come back, because we don't want a bunch of mouth breathers who say 'I AH WANT A ER UH PARTY PLATTER' every other sentence because they think it's funny. I can see that this is already happening.
Clone High was great, it was handled very well, surprisingly consistent, and rather clever (yet still insanely accessible) for an mtv show. It seems to me, MTV seems to either cash in, or make crap that isn't funny, because awkward situations are supposedly the new funny.
I loved that Clone High had more in common with the style and humour of Dexter's Lab than say, Beavis and Butthead. It's what made the show great.
The show wasn't canceled because people didn't get it, people who say that aren't giving people in general as much credit as they deserve. It was canceled because it failed to get ratings, and it failed to get ratings because of very poor marketing. It's cult fanbase didn't appear until it was too late because that is how long it took for people to finally hear about the show.

posts like these put me in a really weird space, my instincts tell me to respond with an equal level of vehemence and perceived hate. My good sense tells me to chill the fuck out ad take the dude's advice with a grain of salt. So I'm gonna go with my good sense and just chill the fuck out.
However, I do need to say that to take a simple misstep and inflate it to the size of a cardinal sin is what the chinese call using a scimitar to kill a chicken. Fun maybe...but unnecessary. I'm a reasonable guy, if you have a problem with the way I post, PM me and I'll take it under advisement. It's not like I started a brand new thread to talk about a topic that's already being covered just to post a quote.

The best show that MTV ever cancelled, BAR FUCKING NONE, was Austin Stories. All the episodes are up on YouTube. It was and is goddamn amazingly well-done. It's pretty much "What if Richard Linklater wrote for Seinfeld?"
The "Fiona Apple girl" episode. Oh God, I'm gonna have to watch that one again now.
NB: Show may not be as funny if you were born in the 90s, I think.
