Who invited Bob Dylan to the world's most HIPster Christmas party? And was the invite ironic?

We're adequate!
I love the cheerful elven cry of "we're adequate" at the end of the Elves' XMas Song. Few TV shows have mined the comic possibilities of adequacity, but its paid good dividends for those who have.

Actually, a Marshall/Barney duet DID happen on the first Slapsgiving. After Barney receives the third slap, Marshall sings a song and Barney moans in pain in harmony.

At the risk of missing the point of internet commentary…
…good list.

I think this was explained in an earlier season (to contrast SC from other firms) that the agencies are ultimately selling advertising on commission. So as noted, the billings are revenue, but most of it goes to the media outlets. Sterling Cooper retains a commission on those billings, which is how it makes money. The…

Having an instrument bundle would have helped, sure, but I think that's a case of needing be focused on what you ask of retail. First off, there are heavily discounted bundles of Rock Band games on the market right now which would have undercut any price a Lego bundle could have been offered for. In addition, they…

New Entry Point
I think a key point with LEGO Rock Band is that its not really a sequel so much as a parallel entry point into Rock Band. Yes, a "family friendly" one, but there are worse crimes in this world. I found it far less patronizing than what I've seen so far from Activision's effort at the same market the…

Earthquake chase scenes
NBC actually already did an earthquake chase scene in 10.0. It wasn't as fun as the earthquake was chasing an unsuspecting train. Even if it suspected, what's it going to do? Its a train.

Is this the guy who fired Paul F. Tompkins?
Then he clearly has never watched VH1. I know the hip thing is to love Joel McHale, and I do, but PFT was a welcome presence as well. Its also a natural extension for networks like E!?! and VH1 to have these kind of pop cult commentary shows. The produce so much garbage, it…

This could work.
I mean, it something to focus in on since is a fairly blunt McGuyver parody. They had whole seasons of that, so its not like the source material isn't there. What I'd hope for is a lot of unexplained resurrections, Chris Parnell, and singing transitions between every scene. Pair all of that with Will…

Crunchy Reese Peanut Butter Cups
First off, I am well aware that there is a pretender to this throne that was recently introduced, but it is decidedly NOT the brown wrappered goodness of my childhood. The classic iteration had something closer to crunchy peanut-butter inside with chopped peanut chunks. The current…

A twist I could deal with
Given how fat people are never allowed on TV without apology, I have to assume that the "twist" will somehow involve fat stigmatization. Like, the "Keven James-type" is about to (try to) starve himself thin or it becomes a weight-loss show half-way in. Fat shame for everyone!

I don't get why people rag on the last 15 minutes of AI. I actually think its Spielberg being quite brilliantly subversive in his own right. Because it is an openly transparent happy ending. You know it to be a lie because the movie TELLS you its a lie. It tells you that it is fake and fleeting. It exposes David's…

I suspected Echo's bit was a plant, but I like the idea that we're not sure. It would ultimately fit either way. They've tried playing Ballard before, after all. Likewise, we have three highly credible candidates for the mole and frankly I'd buy everyone short of DeWitt. I was going to include Xopher as a…

"Beautiful" by Belle and Sebastian
I was sitting here being all too-cool for the room because I didn't associate bad memories with songs and thus had no music I can't listen to anymore. Which is true and not, because there is still the matter of "Beautiful" by Belle and Sebastian which I find unbearably sad on its own…

I did not know this about The Shins. That's disappointing. Guy seems to be quite the d-bag.

You don't even know. There are like aight thousend people who would love to look like Linday Lowen. No, too million! tree billion! phive trillion! At least!

Not Steven Gilborn!
I loved him. How did Fametracker never include them in "Hey! Its That Guy" feature. He was the prototypical H!ITG for me. I always enjoyed his performances and I'm frankly stunned to realize he never had a starring role in a sitcom. He was such a perfect performer for the medium. He came closest…

Brekin Meyer in Stoner Jesus
As in, "Eric Neis is Brekin Meyer in Stoner Jesus".

Yeah, but P, if they are strip mining for fictional materials, what arbitrary rules are they disobeying? I assumed it was a mine/quarry of some sort, too. Just because there is nothing to dig up there now doesn't mean that we won't find something to mine for.
