Am I the only one who saw "Rock Center with Brian Williams" and thought, "Wow, they're finally giving Brian Williams his own comedy show? Fuck yes!" Because I would watch the shit out of that.

If it's Alison Brie handling my…..you know what,I'm going to stop there. Best leave it to the imagination.

Mark Bellhorn shouldn't be talking shit about baserunning.

If I may play Devil's advocate, I think he means "recent" as in "made recently," i.e., in this new wave of 3-D and not its original heyday in the 1950s.

I haven't seen it in years either, but I feel pretty confident with this synopsis:

I said car. Singular. Even with all the work Sandler's given him over the years, Peter Dante can still only afford one car—a 1997 Geo.

I love me some Grandma's Boy. But we'll both be dead in the cold, cold ground before I see this.

The guy you're referring to is Peter Dante. He has literally made his entire career doing bit parts in Adam Sandler/Happy Madison movies. Essentially,he's proof that Sandler takes car of his friends.

It was a joke. Of course hip-hop should be about more than pussy and wordplay, and it often is. It's just as varied as any other genre.

If you need more than that, maybe you shouldn't listen to hip-hop.

As a counter-point, Andrew "Dice" Clay was 95. I don't care how popular the guy was, putting him ahead of Louis CK is inexcusable. At least he beat Gallagher, though.

Um, he's clearly number 98. Comedy Central's crack team is never wrong about something like that.

When I first saw the headline, I thought this article was going to be about Mike Myers finally being brought to justice for Love Guru. Actually reading the story disappointed me on so many levels.

I just spent a fair amount of my summer covering Little League baseball, and the experience converted me. I agree that ESPN overhypes it because of their contract to air it (just like they did when they started airing NASCAR). And the "purity" argument reeks of conservative "good 'ol days" bullshit to me.

I think "No soup for you" is one of those rare catch-phrases that managed to survive its ubiquity and backlash. Sure, everyone got sick of it by 1996. But after it took a few years to die down, you can probably reference it in a conversation about soup and actually get a laugh. See also "that's what she said" and

Al-Qaeda understands that having Larry the Cable Guy alive is more torturous to the rest of America than killing him. And I'm pretty sure sending them a tape of his act violates the Geneva Convention.
