Gary Busey’s red carpet masterpiece

We will shamelessly admit that the clip you are (hopefully) about to watch has nothing to do with sports. But we just couldn’t help ourselves when Jim sent it in. There were many storylines from the Academy Awards last night: the local folks made good (Coens, Cody), the international flavor to many of the major awards, yadda yadda yadda. But it was the red carpet pre-show that really got the party started right. Gary Busey positively terrorized Ryan Seacrest and Jennifer Garner. They looked and acted as though they were legitimately afraid. It was a buffet of delicious train wreck comedy. Please take a look at this video and tell us your favorite part. We have so many.

The best part is Seacrest has no idea who that guy is (Busey).

I just got back into town and have been disconneted from the interwebs for a few days. I see I was named the co-COW last week. I apologize. I blew it. For disobeying your sacred trust I am truly sorry.

Thank you Stu for picking up my slack and submitting a fine COW post on your own. I feel like your lazy younger brother. The Wyatt Donnelly to your Chet Donnelly, if you will. We are unlike in many ways. You live an hour north of the Twin Cities, I live an hour south. You are a political lefty, I lean decidedly right. YOu are clever, I am dull and boring.

But we have a lot in common too. I have lived in western Minnesota (go Dawson-Boyd Blackjacks!). I don’t understand NASCAR.

So thanks again for picking up my dead weight. I will now start down the long road of rebuilding everyone’s trust.

Clarence — I’ll still take one for tomorrow if you’ve got it. You earned it fair and square, even if you shattered our eternal trust.

Busey should have offed the little creep. He gives heteros (and he is, can you believe it) a bad name…the kind of face that calls for a fist..can anyone tell I don’t like the bastard..

Seacrest acts like this is the first time Gary Busey has ever interrupted one of his interviews on the red carpet. This happens monthly

Did anyone notice how the Snakey Sphincter Boy looked away from Busey before whispering in the mic “I don’t know what’s happening on the carpet tonight”..or something to that effect. What a jazzy coward ! Why didn’t he say that to Busey’s huge and ugly face ? Seacrest is exactly like the kid in high school who gets pushed down the steps but luckily doesn’t break any bones since he was banking on “hope and chance” ( I had to say that…)

The lesson, as always: Do not screw with Mr. Joshua.

Hey, I just got an idea for a T-shirt!

The best part was when Seacrest said, “Where’s Ben [Affleck]? We need Ben.” What the hell is Ben Affleck going to do about the situation?!?! Busey would kick him so hard Matt Damon’s spleen would burst.
