The one time we're all looking forward to what the Sandler gimmick account has to say, and we get this?!  And it gets likes?!  (Finally pulls trigger.)

You might want to rethink that, Craig.  If he'd "happened," meaning he turned into a box office star, would he have taken roles like Alan Partridge or Tommy Saxondale?  I much prefer Steve Coogan to be a shibboleth of sorts… where you can tell the comedy nerds from the self-professed comedy nerds by whether they know…

I don't know… Lenny and Carl don't seem that bright.

But stupid movies need the most love!

That picture looks like Dan Aykroyd had to think of the food judge that would destroy the world…

Portnoy is the main reason I'll never eat liver.

They all have their own hands, but they come from different moms.

The "High School High" reference brought about that Lovitz line.  I'm sure of it.
