It’s kinda hard to give no fucks when there are plastic pink flamingos telling you to do stuff. The amount of confusion you are feeling right now is nothing compared to Jaye’s who takes on this new “gift” with the gracefulness of a monster truck. In fact all inanimate objects with animal faces start talking to her. The show focuses on disaffected underachiever Jaye Tyler, a twenty something philosophy grad who spends her days in slacker bliss working in a Niagara Falls gift shop, until a wax lion starts talking to her.

But lucky us, the remaining nine episodes were added (along with tons of other goodies) to the series DVD set. It premiered on Fox in 2004 and was cancelled after only four episodes.
No matter how much they spike their prices, I will forever be grateful to this site for exposing me to possibly my favorite show of all time. I came across Wonderfalls from the strange black hole that was early Netflix. And most importantly the shows’ main slacker characters, Jaye Tyler and George Lass. Well, not technically him, but his shows, which at the time included Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me (I would become obsessed with his magnum opus, Pushing Daisies, years later). But what about the women who are leaning back? Before there was this “golden age of female comedy” where I could watch Mindy Kaling wear pajamas while eating fast food all day or Ilana Glazer taking naps during her job in Broad City, I had Bryan Fuller. Pop culture idolizes slacker dudes, but where are the slacker dudettes? Hit films like The Big Lebowski and anything from Judd Apatow have cemented slackerdom as a guys paradise and I’m sure one could argue that this lead to the stereotype of career driven women that are “leaning in”.
