Don’t Let Our Pull Quote Fool You: “Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay” Is Bad

OY VEY MY SON IS GAY POSTCARD 2

Every now and again, an e-mail lands into our “tips” hotline which piques our interest. This is one of those messages. JR over at the hilarious (albeit NSFW) website Homoshame writes the following:

Dear Best Week Ever,

On Saturday night, I dragged two of my best friends and my boyfriend to see “Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay” in Los Angeles. I was inspired to take the journey thanks to Michelle Collins’ post about the film. I thought, “This movie could take terrible to a whole new awesome level!”

Actually, the movie took terrible to a whole new terrible level. Characters’ motivations changed from scene to scene. Lanie Kazan just did a poor-man’s imitation of Michael Myers’ Linda Richmond shtick in every scene. And shockingly, Carmen Electra was probably the least offensive part of the movie (no really). My boyfriend accurately assessed that the flick was “a hate crime against comedy.”

After the movie, in the lobby of the theater, I grabbed the “Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay” postcard/flyer. I flipped it over and saw something awesome. Please see the attached photos.

So just what did JR find on the back of this postcard? Oh, no big deal really…

OY VEY MY SON IS GAY POSTCARD 1

That’s right, readers. Bestweekever.tv has now joined the esteemed ranks of Orcasound Features Magazine and, yes, Canadian National TV (points for vagueness), with a quote that will almost certainly end my career. “Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay Features Most Talented Cast of Actors Ever Assembled For a Film” — Michelle (long inhale) Collins (5 minute sigh). Note, by the way, that the people printing this card couldn’t even get “Lainie Kazan“’s name spelled correctly.

But I ain’t mad. After all, finally someone has taken my ramblings on the internet seriously enough so as to print it on a glossy postcard. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to head over to Laemmle’s to pick me up a stackful so that my grandchildren may one day know that I was once a somebody.
