    I'm pretty sure it being a character is the reason he took the role.  If he seems to have some self-awareness about his public persona, maybe people will think he's working on it.  Hell, maybe he is, but this is all about perception, not reality.

    Trejo played her character's uncle in the Spy Kids movies.  His name? Uncle Machete.

    Good point!  I didn't even think of Ann.

    STEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRNNNNNN!

    Oh good, I'm not having a stroke.  Or possibly the three of us are all having the same stroke simultaneously. Or maybe McFarland just needs to have someone look over his reviews before he posts them.

    Last week, I started to notice that this show was really good at positioning gags right before commercial breaks, and this week seemed to follow through on that- I don't know why I've started to fixate on this, but I have.

    Haven't we been through this before?  The cultural norms and decreased statistical likelihood of rape with the roles reversed means that, whether we want them to happen or not, rape jokes are going to happen, and we need to sit there and take them like a man.

    Yes, but the above screencap shows that there's also an unhealthy dose of "ha ha, lift those dumbbells, fatty!  Pretend they're 80 quarter-pounders and that when you're done you get to eat them!"

    Also, if those fruits and vegetables were able to hit the pleasure centers of the brain half as hard as fat, sugar, and salt.  You can market apples all you want, I'm not going to forget that Snickers bars exist.

    Okay, that show does not exist and I already want to watch it.

    Maybe it's just because I know Michael Schur is involved, but I'm getting a real Parks & Rec vibe from the character dynamics of this show.  There's no real 1:1 matches, but it's like they took the major character traits and relationships from Parks & Rec and remixed them.

    "Boy, that escalated quickly.  I mean, that really got out of hand fast."
    "Yeah, it jumped up a notch."
    "It did, didn't it?"
    "Yeah, I shot a guy in the head."
    "Yeah, I saw that.  Jesse killed a guy."
    "Did you shoot a gun?"
    "Yeah, Mr. White was at the lab, they were going to kill him, and I shot Gale with a gun."
    "Jesse, I've

    It's canon in all our hearts…

    Oh, I didn't realize she'd misread the show in a completely different way than I thought she did.  Carry on.

    @avclub-0b96d81f0494fde5428c7aea243c9157:disqus see, I can't get behind the idea that "aesthetic" (in the non-aural sense) or "image/appearance" have any business being discussed as part of a musical genre.  If you want to talk about that stuff, go to a fashion blog.
    And the only forging of identity related to punk

    What?  That's crazy.  You've ranked the original trilogy correctly, but there's no way Phantom Menace is better than any of them, much less all of them.

    If you're wearing the fedora with a T-shirt, it's okay to keep it on inside.

    I know that my carefully-curated collections of Scrubs DVDs and the essays of David Foster Wallace create an irresistible erotic magnetism, especially when combined with the aroma of the hiking gear I last used two months ago and then just left out without cleaning it.
