Last night on The Hills, the Chucky doll-ish Spencer Pratt schooled viewers on how to be a functioning adult who behaves appropriately. Upon hearing that his girlfriend/robot's sister, Holly, wants to spend time with mortal enemy Lauren Conrad, Spencer gives a death glare and then pulls out the "As long as you're living under my roof…" argument, complete with his big word of the day, "fraternizing." He also shows off his fantastic passive-aggressiveness with a sarcastic comment about how Lauren is "really cool." When none of those tactics work, he stomps off to throw a tantrum in his room. Well played, Spence. Well played. (Scene at 0:45.)

Oh my god! What self-centered deutches. There was so little about that conversation that was tolerable or adult. And why does his mouth always look dirty?? And why does she look like Ann Coulter to me?
And if they want her to move out, maybe they should "let" her find a friend. Oh my god! The show just SUCKS YOU IN!! Help!!!
Why cant I see it? We're sorry, this video is no longer available. Oh well, no big loss.
OK, someone owes me 22 minutes of my time back and a piece of my soul. Well, that's not true. I only have myself to blame, but I had never watched The Hills and I finally watched an episode. I…it's…how? I have never been at such a loss for words.
The only phrase that comes to mind, for some reason, is from the court case wherein the U.S. Supreme Court initially defined "obscenity." In the writing they used the term "utterly without redeeming social value," and I think that's about as good of a description as I can come up with.
Can anyone explain the appeal? It made me want to self-harm.
Lily, you have just saved the world. You are so right - the Hills is completely and "utterly without redeeming social value" and we can now use that to get it kicked off the air. And if that happens, we can start the countdown to the Speidi murder/suicide which is a win/win for them (because - let's be honest - some people are better off dead) and the tv viewing public!
Three cheers for Lily!
Thank you Lily!
You saved me from pressing play and watching a show I have otherwise avoided. Your speech helped me to make the correct decision and step back from the mouse.
I will keep living my The Hills free life.
Thank you.
Why does no one ever call this asshole out on his behavior? No way in hell would i allow him to speak to my friends or family, or ME that way. And why doesn't he have a job??????
