Only song I know by Owl City is that one. My kids always dance to that at the end of Wreck-It-Ralph, and it's a really peppy, fun song.

The only thing distasteful about Subway are the sandwiches.

Mario's origin story.

It's Manny Pacquiao and he's both a boxer and a congressman in the Philippines. That's why the joke is so damn solid.

I believe I will see this doc just to watch this scene. Love Matt Walsh.

It's pronounced "flack-sid."

Jellyfish was a fantastic band that only put out 2 albums, the second of which had its highest-charting single on the Modern Rock chart. I don't think they were going to become "successful" but they really figured out their sound on "Spilt Milk" and could have created some amazing albums down the road. Such a shame.

I saw Fool Moon in SF back in the mid-to-late 90s, and I totally agree on how amazing it was. The guy is a genius physically and performs at an incredible level. Wish I could go back and see that again live.

One of the most unique games I've ever played. It's essentially all "boss battles" but there is a patience and thoughtfulness throughout as opposed to the manic and frantic nature of most games and boss battles, in particular. This write-up is absolutely beautiful, too.

So he liked all music from A to Z?

I had to rewind to see how half-assed they were and the carton of eggs one was fantastic. I missed the gag the first time so I hope others noticed it better than I did initially. The visual gag was better than the actual concert jokes.

I've always known he's a talented actor who seems to take on any role, not seeing himself as too good or whatever for a job. What most impressed me from this interview is what a nice guy he is and how thrilled he is to do what he does. I love this series both for the cool backstory on some roles but more for getting

I still love Cheap Trick. I was 10 when this came out, and my 15-year-old brother bought it. He is big on music theory and can appreciate music on a level that I don't understand. I asked him a year or so ago why Cheap Trick appeals to people who love music, and he explained that their songs are incredibly complex

Totally agree. This might have been my favorite episode. The mom was great, but I think the dad owned this episode, both for his hilarious exaggerations and apologies as well as his heartfelt connection with his son. Grandma became a little more fleshed-out this week, and we got some solid jokes from the younger

Agreed. In fact, I think the point of this whole show (and his autobiography) is that he defines himself by all the things that spoke to him as a kid, which included hip hop. He even talked about that in the first episode voiceover, I seem to recall. Yes, his parents are from Taiwan, but he's from DC, and pop

I actually agree that BB is not his best and actually pretty low down the list, but he has grown in to a fuller character than the one-note joke he seemed to be early on. I liked the episode because it showed how 2 characters I had little faith in on their first appearances (BB and C-Czar) have been fleshed out to

Are you joking me, bro? Bobby Bottleservice is very much an essential part of The Kroll Show and a great character.

I know all lists are subjective, but I'm wondering if the staff even considered Dr. Katz for their list. It laid a path that I imagine many of the listed animated shows followed, and it brought even more possibilities of animation to "evening" (as opposed to morning or afternoon) tv. A damn good show that is too

First, the Parenthood scene is junior high at the minimum and possibly high school, NOT kindergarten. Second, the Groundhog Day planning to make her fall in love with him is never supposed to be romantic - it's supposed to be creepy from the start and the audience knows this. Third, learning Portugese to finally

Just went and listened to "Life Goes On". Ouch - that is a pretty direct rip. I'm sure Captain Sensible said, "Wot?!?" when he heard "Eighties" for the first time. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Thanks for the good info.
