Let’s be the most PUTRID moments of SEX AND THE CITY!!

Carrie and her cringeworthy quips.

Geri Halliwell's "acting".

"What ELSE can you possibly DO in this heat?"

Actually, anytime an extra "acts" on that show was pretty terrible.

Not to mention Heather Fucking Graham!

"Carriebradshaw??ffffmmmm"

I am woman, hear me roar.

R4 wins

I'm "Sometimes I would buy Vogue instead of dinner. I felt it fed me more."

Aidan’s new girlfriend’s violent face spams whenever Carrie’s name is uttered in her presence.

"Paper beats Rock"

When Carrie let that putrid ripper in Big's bed and spoiled his Egyptian cotton

R9 oh fuck oh god

Is that the scrunchie episode R8? God she was annoying in that one. "A SCRUNCHIE!" in that whining voice.

oh no, the fart was hilarious.

I’m “a sku-rrUUNCHY!”

The scrunchie episode was horrible. There was no way to justify that Carrie was anything but horribly wrong and a complete asshole for saying what she did to Berger. A non-writer would even know you don't criticize someone's work with whom you're close, ESPECIALLY if they aren't looking for criticism. But to have a character who was a fellow writer do it is just tone deaf UNLESS the point was to show that Carrie felt threatened by Berger's talent and needed to make herself feel better by finding a criticism.

However, that's not what the writers of the episode did They spent the rest of the episode justifying Carrie's remark and in the end making sure she won the argument.

I’m Samantha’s deranged “I HAVE SEX!!!” pelvic thrusting.

Abu Dhabi do!!!

Carrie taking a que from her monkey forefathers and throwing food around to assert her dominance.

I am Samantha’s full Chola makeup in the movies.

I'm "if you're tired, you take a napa, you don't move to Napa."

I'm Carrie getting pissed off because Charlotte didn't offer down payment money while Samantha and Miranda did, and when Charlotte tells me that it's not her responsibility to deal with my financial problems, I remind her that the only reason she has her apartment is because she got it in her divorce, as if that matters at all to the issue at hand.

I'm Anthony telling Charlotte that if the Chinese adoption doesn't work out, don't worry, because he knows a gay couple who got a kid from Guatemala for, like, $100. My nephews are adopted from Guatemala and may some day see that.

I'm Carrie's try-to-hard-to-make-a-first-impression French spoken to Alexander's daughter who seems terribly unimpressed.

I'm Chloe's delight at Carrie's mangling of French:

"Oh! You don't speak French!" - the only time I smile, and it's a big one.

Sorry, OP.

I read the thread title and that was the first thing that jumped to mind. So, I posted quickly without reading the thread.

Carry's cartoonish "French" outfit, with beter and black & white stripes of course, when she arrived to Paris.

R21: hopefully your sense of humour (or lack of) won’t rub off on them

I’m Carrie’s annoying squeals and shrieks that she seemed to develop overnight around the start of season 5. God knows why SJP/the writers thought that made her endearing somehow. It was always so forced and fake too.

I'm Steve's baby voice.

I'm Carrie's performative shrieking - shrieking at the squirrel at Adian's cabin, shrieking at the rat when looking at Big's girlfriend's movie episode, shrieking when the rough chicks threaten the crew at a bar, shrieking when she gets caught in the rain, and on and on.

Lawrence of my labia.

I'm Trey MacDougal, busted by Charlotte while whacking off to Juggs in the master bath.

Ok, perhaps this one is more hilarious than putrid.

R30 On a related note....Dick Spurt.

The episode when Carrie went with Aidan to his cabin for the first time. As if it wasn't bad enough she wore a cocktail dress and Manolos out to the fucking woods, she then lost her shit and screamed at the first sight....of a squirrel. She can fuck right off.

I’m Carrie’s snotty, godawful reaction to Aiden’s desire to get Kentucky Fried Chicken for supper: “My dinner was about to arrive IN. A. BUCKET!”

Of course John Corbin used the phrase “mashed ‘taters’” so they can both die in a grease fire.

I'm Samantha's chemical peel right before Carrie's book launch.

R8 that scene is textbook “kill your darling.”

I'm Carrie insisting she needs Samantha to attend said book launch then being disgusted with her when Sam does show up

Carrie's first wedding dress. So ridiculously over the top, she deserved to be jilted.

Two words: Tookus lingus. Not for the act itself, but for the ladies' collective shrill revulsion at the thought of reciprocating and Miranda's refusal to do so.

All the shingle ladiesh, all the shingle ladiesh!

R17 Oh, dear…

R17 Yikes! That's some horrible acting. I've never seen SATC and this doesn't quiet excite me.

I'm Carrie's meltdown about her bisexual, young date, even though he told her up front and asked if she had a problem with it.

I'm Carrie's answer that she has no problem with it, only to bitch and moan and insult him at breakfast with the girls.

I'm Miranda's general buzz kill vibe.

That's such a horrible scene R43, that looked behind the times the year it came out.

I'm the PUTRID first draft of Carrie's debut freelance Vogue article.

Editor Enid Frick (played by Candice Bergen): "The assignment was 500 words about accessories, not men. And I'm not convinced she knows anything about purses. Or, for that matter, men. Miss Bradshaw, what you've handed us here is essentially your newspaper column with the word 'style' jammed in where the word 'sex' used to be. We're not looking for Vogue according to your agenda. No one CARES about your agenda. Oh excuse me, **I** don't care about your agenda. I want less Carrie Bradshaw, and more, carry this bag with these shoes. Do you see what I mean? You're a WRITER, you should be writing this down."

Carrie: "I was trying to find a way to introduce the bags and the bracelets with a little humor. A kind of, 'men are the new black.' It was supposed to be funny."

Enid: "It was supposed to be BAGS."

B--U--R--N! 🔥☄️

I'm Carrie's totally off the rails reaction when, after she meets her new gay shoe distributor friend (played by Murray Bartlett) and ditches Aiden for the night to go out with him, becomes totally unhinged when he gets a lot of attention from gay dudes and isn't paying total attention to her causing her to leave in a huff.

I’m Carrie’s condescending “You don’t get it” to Charlotte and the girls on the Abu Dhabi flight after she explained how her husband needs to take two days off a week away from her.

I'm Carrie going through Aidan's bag, finding an engagement ring, throwing up, and then bitching about the ring to the girls.

Steve's skidmarks.

Dear Martha. Funky spunk. Help!

Dear Funky. Try a hint of mint.

Carrie's bullshit idea that she pulled out of her ass when she lied about an idea for a book just so she could meet Big's ex-wife.

A children's book for adults. About magic cigarettes.

I’m Charlotte experiencing gastric distress in the hot tub (in the first movie). For a property about sex, why did SATC have a 6-year-old’s obsession with bathroom stuff?

I’m the transphobic jokes when Samantha gets annoyed with the trans sex workers outside her window.

Miranda accidentally getting baby diaper sh.t on her face.

Miranda accidentally getting old man jism shot on her face.

"Apparently Charlotte was experiencing "za za JEW."

R54, those trannies were annoying as fuck though.

I’m the dropped hymn book when bunny-boiling Carrie shows up at church to check out Big’s mother.

I’m also Miranda’s giant nipples when she’s breastfeeding Brady. (I know they’re rubber but even fucking so....🤮)

I'm the annoying noise Aidan made when kissing Carrie.

The bitch servant Sum who lied about Samantha.

She treated Samantha terribly

R34- Carrie was right in this case. He's a FUCKIN HICK for buying and eating SHITTY KFC in NYC when there are so many CHEAP better things to eat.

The entire implausible Russian storyline. "Go get our girl."

R59- Mr. Big was supposed to be an Upper Class Park Ave WASP. I did not buy that Trey YES but Mr. Big looked like a husky blue collar worker from Michigan who struck it rich not a Park Avenue WASP

I'm Carrie lighting up a smoke without asking if it's allowed or even appropriate. When the hostess tells me to go outside I have a tantrum.

This drove me crazy. I used to smoke but I would never just light up if I did not see ashtrays or if I was in an enclosed space with non-smokers and never in someone's home. Talk about classless and ill-mannered.

I never could understand that bit of snobbery R34. Carrie ate Big Macs.

"A scru-UNCHH-eee!!!"

God, yes, the squirrel scene. Do they not have wildlife in NYC?

Carrie ate Big Macs and a McDonald's apple pie. What was she doing being such a snob about KFC?

Carrie and the diaphragm stuck in her vadge.

It might be easier to list the moments in SATC that weren't putrid.

Miranda's arc in the "My Motherboard, My Self" episode was one of the best-written pieces in the series.

"Dolce, Dolce, Dolce" as the bitch actually levitated.

Miranda putting "skinny" jeans on her fat ass and suddenly having hot guys throw themselves at her

LOL, R59, Carrie did have many bunny-boiling moments related to her obsession with Mr. Big. The funny thing is the real Carrie, Candace Bushnell, only dated the real person who inspired Mr. Big (Ron Galotti) for a year and moved on with no obsessing over him. They have actually remained friendly. He got married and moved to Vermont.

I'm Carrie standing on the bed trying to pry open a box I've found in my current fuck's apartment.

Miranda meeting a super friendly couple for a threesome and then ditching them

YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE ME!

Carrie eats that FUCKING grape.

R75 that guy was gorgeous.

Carrie's Paris outfit was terrible. Way to show you're a gauche tourist and she was always overdressed.

Agree, R79. Of all her male companions, he was my fave. My exact type.

The BEST part of the show is a tossup between Carrie being dumped via Post-it, or being mistaken for a hooker - twice!

Oh my god, yes, R78.

"Les rideaux de fenêtre" - fingers curtains after jauntily popping grape in mouth.

Didn't Carrie trip and fall on her face and the French laughed at her?

How about Samantha taking a cross country Amtrak ride just so she could fuck as many passengers as possible.

These women were never to be looked up to or admired.

I’m Charlotte, shocked and annoyed that Bunny MacDougall would want me to sign a prenup with her son when we got engaged after only dating for five seconds.

The joke was on Samantha. The male train passengers were all married and uninterested in cheating. I actually liked Samantha the most at the beginning because she was an unapologetic whore and didn't judge others but as the show went on I thought she became too recklessly whorish and engaged in self-destructive behavior. I actually starting liking Miranda more by the end.

That train episode was the worst.

This thread is useless without clips.

The Amtrak excursion was funny.

I'm Lexi's PUTRID impression of what has become of New York City. "I'm so bored, I could die." Then, well, she did just that.

SPLAT!

R90- She was such a BIG GOON. It was a funny scene.

PS: One of the BEST moments of the entire series is in the Lexi clip, when she exclaimed an exasperated "FUCK YOU!" at Carrie.

Carrie is indeed so exasperating, this line probably deserves to encapsulate the entire series and films including that PUTRID second movie.

