For me, the Top 10 joke I always laugh at and, on the very rare times it's relevant, straight up stolen without credit is Top Ten Things Heard In Line For How Stella Got Her Groove Back:

I remember that so vividly. When m&ms got rid of tan, I wrote to the company citing that bit as one of the reasons to bring them back.

Shearer has publicly talked about the show not being as good as it once was. It's been years since I've read such an interview but I can't imagine the most recent seasons swung his opinion back.

I'm fine with him being uncomfortable with coming out even to his group of accepting mutant friends. It's a great angle and speaks volumes about how not accepting our society still is.

I get that telepathy and time displacement throw this into a weird place that we don't have in real life. It's bothersome though. We know that Iceman isn't gay but his younger self is (this is the same 616 universe right?). It doesn't make any sense. At least bisexuality could, in theory, be kind of logical but they

The impact is blunted even more by him not coming out but Jean Grey telling him: "You're gay." Then he says maybe he's bisexual to which Jean Grey basically says, "No, you're full gay."

I agree. Season 2's biggest problems were the writing over the direction.

I forgot all about that which, thankfully, speaks to how well it was received. I'd argue it was a better idea than the RFRA. That might have at least generated one job for a PR intern sending out the "news" each day.

What has Mike Pence done this year that was dumber than this? I know of things in previous years, but this is easily the worst of 2015.

They'd work better if they weren't rehashes of earlier episodes. GI Jeff was Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas. ANOTHER AD&D episode. Do crazy, high concept stuff, but have something new to say with them.

I hope I am severely misinterpreting that. Did Stewie become pregnant with Brian's children?

And Flanders has made the claim that "games of chance are strictly forbidden by Deuteronomy 7."

For brevity, no one's going to beat John Updike.

For similar sized cities in Indiana, it probably is the coolest. That
isn't meant to be the backhanded compliment that it sounds like.

I really question Columbus being "flashy but with a definitely cool sense of style"

Because no one on Parks and Recreation is known for murder and being objectively awful.

Anyone's love for Muncie is a joke.

Yeah, it's just worded as though it's happening in real time. So, it makes me laugh at the idea of it happening in that time span.

Considering the time stamp on "I'm convinced he'll do it" and "He doesn't" are both 9:30, it was probably a shorter conversation than that.

McDonald's, which is franchise heavy, probably had little to nothing to do with what was happening at that particular McDonald's. It almost certainly was just a shitty GM running the place in a shitty way. It sucks that it was like that for her and the rest of the staff, but I wouldn't blame McDonald's for that.
