If I had a penny for every friend I had, I would be pretty shitty at buying Christmas presents and don't worry, I am. Amazon is a great micro-economy that clearly displays supply and demand, you can make good money reselling items from your own collections that people really want and find more generally undesired items for sale dirt cheap. Let's face it, ComicsOnline reader, your friends and family probably don't expect much from you. You're the kind of person that relatives refuse to give cash to because they know where it'll go. But there's a way around this, (no, I don't mean selling Best Buy gift cards for 75% of their value on Craigslist) save massive amounts of money on presents for people you don't really care about much in the first place (YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM, CAROL)!
American Idol: The Search for a Superstar
There was a time when American Idol hadn't surpassed baseball as the American Pastime. A time when former host, Brian Dunkleman, had a higher billing than Simon Cowell. This time was 2002 and your friend can relive it every day with two DVDs of highlights and behind the scenes footage from the first season of American Idol. Also, I'm fairly confident that you could use that penny to get Season 1 winner, Justin Guarini, to personally sing Christmas carols to your friend.
Sex and the City Essentials – The Best of Mr. Big
I don't know much about women aside from the fact that they're almost like people. But one thing I do know is that they love everything related to Sex and the City. They love it in a mysterious way that involves them acknowledging that its awful and fake but never missing a single episode. I say buy this DVD for any female in your life, sure it only has a few episodes but who can tell the difference, it's all yap-yap-yap, you know what I'm saying? And if any girl out there is offended, I will apologize as soon as you beat me, best two out of three, at arm wrestling. SPORTS!
The Osbournes: Season 1 (Censored)
Remember how Ozzy Osbourne's family used to have a mediocre reality show on MTV? Now someone you're lukewarm about can own the first censored season on DVD (Sorry, you have to pay more than a cent to hear the word “fuck”). Man, this family is OUTRAGEOUS, you've got to check this box set out!
The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
You know that video that you watched on Break.com that was pretty funny but not worth forwarding to your friends? Now you CAN forward it to your friend! Over and over! In a full hour of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog on DVD. I hope this doesn't poop on your friendship. (I keed, I keed)
How can your friend argue with a box set that clearly reads “hit sitcom!” on the cover? They can't. Ellen “I Guess I Can See How Someone Would Find Her Funny” DeGeneres stars in this 90s sitcom about a thirty-something woman dealing with her quirky friends, boy trouble and running her own business. This is pre-out-of-the-closet Ellen, so it still makes a great gift for your grandfather who's “just set in his ways”.
Seriously, what did you expect for a penny?
