Finally, we’re getting down to the nitty gritty. In last night’s I Hate My 30s finale, Chad and Carol were both so miserable about their loveless lives that they decided to do the Internet dating thing. They met some real freaks — Chad, for instance, went on a date with a lady who had so many facial piercings there’s no way she’d ever get through airport security. (She let it be known early on that her “south mouth” was under construction, so nookie was out of the question.) Just as they were on the verge of giving up, Chad and Carol found their soulmates online — in each other. Too bad that on the net, no one knows your name. We caught up with Chad and Carol and asked them both the same questions. Their answers? Enlightening.

Flashback episodes are usually about as exciting as a box of Norah Jones’ hair . . . we’re sorry, we fell asleep there. Were we saying something? Anyway . . . yes, flashback episodes usually suck. But last night on I Hate My 30s, we were treated to some very special memories. When the company changes ownership, people get promoted left and right. It causes Kyle to recall his first day of work, when he was replacing a much-loved employee named Mikey. Everyone loved Mikey, especially Corey. At Mikey’s going away party, Kyle attempted to drown his insecurities in a bathtub’s worth of 120-proof. Instead, he wound up whipping out his penis and peeing all over the cake. We caught up with Kyle and Corey to discuss that fateful night.

You hear that ticking sound? No, it’s not the fame clock running out on Flavor Flav . . . it’s the sound ovaries make on I Hate My 30s! Last night, two of our favorite females caught baby fever. Mandy decided to procreate with Kyle — a ridiculous decision, she’d have had more luck with a Cabbage Patch doll — while Carol babysat Travis‘ kid, Bickle, who is an unholy terror. Interviews with the lonely ladies after the jump. Can’t you just taste the estrogen?

You know you’re over 30 when you discover that bad credit and collection agencies aren’t just the stuff of insomniac theater. In last night’s I Hate My 30s, Chad’s poor financial habits catch up with him and leave him homeless. In the meantime, Kyle and Katie get an unexpected visitor. The two roommates get to host Kyle’s teenage niece, Kelly, after she has an argument with her mother and runs away from home. Kelly’s the shoe-shopping obsessive of Internet fame, and her abrasive personality doesn’t mesh well with Katie, who’s an obsessive herself — an obsessive real-estate agent. We caught up with Katie and Kelly to ask them about each other, Kyle and shoes. Interviews after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’ve never seen Kelly’s video for “Shoes,” then truly, you have truly been missing out. Kelly is the alter-ego of comedian Liam Sullivan, and she rose to fame off this video. Apparently, she like shoes. If you tell her she has big feet she’ll stomp you. She hates her parents. And she’s also in this week’s episode of I Hate My 30s.

After an argument with her mother, Kelly shows up on her cousin Kyle’s doorstep. In very short order she manages to disrupt the entire cast of the show, wreaking havoc like only a 16-year-old obsessive with the personal hygiene of a bottom-feeding mud wrestler possibly could. Check back on Friday for our recap of the show, plus our interview with Kelly. Revealing.

I Hate My 30s airs this Thursday at 10:30 p.m. (EDT).

Our friends on I Hate My 30s are beginning to crack. In what was probably the truest demonstration of people acting their emotional ages yet, Vicki tried to recapture the rock ‘n’ roll fantasies of her youth. You guessed it: Failure. Meanwhile, Bruce — our favorite character on the show, the guy who’s always working out because if he doesn’t he’ll “be fat by five o’clock” — has a body-issue meltdown. And, as it turns out, it’s all related to those pesky Wilson brothers. You know, like the stars of The Royal Tenenbaums. It’s always fun to check in with the 30s characters to see how they’re holding up. This week, Vicki even sang us a song. Check it out after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

I Hate My 30s went all magical last night, as Corey, the boss’ assistant and resident cubicle nerd, professed his love for the Wizard Larry series of books. When he meets the books’ author, Carrington Witherspoon, she tells him that he resembles Acrimonious Immpe, Wizard Larry’s beloved chemistry professor. In the meantime, however, Corey’s just been served with divorce papers by his wife and has moved into his parents’ house. So he snaps and shows up to work in an Acrimonious Immpe costume, thinking that he’s a fictional character. (Any mockery of adults who read Harry Potter is not incidental.) Meanwhile, Travis, the office rocker, is having trouble identifying with his son Bickle. (Should he rent Taxi Driver? Of course!) But by reading Wizard Larry books to him, Travis begins to develop a relationship with his kid — and learns a thing or two that helps Corey out as well. We caught up with Corey and Travis. Interviews continue below. Read the rest of this entry »

I Hate My 30s is VH1’s new comedy show about office workers who are staring down the long barrel of 30 and looking at death — not to mention spinsterhood, debt and bitter, crushing loneliness. As mercurial host Dr. Rod says of the show, “It demonstrates that, while life does indeed suck balls, at least it only gets worse.”

Grim as 30 can be, it can also be funny. The first episode, which premiered last night, was all about Carol’s birthday party. She’s a lovely, driven single girl who’s worried that her eggs are going to dry up and blow away. Her work life is being made complicated by Chad, a co-worker who has a crippling crush on her (and gives her an extremely inappropriate birthday present). We thought it would be good to check in with the two of them before the inevitable inter-office romance begins and destroys their lives. Interviews after the jump: Read the rest of this entry »
