I'm pretty sure that was just an example of major networks trying to appear hip and self-aware. Because as we all know, it takes a REALLY BIG moment on a show for it to wind up "on the internet."

"Can we get a DeLorean?"
I normally spend each week defending the Office against the contrarian complaints of d-bags who bemoan the "sitcommy plotting" (since you know, the Office isn't a sitcom or anything, it's totally a real documentary and all), but I have to admit, I thought the baby thing was a little obvious.…

When my and my friend were 9
we both had Dookie, and his mom took his copy away because it had cussing on it.

Matthews and Morrissette, together at last
It's like they're making the shitty mid-90s musician movie of my dreams.

Consider the lilies of the god damn field.

How did I forget my all time favorite moment from this movie: "God DAMNIT!"

Along with Annie Hall, Christmas Vacation and a few others,
this is one of those movies I can literally just close my eyes and watch the entire movie on my retinas, I've seen it so many times.

Nor does it have a classic enunciation like that of Polito in Miller's Crossing: "Etiks."

I always kinda thought the song was too cheerful on the surface to take at face value, and I always kinda saw something to his parents going to a "show" (court) and him waking up in his "mother's arms" (custody). I could just be projecting, but when has anyone ever done that?

That legendary divorce is such a bore
I don't know how literally we're taking the "real-life divorce" thing, but the first thing that comes to mind for me in this category is "Divorce Song" by Liz Phair, because you know, it's awesome and stuff.

Milton actually did ask about it: "I believe you have my stapler?"

You see what happens, Larry? This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps.

Bob Vance Vance Refrigeration was actually asking, "Are those StaplesTM, America's #1 choice for office supplies?" NBC just keeps getting more and more subtle with their product placement.

Seriously, that was probably the highlight of this entire season. As much as I should've seen it coming as soon as the song started playing, I really didn't, and it was all the sweeter for it.

As long as we're talking father stunt casting
Hey Nabin, remember a long time ago (i.e. pre-scandal) when you suggested John Edwards needed to make a cameo as Kenneth's father? Well, tonight's episode convinced me of what I've long suspected, which is that Joe Biden also needs to make a cameo as Pete's dad. Seriously.

Honestly, I feel like AV Club is being too hard on this show
The pilot review was lukewarm, and since then, it's like it's been fighting to keep its head above water around here. Maybe I'm just too forgiving, but I feel like this show so far as been just as funny, if not more so, than the first season of the Office. I…

With a taste that's oddly familiar.
