I lived with a Choad once. His name was Chad, but I nicknamed him Choad and that's what people call him to this day.

Everyone on the AV Club knows the sexiest scene is when Annette O'Toole sells Empire Strikes Back wax packs to a bunch of Cub Scouts.

So…you want the mother or the daughter?

I remember that movie because when it was released, they were so hard up they were giving away free soundtrack cassettes to anyone who showed up.

Shit. I always thought in my Lifetime biopic, my dad would be played by John Heard, Michael McKean, or maybe Harrison Ford.

Ah, Family Circus never fails. I remember one from when I was younger…Billy was running to Mommy with a drawing. The caption:

It wouldn't even matter if you're a citizen; if you suck enough and there are enough people willing to pay money to have you permanently kicked out of the country…well, hard cheese. Get packing.

I like how his character tends to stand too close to people.

I don't hate vanilla, but anyone who goes to an ice cream parlor and orders a plain vanilla cone deserves to get some shit for it.

It's Pooter meat! With a taste that's oddly familiar!

There's some chicken joint on the west side of Chicago called Mother Clucker's.
