The Colbert Report is probably my single favorite television show of this century, but I have not been able to get into him as a straight talk show host. I don't think it's really in his sweet spot, and it's especially glaring after such a great and iconic role.

Samantha Bee's brand of smugwhiteliberalfeminism is something I just cannot tolerate, even if I dislike here a lot less than any of the people mentioned above.

Here's what you do: Upend your entire life for a fucking cat. I'll be back tomorrow. I hope you'll have upended everything by then. For a fucking cat.

He did it all for the noo-oo-oo-dap-oo-dap-oh-for-the-skittlyoo-dap-oo-dap-oooooooooooooooo-kie.

One of the small joys in having children, in my experience, has been letting them do things that scare the shit out of my mother and mother-in-law.

Oh god, the part at the beginning of Vertical Limit when their dad falls to his death and, for no reason whatsoever, they pan to the ground so you can see his body go THUMP…

Oceans 13. I can only assume the filmmakers decided, "Well, Oceans 12 was self-indulgent and stupid, how can we make things better? I know, a movie where everyone sits around and talks and bores the living shit out of the audience."

Do you guys want Antz?

Ah, Demolition Man. The movie that led to Dennis Rodman's hair being a pop culture thing for five years.

So, uh, can anyone explain the part about the 19th century nuclear war?

I gave up on this show after Carrie couldn't just let Brody get hung in peace, but this season sounds like SUCH an unmitigated trainwreck that I think I'm going to have to watch it.

I can't believe this Case For Christ movie is getting positive press. I read the book it's based on in college and it… didn't have the intended effect. I was kind of, sort of Christian at that point and wanted to see a rational case made. This was supposed to be THE intellectual source of that, I was told at least.

And the anchorperson on TV
Goes La de da de da de-dadedade-da
La de da de da de-dadedade-da

I feel like "ICE To Meet You" has a different connotation these days.

I hope they're sincerely revealing the true Rick here. I've always thought Rick suffers from Scrubs Janitor problem - it's artificial and cynical to try to make the audience feel sympathy for a character five minutes after he leaves JD to die in a water tank or leaves his grandkids on a strange planet or whatever.

I really like how this episode put the lie to the end of last season. Rick is a terrible person, and humanizing him always feels artificial to me. I hope this season fully embraces the monster instead of trying to manipulate me into sympathizing with the monster.

No mention of the brilliant little bit of acting when Paige discovers the Lifestyles box in Mrs. Pastor's nightstand?

"Mother, the video is giving me impure thoughts again."

I was wondering where my out-of-proportion hatred for a person I don't know would go when Antonin Scalia died, but Sean Hannity has filled the void for me.

I believe this story.
