The Gosbot Phenomenon: Pre-Coffee Ramblings of a Woman on the Edge

I have a feeling we are coming close to Gosling meltdown. The internet can’t hold any more pics and info about him. It is going to split at the seams!

Yesterday morning around 6.30am, I started having the strangest conversation with David Harper  (‘A Slice of Fried Gold’) about his blog post Ryan Gosling = King of the World. I must add this conversation took place before I had coffee. I can’t be held responsible for my ramblings pre-coffee.

Thanks to David for keeping me entertained

I think men everywhere need to be scared. You are close to extinction. I don’t think I know one woman that doesn’t fancy Ryan Gosling and think ‘father of my babies’ at the same time. Soon we will only need Gosling (and possibly some clones) to keep the human race going

Ha! I don’t disagree. It’s like the comic “Y the Last Man,” except the rest of are still here, just obsolete. I don’t blame you though. I’d be cool with him being my hetero life mate/best friend. I MIGHT be overshadowed by him, however.

Actually, someone else wrote that very soon the world will get to ‘Gosling saturation point’. He is everywhere like some kind of bacteria right now! He is also *too* perfect. ‘Gosbot’ (my nickname for him) will malfunction live on TV or in a NYC street in the very near future.

I feel like he’s too smart for that though. He previously got pretty close to that point after The Notebook, but then he hid for a while, did some renowned indies, didn’t act for a bit, and then BAM. 2011. BAM. Superhero.

He’s already laid the groundwork by saying he’s going to quit acting to make babies. Whether or not that’s with the whole of humanity is the only uncertain part. “Gosbot” though is amazing. Him being a cyborg of some sort would make a scary amount of sense…

This is turning into a conversation, but you are awake so “discuss” :p

This whole thing, ‘The Gosbot Phenomenon’ (have I just coined another phrase?) could be a movie about why both women and men seem to love him (sometimes inexplicably). Or they could make one called ‘Being Ryan Gosling’ and include all the clones so they have a chance to be ‘real human beings’ and do a real job after impregnating all of us.

There is a supreme alien race ‘high fiving’ on a distant planet. Implanting Gosbot was their best idea yet! I can see this turning into a blog of it’s own. We should write it! X

I could totally see this becoming a blog, or a Tumblr page of some variety. The whole “Gosbot Phenomenon” (which I enjoy by the way) I think was preceded to a certain degree by JT Fever, in which men and women equally enjoyed Justin Timberlake after the release of FutureSex/LoveSounds and his incredibly awesome performances as a host of Saturday Night Live.

Unlike JT though, I can’t imagine Gosling owning it. He sort of seems like a guy who just wants to go to Whole Foods, get his whole grain bagels, and do his own thing.

Could you imagine a reality show following Ryan Gosling around? It’s ratings wouldn’t be represented by a number, it would just say “humanity” next to it.

But yes, our alien overlords are definitely pleased by how swimmingly the Gosbot infiltration has played out. It’s going so well, and we willingly relent to his benevolent rule!

This is becoming deep, and I have only been awake for about an hour, and I haven’t had coffee yet! The JT thing never really captured me. He was too manufactured to ever be in the same league as Gosbot.

I never even thought of JT until you mentioned him. He was getting there but I think outside of the whole music thing, the guy is pretty dull. He was like the first prototype for Gosbot that never really took off.

They were both Mouseketeer’s? Or whatever Disney drivel they used to be in…

slicefriedgold

They were! Gos even lived with JT and his family during filming! Oh my god, is it possible that they were manufactured in the same line?! Gosbot is clearly version 2.0.
/mind blown

Get some coffee!

lostlifefound

No! Don’t trample on my dreams! He can’t be manufactured. He has got to be this real. I could have been that British lady he saved in NYC. I am British and I was in NY late last year hoping that I would drop my shopping and suddenly [he would] appear from out of nowhere and say “Hey girl, Let me get that for you” and I wouldn’t be able to speak. I would just watch as my ovaries fell out and rolled into the road along with my apples :/

Gosbot saving a Brit is as close as I will ever get to living that dream!

slicefriedgold

Haha! That is amazing. I hope you get your chance to be saved by him. If you ever see him in public, make sure to immediately put yourself into a role that can only be described as “damsel in distress.”

Checkmate Gosbot. Checkmate.
