When most people think of Cribs, they think of over-the-top McMansions and some washed-up celeb uttering the six words every viewer loves to hear: "This is where the magic happens." And as much as we love icky mental pics of C-listers gettin' it on with their wifies, we've decided to give a shoutout to our OTHER favorite Cribs staples, namely:
+ An unnecessary number of automobiles. Are you a race car driver? Do you run your own garbage hauling business out of your vehicle? Got an overabundance of pine tree air fresheners or seven illegitimate kids? Even if the answer to any of those is "yes," that still doesn't explain why any semi-normal person needs more than three cars per family unit. Especially when you have your own driver.
+ An abnormally clean (and well-stocked) fridge. We don't care how famous you are -- NO one (with the possible exception of Martha Stewart and 7-Eleven) keeps their refrigerator spotless and fully loaded at all times. No one. C'mon, where's the salad-in-a-bag you bought six months ago and left to rot in the back of the veggie drawer? Hmmm??? (Eighteen neatly stacked rows of Vitamin Waters, Gatorades and Diet Snapple iced teas? Now, you're just embarrassing yourself.)
+ A minimum of fifteen people mooching off you at all times. Sure, you live in a 16-bedroom mansion. But that doesn't seem so big when you consider that your grandma, your baby mama, her three other kids and your four best friends from high school live there, too. (Note: this TOTALLY explains the car thing!) Oh, and btw those random peeps playing Nintendo Wii in your living room? You've never seen them before in your life. Hey, isn't being semi-famous fun??
** Did we forget anything? (Infinity pools, private movie theaters, ugly-but-expensive artwork, a tv playing your own music video?) Tell us your favorite Cribs stereotype in the comments! **
