"My Name Is Earl" HD Easter Eggs!

Neat! Has anyone else seen these? The producers of My Name Is Earl have been slipping little extra gags in just for the High Definition audience. Look at these screen grabs:

Here is Earl at the copy centre. Look at Randy in the background. What’s he holding up? A sign!
Here is Earl’s dad’s campaign going south. Notice the sign in the window at the far left.
Lastly, see if you can catch the visual gag from the end of Joy’s wedding episode.

This show just gets better and better!

Now I want a Hi-Def TV.

I admit I usually watch it in HD, but I never caught any of those gags. Now I’ll be sure to look more closely (it took me a while to get the one from Joy’s wedding).

Thanks for the heads-up!

OK, I give up. What am I missing in the “Joy’s wedding” picture?

The Blind in one eye guy with the camera up to his patch.

:smack:

Smackie should be using his other hand, shouldn’t he?

Wow, that’s awesome. Seems like something Arrested Development would do.

I’m not really up on that whole technology thing. Are these signs and whatnot only able to be seen by people with Hi-Def? How are they able to do that?

They’re visible, but only as sheets of paper - well, the first one anyway. The resolution on a regular TV won’t pick up the writing.

The screen size is different. Those fancy schmantzy high-def people get a wider image, while us lowly scum with regular TVs have stuff on either side cropped off.

Me want Hi-Def too.

OK, maybe I’m wrong. Waiting to hear from others.

You sure? I’m thinking that it’s because hi-def is broadcast in widescreen format, and all these things are at the edges that get cropped out for regular viewing.

And I HAVE and HD set, AND digital cable with HD, but no HD NBC! The god-damn cable company basically lied to me saying I would get all these HD channels, when in reality the only HD channels I get are a few cable channels, TNT, Discoery, etc…None of my broadcast channels are HD, because the local affiliates they get piped in from don’t broadcast in HD. Gee, thanks for telling me that, douche wipes. Isn’t there a way you can give me the NATIONAL feed in HD? Oh, what;s that? There is? You’re just too much of a cock knobbler to bother to do it? I see.

Actually, the cable company cannot give you a national high-def feed of any broadcast network. It’s because the networks can’t make any such feed available; doing so is probably the most effective way possible of pissing off their affiliates.

The party to blame is your local affiliate.

Nope, I’m not sure. That sounds good, too. :smiley:
