I was gonna say a goth version of that Madame puppet from the 70s…

Sounds like somebody just discovered the Rogue POTUS Staff twitter! (And hasn't yet realized it's embarrassingly fake.)

When did they start, 2:30!?

Is there any other original source for the "Trump hates the Spicer sketch because he's played by a woman" rumor than the Rogue POTUS Staff account? I can't find anyone else saying it before that tweet, and for a while it was attributed to that account, but now it's become an accepted quote-unquote fact and is just

Spicer's reaction to being asked for a comment on this development is hilarious (in the "laugh to keep from crying / shrieking / jumping out a window" sense):

I love how Mrs. Blossom has NO CHILL: "Hey, how's it going?" "How do you think!? My son is DEAD!!!" [immediately slaps the shit out of Mrs. Cooper, is dragged away shrieking]

"We need a couple personality traits for the gay friend."
"You mean beyond Gay and Friend?"
"Hmm, good point. Moving on!"

Theory: Ethel is the ghost of a teenager who apparently sometime in the early 50s.

Wes Anderson presents: Jacob's Ladder

[466 words into the article] "…P.J. Hogan’s 2003 film Peter Pan."

This is exciting news, even if I can't quite shake the suspicion that the story as it's been presented to us ("Remember those silly little sketches I posted that were unrelated to any actual film? Turns out they want me to make it for real!") isn't exactly what happened behind the scenes.

I know this is the Internet and I'm supposed to treat with utter contempt any depiction of attractive young people having fun, but I always really liked that video and its rollicking Christmas shindig.

Did the first appearance of "one-dimensional female character from a male-driven comedy” make more sense? Because I didn't really understand it tonight.

I was distracted by the big piece of lint in his hair, which isn't really his fault, but I was surprised that nobody gestured to him about it from off-camera during Cecily Strong's bit.

I think that's part of the reason that, for a pretty embarrassingly long amount of time, I didn't realize that Mother 3 and Homestuck were two different things.

"Guilty as it makes me to admit it, the best comedy in a day full of them was a total crowd-pleaser…"

While it’s not clear what prompted this unique alliance…

Honestly, that's how they should do every show: an initial mini-season that can work as a single standalone narrative or as a "pilot" if it catches on.

The first time I watched this, I was sure that the final twist would be that the nightclub sequences were sad figments of Sally's imagination, and were the product of her desperate loneliness and need to impress Michael York's character.

Oh you. I knew you couldn't stay away.