I'm the episode where Samantha breaks up with the Italian guy because his dick is too huge.

I mean, come on. Really? Can you imagine?

I actually like the little short guy who rocked Sam's world. He reminded me of an obnoxious prick I knew who threw one mean fuck.

I’m c-c-curly Carrie telling Big his girl is lovely.

R90 I liked this one. Kristen Johnston was great.

For how bad the show is, this is a great scene for any sitcom.

Berger's friends all knew what a cunt Carrie was.

Miranda dumping Robert so she could get back with loser Steve.

Clearly Charlotte and Samantha also thought she was unhinged

When Maria has the elusive female ejaculation in Samantha's eye.

"Let's stay at home and relax in the bath and talk."

Carrie and the Russian was the most unlikely coupling ever. She was uncultured, crass and chomped gum FFS. She was not interested in art and he was total dick to her friends.

I’m Samantha’s pink bush.

I'm the whole self-elevating narrative of "Hubbell" when Big marries Natasha and Carrie and the girl's convince themselves that Carrie is too passionate, wild, and complex, and that's the reason Big didn't want to be with her.

Smith forgiving Samantha and taking her back home after she fucked her ex doggie style in the bedroom at the house party.

That's actually when I started finding Samantha pathetic and self-destructive R105.

I'm Samantha's unhinged hostility towards the doctor who was telling her possible reasons cancer develops.

When I watch the show now I find some of Miranda's storylines resonate with me the most. Her anxiety attacks after buying her own apartment, her fear of dying all alone, dealing with her mom's death, coming to terms with the class difference between herself and Steve and, on the whole, at least being honest enough to apply the same standards to herself that she did to her friends.

Charlotte: Halva!

Carrie: Well you don't have to hollah!

When Carrie told Burger:

“Um how am I gonna fit all of THAT into my teeny anus?!”

Jennifer Hudson as a modern day Mammy to Carrie’s Scarlett. MY VERY OWN LOUIS VUITTON!!!! Cringe cringe cringe

Samantha referring to a priest she’s trying to seduce as Friar Fuck

And that purse was ugly as sin too R111. Are some women so dumb they'd pay that much money for an ugly piece of shit just because of a name?

I'm Miranda deciding to have Brady circumcised because she doesn't want his dick to look like a Shar-Pei.

Samantha: You dated Mr Big. I'm dating Mr Too Big.

Carrie: You're unbelievable. You dumped James because he was too small. This guy is too big. What are you, Goldicocks?

Samantha: Yes. I want one that's just right.

Samantha having sex with the gay male couple but they stop once the guys get a whiff of her pussy. Then they go out for gelato. Cheesecake. Whatever.

I'm R19 and her 5 followers who are to self absorbed to read the original fucking post.

Not a fan of Carrie's but Chloe was a little cunt. Rude as hell. Typical French bitch.

Skipper taking a phone call from Miranda and making a date with her while his dick was still inside his current girlfriend.

"I'm [R19] and her 5 followers who are to self absorbed to read the original fucking post."

I'm R117, to self absorbed to read the thread and learn that R19 realized his mistake and apologized for it a few posts later.

"too self absorbed"

R93- Funny was the scene where Samantha breaks up with James because his penis is TOO small and when she tells the therapist his penis is too small, the therapist says-

I HEAR YA!

R94- That short guy was HOT. I would do him.

R1 - one of my favorite scenes! Thanks!

The up my ass players

All of these were putrid. I'm also Team Miranda. I never understood why she got so much hate. Because she wasn't sexy and lived in the real world?

Samantha announcing over brunch that someone’s spunk tasted funky.

R126 - I hated Miranda because she was a know-it-all man hater. Steve was WAY too good for her.

In the first movie when Samantha had to feed jilted Carrie because she was too depressed to eat.

Miranda may not be everyone's cup of tea, but Steve was awful.

I'm Carrie's faux ghetto "no you DEH'ehnt"

Steve's baby voice....ugh.

Miranda on the date with the hot cop and she blows it by drinking too much. She got laid though.

Now not only did you ruin my marriage, you also ruined my lunch.

My dog climbed up on your dick......DECK

[quote]the ladies' collective shrill revulsion at the thought of reciprocating

I do!

R133, Natasha was the second Mrs Big. He said s first wife was the woman who worked in publishing, the one Carrie went to check out and ended up pitching her bullshit idea (a children's book for adults about magic cigarettes) to.

I'm Carrie's totally ridiculous and ugly hat that Berger calls out in the same episode where she's making fun of scrunchies.

Filming a movie in a country with a woman-hating, man-hating religion-based government.

Do we really need to give that kind of government money?

gay-man hating***

The "I'm a New Yorker, I can have whatever I want" entitlement from Carrie.

I'm Carrie's overriding conservative and traditional views on sex and relationships despite being a sex columnist who is supposed to be open minded. I judge water sports, I judge gay men, I judge bisexuality, I even judge Samatha blowing the Worldwide Express guy even though I've had plenty of casual sex.

Despite the life I lead and sometimes vocal cynicism towards "fraus" and the suburban life, deep down I want nothing more than to be a "normal" woman - with a big house, a husband, and kids - and to look down on people that don't have that. Basically I want Laney Berlin's life in Connecticut - but with great shoes.

Charlotte is at least honest about it.

R111, Saint Louise from St. Louis carrying Louis Vuitton while singing Louie Louie in Louisville...barf.

Carrie interviewing assistants in Starbucks and one is a gorgeous Asian guy in a conservative suit and hot pink pumps. Carrie has a look of horror on her face and the guy gives her gay face back.

Carrie wanted a rich husband but not kids.

Carrie suggesting that the congressman “dribble warm tea” on her because she was too reserved to take his hot load of piss on her titties and face.

R145 I thought the politician wanted Carrie to pee on him, not the other way around.

R115 another darling that should have been killed. I wonder if the writers of this show came up with the punchlines first and then just built the plots around them.

R90 the sad thing is that the alternate universe show with Lexi as the main character would have been so much better.

R143, yeah that bugged me too. For a supposedly open-minded sex columnist with a gay friend she was pretty homophobic. That guy would have been a hoot for an assistant.

Why did they try to make Carrie into a WASP? She looks more Jewish than Charlotte’s rabbi.

Harry plopping his naked dirty ass on Charlotte’s white furniture. Eek.

I'm Steve and Miranda's racist(?) assumption that Miranda's black boyfriend (played by Blair Underwood) broke Steve's TV after Miranda left him to go back to Steve. Steve then learns that Dr. Robert Leeds isn't sweating losing Miranda.

I’m Cynthia Nixon who is naturally pretty but was uglied up because ….

R91 I agree. I adore Kristin Johnston, and thought she was great in that part. That getup Carrie is sporting (the open-back dress with a visible bra) is the truly putrid part of that clip. It isn't as if Sarah Jessica Parker needed a bra at that point anyway.

Samantha weeping during the funeral for Miranda's mother is good acting. SJP could never achieve it.

They should have made Lexie a recurring character. Of course there was no way that SJP was going to allow that scene stealer on set again.

The other one off character who was fun was that eurotrash party girl, Amelita Amalfi. "he has the tiniest little penis"

"But I get final Calcutta."

Ugh. Ugh!

[quote]I wonder if the writers of this show came up with the punchlines first and then just built the plots around them.

Pretty sure they did, especially when naming people:

"Dr Mao, or as I call him: Dr WOW!"

Meh. Amalita kept going on and on about how fabulous Carrie was.

You just described the entire Steel Magnolias script R158.

Oh, Sammy's so confused that he don't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt.

They were both high. They'd been smokin' everything but their shoes.

I'm just screamin' at my husband; I can do that any time!

Smile! It increases your face valyeew!

The only thing that separates us from the animals that are our ability to accessorize.

It's as if they found the script in a pile of throw pillows stitched with quotes.

Showtune queen Bobby Fine, played by Nathan Lane, asserting his heterosexuality and attraction to Bitsy's "von Muffling."

I was born at night, but not LAST night. PUTRID!

Carrie looked her nose down on dinner in a bucket. But she would have approved of a feed bag.

"Meh. Amalita kept going on and on about how fabulous Carrie was."

She only did it so she could pimp Carrie out. Wanted to inflate her so she'd come out to wherever Amalita was and fuck one of the guys in her international crew. Carrie obliges with the French guy, but passes the second time.

It would save time just to list the parts that actually have stood the test of time.

As for a former Annie singing a Helen Reddy song:

That's why I think she could have been a character maybe once a year in an episode. Whenever Carrie was broke or mad at Big she could be tempted go for one of the Eurotrash men and she already had her price set. Would have been more fun than her whining and shrieking about Big or whatever guy she was stalking at the time.

Miranda getting rimmed.

Carrie attempting to apologize to Natasha after she destroyed her marriage and caused her to chip her tooth.

Any scene involving Mario Cantone who created the most irritating character in the history of television.

I'm the time Carrie offered to pour warm tea on the politician (John Slattery) because she was too squeamish to piss on him.

I loved it when he dumped her later because his advisors told him her column was too skanky or seamy or something like that.

Charlotte innocently friending a group of lesbians then being shunned by their leader because ‘if you don’t eat pussy you’re not a dyke.’

^That woman was a QUEEN. Next!

The scenes where Samantha was with a lesbian in a “relationship” were difficult to watch and believe. She’s too much of a cock-whore to believe she’d ever be satisfied with a woman exclusively.

[quote] [R143], yeah that bugged me too. For a supposedly open-minded sex columnist with a gay friend she was pretty homophobic. That guy would have been a hoot for an assistant.

It wasn't that she was homophobic, it's that she knew he would steal her shoes.

[quote]Any scene involving Mario Cantone who created the most irritating character in the history of television.

Not when TV foisted Danny Pintauro, Sean Hayes, and Chris Colfer on us.

Is it possible Sex and the City was attempting some sort of a satire about women like Carrie? Is she supposed to be a cautionary tale?

Whatever it was, it failed, and it set women back to the pre-feminist bad old days.

R175, I think that would make the show actually great if that was what was happening but I think the audience is meant to go "oh, that Carrie....she's such a flawed person but she's just look cute and loveable, I want her to be happy!". But she's such a piece of shit.

The "Carrie is a piece of shit" takes didn't really happen until after the series had run and there were a lot of "reconsidering SATC" think pieces. Not that the sentiment is wrong, but I don't remember Carrie being THAT hated when the show was originally on the air.

I'm the "Za-za-za-ZOOOOOOO."

The huge painting of Charlotte’s vagina.

Now I know why [italic]The Golden Girls[/italic] left it to your imagination.

Charlotte the prissy frau who didn't like sucking cock or taking it up her ass but was OK to rim and be rimmed by Trey?

I must have missed that one R182.

