Sandler already made STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT, but the studio made him change the title to Happy Gilmore

Sure, I was thinking Sandler of more recent vintage, like Jack & Jill or the Grown Ups movies or That's My Boy or (well, I'll stop here, but my god is he in some shitty movies).

I think both are great smart dumb comedies. A truly dumb comedy (think "Adam Sandler") is a terrible thing to sit through, but a smart dumb comedy can be fantastic. Super Troopers and Beerfest are obviously much different in tone from ZAZ movies like Airplane! or Naked Gun, but to me they have a similar quality of

It seems weird to me that anyone could get that worked up about Bob Seger.

I just listened to Frank's 2000" TV last night, having not heard it for probably a few years, and that is one fantastic song. It hits me right in my jangle bone.

I would still unapologetically rock out in my car to the Green Day, Foo Fighters, and POTUSA entries. Hell, even Alanis. It was overplayed as fuck in the 90s, but it's a good song.

I went for the SEC too. When I saw "investigations," my mind went right there and couldn't think of anything else.

I definitely yelled at Chris (well, not him really, but his image on my TV screen… you know what I mean) when he announced his wager.

I support your decision

I think copyright law actually mostly makes sense. It's mostly patent and trademark that tend to be bird-law-esque in their disregard for reason.

Maybe it's a peculiar regional slang thing, but to me "hopper" has always meant "toilet".

He's mostly been writing books, apparently

For me it's Gene Wilder. My brain has a hard time accepting the idea that Willy Wonka will die. And, maybe it's just a function of the roles he's played over the years, but he just seems like a really nice person too, iconic film roles aside.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the frantic clicking noises after every clue. I mean, if he knows the answer (and he almost always does) and wants to mash the thing like mad, that's fine… but holding the buzzer right next to his mic makes it unpleasant for the audience. On the plus side, as others have mentioned, it

It seems like the "jump around the high-value questions in various categories at random" is a good strategy for getting DDs, but (and maybe this is just my peculiar preference) to me it makes the game feel a lot more chaotic and difficult to follow as a viewer. Basically, I don't like it. Of course, there's an

If we don't vote for them, who knows how nasty their Tiki God could be?

It's certainly repetitive as hell. Obviously I understand that a lot of dance music basically just repeats a few bars ad infinitum, and that a steady groove has its purpose (allowing people, especially those who've had a few adult beverages, to pantomime vertical coitus), but I'd never just listen to "Get Lucky" (or

I guess it doesn't read to me as intentional, since so many people talk about it as some sort of working class anthem when (if the contradictions are intentional) it's really more like she's saying poor people are hypocrites for mocking the rich or saying "we don't care" about material wealth, because if they had

Every time I hear it I get progressively more baffled by what exactly she's trying to say lyrically, but maybe I'm just missing something.

The shame of the A.V. Club's new business model is that Rabin would've been GREAT at this. But alas, we must settle for VanDerAssplay.
