At our Superbowl party, we saw the awkward blur-out that I guess happened immediately after she flipped the bird (which nobody even noticed).  Thanks to that blur EVERYONE at the party knew what had happened.  Good jorb, network censors.

The song sounds like it was written by an angry grandma circa 1982.  It just makes me want to play video games in front of her out of spite.  Also to prove to her the surely mind-blowing fact that women like them too.

The Limbo face had several appearances on "Sesame Street" as well.  And I apparently had them nicely repressed as I made it only thirty seconds into that Johnny Carson clip.

I get what you're saying.  It still doesn't change the fact that I saw live animals inside a blender on national television.

There was a brief -VERY brief- revival of the Stretch Armstrong toys in the early '90's.  Stretch was joined by his dog, Fetch, and he gained an arch-enemy called Vac-Man, who was filled with little poly-pellet things and came with a little air pump.  If you deflated him and stretched him, he's stay in the altered…

So basically the obscure Jim Henson joint, "Living With Dinosaurs".  (Look it up on the YouTubes.  It's the most upsetting and morose thing involving Creature Shop characters this side of "Dream Child".)

To be fair, the Teddy Ruxpin cartoon had a pretty epic story going on for what it was; what with the magic crystals and Ruxpin's search for his family and whatnot and the complicated politics of the magical land.  Even back then I could tell that they worked out the characters and setting first and the gimmicky toys…

More like a really twisted Care Bear but close.

Red and black, friend of Jack.

Serious Question: One recent episode of "Fear Factor" had the contestants drink a "coffee" made out of the ground-up remains of LIVE beetles, caterpillars, etc.  Like, the beetles and caterpillars were still alive as they went through the coffee grinder.

"(Abortionplex) house band Ben Folds Five"

In that sense, he was kind of the precursor to those "Vote For The Worst" American Idol websites.

Also, Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole buncha sonnets.

Jeez, if I found myself able to create elephants out of thin air, I'd feel compelled to do something silly like, say, save every critically endangered species there is.  (This is assuming the "spontaneously generate complex life" follows something other than "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends" rules; though I don't…

Pope Lick?!?

Even so, it's a pretty incredible thing to read what songs were on that list for the first time ever since it was announced; I'd almost forgotten all about it.

Well, a lot of the flops Nathan has written about made money — just not the absurd amounts they were expected to make.  I'd say Chris Gaines counts because of all the crazy plans Garth had for this character that fizzled out when the general reaction to the album was, "what the hell is this?"

There's also a version of the "Tiki Room" theme song remixed to the beat of "Macarena", which is better than you'd think, and "Livin' La Vida Mickey", which is worse than you'd think.

I've nothing to add to this except to note that Nancy Cartwright's autobiography is a really, really strange reading experience.

I don't even think I've ever heard "(Whoot) There it Is!"
