Yes to the Party Down reference! Watching that show I can't help thinking that Adam Scott should be way more famous than he is. It's too bad he's turning up in bad movies like this.

I know. I was a little wary at the idea of walking around Harlem looking for this place, just because I'm from the Midwest and was raised to think places like Harlem and New York in general are supposed to be super sketchy or something, but it was a totally normal neighborhood with a bunch of people pushing baby…
Royal Tenenbaums house
I also went to the Royal Tenenbaums house in Harlem several years back on my first trip to New York. Unlike Josh, I didn't have the exact address, but the names of a couple streets nearby, so I got off the subway and sort of wandered around and around the same few blocks until all of a sudden it…
I'm glad I was typing that comment with such frustration that I made several grammatical errors.
Fireflies
I was on a 8-hour drive from Ohio to New York a month or so ago and kept surfing through the radio dial looking for good stations. And it was like every ten minutes I came across that "Fireflies" song, once I caught it playing on two neighboring stations at the exact same time like 30 seconds off. I had no…
Mid to late '90s I really loved Everclear, they were probably my favorite band. I even bought their terrible "Slowmotion Daydream" album that came out in '03 or '04 just out of nostalgia for how much I used to like them. It's pretty depressing to see how the band, or I guess Art Alexakis, is today.
Totally skipped right by the first comment saying the same thing. Awesome.
if they did it for Alan Alda
Maybe they can have another Kidney Now! benefit?
From using Cover It Live in the past, I believe it has the moderators approve each comment as they're submitted, so they might have been only publishing the ones they liked or ones that were the funniest or most relevant.
I love Jimmy Corrigan, and I love that it's so long and the panels and text are so headache-inducingly tiny in some places that you have to really put in the time and effort to read it. I felt like I'd accomplished something great when I finished. Also, I felt depressed.
I was trying to figure out if the references to Daphne and Velma were supposed to be to the Scooby-Doo versions or the Venture Brothers versions, but either way, I really like how certain source material gets re-imagined in more than one way. Like how Rusty's character shows how a Johnny Quest-type would be all grown…
The teeth put me off, too. They were distractingly awful, and I'd never noticed them before. Can't a former VP afford a nice set of caps? Look at Biden! That man's mouth is beautiful.
Ok, I poked around on a few message boards and it seems they shot the introduction bit and the whole collection plus designer walk before the show and then inserted it into the other footage. Lame.
introductory shot
I read in several places that the designers didn't actually appear on the runway before the show because of all the legal limbo when this season was being shot, but in the episode it does show them on the runway introducing their collections.
Wow, I totally forgot about Eva, she's only 5' 6". What a dumb ass show that I was so excited to get off work and go home and watch. Somehow I still find the trainwreck hilarity greater than the trainwreck depression.
I love that episode for bringing Red Mocho Coolers into my life.
I wish the AV Club had a simple "like" or "thumbs up" button for comments just so I could click it for this post.
I went to Catholic school and the same thing was trendy for a while, but fell off rather quickly. I remember feeling depressed that so many of my peers found it hilarious and clever to equate being Jewish to being stupid or lame. I definitely felt a lot of hatred in the comment.
blurb
Comedy Central has been showing tons of commercials for this show and I caught one last night that quotes the AV Club's review of the show. It was from the review of the first show, and they just quoted it as:
