This is Why Isla Fisher is Hot

We all recognize Isla Fisher as the nympho psychopath Gloria in Wedding Crashers.

I kind of knew she was hot but I don’t think I ever fully appreciated how hot she really is. I dismissed her because she was so short compared to Vince Vaughn and had a secondary role in the movie. She then did about 10-15 movies of which I’ve never heard of (chick flicks) and then she popped up in Arrested Development as (Rebel Alley) and when I saw her I didn’t even recognize it was Isla Fisher. I thought to myself, “holy shit, who’s the total babe with a killer rack and beautiful face?” After some discussion with Sam, we confirmed it was Isla Fisher and she’s now 37! I swear she looks better at 37 than she did 7 years ago in Wedding Crashers. Now I have a feeling she may have had some work done but I thought enough of her to dedicate an entire blog post. Plus she’s married to Sacha Baron Cohen, converted to Judaism, and seems like a hilarious person to be around. I bet they throw the best dinner parties. A look at the transgression of Isla through her film years. Doesn’t she get hotter?

Come On

This phrase has been sweeping the Stortz household by storm.. I think it actually has moved above Hey Brother in popularity. The great part about it is that you can pretty much use it anytime. Bad ping-pong shots. When the cat doesn’t clean up it’s own poop. Virtually anything. The volume of the come on can also be switched which makes it even funnier. It’s just a fantastic phrase that I can’t really see ever dying.

Most Underrated

Flo-Rida

I might be a bit off here calling him underrated but I still am not sure people realize how much popular music he has come up with. Notice I used popular and not good. Bottom line though is that even though every single “rap” he creates sounds exactly the same, he has his name on so many tracks that he has to be considered at the top in terms of worldwide appeal. Just to give you an idea of some of the songs that are labeled his or he has an appearance in:
Low, Right Round, Sugar, In the Ayer, Where Them Girls At, Club Can’t Handle Me, Who Dat Girl, Hangover, Good Feeling and Wild Ones
I don’t listen to a lot of this popular mainstream music but I’m aware of its existence and I’ve heard of every one of these songs. That’s at least 10 well known tracks in a 3-4 year period which is hard to do. I think the fact that chorus on all the songs are so damn catchy that he’s just along for the ride and this would actually make him overrated. Results speak though.

Jeremy Lin

Jeremy Lin underrated!?!?! Yes, he is underrated. Why? Simply because his team is 9-3 since he’s been getting substantial minutes and that is getting overlooked by “linsanity”. The easiest thing to say about Jeremy is that he’s a flash in the pan and his day will fade just like so many others. I tend to think that this will not be the case and here’s why, he’s smart. He thinks about the game at a high analytical level. I can tell from listening to him talk that he learns how teams are defending his tendencies and he’s constantly thinking of ways to beat them. He turns the ball over a ridiculous amount of times but that will improve with experience. He fills up the stat sheets and as long as he keeps winning, I don’t see why people think he’ll burn out. Underrated might be the wrong word but I actually think he’ll get better (or remain as hot as he’s been) before he gets worse which would prove plenty of people wrong.

Arrested Development

I’ve caved and will give this show credit. It’s subtle, witty humor has come a long way with me. I still don’t think it’s the greatest show on television which I’m sure people think but it has its hilarious moments. Each character has their own unique offering that just gives the show so much substance. My personal favorite is Buster Bluth and the “hey brother” but his character is hilarious in just about every scene. Gob is such comic relief that it’s a shame Will Arnett sort of bombs in other roles. Portia is smoking hot and it sucks she’s a lesbo. My pure hate for Jason Bateman has subsided as I feel he does a good job keeping the story moving without getting in the way or being annoying which differs from my earlier thoughts. The Mom and Dad are wonderful and Tobias has some of the best lines in network TV that I’ve ever heard. 3 seasons is indeed too short for a high quality network series like this.