Has Charlotte's vulvadinia aka her depressed vagina been mentioned yet? Just like Dorothy and her CFS in Golden Girls, Charlotte's medical problem was only ever an issue for the duration of that one episode.

“You always knew I was more Coco Chanel than coq au vin.”

When Miranda had braces put on (to help her with a medical issue that was causing migraines), they embarrassed her on one date and so she immediately had them removed.

I had braces as a teen. This was one of those "wow, people who write for TV really don't know how real life works" moments.

R184: “ Just like Dorothy and her CFS in Golden Girls, Charlotte's medical problem was only ever an issue for the duration of that one episode.”

FUCK RIGHT OFF! Dorothy’s CFS lasted TWO GLORIOUS EPISODES!

Also, Miranda’s tongue thrusting was ridiculous.

Samantha getting her period while having sex with her repulsive, creepy neighbor played by Patti LuPone.

How has this abortion of a scene not been posted yet? SJP channeling her inner wide eyed Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale as she marvels at the Arab women wearing “Louis Vuitton!!!!” under their burkas to say nothing of the lunacy of pretending Suzanne Somers’s book was all the rage after having been out for years. This movie and scene eroded any potential goodwill by even the most ardent fans of SATC.

It's Carrie thinking she's being sexy while licking ketchup off her upper lip when she ran into Berger on the way to the Hamptons.

The Miranda storyline I hated was the one where she went speed dating, pretended to be a flight attendant in order to land a date for Charlotte's wedding and then dumped him when she found out that he had lied about being a doctor and that he actually worked in a sporting goods store instead.

Charlotte fucking SCREAMING in nearly every scene in the first movie.

YOU HAVE A [italic]DOG[/italic]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There would have been no reason for Miranda to be prescribed braces for tongue thrusting. If you're going to need to put a character in braces to force fit a storyline into the episode theme, at least make it somewhat believable.

Top this hate crime set to music:

I was in Austin for a weekend on business when SATC 2 was in theaters. I was getting together with an old friend who lived there and I really wanted to go to the Alamo Drafthouse, which I had never been to at that time. The only thing playing that neither of us had seen and both of us could tolerate was SATC 2 (even though I had heard it was awful). I cannot tell you how fucking agonizing it was to sit through that movie and not be able to jeer it because of the Drafthouse's very stringent policy against talking in the theater. Not that I'm one of those people who does that or enjoys others doing it, but when a movie is this fucking bad, and everyone in the theater knows it, that's a different story. I nearly bit my tongue clean off trying to stop myself.

I've never rewatched the first SATC movie and have never seen the second movie. It always gets flamed around here and sound awful. Is it even so-bad-it's good fun?

The first one is bearable R196 but bad, the second don't even bother. It's absolutely cringeworthy. Samantha's absolute stupid recklessness and Carrie's gauche, wide-eyed Dorothy in Oz routine is just unwatchable.

If you love to hate-watch, R196, by all means watch both.

The first movie is fun to watch if you are a fan of the series. The second one however with a little time and distance is bad but not as awful as everyone makes it out to be. Carrie is still an insufferable twat and there are some nice moments with Miranda and Charlotte. The Samantha storyline boarders on Islamaphobic but its beautifully shot. Its still a hot mess all around.

Its funny if you go watch old clips of the show on You Tube there seems to be a general feeling that most people loved Carrie at the time of the show and despise her now. So funny.

They made Samantha do the most humiliating things in the second movie. Did Kim read the script or just take the money and run.

R200 Why do you think Kim isn’t doing anymore SATC?

Why is this piece of shit series coming back?

WHY? Who wants this? Who asked for this? Who is responsible?

I blame Sarah Horseface Parker. Fucking miserable cow.

Kim posted something saying she was in NYC and people are freaking out trying to figure out if she has a cameo of some sort.

Admission: I genuinely liked it upon first watch, during the initial run. And the first 3 seasons is still fun every few years. I agree with all the "Carrie sucks" opinions, but she's fun to hate and, again, those first 3 or 3.5 seasons were well written and I can still enjoy them.

It’s funny how once the show went into production and the focus is now on the other three Kim is posting on Instagram much more than she usually does and she had to know posting that she’s in nyc would lead to speculation.

R200 - R205. Stay on topic. ThIs thread is about specific scenes in the series and movies. There are other threads available for your unoriginal posts.

R206, How is a policing post on topic. We'll post what we want.

Oh, and don't post what other people should post. You like being told what to post?

Berger broke up with me in an off-topic post.

"Yew wah fye-yuh-wer! I give you fye-yuh-wer!"

I liked Miranda and Charlotte more than I liked Samantha and Carrie .NO woman with an ounce of self esteem would have put up with Big's shit. Samantha was fun at first,but turned into a caricature of herself by season 3.

I'm every moment of the worst show in the series when it looked like the writers had all quit and scabs had replaced them. The "I'm taking a LOVAH" episode with the stupid perfume sniffing, Miranda being a moron about the black guy she dated (as Steve goes up to take care pf things, right), Charlotte's blind schtick in the store, and Samantha dumping perfect blonde boy to fuck nasty James Remar for no reason whatsoever except to be a psychobitch. One cringe after another.

Horrible as I was, I'm ready for my second Oscar, bitches.

I never could get the attraction for Big. Carrie was obsessed with him. I guess money and she thought that was her ticket to NYC high society?

Tall, dark and handsome, rich and unattainable - the NYC unicorn for straight women.

^ and straight

Big was perfection to me. None of the ridiculous NYC metrosexual behaviors for him. He was all man. He certainly wouldn’t have run screaming from a little mouse, like Charlotte’s chef boyfriend did.

I can see the attraction for big. He was handsome if not blazingly hot. He had his shit together financially and thus could treat Carrie to a lot.

He's the opposite of the no-money, free-spirit, "exciting" guys that women will go for because of the adventure and because the sex is good.

Women put up with Big being staid and not that exciting, because he has money and sometimes lack of adventure and excitement is a positive, as long as the sex is still decent.

Carrie was always fighting between those two types - which women want at different times in their lives. Or they want both, but obviously can't get both from the same person.

Carrie stalked Big and was always pushing for more from the relationship too soon. Basically, the kind of girl men run from.

I got the relationship between Carrie and Big because I had a somewhat comparable relationship with my ex. Big/my ex were the type of guys who forever withheld making you feel like they really loved you, but would hint or give small "victories" so you thought they were all in but just couldn't show it. What I learned from my youth (started seeing him in my early 20s) to when I finally cut off all contact for good (my early 40s) is that guys like that are emotionally damaged people.

My history with my ex was I broke up with him after 13 years (we had on and off periods our last three years). He followed me to my new city after 6 months. We got back together for three weeks, but I had been away from his BS for long enough that I immediately told him it wasn't working and to move out. We stayed connected for the next 6 years, occasionally hooking up if we were both horny, going to dinner now and then, movies, etc. I should never have done that. Finally, I started getting serious with a guy I was dating. The ex was pressuring me to hook up, saying I wasn't really serious about my new guy, was I? Playing the kind of games Big did with Carrie when he got married but with a bit of a reverse.

When it didn't work, he started seriously dating someone else. It didn't work out with the guy I was seeing. When my ex found out I had broken up with him, although he was still seeing the same guy, he started the we-should-hook-up lines again. I firmly said no. When he'd text me, I'd send back one word responses after making him wait a few days. Finally he got the hint and just stopped contacting me. I basically did what Carrie should have done with Big.

Now I'm in the best relationship of my life that is devoid of that emotional drama. My new partner is not emotionally distant and we tell each other how we feel about each other. I know he loves me and I never doubt it.

The Russia effect is working: hatred of white people/characters is rising every day.

Divided States of America/race war is happening.

Oh, Ilia @ r221, you’re so funny. Kiki.

R221 - No. We hated Carrie with the Russian even more than we hated her with Big. That whole Baryshnikov storyline was the worst.

[quote] hatred of white people/characters is rising every day.

Equating that self-absorbed, whiny, shallow twat Carrie Bradshaw with all white people is far more hateful of white people.

"I've taken a LOVAH"

A lovah????

"I fell! In DIOR!"

I'm all the sexual hang ups despite being called SEX and the City,

Charlotte and anal. Miranda and getting her butt licked. Charlotte and oral. Miranda and the guy who liked to be spanked (which she only knew because she rifled through her shit) Carrie and water sports Charlotte and less-than-manly straight guys even though he gave her a good fuck (the Dan Futterman episode). Carrie and Samantha's blowing a delivery guy Carrie and bisexuality Samantha (Samantha of all people) and too big guy. Miranda and sex at the wrong time (Steve in the morning) Samantha and funky spunk Just to name a few.

Sorry, that was supposed to be a multi-line list.

I am the initial pitch that exists only in my head: let’s take the episode of [italic]the Facts of Life[/italic] where Natalie gave up her virginity to Snake and make that the whole show.

"Aren't you going to buy something for your new LOVAH?"

"I suspect he already likes the way I smell."

Ew, Carrie!

Carrie convincing herself that she was some kind of model in the episode where she falls on the runway was funny when she realized that the Margaret Cho character had included Carrie as one of the 'regular folks' alongside the real models like Heidi Klum.

The models stepping over a prone Carrie on the runway and Sam calling her fashion roadkill was a nice moment.

God, you've just reminded me of how abysmal Margaret Cho's acting was in that episode too. What was it about this show that every guest actor, and every extra was so terrible?

Didn't Cho's character say something like "a baguette for the fag-get..."

Really cringe inducing.

No, that was the woman in the jewellers store, when Charlotte wanted to get her ring turned into something else, to reminder her less of her failed marriage. The woman tells her when her husband turned out to be a "faguette" she had her wedding ring turned into "baguettes".

I agree, it was incredibly cringe inducing.

Also, remember when Bitsy von Muffling gets pregnant by Nathan Lane's character and the girls wonder about it because she is older, "and married to a FAG!" says Samantha.

But the queens ate that shit up and gave the writers a pass because gay representation on tv and in movies was so lacking at the time.

The Margaret Cho character introduced a flaming queen as her "boyfriend, who is clearly a homosexual". Carrie giggled and, pointing to the repulsive Stanford, replied, "In that case this is [italic] my [/italic] boyfriend Stanford."

R232 “runway roadkill” would have been a better line.

Books are back.

What about the moment at the dog show where Carrie is sitting with Miranda, Samantha and Stanford, and right in front of Stanford says: "who wants to meet the Russian tomorrow night?" and then when Stanford says: "I'm in!" she says: "Sorry, it's just the girls this time". God she was a despicable "friend". (And it was a very realistic portrayal of a certain type of woman who only wants her "gays" around her when she needs them to fill a space while they have no partner, though not sure that was the intention.)

