They're just trying to get as far away from his forehead as possible.

Pete Campbell totally fell for the coffee bit, which was a great, subtle visual touch.

Don insisted he take the skis knowing it would take longer so he could spend more time boning his wife.

That "Hair, bottled" comment apparently cut pretty deep.

I'm going to assume this is an Arrested Decision type mash up and not separate posts, which is actually a pretty funny idea for a Tumblr.

Yeah I was pretty shocked such a heavily produced band sounded that good on SNL in what at least appeared to be a backing-track-free performance. And they have an excellent drummer.

Ham and Pizza Loan definitely had a Kids in the Hall feel to them.

I finally realized one of the big things that bothers me about Modern Family. It's a multi-camera laugh track sit com masquerading as a single camera. When they embrace the wackiness and comical misunderstandings, I actually like it a lot more (as a show that doesn't earn taking itself so seriously). The constant

I'm gonna be overly serious and probably elicit a lot of "lighten up" and "get off your soap box" response, but I really, really, really hate laughing-at-the-mentally-ill-homeless humor. It's fucking awful, mean-spirited, dehumanizing, and mocking down the power chain.

Oh that was the absolute worst, and at that point you're actually fucking with the integrity of the show, because zooming in on something implies significance, and in that case there was none but the amazing features on the blah blah blah.

I think she's really into Halloween? So she's got that going for her 1/365 days of the year. It's a shame because I think she's a good actress, but this is how Rashida Jones constantly gets casted: the girl who's only identity is being a down-to-earth girlfriend.

It'd be a nightmare if you had Voice Activated TV.

So presumably Chris and Ann aren't compatible because Chris has countless interests and Ann has established exactly zero in five seasons?

"Shut the door."

Yeah, there's zero context clues for him ever being competent and well-liked, and the fact that no one seemed surprised by his behavior from the first episode indicates just the opposite. It's not like there were any talking heads going, "Is it just me or has David Brent gone completely insane since you lot showed up?

The Office is actually making me forget, Ed Helms was amazingly funny on The Daily Show, right? I remember being very excited when it was announced he'd be joining Carell on the show. Six seasons and two Hangover sequels later…

Pam: "Brain, has Jim changed?"
Brian: "Yeah, but only in the past season after being extremely content and uninteresting, which seems really abrupt and unmotivated. Sure creates a lot of finale-building dramatic tension, though."

Yeahhh, there's a reason reality shows take place in a mansion or on an island. They need to keep everyone confined to a given location where they can sign away their right to privacy.

Andy's beyond fixing. I think it's a pretty good example to be taught in tv writing classes of how you can't keep trying new angles on characters when you haven't figured them out or have them fill all these different plot/relationship needs. You only get so many chances to make someone compelling until they have too

Not to mention the number of times the show used the device of having characters turn off their mics from 5 feet away and losing all audio.
