Godwin forbade us to ever, EVER compare anything to Nazis, no matter how many characteristics the subject in question mimics that fucked ideology; totalitarianism is probably a better descriptor, but a mouthful: 'Fascist' rolls right off the tongue when used to denounce one's authoritarian enemy- especially with

John Oliver is doing Howard Beale's "mad as hell" shtick from 40 years ago, but with more jokes, yet much less on avenues to actually affect change, even if it is just "Write your congressperson!"

Mostly not racist, as is not even close to the levels of open racism of Boston and other parts of MA. Despite being the whitest state, Maine did have a strong abolitionist movement (see Harriet Beecher Stowe). But there is a phenomenon in New England of old racist uncles with their cracker ass racist jokes. But

I trip-sat for an 18 year old first timer on shrooms who had no conception of what tripping entailed; he was a 40oz and weed wannabe homie. I suggested he listened to some music:
"What like Eminem?"
"[patiently] …No, not like Eminem."
(Also, your no-shuffle while tripping is a hard-won lesson; a great PSA.)

Or as Shaq put it in the roast of Bieber RE Snoop's recent musical offerings: "Snoop made a reggae album: if you're a rap fan you may not have it. But if you're a reggae fan I know you don't fucking have it."

No, white as fuck Maine as in the whitest, most Anglo state in the nation. It took some doing for hip-hop to breach our gates. So props (?) to Snoop Dogg.

7th grade camping field trip, in white as fuck Maine, on the road back, our bus breaks down and we are stranded until another bus comes to pick us up Left to our devises, one intrepid camper pulls out his CD player and speakers (a rarity at the time) and plays this new album "Doggystyle"

The amount of people rushing to dick-ride censorship, corporate culture and Dave's hack shtick… wow. But actually not surprising.

I didn't say "major" or "big" sponsor, but sponsored in part. And is it so unbelievable that in America, artistic vision be censored by marketing and advertising? As to abortion, that debate should have been settled with Roe v. Wade, yet due to corporate culture determining what messages do and don't get on the air,

Some things shouldn't be given a pass: inviting Bill Hicks's mom on 15 years too late to explain why the David Letterman show censored his bit without also admitting that they were being sponsored in part by anti-choice groups isn't really an apology at all.

(Gonna post this before I read through 812 comments to see if anyone mentioned it first)

Ha, I got that game as a hand-me-down from my older siblings, but by the time I got it, the instruction booklet was missing. The versions of the rules my friends and I made up on the spot were almost certainly more fun.

Personally, I like Cowboy Bebop's approach:

And no eggs!

I had a mixed feeling upon seeing the wheelchair bound ferret breeding neighbor, "Where do I know that guy?" but not bothering to IMDB it, and then realizing it was Horace from Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. It's times like these that I think maybe my brainpower isn't being properly utilized.

This line was cut from the new FXX syndication version. WTF FXX!

Fucking christ AV Club, could you not fill a paragraph about the motherly virtues of Katlyn Stark without delving into the books and revealing some major spoilers??? Yes, you gave a shite spoiler alert that didn't signify whether said spoiler was about the books or, what I assumed, since it wasn't explicit, a spoiler

I feel like the ghost of Bill Hicks was with Greg Giraldo that episode, channeling the "See, this is what happens when you take on someone who actually knows what the fuck they are talking about instead of stealing other people's bits and ideas and barely concealing them with your own shitty brand while trying to play

I'm gonna go a little old school and give props to the River City Ransom soundtrack. Also, Maximum Carnage that was made by Green Jelly.

Severely underrated hilarious movie.
