Oh please, we all know the pun is the nadir of humor.
(Does that not count 'cause it's an actual word and I used it correctly?)

This is going to be a very weird episode to watch because my French professor suddenly died this week, in real life…and I knew him about as well as the study group knew Starburns, and just  based on that clip they're reacting about the same way my friends did.
Hmph.

I wonder if it's easier for sci-fi…with "The Office," say, part of the reason it no longer works is because there's a limit to how much excitement can be mined from the same situation. With something involving, y'know, aliens and time travel, there's a heck of a lot more that can happen, and a heck of a lot more ways…

DW is also an interesting combination of radically changing something every once in a while (its lead actor) while being incredibly indebted to its past (what with the continual reappearances of the Daleks and Cybermen and other such things). I wonder, also, if one couldn't look at specific Doctors' eras as examples…

I'm a teenager AND an adult. Beat that.
I dunno, it's fun to watch with other people as long as you can talk through the dumb parts.

I liked the use of Ann, which isn't something I get to say very often…
April is becoming A Positive Voice a bit too often, though. I like when she admits she cares about stuff, but she's done it at least twice in the past three episodes.

At least NBC puts their stuff up online the day after it airs. So one can still consume Community/Parks and Rec/30 Rock legally.

Buster-style "Hey, brother" followed by a Troy-and-Abed handshake has become my ideal way to greet people.

So it was. And here I thought I was clever…

Is this the apparently-obligatory Buster quote-thread?
'Cause…"Unlimited juice? This party is going to be off the hook!"
"I don't want no part of your tight-ass country club, you freak bitch!"
"Obviously this blue part is the land…"

Anyone else catch that Donald Glover-as-Tracy's shirt was for a "Blatholic" Church?

I mean, I loved it and all, and it was brilliant, but…it was kinda beautiful brilliant rather than hilarious brilliant, tonight, for me. But then again, Leslie trying to make a brick wall of people believe in her (or any smart person unable to rise above a sea of dumb people) always gets the ol' heartstrings.

What about books? (Yeah, I know it wasn't in the question.) P. G. Wodehouse is a GOD at this. Also Anne of Green Gables (or any classic children's stuff). Or A Room With a View…or anything by Jane Austen…but mostly Wodehouse, yeah.

I dunno if I'd say I've studied him "in-depth," but based on what research I have done, contemporary critics definitely thought that, say, Trollope (whom everybody should go read, 'cause he rocks) was far better at realistic, layered protagonists. But Dickens wasn't any worse than, say, Wilkie Collins, as far as I can…

Read Our Mutual Friend! And not just because everyone should read Our Mutual Friend, but because Bella Wilfer is an actual flawed, strong, sympathetic female character. I was shocked.

I'm loving the continuation of the "Liz gets turned on by Mythbusters" theme from a few episodes ago…
Also, "When did gum get so soft, you sons of bitches?"

The moment I knew I loved her story was in Galentine's Day, when she's with her two gay boyfriends, and they're making fun of Andy, and she says something like, "God, why do we always have to look at everything so ironically!" Because I think (as someone who is at about that same phase in my life, or a bit earlier,…

One puppy…born in the fields of Iowa…who ran every day through the yellow stalks, hoping, dreaming…until one day…he bit a piece of radioactive maize…and became…CORN DOG.

There is a Splash Mountain movie! Splash Mountain is based on the movie! And the movie is possibly/probably/definitely perceived by some people as racist…so…that would probably not be the wisest movie on Disney's part.

I always think it's unfair to compare Community and Arrested Development, because it seems like they are/were trying to do such different things. Yeah, they both have lengthy joke-set-ups and dense plotting and hilarious character interactions among an amazing ensemble, but those are just Things That Make A Good…
