Wow. THAT was snotty.

Idiotking! A fellow Kael-hater! High-five!

It's pretty much 'Reservoir Dogs' as a western. A bunch of people trapped in one room, many of whom are obviously not who they say they are. Lots of fun. Hopefully he'll reconsider.

No, no. You have fun on the internet, now.

Uh-huh.

'Barry,' huh?

When reading this I remembered a Mitchell & Webb sketch. I wonder why…?

I didn't even like Kevin Hart back when he was called Chris Tucker.

Paul F. Tompkins has said that 'Bob's Burgers' has the funnest table reads in TV. With all that talent around the table, I believe him.
