Hospital rooms have televisions…

A cable network owning, distributing and selling comedy is in no way a "paradigm shift" just because they happened to select the same number to charge a few comedians did a few times. Maybe you can use that ten dollar word to buy a couple comedy specials, though.

Yeah he seems like the only person in this list of names from this episode (aside from Jane Lynch) who would actually bring the improv chops to parlor games. It's weird watching Short on talk shows because you realize he's of that dying breed of celebrity who treat every interview/public appearance like a performance…

Off topic still: Where the shit is a Sharknado review?

I'm similarly a big fan, but I think the real equivalent is in podcasts where you have comedians will well-defined personalities and the room to let it breathe even in some thinly-veiled game or conceit. Now if you took something like Doug Loves Movies or Improv for Humans to tv, you'd have a better American…

@bcfred:disqus The shit you're wrong about are his options drying up. His options have expanded, that's factually wrong, like the nonsense you spouted about Wikileaks just dumping informant names out of a sense of the public's need to know. You're wrong so just own it instead of deflecting. Just once, own how…

"I had the same issue with the episode of Nathan For You that I watched. Just couldn't fully trust that what was being presented as real actually was."

@PaulKinsey:disqus "If the system isn't working and things need to be brought to light, then there's plenty of legitimate ways to protest and push for changes without dumping thousands of pages of state secrets onto the web indiscriminately."

@PaulKinsey:disqus No, because it wasn't personal, you can't just say it and make it so. No one, not the politicians and diplomats themselves, are making this case. They were making major diplomatic arrangements, whether you think they were scandalous or not. This isn't something up for debate.

@PaulKinsey:disqus "And no, it's not actually a given that anyone who gets elected or appointed to a government position immediately loses all expectation of privacy for the public good."

@PaulKinsey:disqus First off, they're state department cables, not "personal" emails. Why don't you bother learning the basic facts surrounding this thing you take such patriotic umbrage over?

@bcfred:disqus He has three countries offering asylum, one after the U.S. helpfully alienated Bolivia by having its president's plane grounded. You ever get tired of being wrong about shit?

@avclub-792b765aa995daf26cf6f17f519c949d:disqus So I guess we'll just have to never ever do anything to piss the least evil off, lest they unleash their wrath of relative fury on us and we'd have to seek refuge in a *shudder* badder country and forever loose credibility in the eyes of some internet commenter.

@bcfred:disqus I know everyone loves saying this talking point, but it's simply not true and you're just parroting Pentagon propaganda. Assange and Wikileaks vet their documents and actually made a request to the Department of Defense to help redact any potentially sensitive information, which was promptly denied on…

@avclub-792b765aa995daf26cf6f17f519c949d:disqus How about the one responsible for the imprisonment of a journalist abroad through clandestine kangaroo courts for reporting on their drone program? Do you live in that one?

@avclub-4c37107b9dedb73b90f677930bf7728b:disqus Exactly, somehow the self-contradicting ad hominems don't seem to bother them. Just as the leaks A) Didn't reveal anything important and *snort* you were surprised? (So why were they classified?), they also B) Did incalculable damage to the U.S. Anything and everything…

Oh God yes, Carlin in Jersey Girl was unbelievable. That moment he talks about being afraid of dying alone was like a punch in the gut and all I could think walking out of the theater was why didn't we get to watch that movie instead of that bullshit pablum about a 7 year old preferring Jersey to the city?

Good thing none of us have to make compromises in living under a government whose policies we don't support. Just out of curiosity, @avclub-792b765aa995daf26cf6f17f519c949d:disqus , where do you live and what atrocities can I hold you personally accountable for?

There will never be a whistleblower, or any dissident of American imperialism for that matter, who won't be knee jerk labeled with naiveté (and idealism though I'm less sure how that's a pejorative). It doesn't seem to matter that Snowden managed to deliberately get the Booz Allen job to get the last set of files he…

Really? What didn't you like about it, out of curiosity?
