The Emmy Awards have come and gone, and pre-award favourites like The Crown, Ted Lasso, and Mare of Easttown did not disappoint.
You can see the full list of winners here, which should help you add a few more titles to your ‘must watch’ list.
The Pandemmys, on the other hand, honour performances of a different type.
Huff Post report that categories this year include “Best Mile High Meltdown,” “Outstanding Dramatic Performance By A Concerned Citizen,” “Outstanding Achievement In Scapegoating,” and “Best Vaccine Incentive That’s Not ‘It Saves Your Life’”.
Hosted by Trevor Noah and The Daily Show, we can spot a number of familiar faces among this year’s nominees.
There’s the magnetic vaccine woman, the ‘Heil Fauci’ guy, and Maxwell Berry, the twat who ended up being duct-taped to his seat by a flight attendant, while other passengers looked on and cheered.
Let’s start with “Best Mile High Meltdown”:
Man, that’s tough.
I think the duct-tape guy edges it for referencing his parents’ wealth.
Next up, “Outstanding Dramatic Performance By A Concerned Citizen”:
Surely nobody comes close to Matt ‘Heil Fauci’ Baker?
While we’re on the theme of Nazi Germany, here’s “Best Historical Adaptation”:
Being denied entry into an event or a restaurant because you willingly choose not to be vaccinated really isn’t the same thing as being sent to Auschwitz.
Next, “Best Vaccine Incentive That’s Not “It Saves Your Life”:
‘Joints for Jabs’ sounds great, but I worry about the post-toke paranoia for those who were hesitant.
Finally, some tough competition in the “The Donald J. Trump “It’s Like the Flu” Award for Worst Covid Prediction” category:
It’s genuinely amazing how many times Ted Cruz can utterly humiliate himself and still get up and go again.
