"Ben Affleck is doing a Samuel L. Jackson movie!"

@avclub-6c6094f256f51e83fe02bce6091163e7:disqus , the tight, red, leather outfit is clearly entrapment.

His performance on Arrested Development was good enough to make me think I had maybe misjudged everything else I had ever seen him in — about which, my opinion couldn't be lower.  I had to stop watching Mr. Show after 3 or 4 episodes because I couldn't stand Cross.

Whoops! Replied to the wrong comment.

Roger Clemens played at the University of Texas, which is well known as a pit of eev-yil.

Apparently, when I was a baby in my mother's arms, I met John Denver at the Oklahoma City airport and he bought a cookie for me.

A friend's father had a similar story about Muhammad Ali.  When he was about 20, he got into an elevator with a friend, and there was the champ.  My friend's dad kept whispering, "That's Cassius Clay!" and elbowing his buddy, who was scared shitless because this was right around the time Ali had converted to Islam and…

WTF is a MySpace, lol?

Charlie Murphy Meets the Iron Sheik (learns how to make killer shish-kabobs)

Dave Chappelle meets Wayne Brady?

I saw Brad Garret, of all people, do a perfect Cosby impression during a stand-up set once.  He even got the hand movements and the crouch just right (you know, that thing where Cosby crouches down and wiggles his fingers, like he's flipping through a filing cabinet).

That's true, @avclub-e53fc2424af041d07a7eef5cd8773505:disqus .  Hell, I just watched part of a roast of Don Rickles (c. 1970) on Youtube last night, and Johnny Carson — Mr. Nice Guy, if there ever was one — got huge laughs by saying that Rickles got his start performing in gay bars.  That's the only joke, which would…

How could anyone act calm around James Lipton?  That dude is about as close to Hannibal Lector as any person I've seen in real life.

I'm sure it has to do with Disney decision-making.  It might even be the result of complicated rights ownership.  Maybe Disney doesn't own all the broadcast rights for the movies made during Jim Henson's lifetime?

Muppets would make really good drug mules, so it's not a stretch (!) to think that some would end up in the gulag.

I'd highly recommend The Muppet Movie (1979) and The Great Muppet Caper (1981).  The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) isn't quite as good, so I'd only recommend it if you like the first two.  If you don't like the first two, you might score highly on a psychiatric test for sociopathy.

Clearly a jealous Miss Piggy.

Now it's time for Lew Zealand and his boomerang fish!

I think I've got it: there's a growing shift in the attitudes of straight people (who make up the vast majority of the population) in favor of marriage equality, meaning that, since the majority calls the legislative shots in democratic societies, a change in your favor could be coming soon; but you don't want to hear…
