Well that's nice of them

If nobody cares, why the fuck are you guys upset? The thing Kanye did was funny and interesting which separates it from like every other VMA related thing ever, so it was cool

And then there's hilariously heckling a woman who is incredibly rich and famous and has legions of fans to defend her so it's not like she's the underdog here

I don't know that I'd full on call early Family Guy a Simpsons rip off, just because it's a pretty standard template, but you're crazy if you think cutaways are out of the Simpsons wheelhouse- watch, like, any fourth-sixth season episode, they're full of things like Bart's daydream of giant mechanical ants taking over

The only real reason to wish the show would end, as someone who doesn't watch it, is that the syndicated version keeps having worse and worse odds of being a golden age episode- but that ship has long since sailed, so who gives a shit now

Lynchhog? I love that guy!

Walter Jr is like the one unsullied character capable of speech in the entire show, that seems like a thing

Has Waters ever written a song that wasn't mostly about himself

I thin of PFT's regular characters, Ice T might be my least favorite- though that means he's a like 9 out of 10 instead of a 9.5 (Garry Marshall, Werner Herzog) or a 10 (Andrew Lloyd Weber, Cccccc-cake Boss!)

Ah, my wife to you all, gentlemen

well i'm guessing that there's a lot of overlap between 'comedy i love' and 'comedy that influenced me' for most funny people

Yeah! What kind of snob doesn't enjoy some good old, down home Arab bashing?

I've got nothing against George Lopez, and Seinfeld's still really good at what he does. I don't really know some of these guys- I know I've seen Gabriel Iglesias dvds around, but I don't think I've ever actually heard him, or Terry Fator, or Russell Peters. Buy, yeah, Tosh and Dunham and Larry the Cable guy are

Don't they also describe Minsk as though it's the least accessible place in the world? It's, like, the capital of Belarus, it's a pretty big city. I wonder if they confused Minsk and Murmansk.

J Hoberman is terrific, though I guess he's technically not active any more

Uh, I'm willing to back your right to your opinion here, but that comparison seems pretty off- like, Griffith actually got black people murdered, Mizo just has a weird proto Lars von Trier "women get treated like shit 100% of the time and are not given full agency" thing going on.

Don't be a dick. I don't agree either, but the dude is a serious movie guy and has the right to his opinion.

Yeah, I like that run of Mizo's work, but Ugetsu stands apart for me

It's also more about the creation and recreation of identity in the aftermath of trauma, which is the thematic link between the atrocity footage and the relationship story

yeah, everyone here is so phoney
