That is my absolute favorite in her Storm of Euphemisms, oh my god.

How does carrying a wallet in your back pocket make sense?! How do you sit down comfortably??

(the only non-cliched thing about him is he's black)

"Shorter than some musicals."

Not just about shoes! Some of us love purses!

Yeah, I basically said the same thing on the next page—occasionally they'd lampshade it with a clever line as mentioned below, but doing a "women love shoes" episode shortly before a "women are crazy on their period" episode? That's some Chuck Lorre shit. Yeah, I said it.

Honestly, occasionally some of the "women be crazy" jokes made me roll my eyes rather than laugh…but then they'd offset it with dialogue like "That's a bit sexist." "Do you know one woman who's not shoe-mad?" "I only know one woman, and she just left the room shouting 'THE SHOES-AH!'" and I just have to laugh. (I have

Well, he was in The Iceman. Not exactly a blockbuster, but he had a pretty excellent mustache.

"No, I don't want you to buy me a hat, I'm saying that I am a ha—IT'S A METAPHOR, DADDY!"

I feel like this one had a lot of potential, but then just sabotaged itself in so many ways. At several points it really does seem to be a deconstruction of sexist themes—I really enjoy the moment when Jena Malone, I think, says something along the lines of "we're doing the 'helpless/sexy mental patient' thing,

Of course not. Though I'm worried that I'll be sitting in Man of Steel chuckling and waiting for Zod to start berating Superman for LITERALLY being such a goddamn awkward boner.

Hey, @CompanyWhippingBoy:disqus , don't forget the delightful and inexplicably-disappeared Alex.

And the Mia Wallace costume makes another appearance a few seasons later in "Pulp Friction." I assume it was a different actor, however.

It's especially cute when you later learn that she acted all annoyed and unimpressed by his trash-can proposal ("you slammed the box closed and said 'fine'"), but was secretly totally smitten by him and excited. Aw, those two.

I'm not sure if Emily at a drag club is wildly OOC or awesome, but either way, the entire thing is worth it for Michel shaking his thing. And for some reason I love the continuity of the idea that Lorelai runs an inn, but is dismissive and creeped-out by B&Bs, which are similar but vitally different.

You cut me off mid-funk!

Great interaction between Neville and Aaron. “Can you get inside there?” “With this book I can, you dick.”

So basically the writers gave themselves a bunch of fake Tonys for their fake musical(s), beating out (unseen) real actors for fake shows, and then had their character say that live theatre is really the very best medium…on the final episode of their cancelled TV show? The meta is kind of weirdly fascinating to me.

And they only allowed him to sing in THE FINAL EPISODE. Of all the unforgivable things Smash has done, that has to be among my top five worst.

Yeah, I've got to agree too. S3 was appalling (remember when Cathy wanted a baby and those two rando hipsters faked her out for no reason? Remember when Sean was in a "throuple"? Remember when we were treated to that shot that I will NEVER get out of my mind of Adam having backdoor sex with that chick? AUGH WHY), but
