Yeah, I can't dismiss "Rose Bowl" entirely because "some men like their bitches crazy" gets an absurd amount of usage in the doolo household.

My boyfriend's family in ND actually does that for Christmas, when the weather is "nice" enough. Though their definition of nice varies wildly from most people's.

When he's ready for them…
Possibly my favorite part of "Stocks" is the scene where Jimmy appears not to notice Matthew crawling by barefoot, only to have him a few seconds later ask Bill if he plans on giving Matthew his shoes back.

What if I panic and start screaming obscenities?
"Then I'll just explain to everyone that my girlfriend Lisa couldn't make it and you're just a whore I picked up at the airport."

That's the thing that really gets me about "Daydream". Not only are those things shown as unattainable, but they are very simple too. In the case of Dave, Joe, and Lisa it seems that they more or less are daydreaming about respect (in Howie's case, too) and all Catherine wants is a little diversity. Take away the

Seems like I read somewhere (heard in a commentary?) that Dave's love of Green Acres is based on Foley's real-life admiration of the show.

I'd have to go with (a) because some of them were pretty funny, but others seemed a little self-indulgent. The ones in the latter category that jump immediately to mind are the ones with guest stars, like the one with Ben Stiller at the end of "The Trainer" and Chuck D at the end of "Rap."

You think you're so pretty and all the boys want to dance with you!
I love the jokes about Lisa's insecurities, and though the dress bit is a little self-referential at first, the payoff never fails to crack me up.

Jimmy's acting
Is this the first we've seen of the running gag about Mr. James being a terribly uncomfortable actor? I love that joke…

Also on that list, Val Kilmer. I remember having to pause that thing (ah, VHS) for ten minutes just to stop laughing enough to finish watching the episode.

KITH
"Pretty much every member of The Kids In The Hall belongs on this list, since they've all shown more versatility and imagination in their comedy sketches than they've displayed in the smattering of bit parts they've taken outside KITH."

Oh, there was a reason for Krycek's hatred of Mulder. The words "deeply repressed lust" spring immediately to mind.

Pumpkin
One of my favorite things on NewsRadio has always been Jimmy calling Dave "pumpkin." It only happened a few times (a couple on "Bitch Session" and again in the poker episode), but it always nearly had me paralysed with laughter.

The second one is, if I remember correctly and I probably don't, supposed to be "Mr. Banana Hammock." That actually seems pretty tame, though, so I don't really know why they dubbed it.

"Great! I'm trying out for the drama club!" is surprisingly useful as a response when people tell me their plans.
