Katy Perry really was surprisingly awesome as Florence.  Have to totally disagree in the extreme with everything else you said, though.

Anyone who doesn't watch MSNBC might not realize the Sharpton sketch was entirely called for.  His blueberry pie reference is a real thing and it's hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I thought @avclub-7d700d04feccf78fb4ce28ac50e1c7f9:disqus was referring to liking Katy Perry.  If not, I recind my "like".

Yeah, they should probably challenge themselves to avoid coming up with any new talk shows for a while.

I totally give you Doggie Duty, I forgot about it and it was the very definition of cringeworthy.  Also, I was drunk on spiced rum egg nog and Ole Smokey moonshine.

"a generally sub-par night for the show, especially since it's been on pretty good form this year"

Wowzers.  I just cast Scott Disick myself above before I scrolled down this far.  I feel honored.

That immediately brings Kim Kardashian to mind, and then Kourtney's baby daddy Scott Disick is so obviously Patrick Bateman.  I would actually watch that if it were possible.

I remember appreciating the lunch scene with the moms.  It has it's moments.

Nailgun. Just the fact that t-shirt exists fills me with a murderous rage.

No?  How about this…DeNiro could run a resort island, where legions of formerly respected actors fly in on a seaplane to fulfill their fantasies.  Some may happen to meet and overcome obstacles to romantic bliss.  A midget assistant would try to help things along, with hilarious and touching results. Eh?

I only wanted to (SPOILERS) take the gun from him and shoot Sandra Oh myself.  And drink the good wine instead of the shit she brought.

I remember her because when I've seen her on Match Game, they put her in Brett Somers' spot and moved Brett down to the bimbo seat next to Richard.  Isn't that bizarre? 

"This is NOT a training bra!"

But they also now have the Honda one with Patrick Warburton asking, "Are you a millionaire? No?  Well then you probably don't buy cars for people as presents." as he rips the enormous red bow off the car and throws it on the ground!

Agreed, I despise the way they suggest that we'll be reduced to blubbering obliged saps for some ugly tacky crap jewelery, but I guess some women are.  See also, single red roses.

I think you mean you were made for loving him, baby, and he was made for loving you.

They do totally need to figure out how to raise overall ticket prices, or perhaps they need to go out of business.  The profit margin is already razor thin. 
 
This breakdown is a year old, and says the profit on a $506.62 cross-country ticket is only $33.45.  (and jet fuel costs have gone up over the past year)

I guess I can stop feeling guilty for ignoring Jimmy Wales pleas for donations everytime I use Wikipedia. 

I can't imagine what a parody would look like.  No matter how over-the-top you tried to be, it would be just like the show.