Speaking of mildly homophobic moments, I am reminded of the episode where Carrie and Miranda decide to try out bridal dresses at a store. This was when Miranda was pregnant with Brady and Carrie found out Aidan was going to propose to her.

I thought the saleswoman in the shop had a slightly judgmental, if not disgusted, look on her face when she asked Carrie and Miranda if they were shopping for their "lesbian wedding".

The moment I enjoyed was the horrible "Single and Fabulous?" magazine cover with Carrie looking like a fiftysomething crack addict.

“I met this new guy Berger, and I just get that zsa zsa zsu.”

They tried so hard to make "zsa zsa zsu" happen, haha!

"What's zsa zsa zsu gone wrong?"

"Zsa zsa ew."

Michael Patrick King was the bossy bottom who dictated everything on SATC so its his internalized homophobia we have to thank for the homophobic moments that haven’t aged that well.

There was a recent podcast series about the series where everyone but Kim participated, and SJP discussed how Carrie was basically Michael Patrick’s avatar and he wrote Carrie as himself. He would get frustrated if she didn’t play a scene the way “he” would’ve played it and she would get upset frequently. She said something to the effect of “I’m the actress… let me act this part.” Can you imagine his inner torment that he couldn’t just throw on the tutu himself?

I understand that you can be sex positive and still have preferences and limits, but the fact that Carrie was so turned off and judgmental about the John Slattery character’s watersports kink. It’s not like he wanted her to drink his piss, he just wanted her to pee on him. Im not into it, but when a guy that looks like that and is otherwise charming wants you to piss on him, you piss on him. End of story.

"Carrie convincing herself that she was some kind of model in the episode where she falls on the runway was funny when she realized that the Margaret Cho character had included Carrie as one of the 'regular folks' alongside the real models like Heidi Klum."

Carrie is actually pretty hesitant and really doesn't think she's worthy When Margaret Cho pitches the idea, Carrie thinks it's ridiculous and she has reservations for much of the episode. Samantha is the one who says "you're a model" to give her confidence.

I'm "go get our girl"

I can’t have cancer and be a fag hag. The word FAG was used a lot.

R228 I don't blame Samantha for disliking the horrid tasting spunk, she did try to feed him better food to help it cause she enjoyed blowing him.

And she tried with big cock, but he would have destroyed her pussy!

I'm Aiden's annoying folksy good-guy-ness.

Charlotte walking in on Bunny chanting with Trey while he’s naked in the tub. Ew.

When Carrie decided she needed to randomly scream. She had at least one ear piercing scream every episode.

That episode where Carrie decides that NYC is her boyfriend, and takes herself on a date to the Guggenheim but gets caught in the rain and just SHRIEKS and SHRIEKS and SHRIEKS

I am a credible state gubernatorial candidate

How did Miranda find out that Carrie and Big were having an affair when he was married to Natasha? I recall Carrie telling Samantha about the affair and Charlotte discovering the truth when she saw Big and Carrie sneak out of the hotel. Did Carrie tell Miranda too or did she find out from the other two?

Carrie being constantly shown strutting and breaking into little SKIPS as she crosses the street, because she’s a GIRL ABOUT TOWN and she’s GOING PLACES

Carrie Bradshaw was an absurdly detestable character on the page, but a better actress could have humanized her and brought a degree of vulnerability and charm to the role.

Unfortunately, Horsia is a baroquely untalented actress whose single-minded vision for the role was to carry out (!) a never ending string of little poses, as her character’s only motivation was to be seen and observed.

[quote] Horsia

Lmao. DL dissecting SATC is truly DL at its best ❤️

I’m GERI HALLIWELL and I am REFRESHED!!!

I’m Aidan’s bloated, gas-filled stomach, fighting for my life as I attempt to digest a whole bucket of synthetic chicken.

“Will you rub my belly?” says my owner to his equine girlfriend. But I do not desire to be rubbed, least of all by a hoof. I only desire to die. Or at least to distend a little.

Please all leave Steve ALLOOONNNE. HE WAS CUTE AS A BUTTON!!! DAT ASS!!!!

Carrie’s full-body spasms on stage are meant to be an attempt at belly dancing, but instead she flails like a dachshund trying to vomit a face mask.

[quote]I'm Aiden's annoying folksy good-guy-ness.

"Come on li'l lady, yer comin' to the country with me."

R256, she decides to tell Miranda over drinks, between telling Samantha and getting caught by Chartlotte (she tells Miranda to not tell Charlotte). It's when Carrie is smoking and Miranda thinks it's such big news she has to have a cigarette too.

It was kinda like Carrie went to Samantha first because she knew she didn't want to be judged but had to tell someone. Then when she really wanted someone to help her get out of the situation she told Miranda so Miranda would bring up the questions that she hoped would knock some sense into her.

Thanks, R264. When you described the smoking I remembered a tiny part of the scene. When Miranda asked for a cigarette too and said she needed it to process the news, did Carrie say something like, "You're a good friend. Don't inhale."?

Your explanation meant that I had the order in which the friends found out about the affair all wrong. I assumed that Miranda found out first because I vaguely remembered a scene that probably never happened. I recalled Samantha asking Carrie who else knew about the affair (when Sam first found out) and Carrie replying "Miranda. And God." I wonder if I had some other storyline from a different season mixed up with the Big affair episodes.

[quote]did Carrie say something like, "You're a good friend. Don't inhale."?

Yes, that's right!

I don't know about the "Miranda and God" line, (perhaps that was from when Miranda and Steve had Brady baptised and Miranda didn't believe in it so she made the priest change everything in the ritual - "No mention of the Devil anywhere.") but it didn't happen in this scene. She told Samantha after the four had had a get together at Samantha's new apartment in the Meat Packing District and Carrie stayed behind to watch Samantha clean up.

I'm the PUTRID first mockup of Carrie's debut book cover. This was just unnecessary. Carrie does a fine enough job on her own looking and behaving ridiculously.

I'm PUTRID Warren, the baby talker Samantha picked up when she sported the fake nipples.

"Samantha, does your gina-wina wanna wittle visit from my mistuh-mistuh?"

PUTRID.

This thread is having the opposite effect on me. It makes me want to watch the show again.

The first two or three seasons are still a fun watch. Then you can skip everything except Lexi Featherson's "New York is over" speech - the episode which gave us the putrid "but I have final Calcutta."

I'm Miranda's cuntiness about moving to Brooklyn.

“Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes! I thought these were an urban show myth!”

In spite of all the SCATHING attacks of SATC I still liked/like the show.

I'm starting to vaguely remember that back in the 2000s I actually used to know some of these plots, thanks to reruns during dinnertime.

R240: that scene with Carrie being such a cunt to Stanford always annoyed me. Obviously you can’t always invite every friend to everything but don’t bring up the invitation in front of the friend you’re not inviting. Especially when it was in such an ‘oh no you’re just my little gay friend and this is just for the girls’ way. Fuck off. You’re spot on that it is an accurate portrayal of a lot of straight women and how they see their gay friends.

Same, 273. And I've posted plenty on this thread.

I meant to type R273

Didn't Stanford end up going with Marcus to Alexsander's dinner party? But, right, he didn't go when they girls first met him.

All the gay scenes.

[quyote]God, you've just reminded me of how abysmal Margaret Cho's acting was in that episode too. What was it about this show that every guest actor, and every extra was so terrible?

You're right about the guest stars. Alanis Morissette was awful too. Kristen Johnson was the only memorable one.

In the summer of 2000 I met this guy at the Works on the UWS. Ten days later on a Sunday evening we had sex at his apartment BUT not before he watched the latest episode of Sex And The City. Watching SATC first was more important to this queen than having sex with me. I should have mentioned this under the RUDE GAYS thread.

I'm the low price Carrie commands as a prostitute. You don't do it for the money with some minor French architect but for jewels, furs, mixed securities - like Amalita Amalfi.

"The next day at the Hotel Vasectomy, I had some questions for the man next to me! ☺"

Barf.

"Why are we should-ing all over ourselves" form the same episode.

Worst of all:

“As I sifted through the rubble of my marriage skirmish, I had a thought: maybe the fight between marrieds and singles is like the war in Northern Ireland. We’re all basically the same, but somehow we ended up on different sides.”

WTF??

THE most vomit inducing word that SATC introduced ( journalists use this word in their essays nowadays)

FRENEMIES

Gay men portrayed as court jesters who work in fashion, wear ascots and swish around town. CANCEL !!!

I'm a New York museum who, like a man, can sometimes be closed when you wish I were open.

You’re dating a Russki?

I'm Carrie's meltdown about losing all of her computer files because she didn't back anything up, total lack of understanding of anything computer-related, and ornery attitude toward Aiden who tried to help and bought her a new computer.

She was a massive cunt in that episode. It's the first time I really fucking hated her.

I'm Carrie who can't work an iPhone because she's trapped in 1999, but expects perfection from everyone else. I'm Carrie's upstairs neighbors (I assume she didn't own the entire building) who are seeking legal action based on health concerns to remove that notorious chain smoker downstairs.

We are Carrie's lungs, consumed by COPD.

I’m Ray, the annoying jazz musician with ADHD. The less said about me, the better.

I'm Big's annoying flip-flopping indicative of many men and women -- when I'm with someone, I feel trapped, constrained, and want out. Then when I'm not with them, I pine for them, want them back - at least in some capacity. Not that Carrie wasn't a little like this too.

I'm Steve, who needs to get away from these crazy bitches and go visit my buddy across town, the one who likes to keep his mouth filled up with my dick while I have a beer and listen to some music with the lights down low.

Speaking of Steve and putridness, he's putrid. Whiney, baby-voiced, lame, even if he has a nice ass, which I don't remember seeing, but others have spoke of.

Stanford and Antony get married? What’s beyond putrid?

Did you throw a glass of (RED) wine in his face R281?

R21 If they have a sense of humor, they should be fine. I'm Guatemalan and adopted. I actually burst out laughing at that when I first watched the series four years ago. In fact, Guatemala shut down international adoptions over ten years ago because of abuses in Guatemala's adoption system. I was in the orphanage because both of my parents were dead, but there were shady practices that I didn't realize until I was grown. For example, the orphanage would sometimes pick up kids off the street. Other times, they even adopted off some kids without their family's knowledge. At any rate, it's a joke. The show is a comedy. Peace.

[quote]Stanford and Antony get married? What’s beyond putrid?

That they couldn't just be in a committed marriage.

Stanford has to state (at their wedding no less) that Anthony is allowed to still have sex with other men.

Cause, ya know, gay men can't commit to a monogamous relationship. And, of course, Stanford's self esteem is so low he accepts it.

Yet another example of this show's blatant homophobia.

