Veronica Mars is overrated teenage junk. And she wasn't on Party Down enough to get a pass from it; nor did she bring anything unique to that show.

Sorry I guess maybe that was a bit harsh. But I've been watching a lot of Showtime lately and between programs they've been airing this "interview" with Ms Bell in which she really does come off badly, like the quintessential hot girl who thinks she's also really funny because all the dudes laugh at all of her "jokes"…

I tried to watch Shameless for the first time the other night but couldn't even make it a few minutes in. Maybe I've just seen one too many shows where hot women stand around and bitch and gossip and then bitch some more. If it had started off with a Macy scene I probably would've given it more of a chance.

Internet photos and/or Maxim spreads are really the only way you should ever look at Kristin Bell. Seriously, who ever told this chick she could act?

Mittens Romney and Barack Obameow.

Quiet, man! Kevin J Anderson might hear you!

Yeah I think this hits it. Immature boys may occasionally inflict physical violence on each other, but they're more focused on just generally just having fun — playing video games, drinking beer, ingesting various narcotics, what have you. But immature girls are obsessed with absolutely destroying their rivals. If you…

Complete disagree. I finally got around to watching The State about a year ago, after gradually becoming a fan of Showalter, Marino, Lennon, et al. It was much sharper and funnier (and more bizarre) than an early-90s MTV sketch comedy from a bunch of borderline teenagers had any right to be.

The sketch where MIB was "trying out" all the mattresses in the mattress store was my favorite. Just hilarious execution, even with an admittedly so-so premise.

That bastard! Let's get him!!

I think that 'dig' was just a 'joke'.

Haven't listed to it yet; been meaning to. But based on what Rabin wrote above, Maron sounds like just a complete idiot, so I think I may not bother.

Hey, that's Almost Oscar-Nominated Actor Patton Oswalt to you, buddy!

Well, I'm not an expert, per se, but I believe traditional comedy is found predominantly in the urine, while sarcasm and irony are more traceable in the hair.

I'd bet good money that Portland's a lot whiter than Indianapolis.

When you put it that way, it's actually a pretty funny story.

Unfortunately, yes. Indiana law stipulates that every potential hiree be screened for THC, amphetamines, and comedy.

I never realized that but it makes total sense. Thanks, Dread Ninja Roberts!

Waaaait … a reboot of WHAT now??

Yeah I like that movie. LaPaglia and Arkin are pretty fucking funny in it, too.
