I was flipping through the TV channels late one night, drunk, enjoying my weekend, when I stumbled upon a crazy show where this bizarre, energetic little man literally screamed stock tips at the camera. He also threw props around his studio and summoned bold screen graphics from his keyboard to accompany his wild, "x-treme" attitude.
I watched in awe for the shows remaining 10 minutes or so, laughing until I was in tears... but unfortunately I was too drunk to catch the name or even the channel I was watching. I thought the show was lost to me forever.
But tonight I rediscovered it, thanks to the small opening bit at the very beginning of the newest episode of "Arrested Development!" Horray! The show is called "Mad Money" and it's hosted by Jim Cramer. It's aired every weekday night on CNBC. I watched a new episode tonight and it was just as funny (if not more) while stone cold sober.
If any of you are looking to watch something insanely bizarre, intoxicated or not, you might want to tune in for an episode or two of "Mad Money." It comes with my highest recommendations. :)
So in other words, nobody recommends this show?
'Mad Money' is some hilarious stuff, but you do have to know what in the hell Jim is talking about if you want to take his advice on investing. This show is for serious investors that know the jargon and aren't throwing their money away.
"So in other words, nobody recommends this show?"
Ha-ha...snort...I get it...took me a few seconds but I'm there.

I really get a kick out of Mad Money. It's like Crazy Eddie of the stock market. I watch every chance I get. Great show.
I too get a kick out of this guy. I had seen him a few times, stopping to watch and get a laugh, but it wasn't until my dad pointed out to me his mannerisms being a hybrid of Sam Kinison, Robin Williams, and Bobcat Goldthwait, that I really began to appreciate just how entertaining this guy is! His stock tips are basic, though he's able to pull opinions out of thin air for his callers. It's really impressive to hear him jump from various textiles companies to oil to advertising to whatever else anyone asks and always give a yes or no answer. Balls to the walls my friend.
Thanks Odinn7, it was just begging to be said.
