Any credit to Howard Kremer for The Goldbergs's episode title phrase? He did a whole album based on that concept, albeit with the word "Summer" spelled "Summah,"

They should have gotten Michael Steele the *Bangles* bass player. She's pretty smart. Sorry, GoGo's.

AC: Alex, I'll take The Great Families Of Newport for $500 million.
AT: That's neither a valid category nor a valid amount.
AC: But it simply must be!

There's pretty much nothing that Wes Anderson has ever filmed that doesn't split people into fans and haters. Very little middle ground.

I took a liberal view of the topic. I feel like I *would* despise it if I saw it.

At the risk of being cleaved in half by a broadsword and/or eaten by a dragon or made to take a naked walk of shame (impossible in my case - I have no shame), I have no intention of ever watching Game Of Thrones.

Syfy (when it was still called The SciFi Network) used to run a web page called "Caption This!" where they would run continuous screen grabs of whatever was on the channel at the time and you would try to write captions for whatever was happening. I spent full days at work on that page and my favorite show to caption

I'm in year 24 of a Strat-o-Matic all-MLB keeper league. I've never won the league, and never even appeared in the World Series. I keep playing because I have nothing better to do all summer, so what the hell? I have Mike Trout and Miggy Cabrera on my team, and still can't break through. I've never had an ace pitcher

"The Potatoes Are Sproutin'"
"Lonely Instrumental With Bleeps and Blorps"

Is he the guy who produced Quantum Leap?

There's also a Zune in there (well, a Zoon, which is a cheap knock-off Zune that explodes on contact with electricity).

Feminist spin: Jessica Johnson or Super Johnson Girl

Favorite Snapchat! Favorite Snapchat couldn't be here tonight, because, well, you know.

"We'll build a wall and get the Germans to pay for it." Worked about as well.

"Beat them senseless" is what I hoped it said.

I should have won for Favorite Middle-aged Married Internet Commenter Who Should Be Working Right Now.

When they did the "who do you look like" bit, I thought for sure that Michaela Watkins would get Andie MacDowell. They have a very similar look.

The swanky poker party ones are the best, because he doesn't speak. His penny-ante Rust Cohle utterances in the other commercials sound like Lee Iaccoca was merged with Nic Pizzolato in a frightening "Boys Of Brazil" experiment.

I am so with you on the MLB AtBat app radio feed commercials. They play the same two or three ads every single inning break and pitching change for the whole game. The BK ads are by far the worst.

This one came to mind from the "Random Roles" for James Brolin. They talked about Capricorn One, and in that film, O.J. Simpson's character told this joke:
