That difference being Ben Stein's preference of the simile over the metaphor. But when you've got a point that fundamentally solid and eloquently articulated, it's really quibbling over which poetic technique you use to express it.

I like to think of you as someone who responds to "Does a Bear shit in the woods? Is the pope catholic?" with "yes" and "what's up?" with the sky; answering both unironically.

Man this looks like a piece of sit.

What happens when there's only 3 dollars left on the CW Budget for new shows.

"Damn, I thought that was Van Der Beek"

"I'll drive across the country to see fIREHOSE"
- Guy who only exists in the mind of the members of fIREHOSE

Only in appearance and voice; in actuality, he's more like a manila folder containing a bunch of bat shit insane articles printed out from the internet that say global warming is fake and dinosaurs didn't exist.

Well following that logic, Ben Stein's lawsuit would also be part of God's plan, and the undeserved money he plans on getting, also part of God's plan. Great thing about God's plan is that the next page reveals itself right after you do whatever you felt like doing in the first place

I think Icarly included the reference because they realized there's a possibility that an adult with discriminating tastes might end up obligated to watch it (because of a kid) and decided to reward them.

That bitter response is a clear straw man. No one is arguing that people should listen to a bunch of auto-tuned cynically-chosen-and-marketed female singers instead of Adele. The frustration is that Adele is so staggeringly popular when there are arguably (and it is arguable for both sides) plenty of more talented,…

Following that logic, Tracy Jordan would have made the exact same mistake (homophobic comments) twice; once in the real world, once on the show. I know he's comically dense, but even Tracy Jordan wouldn't want to go through the torture of apologies, speeches, and hate mail twice.

That exact attitude made me furious 6 years ago, and I thought "well he'll go away forever soon enough" and here he is, still kicking with a smug face and whimsical lyrics. I'd say he's like glitter or herpes, but in actuality is probably more like twinkies (feels like it lasts forever, so you think it will last…

Well most people who take the time to dig deep to look for the best music out there, have the technological savvy to download their music illegally. It depends on who you consider good of course, but I imagine that TV on the Radio has a much greater percentage of their fan base download their album illegally than…

I fail to understand how the amazing race always remains an awards darling for the reality show category for every major awards show. It's tediously boring (with way too much time spent on air travel delay), poorly cast, and doesn't spend enough time on any location to provide much interest as a travelogue. the latest…

Because I didn't get the reference to the sketch from the state (and I have a pathological need to understand every obscure joke ever), I foolishly googled "im gonna go kill the president the state".

I never said it was an offer; I simply stated that 2 dollars would be a bad value for this movie, as the experience of watching it is probably akin to more of a chore/task,  and not something you'd pay for. In a perfect world they SHOULD give you 8 bucks back. (8 bucks seems a fair asking price, as it probably comes…

Kirk Cameron, that is exactly what I was implying.

It just doesn't seem like there's enough people nostalgic enough for this piece of crap (what, are there 11 people out there?) to merit its production.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl gets my vote. Its usage drives me up the wall. Just because a female character is energetic doesn't make her a MPDG, and it just feels like a lazy shorthand for actually criticizing the characterization in a movie to me.

I can't wait for his winking cameo as some older police officer character only for the entire audience to collectively blink in unawareness at who Steve Gutenberg is.
