Real Genius
That 70’s Show’s resident sour-puss scientologist Danny Masterson looks back in modesty on the confounding success of That 70’s Show.
It doesn’t feel like my show’s over yet… My show did what a lot of shows never do - survive and make genius comedy.
Thank you, Danny Masterson. Thank you for all your genius comedy.

Let’s see, my psychiatrist went to Harvard, was educated in both psychoanalytic theory and medicine, knows at least 10 languages…but yeah,he’s evil and I’m going to listen to douchbags from t.v. instead! They know what’s best for me! Because they, like, studied this stuff right? They read all the studies and books and treated real people with disorders and are on the cutting edge of brain science!! Right? Anyone?
“Matt. Matt, Matt, you don’t even— you’re glib.”
Please! Your psychiatrist has raped and murdered puppies!!! How dare you speak on behalf of reason and thought!
Wow. Sounds like you better schedule another appointment with that doc of yours! Just went off an a totally uncalled for tangent! Damn! Take a deep breath!
what the F does a shrink know about a brain? all they do is keep us hopped up or zoned out. Therapy is so 20th century.
are you tom from myspace?
Lol!!! Funniest comment all week. For serious.
“Thank you, Danny Masterson. Thank you for all your genius comedy.”
that was fucking hilarious…that’s gonna be good for some chuckles all day long.
Is his CYHSY t-shirt at the dry clearners?
His beliefs in Scientology don’t bother me nearly as much as the fact that he thinks he’s a hardcore badass. He’s real serious about being serious.
Being Danny Masterson is mediocre enough and then there’s the poor guy who’s known as Danny Masterson’s brother..and looks just like him. That would suck.
Anyone who wears their hat like that is a douchebag…scientology or not.
I’m baffled by Scientology. If I were a burgoening Hollywood star and the folks from the church of Scientology approached me I would ask three simple questions: 1) Will this help me get laid?(I’m thinking Eye’s Wide Shut mask party) 2) Will this help me get continuous work? 3) Is there a cafeteria with a great cook?
Any of those answers are no then I’m asking for my 5 minutes back. Actually I accept the invitation and then give the main church’s bathroom an Upper-decker
Well, sir or madame, you are in luck! Not only will the CoS get you laid (except that homo sex because everyone knows Xenu was a raving queer), get you continuous work (we have an exciting program known as the Sea Org where all your magical dreams come true merely by signing a billion year contract and work, work, WORK for us for free), but our chefs are the TOPS… (according to a recent poll that was manufactured by our side-project-group “For Real These Polls Are Legit!”)… Follow me this way for your “free” personality “test”…
What’s really funny is that none of your dumbass readers would bother to click the link and read those quotes IN CONTEXT.
He called it “my show” in relation to his brother’s show, as in, “his show” and “my show” … get it?
Danny and Chris Masterson are pretty decent fucking sitcom actors. Yeah, yeah, I said sitcom actors. I don’t think either of them consider themselves Thespians.
Everytime I read someone who comments on a blog call a famous person a loser, I want to scream, “NOT LIKE YOU, RIGHT?”
I am outraged by your comments! And your outrage at all of this outrage is totally outrageous!
Whoa, it’s cliche, but: get a life. I hardly think your good buddy Danny would defend you so wholeheartedly.
That’s not funny at all.
pretty decent fucking sitcom actors…not impressive. Not impressive at all. I actually thought he was a fairly awful sitcom actor who never changes his intonation or facial expression no matter what lines he is uttering. It’s true, I saw it the other day. He sucks.
anonymous is Danny Masterson
not thesbians, thetans.
tuna or egg salad today?
You know scientologists are obsessed with the color blue… they wear blue all the time, a sure sign of mental stability… everyone CLEAR on that?
Can we also acknowledge that Malcolm in the Middle is also going off the air? Along with 70s Show, there goes two shows that were only funny for a season.
apparently in the ethical world of zenu its okay to promote being a druggie on tv, in the name of genius comedy, but dont let those damn shrinks near you kids……
The most humorous part of it all with Danny was his appearance on ‘Entourage’. More specifically, when Kevin Connoly says in reference to Danny: “the guy has a tv show, a radio show, and he dj’s.” In reference to how he works hard for his cash flow. Like he makes any money working in radio and dj-ing.
still after all this debating, nobody has mentioned the ‘boss’ sunglasses worn by the security guard behind danny masterson? talk about the new corey hart!
