Audge : Ode to Psych

Ode to Psych

By Unknown 8/14/2011 Erika, funny, happiness, Jaren, psych

What do you get when you put an irresponsible, childish, yet fairly intelligent man, a black man that can blow your mind just by saying "Hello" AND tap dances, a cop/detective that......well idk, obscure 80's references, outlandish body movements due to psychic episodes, pineapples, "What.", and endless, ENDLESS awesome intros.

psych. 

I am here to tell you ladies and gentlemen, that you will not find a show quite like this anywhere else. Now, I'm not about to explain the whole show to you poor people that have not been converted. This is however, an ode to psych for those fans who will truly enjoy it. For those poor people I mentioned before, I suggest you reconsider your life right now and think about joining the TRUE cult of psychdom.

If there is one thing that I can never stop enjoying, it is the endless Gus intros. They are too much. I just..can't...handle the awesomeness. You will find "Silly Pants Jackson". You will find "Magic Eight Ball Head". And don't forget Gus "T.T. Showbiz. The extra T is for EXTRA talent." The list goes on. In fact, I have a list for you. How complete it is, I do not know. But for you Psych fans, you should get a kick from it.

Another thing with Psych that I truly enjoy, for some odd reason, is the incessant use of the word "What." I don't know about you, but I never knew that the word "what" could be used in so many ways. If you don't understand what I mean, I suggest you watch the following clip.

Because of this, I have broken the rules of grammar and used the word "what" in similar ways as Shawn and Gus.

Another highly enjoyable aspect of this show would have to be Shawn's frequent use of the phrase, "Gus, don't be....." It's amazing to me the amount of things that Shawn can continually think of. Amazing. See for yourself.

Psych never ceases to entertain me. From the witty lines, to the dumb lines that make you laugh anyways, to shawn and gus' arguing, to the Mary the man (just ask him to shake your hand sometime), to Gus' conversation starters--"Heard about Pluto? That's messed up."---to the infamous and always victorious fist bumps. It is the best thing that has happened to TV. Thank you.

To end this, I would like to list some of MY personal favorite quotes.

Burton 'Gus' Guster: Brazilian airport codes. How do you know that?
Shawn Spencer: I lived in an airport for a month, Gus.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: That was Tom Hanks in The Terminal.
Shawn Spencer: Same difference.

Receptionist: There is a Lt. Crunch here to see you.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Crunch?
Shawn Spencer: [enters, dressed in a Civil War uniform] Actually, I've been promoted. It's Captain Crunch.

Shawn Spencer: I can't believe this. You lifted your look right off this mannequin!
Burton 'Gus' Guster: On the contrary, Shawn. Clearly, someone is stealing my look.
Shawn Spencer: Right... I did see Tommy Hilfiger creeping from bush to bush sketching you.

Carlton Lassiter: Now I need to know your process.
Shawn Spencer: Do you really want to know my process?
Carlton Lassiter: Absolutely.
Shawn Spencer: Well, it starts with a holla! and ends with a Creamsicle.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: And if there's time in between? ThunderCats. Ho-oh!

Shawn: "Wow... Dad. Tell me you're wearing that shirt because someone has to spot you from space."

Shawn: "Could you please just say, 'Magically Delicious'?"

Shawn: "Don't take pictures of things, take pictures of moments."

And this...this is one of my favorite couple of scenes of all time. You can stop watching after you see Gus walking. :)