In a way I think it kinda made sense that the two main gay characters on this show were vapid, shrill, loathsome queens. Samantha was fun but I can't imagine any sane, well-adjusted gay man wanting to even spend time with, let alone be friends with, the other three. Miranda was OK but constantly angry and judgmental, Charlotte was a pampered fraulette/frau and Carrie was a self-absorbed cunt. It's only the Stanfords and Anthonys of the world who would be friends with the likes of Carrie.

Stanford’s every mannerism and line delivery

I don’t care about the voice, Steve had a hot body. I can imagine him humping a male friend’s face after a few beers.

[quote]Alanis Morissette was awful too.

"Yescomeplayit'sfun."

SUCH a good line reading!

I'm the Donald Trump cameo and the ridiculous accompanying Carrie voiceover: "It doesn't get more New York than Samantha, a Cosmopolitan and Donald Trump". LOL!

I'm Samantha clapping and squealing like a demented seal after being presented with jewelry by that old fart.

"My gay friend is marrying your gay friend!"

"Miss Bronstein is from Sussex, as am I..."

[quote]like a dachshund trying to vomit a face mask

That's oddly specific, r263.

I'm Carrie proclaiming over and over what a good friend I am when I'm nothing of the sort.

I'm John Benjamin Hickey's moaning cum face.

I'm Charlotte's annoyingly naïve, unrealistic and immature approach to the pre-nup before the marriage to Trey, especially when Miranda mentions the word 'divorce' and reminds Charlotte that pre-nups were fairly common because of the number of marriages that fail.

I know this is all about the hate. But this short scene might be the best thing on tv: the music, her strut, "Dirty martini? Dirty bastard".

KC was everything

I'm the list of Miranda's ex-lovers (I think her number was 52?) who she had to call after she got the chlamydia.

R275 - I thought it was totally fine and acceptable for Carrie to not include Stanford. There’s been several times I’ve had to tell girlfriends that this is a “boys only” night, and they graciously understand. Real friends can communicate these things.

I know we’re supposed to be discussing the awful parts of SATC, but the above talk of Miranda made me remember a touching scene that stuck with me. Steve’s mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and she went missing. Miranda found her on the street eating pizza out of the garbage. She took her home and bathed her in the most beautiful, intimate, caretaking scene.

Favorite scene ever!!!!

Perfect example of how all of the other 3 grew up evolved moved on with exception of Carrie.

No Carrie, you would have been a shitty mother

Carrie arrives at the Paris hotel dressed in her usual demented little girl garb.

She sashays and flounces around the suite, touching the curtains and muttering to herself in Duolingo French: “Les rideaux de fenetre!”

She pops a grape into her mouth and ruminates it bovinely.

She opens the window and steps out on the balcony onto the obligatory view of the Eiffel Tower, where she proceeds to do the Carrie Bradshaw Trademark Squeal, clapping and jumping up and down like a toddler about to piss herself.

Catch up R320. We talked about that FUCKING grape upthread.

“I can’t help but wonder” why didn’t they get better writers. Is trite the new hackney (ed)?

R320, I know this is a bit OT, but I thought the whole Carrie arriving in Paris and going a bit overboard was meant to be a juxtaposition to the scenes later where she’s walking the streets and has a bad experience.

I'm New York City guy's contempt for anything outside the city, which he hasn't left in ten years.

That New York snob archetype seems outdated.

[quote] That New York snob archetype seems outdated.

Only because Guiliani and Bloomberg gutted the city.

I'm the gang's constant protesting, eye rolling, guffawing, objecting to the L.A. experience and people, and reminding people that we're from NYC and things are different in NYC -- only to sort of take to it eventually, but not enough to stop getting digs in.

I'm Maria's lesbian freakout when Samantha tires of the relationship.

R316, I always find that scene really moving too (just ruined by being contrasted with Carrie running to meet her new French friends who she had stood up). And when Magda sees her and then later approaches Miranda and gives her a kiss, which you can see Miranda appreciate but not want to make a big deal of too, because that's her personality.

Also, the scene in the changing rooms after her mother died is really moving too. Cynthia got a lot of good scenes, but she was also very much the best actress of the four too, so it was a joy to watch her in this moments.

I LOVE how many people roll their eyes at Carrie eating that bloody grape in France, haha. SJP has such annoying mannerisms.

R310 - exactly. "Especially when I have ALWAYS been there for you!" When was that Carrie? When you abandoned Miranda alone in a bar so you could eat veal with Big? When you complained and complained about Samantha being at your book launch with a chemical peel? When you told Charlotte "Paper covers rock"? She's delusional.

I'm "Try Ed I have no Harris."

I'm that scene in season 5 where Carrie is typing her column in front of a mirror during her voiceover, picks up a cocktail, turns sideways, drinks, and then poses like she's 'laughing at salad' in some advertisement. It's so grating, speaking of SJPs mannerisms.

[quote] That New York snob archetype seems outdated.

That was a S1 episode which would have been, what, 22-23 years ago? Presumably those NY snobs were still around in the late 90s.

At least the show we did together never got run into the ground.

They’ve always been a bunch of fucking provincial hicks in their hooliganism for Manhattan. Not even Brooklyn was good enough for their hooves to stomp on.

"Not even Brooklyn was good enough for their hooves to stomp on."

Am I drunk? That's fucking funny.

I’m Carrie not being bothered to call the restaurant in Paris where her new French friends are waiting for her.

[quote] Only because Guiliani and Bloomberg gutted the city.

And DeBlasio raped the corpse.

The episode where the French friends throw a party for her and she stands them up for the selfish, controlling Russian is exactly why Carrie was a shit friend.

Nothing compares to what TBS reruns did to it: "honey, you're not a [lesbian] if you don't eat [cats]."

Tell that to ALF.

I remember when SATC first hit E! my friend was visiting me from Georgia for two weeks and was watching it while I was at work during the day. I watched one episode with her and was appalled at how horribly they cut it up. I told her to stop watching it immediately and grabbed all my season DVD sets for her.

Samantha's brilliant cackle when Miranda gifts the dancing frogs to the couple that met in her apartment is one od the show's highlights for sure. There are many.

“Unfortunately, Ed’s ass was the ass of an older man.”

Ageist builshit. They even had to hire a much older ass double for Ed because the actor's ass was too good -- defeating the whole bullshit premise. And Samantha's running away in terror was awful. Major gay metaphor stuff, as usual with her, since a man's ass would not be hard for a woman to avoid seeing.

R315: Agree on gays/guys only nights and not bringing female friends to gay places generally. Carrie wasn’t planning some single girls night out though, it was just drinks with her new boyfriend at a bar. And she could have invited ‘the girls’ when she wasn’t sat right next to Stanford.

How much does an ass double get paid?

Leading up to That FUCKING Grape™️ scene, I hate the following:

•the little piano trill when the boot is opened to reveal her girly, pink luggage

•her breathless giggling as she exits the car and proceeds to greet and thank everyone in her vicinity

•when the hotel clerk says "American!" and she replies "New Yorker." Such a pretentious fucking twat. In that moment, she is more of a hick than the scrunchie wearing tourist she looks down on during her Berger days. Insufferable cunt.

"In that moment, she is more of a hick than the scrunchie wearing tourist she looks down on during her Berger days. Insufferable cunt."

Very funny

I'm Susan Sharon's obnoxiously verbally abusive and not attractive husband who, nevertheless, probably throws a mean fuck.

I'm the McDougal family's soft incest.

I'm the female servant Sum who calls Samantha "nasty girl." "This Sum was not dim!"

I still can’t believe Miranda picked whiny Steve over gorgeous Robert. I also can’t believe that Robert would be attracted to Miranda.

I’m Carrie leaving a voicemail for Tatum O’Neal that I’m getting married - to myself - and that I’m registered at Manolo Blahnik (in case she wants to replace my shoes that went missing at Tatum’s apartment).

Miranda knew Robert when eventually get with someone more attractive (he got with two, five minutes after Miranda dumped him), so she picked Steve who fucked guys on the side. She didn't care as long as she was the one woman in his life.

I'm Tatum O'Neal's weird sense of duty about paying full price for the shoes because Carrie had registered, but not before then when she only offered $200.

I'm Laney Berlin who told annoying Charlotte at the baby shower. "I'm sure you get asked this all the time but - what is your problem??" and "At least you know what happened to your dream. I have NO IDEA what happened to mine!"

Tell us MORE, R339!

Shayla!

I’m Charlotte’s cardboard baby!

I'm "And I owe it all to Dr. Mao. Or as we call him, Dr. Wow."

I just watched the the first season and realized all these women were losers. Carrie being the biggest loser of all.

I still believe the Northridge Quake of 1994 unleashed the world's biggest Idiot Ball over almost all of the state of California and it has yet to let up. That's why Hollywood's output keeps getting worse and worse.

The most PUTRID moments were rejected and repurposed for that 2 Broke Girls shitshow that Michael Patrick King unleashed after SATC.

I'm the pretence that these women didn't know how to drive because they were Manhattanites. None of them was a native New Yorker. They were all raised in suburban towns. Miranda was from Pennsylvania and Charlotte was likely from Connecticut. It's possible that Carrie and Sam might have grown up in Flyoverstan.

Except for maybe Charlotte (and even that is unlikely as everyone I grew up with in New Canaan knew how to drive) there's no way the other three women would not have known how to drive a car.

(Yeah I know that one of them was shown eventually driving in the Laney Berlin episode and that Carrie drove the stick shift in LA, but the tone was definitely one of "We are Manhattanites who take cabs everywhere. We never drive and don't even know how to.")

Well, R362, if you know that they actually all know how to drive and you have evidence of seeing some of them drive, what was the point of your pointless rant?

This is such a putrid crime against humanity that it bears inclusion even though it’s Glee but it’s SJP at her most horrifying. How is she not hiding under bed at all times knowing this will live on in YouTube perpetuity?

electronically burning sage to clear out whatever that was at r364

Carrie trying to be cute as a bug while cleaning out her closet. She puts on a little fashion show for the rest of the ladies and it's just embarrassing to watch. When she claws and crawls as she's wearing a spotted leopard outfit. Jesus. Just shoot me.

Carrie trying to sound 'cute' when she quarrels with Aidan during his renovation work in her apartment. Especially when she brings up some hypothetical situation where a rapist breaks into her apartment wanting to rape her and she needs to escape.

R364: JESUS F-ING CHRIST what did I just watch??? I couldn’t stop though, I watched the whole thing. I wonder if this airing is what triggered the Chinese to start making their little gift to the world in that lab in Wuhan.

The most putrid moment will be the premiere of the reboot.

Jesus 😳 R364. That was...something else.

You just KNOW that SJP thought she'd trend with the young'uns after that performance. She tries so fucking hard. It's all rather desperate.

R345- I could NOT stand the Alexander Protrovsky character. He was a major TWAT. I'd take Carrie ANY day over him.

The Russian was exactly the kind of man that shallow, obnoxious Carrie deserved.

