So this person is really trying to turn the comments section of a borderline-useless article into a discussion of his personal life, and people are responding?  There are so many aspects of this I find unfortunate, including the fact that I was reading the comments to a borderline-useless article. 

So is this new, the This Week in AV Club feature?  I realize a good portion of this site's content is summarizing a show everyone reading it just watched, but recapping recaps seems just a tad omphaloskeptical.  It'd be like watching highlights of SportsCenter. 

Even the WWF says you're a crybaby; only a few polar bear subpopulations are actually in decline.

But that's not really true.  Check out the reviews for bad shows; not every episode of The Following can be below average, but AV Club has yet to give it a grade over C-. 

This guy is about to be king of failing up. 

Same here.  I think it's just because he's had so few lines before.  Even when he's been in several scenes, he's mostly spoken in short bursts.

What's the story, Wishbone?

I'm glad the consensus among people who work(ed) in libraries is that librarians are useless.

Well, here's some actual data, if @avclub-28b1819668d7c62501acb9852cad10a9:disqus doesn't mind, um. truth: http://www.census.gov/hhes/…

It's not; the above discussion is more about semantics than actual incomes/purchasing power/wealth/quality of life.  You have to take these conversations with a grain of salt and understand that on a site with a large majority of left-leaning commenters (who are also disproportionately young and probably…

I'm not exactly sure where you got the $26K number; median household income in the US in 2011 was right about $50K according to Census stats.  I guess if you assume that the average household has two incomes, you get pretty close to that $26K figure.

So you're complaint is that the audience laughed when things were funny?  I know it's not easy to come up with original reasons to say the British version of a show was better than the American version, but you can do better than that. 

I'm sure this has been said several times in the nearly 800 comments so far, but here is the follow-up question to the article: If Dan Harmon weren't Dan Harmon, wouldn't he still be show runner?  If he turned things in on time, didn't start public fights with cast members, and was just a little more pleasant to work…

I think the better question is, would I still like any of my favorite artists if I knew them well in person?  I think that would be a shorter list. 

How has nobody mentioned Schmidt stabbing the soccer ball?

Cliffs in benefits also make it difficult for people to actually choose to make it out of dependency, even if they could: http://www.aei-ideas.org/20…

Wrong message for this site, dude.  The Kinks didn't even make the cut; it's not a very open-minded list.

I think you answered all of your own questions, perhaps unwittingly.  Annie wasn't pretending to be Mrs. Winger as part of an infatuation with Jeff, but with an infatuation with the idea of being married and having a successful career (aside: Annie switching her major to forensics seems to be a season runner),…

Yeah, I've gotten the impression from some things on AV Club recently (especially from Todd, who I enjoy reading) that they want to be influential, and crafting narratives is the most effective way for media to do it.  It feels like partisan bias in a hard news site, with the caveat that we all understand…

More jokes could also result in Paradigms of Human Memory.
