Man people are angry at the grade
I'm quite comfortable with it being a B+ episode. They did a lot of things well (the shift back to Ron being a real character was perfect), the gag of L'il Sebastian was solid, and it was completely endearing to pan out and see how successful Leslie was.

I agree that the twist really worked. One of my least favorite episodes was the season 1 (I think) episode focused on sympathizing with Jerry. It didn't work for me, because letting Jerry be the schlemiel and schlemazel is one of the show's solid elements. But having someone push that to a clearly unfair point was a…

Since I don't watch "Jersey Shore" and can probably only recognize Snooki without being told who it was, I kind of assumed it was a cheap guest appearance by one of them. Evidently not?

I watched the "Producer's Cut" on NBC.com, since I missed the episode last night, but in that, he says the two things about white people are that they are terrified of curses and love Rachel Ray.

Don't forget the occasional piece of TMBG's children's music. Purely out of spite

Westboro parodies.

This "not fucking around" shit
Goes both ways.

Oh! Gore VERBINSKI
It's strange how reading that as "Gore Vidal" made sense to me.

That's still kind of a lazy answer. Really, did Monica and Bob get anything out of this venture? Anything at all? Aside from intangibles like connecting briefly with her children, what was gained?

I kind of understand, because that song became obscenely ubiquitous (doesn't mean it's not great, it just numbs), but "Man on the Moon" into "Nightswimming" into "Find the River." It doesn't get better.

If this turns out to be true, orange soda might be the strangest visual metaphor for conception ever.

I've only gotten Collapse Into Now earlier today, so it hasn't sunk in yet, but I'd be surprised if it couldn't stand up against The King Is Dead. While I enjoy and appreciate the latter immensely, I never find myself seeking to listen to it.

Automatic for the People is one of the most astounding albums of all time.

Was it just me, or did that kid get younger as the scene progressed? At first, I thought he was a teenager, but then he's hitting on 10 1/2 year-old Debbie. Which I guess doesn't mean he isn't a teenager, but still.

Everyone's right (in my hypothesis).

I bet you 100 dollars
Someone's preggers.

Boy, am I glad Charlie Sheen expropriated this incredibly common word.

And what about the 30 Year's War??

I don't think anyone "grew up" with the Star Wars prequels, much in the way people in my age bracket didn't "grow up" with "Monkey Trouble" or "Blank Check." Yeah, we saw them and maybe enjoyed them in the moment, but they in no way influenced our world view.
