• 1.1 -- Zack and Slater pouring punch on each other (from "Saved By the Bell") 1.4 --...Puck sticking his fingers into Pedro's peanut butter. 6.2 -- ... Roger Clemens' career from 1997-2004. Nice. And wasn't the peanut butter episode even worse than is described here? I seem to remember Puck taking a few nostril digs before scooping up that peanut butter with his finger. Anyhow: "Just for the record, I blame Puck for the dreg of reality television that we're facing today. Had Puck not stuck his finger in Pedro's peanut butter, creating a cultural zeitgeist that still echoes on, we wouldn't have to go around debating with co-workers about "hot... or not?", and no one would have to get voted off any island." Hmmm.
• 8.0 -- Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River" video. (Note: The most underrated example of vengeance on this list. After Britney cheated on him, not only did he dump her, he put out a best-selling album fueled by a song about their breakup in which he basically destroys her with the lyrics. Just an unbelievable piece of work. It's devastating. I can't even imagine what she did when she first heard it. And if that wasn't enough, he made a well-received video about the song, starring a Britney look-alike. And if THAT wasn't enough, he immediately started going out with Cameron Diaz. By the time he was done, Britney's career was in the tank -- she was chain-smoking and hanging out with backup dancers and white trash guys from her hometown. Now that, my friends, is vengeance. Bravo, Justin. Bravo) Awesome
• i woulda thunk Marcellus Wallace would have ranked higher...
• 1.7 -- The newspaper kid on the bicycle screaming "I want my two dollars!" (from "Better Off Dead") Heh. Twoooo dollllaaarrrrrs.....
• I can't tell you how happy I am that there's a Shannon Tweed reference on this list. Best idea on the list.
• Nah, Queso: according to Mia, Marcellus never threw the guy out of a window so it was all hearsay.