Charlotte wanting to name her daughter Shayla - Shayla! - was incredibly, jarringly dumb. Shayla.

Carrie being late for Charlotte’s first wedding because that’s when she decided to tell Aiden she had been cheating with Big. Oh, and don’t the Maid of ‘Honor’ and bridesmaids spend the morning of the wedding helping the bride get ready?

I’m the alternate universe that we must have all been in, where Stanford and Mario Cantone’s character actually got together.

R364 You can tell Horsia really thought she did something 🤣

He raped my face!

I've posted a lot on this thread, but I by no means hate SATC (the TV series). It's just a show that's easy and fun to nitpick. Being annoyed by things in the SATC universe was part of the fun. I would also have a lot of posts if there were a "Let's be the best moments of SATC."

I'm Carrie's friend Mike's shame about sleeping with the cheese shop lady who I had great sex with because she's "not beautiful" and thus the need to keep her hidden.

She’s a hooker with a passport!

The night I got arRESted for SMOKING a DOOBIE!

I’m his booth bitch.

Anthony recognizing Marcus from a grainy photo in the back of an old issue of Honcho. That was a stretch.

You’re Audrey Hepburn.....owitz

The writers dropped the ball with Shayla. No way a preppy, prissy little wasp like Charlotte would give a stripper name to her daughter. She's of the Elizabeth and Catherine variety.

Shayla was a perfect name for someone like Lainey to name her kid. Not Charlotte. Someone should have called her out on it.

Charlotte was quite bovine looking those first two seasons.

Carrie was a woman in her thirties, forties and fifties who dressed like a preschool girl at a birthday party.

What the FUCK is Cynthia Nixon doing in this picture

Now I know why Bret Easton Ellis said watching "Glee" was like "stepping in a big puddle of HIV".

r390 That sounds like a Carrie Bradshaw pun.

I'm Natasha's general coldness and uptightness.

Well, it's not as if the writers gave us any chance to get to know Natasha.

I'm large scale light installations.

I'm Charlotte's wedding date calling Charlotte "slutty" after my dad felt her up on the dance floor. My ancient ideas about proper women's clothing is evidenced by my calling her "slutty" partly because she was wearing a backless dress (which was overall quite tasteful).

R345, The dress in the final segment of the clip, O M G is to die for, as in, 'Get the blowtorch and kill it' die for.

If I saw someone, ANY one wearing that dress, I just might shoot them to put them out of the misery of having to walk or sit in that shabby chic fluff ball of vomit.

My next thought was, holy SHIT that gown is HUGE, and all of her suitcases were kind of small. It would have come out of the suitcase in a massive wrinkled vomit ball.

Where does one go wearing that piece of vomit-shit? No one in Paris would wear that POS anywhere.

From the moment she set foot in Paris, every damn thing that the wardrobe dept put her in looked over-the-top crazy wrong.

The Russian. A vile, classic narcissist. Weak character and she would never have followed him to Paris to live. Never.

The sex doctors husband blowing his load and hitting Miranda in the face.

Not to belabor the Shayla thing, but what in the world would this kid’s middle name have been? Shayla Jo? Shayla Jean? Shayla Rose? Shayla Sue? Shayla Rae?

Watching the show now thanks to you guys, why does Sarah always put her hands up to her chest and face?? She has quite large and gnarled hands.

Bovine Charlotte's fucking COW eyes.

Not hands, hooves.

Where do you shop? The big and tall whore store?

Funny you should bring that picture up, R389. It always makes me scratch my head too. Is she starting a conga line? But if she is, it's rather out of step with her reserved character.

To Charlotte: "I bet you have a beautiful cunt, dear."

Two words: Mr Pussy

La femme avec les yeux lumineux.

I'm the moment Carrie finds the romance too much and needs to take it down a notch by going to McDonalds. And dancing under the McDonalds arch. Blech.

I found Samantha to be this sad caricature who was supposed to be liberated but seemed desperate in that being sexually desirable was the only thing to live for.

When she told some lady at some raw food restaurant that SHE would be taking Smith home and would sit there all night eating if she had to and offered to pay the woman's bill so she'd have a better shot was pathetic and ridiculous.

I expected Samantha to develop objectophilia and fall in love with a fire hydrant because it was the only thing big and hard enough to satisfy her

^Hi SJP! ^

I'm Valerie Harper and David McCallum, inviting Carrie to give a lecture (!) at NYU (or was it Columbia?)

Elbuvagul thel em buhoyvibo men.

I'm Bridezilla Charlotte in the run-up to her first wedding.

Columbia R410. More characters who find Carrie “fabulous”!

I'm the words Carrie obnoxiously overenunciates in her narration.

"They *say* that...."

"....of their *own*".

"Well, that's just *fabulous*".

I wonder. Did Carrie have [italic] any [/italic] redeeming qualities at all?

R415 she had quite nice tits but of course never got them out

Honey, did Carrie see your dick in the hallway?

Big peppermill dick!

The annoyingly twee (and trying too hard to be 'cute') decorator who married Miranda's friend and was gifted the dancing frogs.

That really ugly guy Miranda dates who farted and shat with the bathroom door open. Foul pig

^That actresses name is Carrie Preston. When Carrie Bradshaw married Big her married name was......CARRIE PRESTON!

Yu are... comik?

I'm the performance artist who sits alone, and who Carrie mocks saying she bets I eat a Big Mac when no one's looking.

I think Carrie dresses like what we used to call, "a retard".

I'm the angry learning annex fee refunds on the course taught by Carrie.

I'm "Bright Lights, Date City."

I’m that fucking tablecloth she wore when she met the old ballet dancer.

I'm Carrie's fishy knickers in her purse as she returns from Big's. He doesn't want to give her a drawer

I'm the sex fart Carrie obsessed over for an entire episode.

Im the showrunners’ embarrassing obsession with swing music.

I’m Miranda’s ranga crotchfruit. One of the most hideous babies/toddlers ever seen onscreen.

Carrie's mini skirt paired with high heels and thigh highs with patches on the knee. Ridiculous enough on a teen but on a 40 plus yo absolutely horrendous.

I thought she looked really good when she cut her hair. I believe SJP was pregnant and looked glowing

I'm Woo-ing as they speed past a group of Bedouins.

I’m that FUCKING retard toddler they hired to play Lily.

Everyone hates me with the heat of ten billion galaxies.

I disagree with cutting her hair. I thought she looked awful with short hair. And it made her act even more twee. Carrie was always annoying, but she was better as a long-haired chain smoker.

R414, you're so right. It just occurred to me that that delivery may well have inspired one of the many things I loathed about DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES -- namely, Mary Alice's cat-licking-cream-off-her-whiskers delivery of every pronouncement, no matter how banal.

It never made any sense that Mary Alice shot herself just because she got a vaguely threatening letter

I'm Berger's lame insecurity about everything.

Carrie as the perverted Nancy Drew was appalling. How dare she!

I’m the saxophone Carrie’s ADD musician boyfriend was obsessed with instead of being codependent on her.

I'm the cake Miranda ate out of her trash can.

I loved when the Russian’s friends showed Carrie up for the uncultivated cow that she was.

I'm children's book about Little Kathy and her magic cigarettes.

I thought poor Daniel McDonald was very handsome and kinda sexy in his role of the guy who broke up with Miranda after his young son got upset.

R444 is that the kid Miranda knocked out when he walked in on her taking a morning shite?

Yes, that's the one, R445. The kid who pressed all the elevator buttons.

“Go get our girl”

“IL FAIT CHAUD!!!”

I wonder what Scary Carrie did for income when she got home from Paris. She didn't have that shitty column to spew out.

She was with Big when she got home - really with him. So I assumed he supported her and maybe she found something to do.

Their girl was got!

Why did she never show her tits?

R450 because the entire show is a vehicle for Sarah Jessica Parker as a Style Icon. That’s why Carrie never shows her breasts or expresses a POV, and why she constantly moves like she’s posing for photographs.

I don’t know if it was putrid per se, but I found the all-lesbian spinoff, “Tribbing in TriBeCa”, to be totally offensive.

I'm the neck massager that Samantha tried to return to Sharper Image, yelling at the clerk: "It failed to get me off!"

I love how in the first movie Miranda managed to get whoever bought Carrie’s apartment not only to sell it back to her but to vacate before she returned to nyc a few days later. Uh...no.

R453, that scene always confused me, because the actor playing the sales assistant plays it drily, with amusement, but Samantha's words and actions make it sound like he was being uptight and a prude about it.

I'm Harry's insistence that he must marry a Jew.

Charlotte Dahling you went out with a meeskite and a fagalla but not my David?

Carrie and her insatiable need for ANY male attention. The entire series was mostly putrid.

On SATC, no straight woman could survive without a man. The perception was, these women 'had it all', career-wise, socially etc, yet were useless without a man. Even independent, successful, sexually-free Samantha fell for that 'hot' blond model, she fell in love with him.

The series ongoing theme of desperation fed into so much negativity about a certain segment of single women in NYC. Or rather, about the flyovers who moved to NYC. I know many single native New Yorkers, lots of women, who sure don't act like the desperate characters on SATC.

Sad how so many people get their ideas about others from TV shows and films.

Ugh, I hated that R456. It was so contrived. I would've preferred it if, as Charlotte falls more and more in love with Harry, she decided she wanted to convert, rather than have what actually happened happen.

"You can eat pork but you can't marry an Episcopalian?"

"I'm conservative, not orthodox".

Oh. How convenient.

I’m Steve’s sweet girlfriend Debbie who he dumps as soon as the woman who treats him like shit says she loves him.

I'm Samantha's former assistant Nina. I am annoying as fuck and my grating voice sounds like I gargle with shards of glass.

^ Speaking of Ninas, I'm the face Nina Katz made at Carrie in the lady's room.

I still get nightmares about the grizzled old bitch Carrie. When I first met her she was wearing a strapless top with a cowboy hat. The next time was in a changing room of a store where she was in her underwear. She was right. It was definitely like watching Ethel Merman performing in "Granny Get Your Clothes On".

I hope to poison this cunt with my chipped tooth some day.

R460 - Debbie seemed really sweet and much more suited to being with Steve and a part of his family. Honestly, it may have been a more interesting finish to the series if Steve and Debbie stayed together and Miranda and Robert stayed together and their story was how they navigate that best for Brady. Miranda having to loosen up a bit to allow another woman to be in her child's life, etc.

As someone mentioned above, the end of the series felt a bit like everyone had to end up with a man. I quite like the idea I've seen floated around here too that it should've ended with Carrie alone, but beginning to learn how to actually be alone and like it.

[quote] I quite like the idea I've seen floated around here too that it should've ended with Carrie alone, but beginning to learn how to actually be alone and like it.

Wasn't that one of the alternative endings they filmed? Well, not the part about Carrie learning to be alone and liking it, but returning to NY alone after Big chickened out?

