Gene Simmons looks like Peggy Noonan cosplaying as Kim Hunter in Planet of the Apes.

Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god particle, you say yes.

Mark Gatiss is just appearing in it, not writing it.

Et tu, R2-D2?

I'm not saying that carrying around an empty Snapple bottle to urinate in is going to be the most popular solution, but there will be a lot of attendees offering Zack Snyder some peach tea.

Until this moment I never knew that the job title I always wanted - and which is now almost certainly forever out of my reach - was Wizard World COO.

They finally found something that guns can't protect them from - numbers.

Even then, the specific thing she's pointing out is that 'I'd vote for Warren' isn't really relevant if she's not running for president. They might not be sexist, there's plenty of reasons to not vote for Clinton in the primary, but that doesn't prove it.

Depends. What's the other two?

Sorry, I wasn't meaning 'not a joke' in the sense of it being anti-humour but in the sense that the sentiment of it becoming increasingly tiresome wasn't just there to be a joke. Mind you, he had other reasons beyond professional ennui.

I can't believe that's not an Alan Parker, Urban Warrior joke.

Counterpoint: Any asshole can get a laugh by making a joke. It takes a real comedian to deliberately not make a joke and get the laugh anyway.
