It always comes back to the Simpsons with this place.

Very well said.  ::: golf claps:::

I was definitely braced for mediocrity, but this review bumped my interest a few points.  If two guys from Mad TV can do fresh and original sketch comedy, though, I may have to reevaluate many of my preconceptions.

@avclub-70f6dcc28ef8fc282b0c969e75d9bdfc:disqus , it's my impression that people tend to hate Tyler Perry for both of those reasons.

I think that GOP candidates, like most people, do not think very hard about music.  It's not just that they neglect to analyze lyrics beyond those quoted in the title (or the chorus, if you're lucky) to gauge the appropriateness of a song for a given moment or message.  They can't even be bothered to think of…

@avclub-0b96d81f0494fde5428c7aea243c9157:disqus , I think you're suffering from a lack of imagination.  Criticizing a woman for objectifying herself is not the same as objectifying her.

Some people can only express opinions about women in terms of sexism.  It's kind of pathetic, actually.

Is this a rectangle or a square?

I periodically worry about Brian Dunkleman and his career, on those occasions when I'm reminded of his existence.  He seems like a nice guy.

Is it weird if I think that thing on the cover looks pretty tasty?

What about the female contestants?  Surely they didn't taste any of that.

I'd agree that she isn't very good.  But she is good enough to be writing songs and making records that can be judged on the same basis as other professionals.

It's like theater in many ways.  A great performance can transcend the original.

Maybe you should have a seat over there…?

If the AV Club wants to end the Dawes meme, does this mean we need to double down on the Dawes?

Positively Pythonesque, O'Neal.

Deep cuts right there.

I can appreciate their weirdness more when I'm not forced to watch actual humans.

I have boundaries for a reason!  I feel safe in them!

Pussae?
