Seriously, TV Club should boycott BBT this season just on principle. They're trying to get Community canceled, so yeah, fuck this show.

The thing that no one seems to bring up, though, is that rape jokes aren't "edgy" or "uncomfortable" anymore - they're just lazy as hell, because everyone in comedy feels like they have to include them just for "shock value," which dried up years ago and is now just obnoxious. They're not funny, and I just politely…

I always did love the fact that "Sonic," which clearly would never be a real human name, was assumed to be Sonic's real name, but "Tails" was just so ridiculous that they had to give him a "real" name.

Also, it's worth pointing out that she actually is his sister.

I'll go ahead and throw Sorkin's shows into the mix here. Sure, he occasionally had co-writers, but he basically wrote all but like three episodes the entire time he was at West Wing, which is especially crazy when you consider that the first season, he was also doing Sports Night. Granted, his work pace probably was…

@Orange Whip: That wasn't Yauch, it was Nathanial Hornblower, and in all fairness, anyone would be angry if they'd dreamed of that moment since they were a child.

R.E.M.'s only crime is that they basically outlasted all the bands they influenced (i.e. Nirvana), or else, the bands they influenced fell out of fashion (Pearl Jam). In the 90s, they were both elder statesmen and current relevant hitmakers. But once the boosting from younger artists dried up and Pitchfork declared…

I'm glad Community is being afforded all the opportunities that Family Matters never had.

When I got the R&S DVDs I was shocked to discover the disclaimer that the programs on the DVD were "intended for mature audiences." I was like, what the fuck? This show was on at 11am Sunday mornings on a kids network when I was a kid, I watched the shit out of it at age 7 and no one cared. If R&S is deemed…

Fourthed. I love the SHIT out of Adventure Time. This show gave me and my friends the wonderfully useful and descriptive phrase "chubby-tired," which has entered our lexicon permanently since.

I recognized the High Life guy not only from commercials, but also from the cardboard cutout of him they have at the liquor store near my house, which the guy behind the counter referred to as "that colored fella over there."

Steve was a better straight man than Jefferson, but that's because Jefferson wasn't supposed to be a straight man - he was supposed to be the male Peg, another cartoony character who could deliver lines like "My uterus hurts!" like no one else.

Whether he knew it was coming or not, it was definitely clear that Murphy was uncomfortable with talking about it, since the very obvious subtext in Conan's prompting was "hey, remember when you were relevant? Let's talk about that, since neither of us are too enthused to chat about your latest fat-suit opus."

My aunt inadvertently summed up Jay Mohr perfectly one time when talking about some movie she'd seen, when she said "and the movie had some other guy in it…Jay Mohr, I think is his name. Wait, is Jay Mohr the name of an actor? Never mind, he's probably just somebody from New Albany."

He'll do a speaking tour using the Dazed and Confused accent from the Carson Daly thing the whole time.

Murphy on talk shows
Last summer when Conan was still riding high on his early ratings bump, he had Eddie Murphy on the Tonight Show. Murphy was obviously there to promote Norbit or whatever stupid shit he was plugging at the time, but Conan was relentless and more or less forced him to talk about his SNL days. Murphy…

Why can't every AV Club comment be just like this

Kind of like how Horace Loeb heard about his own death today on the local radio.

I just love how all they really have to do to illustrate that he's Brian Wilson is to put Bob in a Hawaiian shirt.
