Not familiar with New York? Let me help you get from under that gigantic rock!

Ok, that’s better.

Stateside or not, love her or hate her, if you watch any junk TV at all, you should be aware of a character commonly known as New York, aka Tiffany Patterson. She is outrageous, outspoken, loud, dramatic, occasionally down right obnoxious, lovably anserine, and just, well. New York.

Now she may seem like some kind of ghetto-fab hood rat if you’re not paying attention, and just judging her on her demeanor. You shouldn’t. Once you get past all of that, you can see a good person. How good?

Would you date a little person? I’m ashamed to say that’s one circumstance where I would judge based on looks. I’m short and I can’t marry another shorter person. If I had a whole bunch of tall genes I’d consider it.

New York had some dating shows and she had the chance to immediately get rid of the height-challenged individual, and didn’t. She got to know him and decided after that. In this case, she’s better than me.

How many times do you judge other people’s culture… but then circle back around to give it another go? How often do people attempt to learn about other people, find out they’re doing wrong, and then try it another way?

If you still don’t get what the fuss is after watching the video above, don’t worry, I’ve got more. I tell you, I despised her at first, and tuned in just to laugh at her. But she seriously grew on me.

She’ll eventually say, sometimes all loud and wrong, something you were probably thinking but think it’s impolite to say. She’ll eventually charm you with her sincerity in wanting to be more, do more, and find real love.

Give her a chance, she’ll grow on you too. Until then, she’s at least worth a good-natured laugh or two.

I feel like there’s something wrong with everyone who doesn’t love how awful the characters on this show are. They are the Seinfeld quartet on crack with the Arrested Development mentality. If you watched the clip above without absolutely laughing your ass off, consult your physician to have the stick surgically removed from up yonder.

To set it up for you, if you’re the type to read the text before playing the clip, as I am, these four folks from Philadelphia run a bar in same city called Paddy’s. (Very poorly, I might add. Which tells you something. How do you go broke selling alcohol, America’s most accepted vice?) Two of them, Dennis and Dee are brother and sister. Dennis, Mac and Charlie own the bar.

They have an on-going feud with some people who decide to take them hostage. I’m not even going to get into that back story because the beauty of this show is that each episode is funny on its own even if you don’t know the deeper layers.

So, as any four best friends would in a hostage situation, they completely turn on each other. Charming. The only thing better than this only slightly unexpected, but more true-to-life trick, is the dialogue employed as they stab each other in the back.
