Okay, this episode (along with the Apt 23 episode "Original Bitch") confirms it: Nahnatchka Khan watched way too much The Grind as a kid.

Yea, I think being freed from Eddie Huang (and the idea that this is coming from his memoir) has given the show the freedom to take off into more surreal territory. That's fantastic, too, because the show is definitely better for it.

Like, Korean-Korean.

The lie started at some open mics, then passed at the Comedy Store, and then went in to be one some very successful podcasts.

Interesting bit of misdirection with the initial voiceover. I guess they'll find a way to work without it, but no way they could go without at least some of it during the season premier.

Yea, Die Young would have been a smash hit if the timing wasn't so terrible. Kinda hard to play that song on the radio when the biggest story in the news is the Newtown shooting.

Dude, Spank Rock is actually the one in the lineup that had the most cred, as he's really well-respected among the indie hip-hop heads. Really, his opening act was a bunch of backpackers standing really close to the stage and being really into his stuff and then disappearing before LMFAO could come out and throw a 12'

One of the best concerts I ever attended was Ke$ha, with LMFAO and Spank Rock opening. Just a few hours of joyous ridiculousness. I sincerely hope that this gets resolved because she deserves to keep making music.

I think the problem is that they cast the wrong kid to be Eddie. Dude has what can charitably be called a limited range. I could imagine Eddie Huang thinking that even if they were gonna make it a family show, they could give his character Bart Simpson style plotlines and jokes. I mean, hell, Nahnatchka Khan created

I loved how it seemed like the ship was scanning the guy yelling at Summer, only for it to turn out to be dicing him. Just a fantastic little half-second turn-around.

Not that everyone has to do what everyone else does, but a lot of people don't even have the tools required to do it if they wanted to.

It's weird to think that there are kids out there who don't know that you use Impact to put text on memes. Like, they don't even have the ability to fire up a graphics program and make a meme on their own. They have to use the automatic generators.

Exactly. Something Awful was where all this started. Hell, the old name for memes, "image macros", was specifically for the way Something Awful let people call certain images with macros on their board (something that SA quickly stopped because everyone was an idiot and only replied with macros).

Seriously, that was an almost perfect shout-out there.

Love this song, love the album. Honestly, though, my favorite track (after a brief love affair with "Werewolf Gimmick") is "Choked Out". It's just a perfect piece of poetry tucked into super-high-energy burst of song. It's like "See America Right" and his Extra Lengs song "How I Left the Ministry" had a baby and it

It's kind of hard to take "crime-ridden streets of New York" seriously in 2015. Hell, if Matt Murdock is 30 in this show, that means he was 9 years old when the Giuliani era began in New York.

This video was pulled by UMG hours ago. A little bit late with the news post.
