So, um, I read Ebert's review to say that he thought as a whole the timing and level of craziness was at a perfect tone. For him.

Holocaust humor at its current rate (very very rare) is gold. Hopefully it's not overdone, where we start seeing it on every According to Jim knockoff… (Though a show like that suddenly making a Holocaust joke now would be, well, hilarious!)

I wonder if Friday Night Lights is an example of nearly falling into that trap, but managing to avoid it. The first season was fantastic, and critically acclaimed. And even though still good, the second season and its crazy murder/rape plot was a stretch - though other plot lines remained high. Could have seen them…

I think the 3D is a given.

Your mom's a haor.

Or: Buy a second Blackberry.

Other voiceovers?
They should have a couple versions of this ad, all with different voiceovers. Next one should be Elin Woods, screaming at him in her crazy Swedish accent. Then maybe another one with one of those porn stars crying with Gloria Alred…

Maybe the red meat was tainted with mad cow disease, and he just saved her life. I tell ya, the producers on those shows can edit even a life-saving turn like that into a scene of douchebaggery….

That was Julie Bowen in Happy Gilmore?? Well I'll be….

Gallup still does those as their employment exams online. I also failed that one (and that was post-college when I actually should have gotten the job!). But luckily I just failed the second of two personality tests!

This one time…
So when I was 15, I applied for a job at the local chain supermarket. It was a long personality test type of application, a few pages long, with questions like, "Is it OK to let your friends steal food?" (answer: No. Or was it Yes? I can't remember.)

Waaaayyyy late, but I couldn't let this one slide:

Ditto on The Hills, Mr. Misconception. I have never seen an episode, but I get the hilariously insufferable parts from the Hater (and the Soup), without ever having to be… insufferred….

Meh. If you just get drunk BEFORE the show starts, you'll save yourself the trouble.

I do like Apple's new commercials for the iphone where they say, essentially, "We have multitasking! See, you can make a phone call and look something up at the same time!!"

Eh. There's always the grading debate on how much you appreciate the humor of the "message" (and this one was a pretty funny message overall), vs the individual jokes. That's why there's always so much fighting…

Naked Lunch. There were at least two things wrong with that title.

This really was awful. It actually makes silicon boobs seem like the classy alternative.

Not after this week. If you weren't rolling when he was screwing up his presentation, discussing his time share in Muncie, splitting his pants and farting…. How can you not mock the guy??

Yeah, I'm guessing that the lucky folks at the avclub don't have to deal with a commission-chasing asshole sales staff. I almost applauded Michael standing up to them.
