COURTNEY PAUROSO: VANESSA 5000 DROPOUT PRESENTS

[dropoutposts]

Wait a moment, this sex robot wasn't supposed to come with political commentary

[gazebo-components]

vanessa 5000 is the culmination of everything I’ve been enjoying over the past 21 years of my life. sex. clowning. women being insane. That Scene from disobedience. pornographic dystopian horrors. wow

***Spoilers for Vanessa 5000***

- It is so so so fucking good!

- “I want to doink you like a dinosaur”

- She is giving off real Lady Gaga vibes

- I need Courtney Pauroso and Caldwell Tanner to talk in robot voices at each other. (Context: Caldwell also has an amazing robot voice)

- the stepmom roleplay was ridiculous

- Courtney Pauroso is so talented and funny. Vanessa 5000 is an incredible commentary on the intersection of tech and sex and an amazing performance. Also a great warning against agreeing to terms and conditions without reading the fine print. She is a brilliant performer and also I liked when she showed her butt.

- I think this is one of the most unique things I’ve ever seen on tv. It reminds me of the crazy shit we used to do when I taught drama.

- The added detail that Tanya is 18 after the fact is hilarious and a mean trick.

- Ted Kaczynski references were WILD

- I was not expecting her to hold a disk with her butt. This is the kind of quality content you only get with a subscription

- Just absolutely remarkable object work throughout

- This show feels like it was made for tumblr

- what’s wrong with me that I think goblin mode is hotter?

- “I’m gonna lick your teeth” and then she SPAT IN HIS MOUTH!!! What the fuck!?

- I felt drunk by the end of that part

- I knew the turn was coming because after the heights of goblin mode you have to have this beat that changes things. But the turn wasn’t what I expected.

- showing up with a face of blood and it dripping down her front is so cool. I love women covered in blood tho.

- this is so entirely my shit it’s hard to express how much I love it. I guess, if I were gonna express it concisely, I’d sum it up this way:

- I wanna doink you like a dinosaur

[heyitsphoenixx]

its like chris grace's special was great on a similar meta level bc he was like "this is who i am this is the bit im doing and this is why im doing it" and then vanessa 5000 is like "this is who im telling you i am and this is what im doing and maybe ill spit in your mouth and you'll just have to figure out wtf that means and if you stop playing with me we'll both die" lmao

[the-writer-nerd-ro]

"Who are you here with?"

"My partner, Emma."

"Awww, she's gonna miss you."

HAUNTING

Vanessa 5000 without context

[gingerteaonthetardis]

i need noise more or less all the time, so i know a piece of media has done something really good to my brain when i just... don't want to watch or listen to anything after it. like when you eat something delicious and don't want to lose the taste in your mouth. anyway i just watched vanessa 5000

[hollyevolving]

"Los Angeles folks!

We’ll be filming a series of specials at @ElysianTheater starting next week (that will eventually be released on Dropout under the umbrella title "Dropout Presents") - and tickets are now available for all shows!"

So uh, yeah.

The specials are:

Chris Grace: "As Scarlett Johansson"

Courtney Pauroso: "Vanessa 5000"

Brennan Lee Mulligan & Izzy Roland: "Bigger" (improv)

From Ally To Zacky (improv) with Ally Beardsley, Zac Oyama, Kimia Behpoornia, Devin Field, Victoria Longwell, Oscar Montoya, Talia Tabin, and Jacob Wysocki

The Big Team (improv) Ify Nwadiwe, Ronnie Adrian, Zeke Nicholson, Ishmel Sahid, Carl Tart, Lamar Woods

They all filmed at the end of February 2024 and I am sure they will take a long time to finish editing.

But aaaaah!
