Here's the Nintendo Power issue with Virtual Boy on the cover: http://www.gamingmagz.com/v…

This is the one I remember best: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I don't remember that at all but it's hilariously awful.

Nintendo Power definitely tried to pimp it as hard as they could, but they gave up pretty quick, too. I think they had a Virtual Boy Top 5 (because it only had a handful of games) for a few months.

I was quite a bit older than that. I could definitely see a child being tricked into it, but Nintendo never made any attempt to hide the fact that the colors were only black and red. I mean, I guess Gameboy was always that green color (I never liked Gameboy either, besides Tetris, but I never liked any handheld…

I can't even…

Nick DiPaolo, the stand-up comedian who often appears on Louie, will always be dead to me because of a joke he made about Kurt Cobain shortly after his suicide.

You're not even thinking of the same episode I'm talking about. I was referencing Dancin' Homer from Season 2, where when the family gets to Capital City Tom Jones is singing the theme song and then they see him on a street corner.

I don't think anyone on the planet thought this was a good idea. It should have been killed in its development stage. I don't think I've ever even met anyone who's touched one of these things or even a person who knew another person who did.

It was. I don't know, that event is such a giant moment for me as a human being I always found it way too tasteless.

Yes, because that's nothing like the joke "You know the one with all the rules that mean well that don't work out in real life… Christianity" (I know I botched that).

That's the rare HD episode I really love. The non-HD season 20 episodes are sometimes very good. I particularly like The Burns and the Bees, which has a very silly plot but is hilarious throughout.

This is untrue. "Look, it's Tom Jones!" appears as early as the second season. The the George Harrison joke is every bit as inorganic as the Brittany Spears appearance.

I went through the whole series with the guest star thing - it definitely peaks around Season 13 or so, but the later seasons don't have excessively more guest stars as the early years, do, and about as often during anytime in the series' run the guests are either playing themselves or a new character.

I meant to add that I mistook it for Pranksta Rap, but then I realized Season 13 would be way too early for 50 Cent.

That is the one I was thinking of, btw. I don't know how I mixed him up with Sam McMurray.

Now what was that movie?

It actually kind of came to me the day after I watched it when I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep.

Well, it's a too few words to really take it as much of a reference, but I hear you now.

Er, I made a mistake. I don't particularly hate The Parent Rap (though I've always held a special hatred for Jane Kaczmarek and her character, Judge Constance Harm - I'm totally on board with Homer trying to kill her with a cinderblock). It's not a great episode, but I enjoy it.
