Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products…

It's my favorite line in the Sermon on the Mount.

Hootus and the Blowfishus

The VanderWerffening

It's always annoying when a character announces a famous person playing themselves in a movie. Even more so when they're doing it to be "ironic". Of all the things you can say against the Austin Powers movies, one of the worst moments was when he broke the fourth wall to introduce Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello. …

It might have been more interesting if they tried to find people to judge the episodes who had never watched either show, or were at least not diehard watchers. Of course, on a site like this that would be a near impossible task to find writers here who were not viewers of some of these shows. As Todd said above,…

Yeah, but it was on Help! that George discovered the sitar, which eventually lead to Within You Without You and other greats, so all is forgiven.

Yeah, he said that the week after this, cause he said a lot of people were mentioning how crazy it sounded on various boards.

Werner Herzog, House of Pie's Benny Schwazz, and Hot Saucerman's version
is almost as good at the original:

Lock the gates.

Bamboozled was an interesting concept, but fell apart in execution. The tone of the performances was all over the place, from Damon Wayans' stilted "white" sounding exec, all the way to Michael Rappaort's stitled "Michael Rappaport" sounding character.

Yeah, that's infuriating.

As both a music theatre and rock opera / concept album fan, I agree that transitioning rock to stage doesn't work. However, the exception that proves the rule for me is Hedwig and the Angry Inch. IMHO it works well as a theatrical piece, but also as stand alone rock songs. And all the points you correctly made…

When I fist started reading the site, I quickly would scan the byline and his name would blur and read as "Phyllis". So to this day I still imagine his reviews being read in the voice of Phyllis from The Office. It takes the edge off the smarm just a tad.

"That song was pretty white…"

And more filling.

Happiness. *shudder* Just thinking about that movie gives me the creeps, and I don't get disturbed easily.

Pimm's Cup in a Pimp Cup

Watching the performance of this song at the Tony Awards always fascinated me. I imagined what must have been going through the head of the poor schmuck who was singing the "Faggot American" line (which they kept in and sang live, by the way, but CBS bleeped it.) Here he was, at the pinnacle of Broadway, finally…

And that was a welcome jump because things had gotten so convoluted and
disjointed, even by True Blood's (low) standards. It was a good chance
to just hit the reset button … which of course they immediately
squandered because it wouldn't be True Blood without way too many
useless characters and overcomplicated…