I would have liked to see more realistic endings for the characters but the show had already become a frau fairy tale and materialistic fantasy by then, so it was obvious that they would write 'happy endings' for everyone.

I never saw Miranda and Steve as a couple who would be together for a long time. Sooner or later the things about Steve that used to bother Miranda would have reared their ugly head again, particularly when they had different opinions about how to raise Brady. Miranda was a decent, honest woman but impossible to live with.

[QUOTE]Wasn't that one of the alternative endings they filmed? Well, not the part about Carrie learning to be alone and liking it, but returning to NY alone after Big chickened out?

Yep, they did 3 - one where she came back with Big, one where she stayed with the Russian and one where she ended up alone (and asked the other girls to marry her, I think). None of those filmed scenes seemed very well thought out though, it was almost like the team on the show were just trying to create a bit of suspense.

Yeah, I liked Miranda and Steve as friends better, I think pretty much season 4 and 5 they were like that, with the occasional fuck just when someone was horny and fancied it. I think that was more realistic.

I’m Steve Brady aka SKIDMARKS GUY

I’m Sid the lesbian Miranda’s co worker set her up with.

I thought it was a bit tasteless Miranda telling her friends about Steve's poor anal hygiene. Disrespectful and rude to allow them to laugh at him

I'm Steve's ghastly and filthy apartment and the even ghastlier suit he owned.

I agree, R469. And let me tell you, it's a fact that Carrie would have had the nastiest stains in her gusset. The "girls" (it sickened me that 4 very obviously mature aged women still referred to themselves in this manner) all would have.

Don't even get me started on the way Blandford Snatch's saggy, grey-tinged Y-fronts must have looked after a day mincing about Manhattan.

I am the stench emanating from Carrie at her "Single and Fabulous?" photo shoot. The filthy bitch was out drinking and dancing all night in some sweaty clubs and bars. She then went home after sunrise, overslept and then dragged her ass to the photoshoot. She was late already, so I guess she didn't even brush her teeth or freshen up first. And she showed up with a giant coffee cup in her hand.

The body odor of an unwashed, sweaty body reeking of alcohol combined with the killer bad breath resulting from the cigarettes and coffee makes it no surprise at all that the photo shoot turned out to be a disaster. I am shocked she wasn't immediately cordoned off and marked as condemned by the city authorities.

I’m unknown Bradley Cooper who wants to fuck Single and Fabulous Carrie.

OP, thank you for starting this thread. It’s bringing back such memories!

We're the horny frauen who hate Samantha for getting the sex stud masseur fired from the spa. Who will fuck us now?

I’m the pearl thong Richard gave Samantha. Those poor pearls.

Had to post this here.

OMG, look at SJP's hands, is she morphing into Madonna? SJP is 56. If SJP wasn't near anorexic, she wouldn't have the hands of a 90 year old. Not one 50+ year old woman I know has such disgusting old looking hands.

Here's SJP on the set of the SATC reboot "And Just Like That...". This photo is on the front page of the Sunday NY Times Real Estate section, it's included in an article about NYC getting back to film and TV show productions.

I'm Charlotte's horrified frauen college friends when she drunkenly blurts out at lunch: "My husband can't get it up. And I just really want to be FUCKED!"

In the photo at R477, SJP looks like she's about to shove Hansel and Gretel into an oven.

I'm k. d. lang in drag as Trey, being cringe-inducingly cloying with my wife Charlotte when we have guests over for dinner. "More mu shu, my mu shu."

Barf!

I'm Shippy Shipman. I am the Queen Frau of Manhattan. I haven't experienced sexual pleasure in over four decades and despise and resent anyone who does.

Samantha made her bed. She can now fuck in it.

I’m the creepy guy Charlotte picked up at his wife’s grave.

I'm JFK Jr's "cameo" that became Leonardo DiCaprio's "cameo" after I killed my wife and sister-in-law in the ocean.

I’m Laurel, explaining the concept of non-whorishness to my whore idol, THE Carrie Bradshaw.

I'm Stanford's homophobic bitch grandma who thinks it's funny and adorable to refer to her adult grandson as "a fruit". Lipstick on a pig, Chanel on a cunt.

I'm the spelling mistake in Natasha's thank you note which Smelly Sadshaw gloats over as evidence of Natasha being "an idiot".

I'm Skipper not showering after having sex with Miranda because I like smelling like Miranda's pussy all day as I got about my business.

Shower of Shame

R486 - I’m sure you meant to sign your post as “Thier.”

No R489. Natasha wrote "Sorry I couldn't be their"

I'm Samantha's horribly obnoxious millennial assistant, Nina. "You stood in line at studio 54; I stood in line at studio 54 - the movie." Good one.

One of the writers must have hated a Nina, because "face girl" who dated Aiden and bothers Carrie so much is also named Nina.

How did Carrie get invited to the "Women in the Arts" luncheon? She wrote a sleazy sex column for a cheap paper. Wouldn't the WITA luncheon committee have considered her too lowbrow, cheap and trashy?

I'm the cream cheese Carrie forgot to get with the bagels she brought over to an injured Miranda as an excuse to talk about herself and HER problems.

R492 I think you had a pay for a place as it was a fundraiser. Carrie only went so she could "look fabulous" in front of Natasha as the previous times they'd met Carrie "hadn't been peak fabulous". What an immature twat.

From the limited talk about it in the episode, it seems like Women in the Arts was a pay-to-play organization. It wasn't something anyone had to be approved for. People signed up, paid dues, and then could go to events. Carrie says 'I've never been to an event." She probably just signed up because it sounded good. That the active members were generally higher brow didn't seem to prevent anyone from being a member.

R493, you didn't use the correct term. They were "bullshit bagels" as Miranda correctly called them.

r496 I'm the cream cheese, dear. I don't know what they're called because I never make it to Miranda's.

I'm last year's unfortunate incident with Joyce Carol Oates.

I'm the fanny pad Carrie gives to the snooty restaurant hostess which means she suddenly finds Carrie and Sam a table!

I am the resounding response "Hell, yes!" heard around the world when Carrie wonders, "Are we sluts?"

I’m the diaphragm Samantha asks Carrie to pull out of her pussy……it’s way up there.

I'm Charlotte, the clit tease, who is pretending that she doesn't know she is leading the group of friendly lesbians on.

I’m Captain Crunch who got tired of Miranda because he couldn’t stand hearing a confident woman speak.

R503 she was cocky, arrogant and full of herself. Plus, she had hideous tits and an orange bush

I'm the former fat guy who ate pussy too enthusiastically and turned Miranda off so she broke up with him. Proof all the writers were gay men

"Sweet lady New York you're the fifth whore at THIS table!"

I think the chubby guy broke up with Miranda because she made him feel bad about overeating her pussy

He said he needed to concentrate on his diet.

That's right up there with "I only date in Europe."

I never understood the Single & Fabulous situation. Wouldn't Carrie has wondered why they weren't doing makeup and hair? I know the photographer says she wants to do some test shots, but she's clearly shooting film. Are they going to all sit around while someone processes the film and then soaks a few prints in stop bath?

Maybe they took some instants first then a small army transformed our Carrie into the gorgeous filly who gave every straight man in Manhattan a hardon?

The photographer wasn't using a Polaroid to take the test shots.

Carrie's old boyfriend whom Miranda ended up dating for a bit may have been an asshole but he was right about one thing. The script never acknowledged that Carrie was a self-centered bitch who did walk all over people just like he said she did.

If a guy dumped Carrie (or even if Carrie dumped a guy) I would be even more interested in him, because either A- He was the kind of person who wasn't gonna put up with her bullshit or B- He was the kind of guy who was actually a good, decent boyfriend, which was like kryptonite to Carrie.

I'm the $25,000 check Carrie inexplicably receives in royalties for her shitty book. Not one cent of me is offered to pay back Charlotte's loan

Was that a royalty check or an advance?

Royalty check. Her shitty book was released the previous season

Thanks. I remember her getting a check and thinking- let's see you pay Charlotte back, please.

R517 I know, right? All it would have taken was one line about paying some of this to Charlotte. Instead she goes on a shopping spree with Berger

Carrie's awful relationship with money/shopping was perhaps that show's best connection to "Girls."

Lena Dunham (and her character) is also a selfish, materialistic twat who gets irrationally angry when loved ones don't bail her out every time she overspends on shoes.

"Was that a royalty check or an advance?"

The check around the time of Berger was definitely an advance. She even says to him, "It's an advance from France." Ugh. Was there another check later?

Oh, that's right. Because she sold her book internationally. I thought I remembered that.

The shopping spree with Berger was horrifically cringey. Buying a designer shirt that just wasn't him and he'd probably never wear. Trying to mold him.

I'm a dust ruffle. You CANNOT NOT have me! It's unsightly!

I'm the breast cancer cookie. Or as Samantha calls me, "the fucking cookie".

She's not worthy of the crumbs from my cookie cunt.

That cookie looked like it might have been quite nice, I always thought, but I'm partial to that hard icing.

I'm the show taking Samantha's breast cancer diagnosis storyline and turning it into an excuse merely for her to wear a different wig in each scene.

She got one good scene, the one where she talks to Carrie about her fears and asks Carrie to stop trying to cheer her up, and that was it for the most part. I think you could still show her strength and not letting it get her down without turning it into a fashion show.

Even when something happened that wasn't about her Carrie managed to make it all about her.

- Where have you been, and where's Miranda? I'm starving. - What's wrong?

Miranda's in Philadelphia. Her mother had a heart attack yesterday and she died, early this morning.

She wasn't even sick. I can't believe it. Poor Miranda, how is she?

I don't know. She's not good. [bold]I[/bold] just felt so awful for her and [bold]I[/bold] just... [bold]I[/bold] didn't know...what to say to her and...You know Miranda, she was trying to be so strong, but she sounded so alone. [bold]And I just kept saying all the wrong things, I think. [/bold]

Miranda is dating an overeater and he over-ate her. Oh Carrie. Such wit.

R527, same with Samantha's cancer diagnosis, that was ALL about her and how she felt about it.

I’m Miranda’s cat ‘Fatty.’

I'm a tutu. I do not belong on a grown woman who is not a ballet dancer.

I liked Carrie in the first two seasons. Granted, it was all new and fresh back when SATC first started.

I'm Patrick, the poor guy who Carrie lures out on a date just before reaching the one-year mark in AA recovery. She slept with me, which triggered a new addiction to sex. Then she refused to sleep with me again, which pushed me off the wagon and took my hard-won sobriety with it. I had a breakdown outside Carrie's building in the middle of the night because of the mess that self-centered, manipulative bitch made of me.

Being the utter narcissist that she is, Carrie naturally made my breakdown all about her. "I couldn't help but wonder, am I really THAT good in bed??"

