Remember how mad people got at the album cover for Amorica? NO PUBIC HAIR EVER!!! I SAID EVER!!!

Born on the Fourth of July too.

My wife is former LDS and she picks up on all kinds of Mormon in-jokes in it.

I work at Penn State in technology as a writer, and there's all sorts of types in STEM from buff dudes (I'm friends with an engineering prof who looks like a linebacker) to the stereotype of an 80s nerd. The joke I have with my co-workers is there are hip TED Talk nerds and "classic nerds" in IT here.

Leonard seems normal. Sheldon is a thinly-veiled parody of Aspergers that borders on mean-spirited at times.

America really accepted nerds during the late 90s Internet bubble when they were becoming billionaires at age 25. However, they were less acceptable when they started evolving into hipsters and hurting poor people in San Francisco. All a big circle.

I admire her for trying to pull off what would have been a pretty solid troll of fans of TBBT, who I imagine wouldn't like a mean-spirited comedy of this type. And I'm one of those who think hate for that particular show is a bit much.

North Dallas 40 is sort of shocking by today's standards. Mac Davis's quarterback character gets mad at Nick Nolte's character for stopping one of his offensive linemen from basically raping one of the female characters.

Yes. One of the things that set it apart was in most nerd movies, the nerds are nice enough guys who are brutally picked on by the mean kids. Napoleon was just an unpleasant, annoying guy. I liked it partially because of it.

Well no wonder it flopped.

Yep. Prior to Mohammed, women were used for things like decoys…dressing them up like soldiers and sending then toward an enemy while the real army attacked from the side. That's how little they were thought of.

I love this response, it's very true.

The owners of the restaurants she reviews see her and start fishing for compliments.

I was in the hospital for kidney stones (including surgery) a year ago and I was surprised how good the food was. But then again I was on lotsa painkillers, so…

Next, this guy tries to deep fry a frozen turkey and his high-pitched maniacal laughter is the soundtrack for a burning attached garage.

Yes and fuck AV Club for including it.

Blur's End of a Century opens with:

Or Blur's End of the Century, which describes ants as filthy little monsters.

Right now these two kids from 1991 are somewhere on Facebook bitching about how awful millennials are, including how much time they waste online and playing games. Back in their day they didn't do that stuff. And what's with the way they dress?
