Keys to winning America’s Best Dance Crew

quest-crew_wins

Some of the requirements:

1. You must represent the West Coast
2. Your group must consist entirely of dudes (Asians preferably)
3. You must portray yourselves as goofy, energetic, and fun-loving
4. Your group must know how to breakdance, or at least have a few Bboys

Anyways, congratulations to Quest Crew for achieving the (Asian) American Dream last week, earning the distinction of being America’s Best Dance Crew for Season 3.

I actually never follow ABDC anymore, not since the first season with Kaba Modern and the Jabbawockeez running the show, but if I did, I’d of course include some generic compliments.

“Quest Crew KILLED it this season.”
“I knew they were going to win from the start!”
“After their performance in Week 4, the competition was pretty much OVAH.”

I really thought the runners-up, Beat Freaks, were going to win it all this season, especially after their amazing display of telekinetic powers.


Then again, they failed to fulfill Requirement #2 (See above). Better luck next season!

  1. quest crew was ridiculously awful, I think however, you have to take some real perspective here, there's a lot going on behind the scenes we dont know....but know, that literally EVERYONE knows that BEAT FREAKS should have taken it.....think money, and think "know how" in the industry....

  6. i don't watch ABDC anymore because there is better shit on television these days...like the new season of heroes....LOL

  7. man...i've missed the passed 2 episodes because I'd rather chat on aim. And that's saying A LOT.

  8. I'm not a dancer or anything, but based on consistent, entertaining and stunt filled performances Quest Crew deserved it.

    Also, is Heroes actually good now? After season 1, I started watching b/c everyone else was. It sucked after season 1 apparently even to some Heroes fans I talked to and to me of course. I stayed with it though based on the fact the show featured super heroes (a cheap trick to woo American audiences), but it kept on sucking. I feel like the writers have a hat filled w/ an infinite amount of plot twists in it and grab 10 for every episode and write them in the storyline. Anyways, I stopped watching b/c I lost faith in it plus I'd rather watch (Emmy award winning) 24 on Mondays @ 9. Sorry, I rambled to express my disappointment in Heroes. Maybe it's better now.

    p.s.: Jack Bauer can kill any of the Heroes (or Villains) w/ his bare hands. Actually, he doesn't even need his hands, muahaha.

    Yours Truly,
    Heroes Hater

  9. As far as tv shows this season - LOST FTW

    ReplyDelete
  10. Well...if it counts for anything, writer(s) from Pushing Daisies are back on Heroes. But even he said it was going to take time to fix the fiasco that is now Heroes.

    United States of Tara and Eastbound and Down is what's up.

  11. Heroes was fine in Season 1. It had well developed characters (for the most part), an overall arching storyline, and some very cool individual efforts (Jack Coleman as HRG in episode Company Man).

    When Season 2 started, one of the lead writers (Bryan Fuller) went to create one of the most engaging shows on television Pushing Daisies. Heroes went downhill shortly after.

    Then we had the writers strike. Fans said, "oh great, now we have to wait months and months for more Heroes, but at least they can take the time to make the show a quality program again." Unfortunately that wasn't the case with Season 3, with even the most fanboyish of fanboys hating the show.

    Heroes is a rare occasion in which it had a huge audience, but then they actually LOST tons of fans. Most shows work on trying to grow their viewership (ie. 30 Rock).

    As far as good, quality TV (at least in my opinion), that's a whole other post entirely...what a good idea...

    P.S. - Yeah, 24, Lost, United States of Tara, all awesome, but I highly recommend Breaking Bad (season 2 just started last Sunday)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh, and even with Bryan Fuller returning, I'm sure the episodes will be better, but I believe that this season is too much of a train wreck for even the best TV writers to repair. Better luck next fall NBC!

  13. I havent even touched chuck or heroes since they came back, spring break! WHAT ABOUT DEXTER? is that shit still alive?

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think I heard Dexter is still going strong, still good.

    The new episodes of Chuck have been pretty good; the show is consistently watchable, which can't be said for an aforementioned television series about people with powers.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Season 3 of Dexter ended around last fall, not sure when season 4 is starting up, but the show as good as ever.

    And I do agree that Chuck is an incredibly consistent show to watch. Josh Schwartz really knows his teen dramas (he's an EP on Gossip Girl as well)

  16. y'all should just do a new post on prime time shows lol

  17. NBC fucked up real bad with Heroes.. what could of been the show of our generation with the resurgence of the superhero/comic book genre in pop culture, instead turned into a complete waste of perfectly good material to work with.

    Probably the only good thing to come out of the train-wreck that is Heroes, is the future career of Zachary Quinto (Sylar), set to play Mr. Spock in the upcoming Star Trek film.

  29. ^^ those young'ns in the video are pretty good.

    Kelly Kapowski will always be every guy's high school sweetheart. (Unless you had jungle fever, in which case Lisa Turtle would suffice.) I wonder how her and Zack are doing though

    ReplyDelete
  30. i have a feeling zack morris has a pot belly unmotivated in life, while kelly kapowski is having an affair with one of her managers....again...

  31. AC Slater is dreamy

    ReplyDelete
  32. naw, it's all about that nurse in that one episode of Saved by the Bell. The nurse that zach had a crush on, she was fiinnneeee

    ReplyDelete
  33. the nurse that locked him inside the office and tried to have her way with him?

    ReplyDelete
  34. then Slater punks out because hes too scared to get a shot

    ReplyDelete
  35. dear god, someone please post something new.

    ReplyDelete
  36. is this a record in comments? anyway im pretty sure we have enough material for 5 new posts. anyway, i had a stint where i wouldn't sleep until I'd watch saved by the bell at 4AM on TBS. And Kelly Kapowski is untouchable in her prime. They even had panty shows of her when she would do russians in her cheerleader outfit. That pretty much sealed the deal for me. Kelly Kapowski > every woman in history.
