Mating habits? AV Club commenter? I assume one hand is heavily involved.

That's literally what I did when reading it. "Tesco Vee? Who's tha… ohhhhhh, the guy in this article."
Agreed on the wedging in pop culture references only to sound hip or get applause. Forced relevancy and presumed cleverness. It's like a modern day SNL sketch in song form.
He was absolutely the best guest yet, and will be hard to top. And that is saying a lot considering they've had both Paul F. Tompkins and Harris Wittels as guests.
"It'd be weirder if he DID schedule that."
I love that explanation for his delivery on the show. His flat, shoutiness is hysterical. Then when they started checking out their levels:
"Guys, it's a little late to be checking out mic levels. It's almost two hours into this."
"That's how fucking boring this music is."
Can we just acknowledge that the eclectic collection songs on Scott's iPod/iPhone's are like the playlist of a serial killer? Not that mine is any better or less stupid.
It was a perfect storm of silliness. Between the song choices, Todd's eagerness, Adam's giddy amusement, and the frequent "his" and "he" pronouns, it was absolutely the peak of this show's inanity.
"There's nothing about your house that is not crazy."
The Cheers theme was my breaking point. For the rest of the songs, the anticipation had me squealing like a baby doing the fucking peek-a-boo game.
That opening from Computer Wore Tennis Shoes is fantastic! The graphics are hypnotizing and that song is the deliciously batshit kind of song written by middle aged men trying to ape what the hip kids are listening to today.
God, this brought rushing back to me all the bad music at the tail end of the 90s. After the huge but brief tidal wave of grunge dissipated, we were left with all the trash and driftwood sinking in its wake. Fucking Live, Bush, and Silverchair.
I kept noticing them the whole episode cause the woman was wearing a green striped shirt. She went through ticketing when they were haggling about Disneyland (then a second after that was behind them in line), and was in other scenes too, like a green Where's Waldo. They must have used a really small pool of extras…
Main Street was probably hardest for them. After a bit, they were rerouting everyone entering behind the buildings and through Tomorrowland. I heard from friends that it was a clusterfuck in Epcot when filming the Paris dinner, too. The rest of the locations either seem easier to segregate, like Gaston's, or were…
Ninjago, please
No, that is a Disney hotel. It's the new Grand Floridian DVC (Disney Vacation Club) property, only open a few months. The Hecks' looks like one of the larger family suites, possibly even a concierge or "presidential" type of one.
My wife and I were at Magic Kingdom when they were filming and watched
the scene being filmed where Sue collapses at Main Street, and also the
picture with Mickey Mouse that was in the credits. They did an
excellent job of editing out all the gawkers (like me) who jammed the
sidewalks despite the poor cast members…
If it was Modern Family, that would have been the ending.
Yeah, these sort of episodes usually have a way of feeling like a weird alien version of the show. They did a fairly good job of keeping it within their reality while of course having to be a travelogue as well.
You may not enjoy this week's "Hot Dog" episode then. Bad (but funny) impressions of Nick Nolte and Gene SImmons abound. The Nolte in particular highlights what the WHM crew does best: if the impression itself is not top notch, the call-backs and repetition help sell it. Same as with their Louie Anderson from the…
