Petty's so great when dueting.  His song with Johnny Cash on one of the American albums is great too.  The Heartbreakers should do an entire album with a second singer, or a series of them.

I agree that AT is usually stranger and more surprising.  I dunno about funnier.  When Regular Show is clicking it can be REALLY funny, and Adventure Time is often content to just be weird and not all that funny.  Which isn't really a criticism, just an observation.

When they do this kind of thing well (which they often don't, but did here) it's not about the danger to the characters, which of course is never particularly dangerous-seeming.  It's about a steady stream of ridiculous jokes and action movie cliches played for laughs.  This episode nailed it for me - and I was…

That's not incredibly surprising if you think about it.  Carrey's movies were grossing millions with ease and cost nothing to make; no wonder he could command that kind of money at the time.

Does anyone else remember when it was a big fucking deal that somebody (probably Harrison
Ford) cracked the $20 million barrier for a single picture?  That seems laughably quaint now.  I imagine that even DJ Qualls gets ten mil for appearing in some shitty direct-to-Blu-Ray Larry the Cable Guy vehicle nowadays.

You were takin' too long to get back to me!

I've tirelessly combed the reviews and found that while Lt. Buttocks really kicked off the craze (that was only present throughout season 9 - which is crazy, I could have sworn we did that for years and years!), the first guy to do it was TooMuchTime in "The Yada Yada."  No one used it in the following week.  It…

Can you confirm who actually created that meme?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Lindelof (and Drew Goddard too) was only hired to re-write the ending after they scrapped an already-filmed climax. Talk about a no-win situation: "Hey guys, we have already spent all the money and filmed a complete movie. Write us up a bullshit replacement ending that will cost nothing and that we can shoot in a…

I'm just happy I've been off the Futurama train ever since the first two disappointing movies they made.  I can pretend this doesn't exist and be happy.

The entire internet disagrees with you, Wrongy McWrongerson.

Call me a giant pussy if you must, but the "Scrubs" episode where Dr. Cox's brother-in-law (Brendan Frasier) dies… that one got me.  The way they do the twist is upsetting because it feels so relatable that he'd be that hard in denial, and then John McGinley sells the emotion of it 1000% with his semi-stoic,…

I should've scrolled down.  I just posted about that one - such a sweet, touching episode. It's not "sad" in the same way as "Jurassic Bark," but it's the very definition of bittersweet. I mean, Fry reconciles with his brother only after he's hundreds of years dead? Good lord, I'm getting teary just thinking about…

Anyone else get just as sad at "Luck of the Fryrish"?  Both of those episodes kill me.

@avclub-7d3010c11d08cf990b7614d2c2ca9098:disqus  That's just a deflection.  That racism exists everywhere is not a good argument for ignoring or not talking about the more open, widespread, and persistent variety that exists in large swaths of the South even today.

Pretty distressing to hear that about Athens, since I'm moving there (and my wife will be teaching there) pretty soon.  My impression of the town for the few days we visited was a good one.  Hopefully the crowd that would frequent a place like sharculese describes is a small percentage of the town and campus.

I never felt like that part of MST was much of a selling point.  So very many of those jokes amounted to "Hey, that small-time nobody of an actor looks sort of like some other small-time nobody of an actor."  During the Joel era in particular, there was basically no joke (not even funny wording) other than the…

Not just you - I always found the skits boring compared to the features.

I definitely prefer Mike.  Joel's sleepy delivery never did much for me and the additional sarcasm of the Mike era (without ever devolving into pure negativity or ranting, which is important to make the show still work) was welcome.

FUCK YOU, THE ANSWER IS MIKE!
