hey
This is a really impressive piece, Steve. I look forward to more.

Hmm
That's sad. I dug him.

Alls I can say
is that I hope they do refer to each other as "[X]'s Character", because that'd be awesome.

Lucky Nathan
You're lucky, Cleese seems like a great guy to interview. Plus his voice is fantastic, it tends to be my internal monologue about 50% of the time.

Anime
What do you mean "practically" mainstream? This shit is EVERYWHERE and it's fucking awful with very few exceptions (Cowboy Bebop being one of them although it's still kind of ugly to LOOK at). Ugly, uninspired, and dull artwork with horrifically shitty storylines. Goddamnit, A.V. Club, you had to bring up anime…

nah, like I said, if it WAS fake, it was an uncanny simulation. Either way I think we can agree that Lobsters is a massive fucktard.

Ah. It was an uncanny simulation. Anyhow, Fake Lobsters: You heard me.

This sucks
I always got the impression that he was a pretty good guy. It'll feel weird seeing him in The Dark Knight..

Ugh
Seriously, is it just me or does Mac not even try to hide the fact that they want total control over what media you have access to and how you use it? Seriously, I used to DEFEND Mac, but between their constant revamping/outdating on a near-monthly schedule and shit like this, I think I'll just stick to my PC.

fuck you
asshat.

Off-topic, here
Is there any way to make your search feature weed out the "more posts by this author" section? When I tried to find the rest of these, it linked to basically every article by Phipps.

Endless pools
aren't really that bad of an idea. I can see owning one if you're an avid swimmer but just can't really get a pool. Surely there are things more worthy of your unending hate. I'm just sayin' is all.

colonel: Do you live in Alabama? Because that may have some bearing on that; I mean guess I'd take a KFC bowl over roadkill possum stew.

I will personally perform oral sex on ever member of the AV Club if you can convince Patton to become an official AV Club contributor.

that batdance video
is fucking wierd.

Good ol' Dave
He's funny and he looks like a crazed homeless man. Great combination.

I vote for "My Years and Years of Flops"

What I love about Patton
is that he's seriously not concerned with how cool people think he is, and he knows he's a big dork. This makes him infinitely cooler than David Cross.

David Cross
I agree that Shut Up You Fucking Baby is a fantastic comedy album and that Cross has quite a sharp wit. That said, it's his smug sense of superiority that has pushed me away from him over the years.

does this mean he'll no longer be editing out your unmitigated Irish-bashing?
