Also what the hell is hard R ultraviolent gorefest Robocop doing in there. OF COURSE it would fuck a kid up. Why not throw in Jason and Freddy too then.

He openly made fun of trans people, then tried to cover his shady ass by saying woke people weren’t funny (John Oliver, Steven Colbert, Seth Meyers, Trever Noah and Smantha Bee would all like a word) and trans people have his permission to exist as long as he can make fun of them without anyone pointing out his humor…

Have you ever looked at the rates of murder and violence against trans people? Now make a joke about it. Now tell me how much perspective I should have about it.

One of those communities is routinely murdered. God forbid John Cleese gets some backlash on Twitter.

They were similarly ambivalent when Graham Chapman came out to them. Their initial reactions were mixed (a lot of “well, can you not be gay, maybe?”) which is not really that surprising considering a non-trivial amount of their humor revolves around gay stereotypes.

Jeez, between him and Terry Gilliam, I wish the Monty Python crew would just shut the fuck up about trans people. (Gilliam was saying some similar wacky shit last year about how he identifies as a black woman.) I grew up memorizing Python routines and Brazil is one of my favorite movies and it sucks to see your idols…

Well, supposedly in its day Rocky and Bullwinkle was audacious and irreverent. Watch it now, and it’s just kinda cute. You have to remember that when Animaniacs debuted, it was kind of a revelation. Obviously, The Simpsons was in its prime in 1993, so it’s not like “smart cartoon show” itself was a totally…

Glad to see Gumball mentioned. One of the best animated shows of the decade (visually interesting in every regard and constantly funny to boot).

The comments in the prior Animaniacs article inspired me to go check out the Chicken Boo shorts. It’s so stupid and hilarious.

My expectations are merely that the show be good. 

Exactly. This is a show that just wants to be a fun space western, and I reckon it does a pretty damn good job at it. It’s not trying to be The Wire But Star Wars, more a Wanted Dead or Alive But With Cute Baby Alien and that's okay. 

Not all shows need giant story arcs that take forever to see payoff. 

Not every show need everything to be deeply connected from episode to episode. Not having greater ambitions isn’t a show problem. Your putting some sort of expectations on the show and that is not the shows fault.

I was utterly shocked by the horrible tone deafness of the “joke” of Baby Yoda eating the eggs.  It was disgusting and horrifying. 

Apples don’t break down the worms that are in apples and make more apple stuff out of it, figs do break down the dead fig wasps and make more fig stuff out of them.  By the time the fruit is ripe, there will be no trace of the wasp.

I include bone and blood meal in my garden and it occurred to me this year that my vegetables are not technically vegetarian!

If we’re excluding “plants which breakdown dead animals, or animal waste, in order to derive their nutrients” because “eww” then we’re basically going to have to stop eating plants. “This fruit eat wasps” is probably less disturbing than “we sow the fields with chicken and cow poop (i.e. manure)”.

You know, I used to feel the same way about Superdawg’s for a while, but I paid close attention the last few times we went, and dog itself is really good. It’s unusual that I get eventually swayed in the opposite direction like that, especially all these years later.

So many business do this: cut costs to the point where they end up hurting themselves. After which, they have painted themselves into a corner and can no longer justify the capital increase to fix the problem.
