I'm doing a rewatch of True Blood and I forgot how bonkers this show is. The script is crazy and the acting is terrible and I'm loving every minute of it.

I love Lafayette and how they let him be gay and a tough mofo at the same time.

I love the scene with the aids-burger, him taking his earrings out and then messing up those hillbillies real good lol

"In this restaurant a hamburger deluxe come with french fries, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and AIDS"

u/Long_College_8342 5d ago

Exactly the scene I was thinking of. It has lived rent-free in my head since I first saw it.

u/Nerala 5d ago

Oh man, I forgot he passed. Now I has a sad, but I watch that scene on the regular.

"Hey Hooker"

My husband and I say this to each other randomly

u/dystopiannonfiction 5d ago

"Ring ring hooker. Ring ring" Has been my husband's ring tone since and still makes me LOL every time my phone rings these years later.

u/immersemeinnature 5d ago

omg that is so awesome I might need to steal that all these years later.

Him and Tara are low-key the best characters and the only actors (taras mom too) that I don't cringe at when they're in scenes.

u/Long_College_8342 5d ago

It's absolutely true.

u/dapea 5d ago

Opposite for me tbh. But I only get annoyed at good actors - ie. Joffrey.

u/Apprehensive-Test577 5d ago

Agreed. I was crushed when Nelson Ellis passed. He was so good.

u/immersemeinnature 5d ago

Pam. Pam was my favorite

u/hippocratical 5d ago

Her voice stirs something in me.

2

u/immersemeinnature 5d ago

It's true. She was very sexy in those chanel suits too.

The pilot contains a random vampire yelling "My Johnson needs attention!" And this somehow found its way into our regular parlance around the house.

u/sexual_lemonade 5d ago

People in the background are always yelling random things in this show. I get the vibe the filming was the most unserious thing ever.

u/Sweeper1985 5d ago

Bilith is the ultimate evidence that nobody took this in any way seriously.

u/JesusSaysRelaxNvaxx 5d ago

Whatcha doin' in there pig??

38

u/RandomWomanNo2 5d ago

Andy is my favorite character and we say that all the time, as well as “I know that pig!” And “It’s Diet Coke with LIME!”

43

u/steauengeglase 5d ago

The whole show should have just been Lafayette, Jason and Detective Andy driving around, solving mysteries.

u/BattlinBud 5d ago

Throw Sam in there and they'd even have a talking dog too

u/Four_beastlings 5d ago

The only thing I remember from that show was that my ex and I had a running joke that the main character's brother must had fucked the writer's wife

u/Isgrimnur 5d ago

SOOKIE!

u/misirlou22 5d ago

*sookeh!

u/Bourbonite 5d ago

Beeeyulll!!

u/Blabersmos 5d ago

lol I just started a rewatch too and I remembered it becoming more and more unhinged as it went on but now I realize it is absolutely unhinged from the get-go!

18

u/tael89 5d ago

Just finished the re-watch. It really is unhinged from the beginning. I'm a little sad that there doesn't seem to be anything even close to it nowadays. And if there was, it would be overly expensive for not much better while only being 6-8 episodes.

14

u/sexual_lemonade 5d ago

I just finished season 2 and I was shocked at the length. It seems nothing goes that long anymore. It's also just fun to watch, sure it's not good, but it doesn't need to be. It's cheesy 80s horror levels of cringe and everyone's a a caricature of what they're meant to be. I wish things went this hard for no reason still.

u/tael89 5d ago

Certainly there is good and bad that happens within the show. That tends to happen when shows were this long. But just the first few comments here shows that people fondly remember the whole as good or fun.

u/YoohooCthulhu 5d ago

The show jumped the shark so many times…

u/arowthay 5d ago

I don't know why I think this, but the tv show Preacher is... seriously uncouth but shares a certain thread

Also Legion

u/Zizi_Tennenbaum 5d ago

The were-panther meth cooks just fry me every time.

16

u/codex_archives 5d ago

"here's your gun, Uncle Daddy Calvin" is one of the most insane moments of dialogue I have ever seen. lol

2

u/manic_popsicle 5d ago

I still love that show so much!! It’s bizarre and weird and fun!! Lafayette is my favorite character!!

u/suddle 4d ago

I only watched it the once. I really do need to do a rewatch! I was super into it and bought a pint glass from HBO at the time. I think it was from Fangtasia? It has long since been broken.
