I like imagining you speaking in a Dan Harmon dubbed voice when you say that.

Yeah. Joel McHale.

So the guy's zipping up. The girl in front of him lit up a cigarette indoors. Which is only continuity if you tie it to Greendale's lack of smoke detectors.

It might be an easter egg if he had a subplot like Abed delivering the baby.

Yeah. It would be news if the guy was getting an episode or replacing Troy or something.

Being Seth McFarlane doesn't guarantee a hit. It's just five years worth of cancellation insurance for your flops plus sex with a randomly selected genre actress under age 29.

I think he's saying that most people are as bad as Dan Harmon but in the ways that their job tolerates, not the way Dan Harmon's job tolerates. No better, just different bad habits based on what they can get away with. And that attempts to jump Harmon have more to do with crucifying him for having different bad habits…

I could actually see Harmon's escapades involving a prostitute. But it would probably be something like hiring her to go to a Greek diner for an hour and talk about the sexualization of women in popular culture and the women he's dated.

I really want this as a sketch the next time Jon Hamm hosts SNL.

I really, really wish I could work for him. The instability sounds exhilarating.

I suspect it's incredibly psychologically revealing when I read all this and think, "Damn. I wish I had a boss like Harmon."

Read his Superman comic where Superman dumps the hooker because he's scared of killing her via sex.

"Some of the show's writers insisted they'd depart if Harmon remained for season four."

Why is too fargone to recreate that dynamic? I figure S5 will be a whole new show anyway.

Trying to predict the most Harmonesque response to this.

I could be wrong but at a certain point, didn't they start deliberately giving Goodman weird facial hair even when he didn't need it?

I want to see an arc on SVU where he's right. I mean, geez, some of the crimes they investigate (such as the one where the judge was tricked into committing rape in public, on a stage) are as bad as anything Munch could dream up.

"You might as well be telling me that bread could come prepackaged in some form, smaller than a loaf. This sliced bread idea of yours is a load of applesauce, kiddo. You may think there'd be nothing greater but I'm telling you, grocery shoppers will never buy it. And if they did, the next great thing would come along…

Since these debates ultimately turn into "You would have preferred Donner's version?" directed at anyone who doesn't feel Man of Steel, here's my ideal take:

He might but he'd follow it up with, "… That's not a deliberate pun. I am not a pleasant person to be around if my steaks are not prepared properly. The stakes are indeed quite high for those around me."
