His character IS "guy trying to act" though.

He seems like a real person trying too hard to be funny, rather than a character writers are trying too hard to make funny, so I can get behind that. I know lots of people like Foggy in real life. They are annoying as shit but this is a spot on representation of an annoying as shit person.

Honestly, even among Mr Show fans, that probably went over most people's heads. Most people in America have no idea who Jimmy Savile is, like a fraction of 1% but there's enough overlap between that fraction of 1% (mostly people who illegally download Charlie Brooker specials) and Mr Show fans to make that reference…

"This comedy sketch didn't actively call out White people. Is it okay to find it funny?"

I don't think she was ever on the show so she couldn't "reprise" her role. It was played by Tress MacNeille even when Stritch was alive.

They went to New York once to find Bart's ex-girlfriend played by Zooey Dayshanelelele.

Depends on how you count Japanese.

You're basically using neocon to mean the opposite of what it means. It's run of the mill bumpkin conservatives who hate Muslims. Neocons are Ivy League and University of Chicago educated ideologues, people who have put real thought into their ideology, who essentially believe in the universality of The Enlightenment…

Funny this came up in a thread about Phillip K. Dick.

Well the book itself doesn't jibe well with Dick's other druggy work. So it makes sense the TV show would follow suit.

While I don't think they would have cared much about Africans at first, you got to remember all the national liberation movements that arose in the 60s. They would be fighting the Nazis instead of the British, French, and Portuguese. That alone would give the Nazis a reason to depopulate Africa.

This comment is extremely accurate.

The Max series is also bad but it's slightly more engaging. It's basically just Howard the Duck walking through a bunch of parodies of different 90s comics (Witchblade, Sandman, a couple others I can't remember). Like I said, it's not very good, it's actually kind of lazy and has no real plot. It's mildly fun to…

Morrison's Batman run is different from the rest of Morrison in that it doesn't feel like a single narrative piece. I guess that makes sense though, he mostly works in limited series and Batman is DC's number 1 ongoing. Basically everything before Batman RIP is just place setting for what he actually wants to do later.

My favorite recent deaths where Thor in Fear Itself and Doctor Doom during Hickman's Fantastic Four run. Marvel literally didn't even try to get the press to cover them, like they normally do in these situations.

Omega Men already got cancelled. They originally announced it wouldn't go past issue 6. Now they're allowing it to go to issue 12 at least.

Looks good. I like my Bat Family stuff outlandish and cartoon-y, rather than that grim "Law and Order but some people are dressed as clowns" bullshit.

I hope I'm wrong but I think the decision to make The Grasshopper Lies Heavy a film reel instead of a book is a mistake. You're telegraphing right from the start that there are alternate universes, as opposed to just hinting at it at the end as was the case in Dick's original novel. It really takes away any tension to…

They seemed more upset by the fact CNN wasn't covering Lebanon than they did by the fact that ISIS killed 50 people in Lebanon.

A mostly White country was attacked. Can we blame it on them drawing a cartoon? No? Fuck. Let's just change the subject and complain about lack of media coverage of Lebanon.
