Never understood the hate for that album. Last night on Earth, If God…, Mofo, Please, and the sheer brilliance of Discotheque and Gone. I'm going to listen to it right now, man. I was only 12 when it came out and I still remember walking to school with that cassette in my hand, which my uncle had recorded for me from…

This made me feel the oldest I've ever felt.

Damn, did I miss the irony?

I can't believe you actually believe bullshit like this you just wrote.

I am sorry, man. That's a bad memory you have over there. Wise to respect them. They can be pricks at times, though. But that's what we all naturally are after all.

Also, BoJack is pretty recent and Robert Redford did all the talking.

I like horses as much as the next guy, but I tend to be distrustful of whatever overweights me by the hundreds of pounds and can literally squash my bones with a kick.

In Catania (Sicily), and only there on the island, to be honest, horse meat is the actually the city's food specialty, either in steak or meatballs. They'd serve it everywhere, they sell it in food trucks and there's a whole neighbourhood in which equine meat stores turn into open-air BBQ stalls every damn night and…

I think being spoilered on the Disqus website, not even via the actual spoiler page, makes me the saddest jerk of the whole internet.

Ok, cool.

I wouldn't have thought of it as offensive. Just wildly inaccurate, as most portraits of Italian life generally are (Under the Tuscan Sun, anyone?).

Let's make things clear: the one in the picture is a "new" Vespa, which is culturally irrelevant as far as boasting Italianness is concerned. Now, if you told me Ansari spends an entire episode learning how to dismantle and rebuild an older (pre-electric ignition, < ca. 1989) PX model, well, then I'd be all "I'm…

Can anyone - native Italians preferred - please confirm that Season 2 of Master of None is culturally acceptable for Italians? Will we be submerged by an avalanche of stereotypical blob?

This is… not good? I guess, I am sorry?

That's… that's incredible, genuinely unheard-of information! Do you perhaps have the Internet?!

It's a satirical show. This guy's lucky enough he gets paid to say what he wants. He doesn't have to be anything: he doesn't have to be transphobic as well as he doesn't have to be progressive-minded. He doesn't have to always share our view of the world just because we wish he did.

That's so absolutely true. That's handbook material. The changes in rhythm! That part when they arrive at Hart's show:

Folks, we shouldn't look to comedians waiting for them to tell us what to think. He made you react to a provocation on a certain topic; by disagreeing you are reformulating your opinion on it, perhaps reaffirming it, perhaps changing it. This is satire, simple as that.

On "Actually, Mr. Hart, we haven't eaten for several hours" I couldn't hold it anymore, my wife had to check on me as I started hitting the table and bursted into LOUD laughter way past midnight.

I found it lovely. So Carver-ish. The "trap" joke has a number of profound references to routine and normality.
