The TV Addict 

You and I had the exact same reaction…Where is Kanye when you need him???

I cry cry cried.

I was super sad NPH is so much funnier, and I think that Two and a Half Men is past its prime, and really not enjoyable. But there’s always next year!

I was double sad because I lost a slap bet as a result.

nph deserved to win! but he was a good sport. one day he’ll win it, no worries.

I went from being on an absolute high seeing Kristin Chenoweth’s win her Emmy to the lowest of lows when Jon Cryer’s name was announced. And then I came to realize that these things will never be as you’d hope them to be. NPH will have his Emmy next year!

Noooo, how could they not give it to the Barnacle!!

i definitely think john hughes dying played a big part in john cryer winning. a total symphathy vote situation. neil patrick harris absolutely deserved it.. 2 1/2 men is not even funny! himym is hundred times funnier!

I accept Harris’ defeat. He is too genius for TV and he already hosted the Emmy’s, they were just too scared everybody thought it was crooked if they gave the Emmy to Harris, so they gave to it this guy that is not funny or talented playing a lousy role on a show that’s only loved by the masses for it’s simplicity then for actually being funny.
See, I kept it friendly.

the obvious reaction, “WTF!?!?!…….NPH is genius, Jon Cryer is still on TV? Seriously, WHO watches that show?”

Immediate Reaction: “Seriously? Of all the people nominated, he’s the only one who’s not at all funny.”

Secondary Reaction: “Lame.”

And then: “Poor NPH. Now he has to keep hosting with a smile on his face.”

Much Later: “NPH is the bomb. Didn’t miss a beat, and still hosted the best Emmy’s in… well, probably ever.”

My reaction… totally open-mouthed, and then “WHAT?! Barney Stinson lost to the dude from TWO AND A HALF MEN?!” And then I cried a little bit. No, I didn’t. But I did feel bad for NPH. He was robbed but he still hosted like a champ.

I had been telling my boyfriend all week that NPH was absolutely going to win the award. We were out for the first half of the show, and missed the award itself, but the first thing I did when we got home was check the awards already given out so I could brag about being right. Much to my dismay, NPH had not, of course, won. I yelled angrily at my laptop briefly, and then the Dr. Horrible sketch came on TV and I realized NPH was too cool for the Emmys anyway and got over it. =D

My reaction: Comedy gold. I was looking forward to how NPH would play it.

Also wanted to tell my parents who are big Two and a Half Men fans the news and found them both asleep in front of the TV!

poor swarley!! he was robbed! jon cryer and two and a half men were never funny- it has a canned laugh track!!!

I was shocked and upset – especially since he lost to Jon Cryer!

Jon Cryer beating Neil Patrick Harris for best supporting actor is an outright failure of democracy. It was one of the lowest points in recorded history.

I thought, Emmy is probably the only lady Alan could steal away from Barney!

There was some screaming at the TV and then a pint of ice cream as consolation.

What? No! This was the only award I expected HIMYM to win and they deserve so much more!

I threw up a little bit in my mouth. And then realized that maybe my mother isn’t the only one who watches Two and a half men.

My TV is just lucky that there wasn’t anything within grabbing distance for me to throw at it when they announced Jon Cryer’s name.

I think my exact words were, “WHAT? You have got to be KIDDING ME!” My whole family was watching, and we’re all huge HIMYM fans and most of us had picked NPH in our Emmy pool. I could have accepted Rainn Wilson or Jack McBrayer winning, but Jon Cryer? Really Academy? REALLY?

Stunned. STUNNED! I mean, I thought he was a shoo-in, esp. after Jeremy Piven failed to earn a nom for once. And it should have been NPH. Jon Cryer is all right and all. But he will always be Duckie to me. NPH deserved this. If you ask me, the success of HIMYM is all due to his wonderful portrayal of Barney. You take away Barney and you’re kind of left with a lame ass show. And I say that with a deep love for the show. Truly, I adore this quirky time-jumping sitcom. But Barney makes it!

I decided I needed a two step plan to help me get over my dissapointment. 1) Find a girl to try “The Naked Man” on and help me deal with the first rough night. 2) Start a Slap Countdown for any and everyone who voted against NPH

WTF?! Will that show never go off the air? How can Barney not win? He is AWESOME!

my reaction was “wha…..???”. the emmys broke my brain for a little while

Seriously? I just sat there in shock. Stared at my TV screen and tried not to scream. I would have lived if the Emmy had gone to someone else, but John Cryer? Of Two and a Half men?! Of all the comedy shows on television, the Academy had to pick the one I hated most. It made the whole thing just that much more unbearable. But at least we got the NPH losing jokes, those were funny. And yeah, that’s the only good side.

Upset me, but didn’t surprise me. It always seems like those who actually have breakout performance in their genre are not recognized very frequently. Lauren Graham anyone? Oh well, we all know who is LEGEN…wait for it…DARY!

My reaction?… WHERE IS KANYE WHEN YOU NEED HIM!! I was pissed; I still am. I don’t get it; Jon Cryer’s performance is a joke, just like that show. Now that the kid is all grown up, the fart jokes are NOT funny!!! NPH shoul’ve won!!!!

I though Jon Cryer layered really well. I also cringed. At his win, and layering.

I threw my scotch at the television and immediately started to write a stern letter addressed to all that voted that began with ‘To dear burglars,’ and was centered around particularly around the phrase ‘what in the hell is wrong with you?!’.

I then went and watched Doctor Horrible and considered writing a fanfiction about Doc Hob’s interruption ringing true and concluding in NPH’s emmy being placed into the right, though paradoxically impossible, hands. It is currently being typed.

NPH deserves much more praise than he gets and missing out on winning is a ridiculous loss.

I was reallllly bummed out. Neil winning the award was the only thing I was looking forward to, other than him hosting the gig itself. So when he lost (especially without Piven in the running this year), I felt he was robbed. Still, with dignity and class, Neil continued to host the show, which, by the way, was the ONLY Emmy show I watched from start to finish, solely on the hosting talents of Neil alone. Bravo, NPH!

Shock and disbelief, pretty much. The fact that NPH was overlooked for that crap show is terrible. As funny as Jon Cryer has the potential to be, he’s not funny on that show. NPH is fantastic on HIMYM.

I thought about throwing my remote at the TV and then went into my kitchen to eat my feelings.

My immediate thought was, “that’s weird john cryer won for best supporting actor in a comedy series, cause two and a half men has never made me laugh.” irony….. Also that NPH is the funniest on TV right now and should have won, hands down.

I was so super bummed! NPH is the bestest!!!

My reaction was something along the line of “…what? how? why? really? JON CRYER?!” NPH’s little bit with the cards after was funnier than anything that’s ever been on 2.5 Men, not to mention everything he’s done with the character of Barney.
