At the end of the video, YouTube recommends a bunch of other Kirk Cameron-related videos, most of which seem to be other people laying the smack on Kirk for publicly being OK with the existence of Halloween. (Actual video title: "Halloween and Kirk Cameron's Dangerous Compromises.") Sounds like he stirred up a bit of

Sean was a year ahead of me in high school, too, and he and I agree on a lot too pop-culture-wise, it would seem.

I wish I could say I were this guy. I'm just a friend of a friend who wonders when the hell he sleeps.

Oh my God, I'm actually a HUGE fan of this guy and every single band he's in.

I actually don't think I've ever enjoyed Heidecker much until I heard his appearances on CBB. There's something about the flow of that show that works for his looseness, or something.

There was a moment in the Weird Al interview when Marc was asking about his parents' death, and Al said something like, "uh, so, we're really going there, huh?" Which made me wonder if Al had known what he was getting himself into.

Yes, definitely listen to the Norm MacDonald episode. It's my absolute favorite. I've listened to it probably 10 times, and I think I've actually gotten a lot out of it. Is it weird to say that Norm MacDonald might have taught me something about how to frame my own spirituality? It certainly FEELS weird to say that.

A while ago I was on YouTube and saw an interview done at the Broad Street premiere with Paul and Linda. They had collaborated on so many projects up to this point that it made perfect sense for the interviewer to ask Linda, "And did you have a hand in the film too?" Before he can even finish Linda is like "NO NO NO,"

Tomorrow Never Knows, with its lyrics about powerlessness and surrendering to the void, works just to tie the theme back to the powerlessness of Don and Pete. I thought of Pete's maudlin conversation with Harry as it was playing. Plus, duh, it's awesome.

George could be a colossal douche. Has there ever been a more smug song than "Piggies"?

Zeppomarxist, I do the same thing with "Sleigh Ride," and my favorite
thing is the Snowman's singing voice. I love Fozzie's mom, but I think I
love the Snowman even more.

Yes yes yes! This never stops being funny. Bert's delivery is spot on.

I have the soda-maker and adore it. We consume so much seltzer in our house that I'm sure it's already paid for itself many times over. Sadly the soda syrups are, in fact, kind of disgusting.

RIGHT ON. When I was a little kid, the Muppets were so real to me that I completely bought the story of Charles Grodin falling in love with Miss Piggy as a normal thing adults might do— fall in love with Muppets. Only much later did I appreciate how incredibly funny Grodin is playing the love triangle plot so straight.

ARGH HEINOUS NO NEW IDEAS RAPING MY CHILDHOOD etc etc.

I sympathize with the excitement Nathan describes when the show debuted. And also the paralyzing disappointment when it descended into horribleness. Mr. Isthmus and I couldn't even enjoy it ironically or campily or whatever, because we didn't really want to think of Sorkin that way. So we just got depressed. And then

I once hosted a lesbian vampire party. We watched The Blood-Spattered Bride, then Daughters of Darkness, then Vampiros Lesbos. No one had the energy for Vampyres, which was the last one we had on hand (everyone was kind of drunk at this point) but I watched it the next morning and it was a nice one to go out on, the

Agree with everything, even the bit about Vampyres (even though Daughters is better, Vampyres would be a good silly addition to this marathon). I think Edgar Wright and I have the same taste in horror.

The Muppets might never have gone in the body humor direction as much, but the puns on the Muppet Show lead me to believe that they weren't above cheap gags.
