In my daily life, as I travel through Los Angeles, I wonder who the fuck are these illiterate weirdos that write our network TV shows. Is it that guy talking to himself at the coffee shop? That kid pushing his stuffed animal in a stroller through Trader Joe's? They're here. I know they're here. They should have to

Hah hah I am funny joke man.

If it's been gestating so long, it's probably be Silent but Deadly.

Audience of John Stamos

But then the kid has to be shocked that her father is a drug dealer.

How can that Stamos show be unnamed when they use the perfect name in the very next sentence? I, for one, will be tuning in to "Charismatic Longtime Bachelor" every week.

I think we're doing good work here. Anyone else find a prostitution subtext in other beloved children's lit?

Macarthur Parker, his agent?

This is pretty much what happens to your brain when you read the same damn stories to your kids night after night. I'm convinced that The Man with the Yellow Hat is a gigolo, since nearly every story involves a visit with one of his many older rich lady friends.

I think Ron looks just like Ron Leibman, the actor who voices him (and who is also Mr. Jessica Walter, I believe).

Especially since it's Latin for "sword sheath" because… cue unsubtle stock footage signifying intercourse.

Also, there are at least two times where a

THEY WERE WRONG! WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG! SO FUCKING WRONG!

In answer to your question: much better, thank you.

See my comment below. You just described The Skeleton Twins.

I do, too. It's actually a great satire about the American be-first-or-be-last mentality. I like the absurd detail that being the number one Proust scholar in America means the fanciest car and the best-looking boyfriend, while being only the second-best Proust scholar means suicidal depression.

This article needs to address The Skeleton Twins and how everything that is awful in the universe was condensed into indie-movie form to create that thing.

"Socratize the Fundament" is the greatest euphemism I've seen today. And honestly, guys, I see a lot of euphemisms.

I've told this cool story before, but I actually saw Paul Sorvino at the grocery store once picking out a head of garlic. I said nothing. It's my biggest regret in life.

What kind of movie does he take the Cybil Shepherd character to?

This is was truly a trenchant insight.