No, Carrie. You're not and you never will be. I'm a drunk, now also a sex addict, but back in recovery which has helped me learn how to avoid selfish cunts like you going forward.

Carrie wasn't such a clothes horse in the first season.

I'm taking Carrie's side regarding Patrick. He was an addict idiot. Yeah, she MADE him a sex addict. Whatever.

The guy who overate Miranda was a disgusting pig. I think the only guy more vomitous looking was Jim Gaffigan, the guy who shit with the door open.

Miranda dated some real fuggos. I'd rather go it alone than fuck Jim Gaffigan.

[quote] I'm taking Carrie's side regarding Patrick. He was an addict idiot. Yeah, she MADE him a sex addict. Whatever.

R535 She *knew* he was an addictive personality *before* luring him out to date and have sex. They met outside his fucking AA meeting for Christ's sake -- he actually told her that. She could have just as easily encouraged him to stay on course with his recovery, get to his one-year sober milestone, etc. Patrick isn't totally without responsibility for his actions, but Carrie being the more level-headed of the two chose to indulge and play with fire, therefore she bears more responsibility for the mess she made.

I'm the PUTRID case of crabs Charlotte got when the girls went to the Hamptons.

I'm poor Mr. Cocky's delicious, enormous cock which apparently is so gigantic that no woman can come remotely close to handling it. Not even Samantha. All this cock and no sexual satisfaction. PUTRID.

I can't quite side with that, R538. If you're not an addict or if you haven't had an ongoing relationship with an addict (familial, romantic, friend...), then you can't really understand how their mind works and you just don't know.

She didn't lure him into it.

We are the rich, pampered Bat Mitzvah brat and her annoying and moronic friends who will grow up to be worse than Carrie and her posse.

R242 The excerpts of the article we hear actually sound pretty accurate.

How dare you, R543. We are going to sue. For mispunctuation. It should have been "Single and Fabulous!", not "Single and Fabulous?"

Bradshaw, Hobbes, Jones and York sounds like a law firm that Miranda would have worked in. Interesting that even in NYC this group was made up entirely of women with very WASPy backgrounds.

That bat mitzvah brat was Kat Dennings from Thor and 2 Broke Girls, r542.

R477 Those hands! They are the hands of a 90 year old farm hand!

Carrie has been farming all these years?

Which season was the guy overeating Miranda in? I don't remember that at all. Someone referred to him as a former fatty. The only former fatty associated with Miranda that I remembered was Letterman Lou who moved to LA, was a writer on a crap sitcom that sounded a lot like "Friends" and had lost weight by developing an eating disorder.

R548 it was season 5 when she joined a weight watchers or something similar to lose the baby weight. The chubby guy popped up from under Miranda's blankets with a glaze of pussy juice on his face, then tried to kiss her.

Hi guys! Remember me. Ohhh, that smells putrid!

I found it a bit revolting and annoyingly regressive when, after dumping the guy who had pretended to be a doctor, Miranda chose to take Stanford as her 'plus one' to Charlotte's first wedding because she didn't want the 'humiliation' of being dateless and showing up at the ceremony by herself.

For a show that prided itself on being groundbreakingly feminist and suggesting that there was nothing wrong with being a single woman, it still clung to some very old-fashioned ideas about dating and appearances. I found it ha d to believe that Miranda, of all people, would be that concerned about needing a date for a wedding.

Yea better to be dateless than show up with Stanford!

I’M NO MENA SUVARI BUT I’M GREAT IN BED!

I’m Charlotte’s tacky party where each guest brings someone they’re not romantically interested in. And, yes, Carrie brought Stanford.

I can't imagine Miranda being great in bed. I imagine Carrie was the worst though

I’m Rebecca, Charlotte’s nickname for her Vagina.

I’m Charlotte’s vibrator. She quickly became obsessed and addicted to me to the point of never leaving the house until her friends staged an intervention. Then she was suddenly, completely over it and never brought up again.

Is that the vibrator Miranda put in her purse even though it had spent over a week up Charlotte's fanny?

I’m Dr Bradley Meigo who everyone keeps saying is cute but we don’t see it. But he looks good on paper.

I'm Carrie's disgusting and bullshit analogy about testicles being to men what purses are to women.

I'm the Disney lawyer who dresses like a porn star with my pachongas hanging out because, you know, even the professional career women in LA behave like oversexed hookers compared to the allegedly buttoned up and repressed Manhattanites.

R560 she really was a dumb fucker

I'm Miranda's kid, Brady Brady. I have this PUTRID name because when they introduced me into this series, the PUTRID writers on this show could not think ahead on character arcs and story lines to anticipate how fucked up my name could become if viewers applied real-life logic to my family's situation.

When I was born, my mom Miranda Hobbes was single and she named me Brady Hobbes, my first name being my dad Steve's surname. Later in the series my mom married my dad, so my name had to become Brady Brady -- because what married straight couple is going to leave their previously born-out-of-wedlock kid with its mom's maiden name as its surname?

Naturally, my fucked up name is a gaffe that never gets discussed in this series.

R563, he is going to be the UN Secretary General some day. If Boutros Boutros Ghali could make it why can't Brady Hobbes Brady?

I hope Brady comes out as gay, marries a guy with the surname Hobbes and decides to use both names after marriage. Brady Hobbes Brady-Hobbes.

R563 I’m pretty sure Miranda kept her maiden name and therefore Brady could too. But yes, still a dumb move by the writers.

I'm that fucker Carrie, being nasty to Samantha for not supporting new mom Miranda. Then I sit at home obsessing over face - girl and bitch to my friends on the phone while Sam babysit shitty-pants.

R565 Yes Miranda's character kept her maiden name after marrying Steve. Could you imagine her taking any man's surname? I'm surprised the writers didn't have Steve change his name to Hobbes. In fact, they should have done that, if nothing else than to clean up the unanticipated Brady Hobbes Brady glitch in their writing.

Lots of women these days keep their maiden names, which is cool. But I have yet to see a real-life situation where the kids in such a marriage don't take the father's surname. It seems unlikely that in real life, a Miranda / Steve union would be different in this way. More likely that Miranda would force Steve to become Steve Hobbes (which let's face it, he was whipped and would have done so upon Miranda's first mention of it).

I'm the putrid and unrealistic plot change that lowly barman Steve (who couldn't afford a tux a year previously) is now a co-owner of a Manhattan bar. Can't have Miranda having a kid with a barman

I’m all the jealous bitches posting here who obsess over this show, the actors, and live for SATC, but are “too cool” to admit it.

OP, you're going to have to start a thread for part 2 (or, if we're including the "revolting moments" threads, this is around part 4?) soon. There are just too many putrid moments.

There. Part 2

I'm the OTT season 6 trailer portraying Carrie as some huge star

r573 Don't forget that revolting montage to "More, More, More", portraying SJP as the sexiest woman alive.

R572 - OMG her hair looks amazing in this pic.

I’m Dr Bradley Meigo who everyone keeps saying is cute but we don’t see it. But he looks good on paper.

I'm Carrie's insistence on introducing him to every single person she runs into by his full name and title "This is Doctor Bradley Meego" as if the title existed only to make her look good.

The kid was Brady Hobbes - a way to include both surnames without being Brady Brady or Brady Hobbes Brady. Steve and Miranda discussed it -- granted it was before they got married. But, I assume they just left it alone. I don't think it matters since we never see Brady grown up with plots where it's an issue.

The fact that Charlotte married someone who looked like Harry is a character development but if he wasn't a very rich lawyer she would not have. She was still a social climbing floozie

I'm Carrie and Samantha's bitching about the first class accommodations on the train from NYC to Seattle -- like they had no idea and couldn't do research beforehand.

I'm Sam's trying to start a sexy party in the train dining car where her and Carrie will be lusted after, all to no avail.

I'm Sam's constant and grating seductive/sultry voice.

[quote] I'm Sam's trying to start a sexy party in the train dining car where her and Carrie will be lusted after, all to no avail.

Oh, DEAR!

Carrie's perm in season 5 made her look even less attractive

I’m the Fleet Week episode where Carrie dumps cute sailor boy Daniel Sunjata because he said that he didn’t like New York City.

Do they have showers on trains?

R582 sometimes your shitter is a wet room

"Do they have showers on trains?

Golden ones.

I’m Buster and I love rubbing Charlotte’s stinky feet.

I’m Charlotte’s vibrator. think Charlotte finally threw me out the window.

[quote]Is that the vibrator Miranda put in her purse even though it had spent over a week up Charlotte's fanny?

Are you British? Fanny in the US refers to a person's ass, the butt. I don't recall Charlotte shoving the vibrator up her ass.

IIRC, 'fanny' in the UK means pussy? That seem to be why Brits always laugh when an American says they use a fanny pack for their keys, wallet etc, when they are bicycling.

I'm surprised Carrie didn't shove her feet in that guy's face in order to score free shoes.

Every moment was putrid. it was a shitty show.

[quote] I'm Carrie and Samantha's bitching about the first class accommodations on the train from NYC to Seattle

R578 They were going to San Francisco. Remember, Mr. Big was living in Napa so naturally he made an appearance in the episode. But yes, the train bitching was PUTRID.

You're right, R590. I don't know why I thought Seattle.

This thread makes me wonder how the show was ever popular if so much of it is cringeworthy.

I lot of it is "love to hate" fun. I really liked the series during it's initial run and still enjoy the first 2.5 or 3 seasons and assorted episodes thereafter.

[quote]This thread makes me wonder how the show was ever popular if so much of it is cringeworthy.

People watch shows like SATC, and to some extent, those trashy 'real housewives' reality shows, to prove to themselves, people who 'have it all' can be extremely miserable too. It gives viewers some type of validation, it proves to them, money doesn't always buy happiness.

Every person has problems, some worse than others. Viewers also see, so many people with lots of money do seem to have a lot of self-created drama.

For example, Carrie always picked the wrong types of men, mostly because she was completely delusional about herself and had superficial ideas about what was important in a partner. The worse these men treated Carrie the more she wanted them. Despite what most viewers thought abut Carrie's 'independence', Carrie was incredibly insecure and completely tone deaf. The main them of this shit-fest series, straight women are not complete without a man.

And that seems especially tone deaf coming from a gay male creator. Then again, I was never a 90210 fan either.

R592 It was considered more outrageous than most of the shows on TV at the time. Most shows did not do sexually explicit storylines like that.

R587 yes I'm British and you're absolutely correct. We also found it hilarious when Rose told Freida Claxton to "kiss my fanny" right before she dropped dead.

R597, how do actresses playing Fanny Price in Mansfield Park get through it with a straight face?

Fanny as a name does raise a smirk and its certainly not a name you hear often in the UK. It's mainly whenever the word is used casually on TV (meaning ass) that it's most funny.

And just like that ....