“What’s really funny is that none of your dumbass readers would bother to click the link and read those quotes IN CONTEXT. He called it “my show” in relation to his brother’s show, as in, “his show” and “my show” … get it?”
Oh, I do get it now, thanks for clearing that up, anon! That was really bothering me but I feel better. Now I can hate him strictly for his retarded scientology beliefs and not his egocentrism.
“Everytime I read someone who comments on a blog call a famous person a loser, I want to scream, ‘NOT LIKE YOU, RIGHT?’”
But commenting on people commenting on celebrities is absolutely NOT pathetic. Good job there. You really got us.
Your comments made me dance a jig… a SEXY jig…
shame the photog didnt catch me at that party in my blue PSYCHIATRIST tee.
No one has mentioned that Danny Masterson is dating Bijou Philips! So it all comes full circle, or something. Does she do anything besides act like a stupid wh*re/hang out with Paris Hilton (really the same thing)? Just curious.
dont talk about bijou that way. seriously.
I saw Bijou’s Playboy spread…and I must admit it was awesome…she pours vegetable oil all over herself and then frolicks in a humangous Wok…alright not true. but her box looks well fit and tidy in the spread. granted she could have had it destroyed by Dennis Rodman since then….but still.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you want to gain credibility in this world you have to star in a campy, unwatched sitcom about a pointless decade that starred, at least at some point, Ashton Kutcher, and then publicly declare your adherence to a punch-line religion. That is the only way for people to take you seriuosly anymore. Oh, and you don’t have to have thick, dumb sideburns, but it doesn’t hurt.
this comment thread is genius comedy.
he’s definitley pulling off the “check out this shirt i got at good will - not something i made with an iron-on shirt making kit to make a statement that is so passe its awkward” look. bravo danny…bravo.
Is it okay to like Mary Stuart Masterson?
his bradpitts reek of douchebaggery
No it’s not okay skyheim…but we’ll let wave the flag for Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio….happy now?
Best. Comments. Ev— nevermind. Best whatever ever is so March. But these are pretty f*cking funny. Ya’ll rock.
and here i thought psychiatrists was some new band i’m not hip to yet… damn you, danny masterson!!
Is that guy in the wrestler shades a psychiatrist? Or is he another Scientomogist?
nobody has mentioned how danny’s brother chris masterson is hittin’ hottie redhead laura prepon! damn, she fine! but i used to respect danny, until i learned he was scientologist. how can these people not see that it’s a SCAM and a CULT!?!?
Spencer - can you please limit the comments to like 56 characters or something. Man if I was anonymous’ boss I would be really pissed if I just paid that loser for 2 hours to write that dumb self-rightous shit. Someone takes themselves a little too seriously besides danny masterson in the chat.
Sorry - that was a little long. Attention span … spanned away and im out
I’m so glad we have freedom of religion here the US.
I think Scientology is a bit… off. And that’s being generous. But far be it from me to judge people for their beliefs. As far as I was educated, this country was founded on the principle of being able to believe however you see fit.
When people were part of the Branch Davidian cult, I don’t recall people calling them “insane,” or “stupid.” “Misguided” was about as far as it went. But since this particular “religion” has a lot of members in the public eye, famous people with money and that frankly have better lives than 99% of us, it’s okay to blast them for their beliefs?
I’m not Christian. Maybe I’ll start calling all Christians idiots that follow something that can’t be proved and has no real basis in reality save for a book that was written thousands of years ago and has been translated hundreds of times.
Oh, but I can’t do that. Because Christianity is established, largely followed, and accepted (through force, mind you, at its beginnings).
Is Tom Cruise insane? Most likely. Is Masterson a douchebag? Maybe. But judge those people based on their actions, not their beliefs. Grow up.
if you’re going to talk that much hilariously self-righteous nut-baggery, anonymous, then you had better leave your name and your email address. otherwise, go away. far away.
I’m just wondering, what grade are you in? You either write quite well for a 10 year old, or you are insufferable. So if something is “established, largely followed, and accepted” we can’t call it idiotic? What about slavery in the 19th century? Was that idiotic? Can we only call things idiotic in hindsight? Can I come back in one hundred years then, and call Tom Cruise an a@shole?
he is in 29th grade but he has the ass of a ten year old
Spencer didn’t point out another fabulous quote from Danny: “The only time I use sarcasm is with somebody who’s really a good friend.” Come on guys, Scientology isn’t important - THIS is the important stuff! This guy is a genius!


and i didnt think i could hate scientologists even more……
