I really wish he would just make a Produce Pete movie.

I think it had more to do with the tone of article, and the fact that it was posted in the newswire. There's an (unfair) expectation that everything posted on the a.v. club, especially anything that isn't a review, will have a detached, snarky tone to it.

My sense from the ads is that it is thick with James L. Brooks-style schmaltzy sentimentality.

But the Dawes meme is so easy to explain. Look:

I really need to see Dan in Real Life so I can fully appreciate this running joke, since it's already kind of funny when I don't understand it at all.

You've gotta lock that down.

More like, " Yes! There will be another Mortal Kombat movie!"

I love Chome! It uses such little memory, it doesn't even remember the "r".

¡Usted puedes hacerlo!

Rob Schneider es . . . una zanahoria.

Hope that your friendship with Adam Sandler will allow you to pursue an unlikely career in TV and film comedies, in which you romance beautiful women who would never, ever so much as look at you in real life, despite your modicum of fame?

Unless it's "that time of the month," then watch out. amiritefellas?

Attractive 40-ish blond woman with a strong sense of civic pride is elected to city council and fights for the public good in defiance of institutional corruption? Can someone explain to me how this is not the current season of Parks and Recreation?

Sounds like he's got a lawsuit on his hands. Better call Saul.

If you think a TV show needs a full season to create a lasting legacy of fan fiction, then you don't know nerds. Nerds could create a lasting legacy of fan fiction based on a half-finished cartoon that Joss Whedon doodled on a bar napkin.

I saw it shortly after it was released on DVD with a friend who is one of those film buff types who talks through the whole movie with fairly insightful but still very annoying comments about fillmmaking (maybe you know the type?). If you ever want to have the Goodfellas Copacabana shot completely ruined for you, just…

While this gimmick has sort of grown on me, I'm still puzzled by his insistence on linking the commercial slogan in the final line with the subject of the song (in this case "beans" and "Beane," haw haw). That sort of internal logic is very un-Wesley.
