Yeah, on IASIP the voice of reason is usually The Waitress, The Lawyer, or unsuspecting strangers.

Sorta like a British version of Midnight Cowboy, but with more piss and vinegar.

A Sociopath is the forest trail you follow to reach the local community gathering.

I was alerted a couple months ago to the fact that New Disqus sucks deranged donkey dicks but I ignored the warning, and now look at what a chaotic shambles my life has become.

Yes, that kind of coercive advertising is insidious and heinous. I'm positive that I suffer from deep, profound psychological trauma from never having been bought the GI Joe Automated Jungle Station with Helipad and Rocket Defense.

Lobbing turd bombs at you isn't exactly playing with you. Unless, of course, you are enjoying having turd bombs lobbed at you.

The drug "trade" is a manifestation of the hegemony of the Imperialistic US Foreign Trade Practices. My nephew, the pot dealer, told me that.

Restricting pornography or violence during the daytime would be better controlled by the customers themselves, either by them complaining about it or by boycotting those channels. There are plenty of countries which broadcast "adult" content in the evenings and at night and those nations actually have lower rates of…

Awww, nobody else wants to pway wid you.

"There was nothing contrarian, tedious, insufferable, juvenile, obsessive, or unwarranted in my response."

I disagree. In a well constructed sitcom the "straight" guy is us, the audience. For me, comedy works best when there isn't an inevitable, predictable voice of reason preaching to the other wacky characters. That gets so repetitive and plodding and unfunny. I remember how All In The Family had no real central point of…

I have been that "scummy guy" on more than on occasion, but more often than not I didn't realize I was that scummy guy until afterward when she'd inform me of her boyfriend and maybe sometimes of what a dick he'd been to her. I usually didn't seek out those sort of girls, consciously, but there seems to be a scent or…

I was incredulous at how decent and polite and supportive Taye's character was being with Jess, and then when they revealed him in the bed naked I thought, "Well, duh!" Of course he'd assume they brought him home for some hot anger/revenge sex and maybe even for a three way. It's exactly what I would've assumed.

Yes, his character, Winston, is rather one dimensional but Lamorne is capable of much more complex, subtle acting and humor.

Takes you out of the moment? And does that moment also require you to be pantless?

What about The Wire?! Ha! You walked right into that… What? It wasn't sitcom? Get outta here…

Here it is, the most obvious comment of the day: Friends did a similar story line when Chandler's and Ross' old party buddy, Gandolf, calls to tell them he's coming to town, and this news excites the guys to giddy heights. They explain to Joey who Gandolf is, what an amazingly fun guy he is, how with him directing the…

I don't care what you accuse me of, just spell my name correctly, goddammit.

Normally I acquiesce to a fellow commenter's request for recognition of his or her preemptively posted matching comment, but in this instance if you persist with your prickly protestations I shall opt to eat your young.

Your hierarchy is curious admirable* - Booze above all else, and porn nestled between guns and swords.
